If you want to set meta tags and key words to your categories or products, you need to go to admin/catalog/ all the way over to the right you will see Meta Tags Defined for categories. Click a product inside a category and do the same for the product. To define your Meta Tags and description for you site open /includes/languages/english/your_custom_file/meta_tags.php to define them.

hello countrycharm,

To remove the category details from the product url, does the modification below work correctly?

open products.php, replace the code

$temp_params[0]=categoriesParser::getName($cPath, $languages_id, $languages_code); 
$temp_params[1] = self::getName($products_id, $languages_id, $languages_code) 

with the code

$temp_params[0]=self::getName($products_id, $languages_id, $languages_code) 

i guess you are good at this, any idea of this modification?

Why do you want to remove the category details from the product url?

Hi,

I am planning to install SSU on my cart and wanted some clarifications about it's workings.

I read that the module does a 301 redirect from the old url to the new url. In that case

- will the link juice of the old urls remain? That is, will everything that I did before installing the module still be valid?
- will I be using the new url for future linkbuilding?

Thanks for your feedback in advance!

because my product urls are like
site/category_name_c_2/category_name_981741_p_35.html
site/category_name_c_2/category_name_981742_p_36.html
it means product names are almost same as category names, and the names are very very very long
so i decide to remove the category details from product url

could you help? thanks in advance

I'm only guessing but if your products are inside a category it will have to work that way or you will be creating problems down the road for yourself.

i changed
$temp_params[0]=categoriesParser::getName($cPath, $languages_id, $languages_code);
$temp_params[1] = self::getName($products_id, $languages_id, $languages_code);
to
$temp_params[0]=self::getName($products_id, $languages_id, $languages_code);

it seems it works now, but i'm worried if it would cause problems down the road,

i find you are good at coding and you know well about the mod ssu,
could you offer a good method to remove the category details from product url if that method above is not good?
i would like to pay for this modification, thanks a lot

I tell you what, you can contact the one who made the module to do this for you. They will know exactly what you want to do. You can contact them here.
Or

from Here and ask a question.

Everything you do after you install Simple Seo will be use and index by Google and other search engines you submit to. All the old urls will be drop sooner or later. There nothing you have to do after you install the module except submit the new links to the search engines.

I have 2 questions concerning the Simple SEO

1. Is there a web site or blog that explains what should be the standard setup setting once the program is installed. I looked at the pages found in the install filles and on rubikintegration and they are great for installation but the video only shows you how to change the alias.

What should be the actual settings (true/false selections) to begin simple seo and what do some of these buttons do in simple terms.

2. I have a english and french language web site. My default landing page is in english and mysite.com/ for french the simple SEO shows mysite.com/fr/ and I must type in /fr to see the french version of my home page. Once there all other pages will be in french or english, depending on my language button selection.
However for someone on a french page and needing to go back to the "home" page it takes them to the english mysite.com/ (default) and not mysite.com/fr/.

How can I keep the french customer from going to the english landing page?

I have Simple SEO running after a lot of reading in this thread but I cannot solve my ( last ) Simple SEO issue with the Alias Functions.

If it is turned on in admin->configuration->simple SEO and when I go to Alias Functions- Manage Aliases: " Click here " and I click, nothing is happening.

Also I do not have the Add button to add a alias rule?

Does anyone know what the cause is of this?
