Clyde,

Just wondering if ther eis a way to have Ultimate SEO URLs rewrite the URLs of all links pages.

For example, I would like my links URLs to read like this...

www.mysite.com/links/links-category-name.html

instead of this...

www.mysite.com/links.html?lPath=6

Do you know of any easy way to do this?

BTW - Have a great new year! :)

Alex,

To be honest, I don't know. I don't use either of the seo contributions.

BTW: I'm working on a re-write of the contribution. I was looking at some of the template code compared to several of the "submit" something templates and saw a lot of things that could be improved.

If I write, can you test?

Happy New Year!

[Alex Clarke]

Sure - It'd be good to test it out.

If you want me to test before releasing any updates to the community just PM me. :)

[clydejones]

Will do.

I sometimes feel it is better to just start from scratch. instead of trying to re-write some of the older contributions. But since the framework is already there it, why reinvent the wheel.

[Alex Clarke]

Exactly. Good luck coding and I look forward to the results! :)

I got your contribution to work on my site (after changing hosts; Thanks kobra!)
But I do have a question. With many link exchange programs they ask you what page your link to their site is.

Well, in my case their link is on http://www.excellentsoaps.com/catalo...ain_page=links
but when I put that page into their reciprocal link checker it always comes up negative. What link should I be putting in?

[kebeid]

The checker says that because the link redirects - its not the actual address in the link.
I have the same thing going on with me, no solution yet. I'm gonna experiment/watch what happens here.

Is there a specific reason that you have Zen Cart installed in a sub directory and not at the root?

I'll try adding a link to and from my TEST SITE and see if we can work out the problem.

NB: Categories should be used with the contribution (as I said, I'm re-writing a lot of the original code and will try to work out the use or non-use of categories for links for those that just prefer a links page and not categorizing the links.)

[clydejones]

OK, the link to your site is here:

LINK TO YOUR SITE

The Link on your site to mine should be under Zen-Cart Development.
