ClicShopping allow you to use the artificial intelligence with ChatGpt, there are 2 ways to use this new functionality

1 - Use the chatbox available in the header
This approach is useful is you need to ask a specific request, for example for the seo (title, description, keywords)

The response can be a bit slow.

2 - Use the wysiwig chatbox available for all descriptions
This approach will allow you to include a product description easily. You must click on the map icon close the image icon. A dialog box is open and you can insert your question.

The response can be a bit slow.

3 - Setting the Artificial Intelligence

To use this approach, you must configure the API and to include the OpenAI key. Of course you can change some parameters.
The key is available on OpenIA platform. Just note the API is not free (except for testing during 3 months)

Documentation :
if you want more information about the setting configuration, please look there : https://platform.openai.com/docs/quickstart/start-with-an-instruction

4/ What you do inside ClicShopping with the IA

Across the chat : Use on all pages

Across the Wysiwyg : Specific request about

- Products (description - short description - SEO - image gallery)

- Brands (description - SEO - image)
- Categories (description - SEO - image)
- Contact email
- Newletters
- Content page (description - SEO)
... All other page use the Wysiwyg
- SEO in general
- Request Help with a general chat

In the futur we want to develop and to implement more the interactions with the IA.

ClicShopping has now a first implementation about api rest. For more information about how to use it, we recommend you to read our wiki on github.

If you do not know what is an API REST, we invite you to read this website. https://restfulapi.net/

November 13, 2022

Time-based one-time password (TOTP) is a computer algorithm that generates a one-time password (OTP) that uses the current time as a source of uniqueness. As an extension of the HMAC-based one-time password algorithm (HOTP), it has been adopted as Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard RFC 6238.[1]

TOTP is the cornerstone of Initiative for Open Authentication (OATH), and is used in a number of two-factor authentication (2FA) systems.

A Time-Based One-Time Password or TOTP is a passcode valid for 30 to 90 seconds that has been generated using the value of the Shared Secret and system time.

How it works inside CliShopping,

You have two options you can activate, one for the administration protection and one on Catalog login. The approach is the same for the both. You insert your email and your are redirected on Topt page QR code. You have just to scan the code with your phone.

Aministration Login :

Protection 1 Connexion :

You must enter you login and password. If it's does not work you must restart. It's security normal process

Protection 2 Ip identification :

You Ip is registred everytime you want to try to log inside the administration. After 5 times (you can define), you account is blocked and you must wait to try another time.

You can also receive an email to know if someone try to connect on you admin

Protection 3 Double authentification by TOTP: (option)

This is an option where you can include the TOTP identification. The process is quite simple.

If you activate the TOTP, the first time when you tried to connect inside the admin, a TOTP password is generated and save inside your database.

After a QR code appears and you must terminate your identification with the sanc of your QR code and include the number given by your phone.

The process compare the TOTP number with your QR code number and allow you to connect or not inside the administration.

The login

This the same process as the administration.

Protection 1 Connexion :

You must enter you login and password. If it's does not work you must restart. It's security normal process

Protection 2 Double authentification by Topt : (option)

Same process as the Administration for the TOTP authentification.

Conclusion :

This approach is not a perfect process security but allow you to have something best with a low interference with the action client. It's in coformity with the regulation recommandtion proposed in Europe.

You can activate this process only for administration or for the catalog. It's independent process.

For example, Amazon is more restritive about the double identification because you must receive a code on your smartphone. The problem with this approach if you tried to connect with another computer and you do not have your phone, you can not. In other part, with the TOTP process implemented inside the ClicShopping, you can use on every computer.

To increase the application security and data storage, you always have a compromise to choose and there is always a repercution on your client. For moment, it can be transparent, another moment, it must do an action.

Also you can increase again the security to include and antispam App and create different kind to security approach inside different ClicShopping forms.

The point aborded here is only about the identification.

When Google or other search engines come to your site to read and store the content in its search index, it will look for a special file called robots.txt. This file is a set of instructions to tell search engines where they can look to crawl content and where they are not allowed to crawl content. We can use these rules to ensure that search engines don't waste their time looking at links that do not have valuable content and avoid links that produce faceted content.

Why is this important?

Search engines need to look at and store as many pages that exist on the internet as possible. There are currently an estimated more 4.5 billion web pages active today. That's a lot of work for Google.

It cannot look and store every single page, so it needs to decide what to keep and how long it will spend on your site indexing pages. This is called a crawl budget.

How many pages a day Google will index depends on many factors, including how fresh the site is, how much content you have and how popular your site is. Some websites will have Google index as few as 30 links a day. We want every link to count and not waste Google's time.

What does the suggested Robots.txt file do?

ClicShopping optimised rules exclude site areas with no unique content but instead redirect links to existing topics. Also excluded are areas such as the privacy policy, cookie policy, log in and register pages and so on. Submit buttons and filters are also excluded to prevent faceted pages. Finally, user profiles are excluded as these offer little valuable content for Google but contain around 150 redirect links. Given that Google has more seconds on your site, these links that exist elsewhere eat up your crawl budget quickly.

What is the suggested Robots.txt file?

Here is the content of the suggested Robots.txt file. If your ClicSHoppingis inside a directory, you will need to apply it to the root of your site manually. So, for example, if your community was at /home/site/public_html/myDirectory/ - you would need to create this robots.txt file and add it to /home/site/public_html. It's simple just edit robot.txt and change inside the information

example of robot.txt

Note : domain.ltd must be changed by your domain.

The version 3.323 allows to use htaccess to rewrite the url.

To use this function you must activate in Shop/SEO urls this 2 options

1 - Use Search-Engine Safe Native URLs

this option rewrites the url like this :

 https://demo.clicshopping.org/index.php/Products/Description/logitech-trackman-marble-mouse/Id-12

and

2- Use Search-Engine Safe URLs Pro (with htaccess)

This option rewrites the url like this :

https://demo.clicshopping.org/Products/Description/logitech-trackman-marble-mouse/Id-12

To use the last option, you must include inside your root an htaccess with this syntax. Of course, it can updated in function of your server.

note : This option works only on the catalog without customer, if your are logged you will see the url above. It's optimized only for the search engine.

For apache 2.4

Hello,

Thank you for you comment, it's always welcome.

@Juliana,

Yes you can always use the last image gallery but you must follow this process
- Do not remove the jquery hooks because the module use jquery - For this version, we do not touch on the module - No pb

- You must change inside the image gallery these elements :

edit : pi_products_info_gallery.php

Inside sql configuration : 'configuration_title' => 'Where do want to display the gallery position ?',

update by this

'set_function' => 'clic_cfg_set_boolean_value(array(\'float-end\', \'float-start\', \'float-none\'))',

Of course, remove and reinstall it.
I will push when I have a little time a specific module in the marketplace and github community.

December 13, 2020

Hello,

No the v2.x will stay like that. This approach is new, we are thinking also to let the horizontal menu as an option. the decision is not taken.

About the chart it's also js approach with no depedency with Jquery.
