Simple SEO URL [support thread]

[yellow1912]

Version: Alpha 2
Release: un-released
Tested on ZC 1.3.8
Should work on ANY recent ZC version
Goals:
1. Simple SEO URL, create seo url for all ZC pages (unlike other seo packages like Magic SEO)
2. Minimal core file edit (currently need to edit 1 file)
3. Minimal performance penalty

Sample url:
https://www.site.com/checkout_payment.html
http://www.site.com/index/cPath/Pin_Brooch-10/
http://www.site.com/product_info/cPa...piece_set-837/

Drawbacks:
1. no beautiful url such as:
http://www.site.com/bracelet_1.html (for category link)
2. core file edit (1)

Just sent you a PM.

Just finished a brief installation instruction file. This should be easy because the edit is minimal.

Email sent. All feedbacks are appreciated so we can improve the mod.

PS: current version does not support "static" links (links that use file other than index.php). I doubt if any people use it tho.
Also current version does not reflect the category/product new names if they are changed. This will be in the next version (after I receive all the feedbacks and bug reports for this current version)

Looks straight forward. I'll install it and let you know how it goes.

Thanks.

Alpha 2.1 now available with minor code fixes + change it htaccess to make sure links like this work:

http://www.site.com/index/cPath/Pin_Brooch-10/?blah1=blah2

Notice the query at the end? This should not happen but just in case that happens, we got that taken care of.

A question from PM:

Simple SEO doesn't seem to do anything with the GET form?

Yes, because SearchEngines do not submit forms, also I try to make the code simple and efficient.

Is there any known issue with thid mod and the Contact Us, Register, and Login pages?

Something changed last week and all of those pages pop errors. Adding to the shopping cart does nothing, register shows "ERROR_SECURITY_ERROR", Contact Us doesn't recognize valid data. We have SSL and the https://www.mysite.com works, so I believe the SSL is OK. I tried adding login.php to the exclude list but that didn't work.

I'm still looking for a solution, but I wondered if SSU might be affecting my secure pages.

My problem is the same as in this thread (but this is not a solution for me)

Well, I uninstalled SSU and my shopping cart, login and contact us pages are working again.

If anyone has any suggestions about what went wrong I'd appreciate the info.

Thanks
