Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[pizza392]

i made a change to remove the category details from the product url, i change the code $temp_params[0]=categoriesParser::getName($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) in products.php, it seems that works, but i'm not sure if its an good idea? or it exists hidden dangers? what do u think?

what do you think about it?
would it cause any problem?

Hello

I have installed Simple Seo inside a new installation of ZenCart 1.3.9h
Before i have installed: Module Manager (all fine)
After i have installed Simple Seo 3.8.5
After i have update with Yellow Simple Seo 3.8.8

I have turned ON Simple Seo, but when i surf on the website, tell me: "No input file specified. " With Firefox if i try with I.E the file is not find...
The address is correct, ex: www.mywebsite.com/privacy
(not find the page privacy)

if i turn off Simple Seo all is fine.

I think that the problem is .Htaccess this is the file:

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "zencart" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase /
RewriteBase /

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU



The Zencart is installed in the Root.... i think that its' alla fine, but it's not work, ( i use godaddy, i wait 24 hours for refresh .htaccess but nothing is change)

Thank for you help.

Put this into your .htaccess file and see what happens. I have Godaddy also and I know it works with no problems. If it does not work go back and check the files and make sure there are all in there proper location.


Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mywebsite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mywebsite.com//$1 [R=301,L]

# Make sure to change "test_site" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase /
RewriteBase /

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU

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!

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

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 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?


The shop ( www.bestlooks.nl) is running with zen cart v 1.3.9h, module manager 3.8.5 and Simple SEO "yellow1912-simple-seo-url-95940c2" is installed.
