Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[Craft Magick]

If you get redirection in admin, try this:
http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zen...direction_loop

Again, the wiki has tons of useful info, it takes tons of time to build up those pages as well, so please check the wiki first when you run into a problem. Usually the solution is there.

My redirect is during customer login on the storefront side but I'll check the wiki as you suggest in case an admin redirect solution may solve it.

Have you ever checked if your site can be visited at both links: http://yoursite.com AND http://www.yoursite.com If not, try it, I recommend that you try it now.

Some search engines may view site.com and www.site.com as being two different URLs. If you split your link popularity amongst both versions, you will have less authority on each version than if the two were combined.

So it is recommended that you pick one style and stick with it
Redirection

To do the redirection, add the code below to your .htaccess (right below the RewriteBase line)

Don't forget to change example.com to your domain name

From none-www to www

# trailing slash
# If URL-path does not contain a period or end with a slash
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.|/$)
# add a trailing slash
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1/ [R=301,L]
#
# Redirect non-www domain requests to www domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

From www to none-www

# trailing slash
# If URL-path does not contain a period or end with a slash
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.|/$)
# add a trailing slash
# RewriteRule .* http://example.com%{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
#
# Canonicalize the domain
# Redirect non-www domain requests to www domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Is the .htaccess file it refers to the top level (i.e. MYDOMAIN/.htaccess ??

or is it refering to an .htaccess in a subfolder somewhere ??

In your root directory on your server. Just add this to it like mine below.. Put your web address there not mine....lol

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^thegoodshepherdstore.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.thegoodshepherdstore.com/$1

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

Thank you. I modified .htaccess as you describe above and here's a copy

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA]

# STRIP THE REWRITEBASE RULE FROM NON-SSL CONNECTIONS.
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/craftmagick/
RewriteRule ^(.*) /index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU

# trailing slash
# If URL-path does not contain a period or end with a slash
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.|/$)
# add a trailing slash
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1/ [R=301,L]
#
# Redirect non-www domain requests to www domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^craftmagick.com\.
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.craftmagick.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Unfortunately I'm still getting the Redirect Loop error when customers try to login...

and SOMETIMES now ( though not always) just hitting the BACK button on the browser takes you back into the store and you are already logged in when arriving back.

But sometimes NOT... and when that happens you have to re-enter the store URL in your browser and upon arriving at the store you're already logged in

Running Zen version 1.3.8a
Here's a link to my site if anyone has any suggestions

That is a mod_rewrite 301 permanent redirect:

but I found the link below more readable if you want to workout how regexps work:

I dont think version 3.5.8 has any bug that would cause this, but please upgrade right away to 3.6.3 first.
http://public.rubikintegration.com/

Clearing cache then please let me know if the error is still there.

[CoolCarPartsOnline]

I am trying to install this mod on a site. I had first installed the 3.5.7 then I found out about the 3.6.3 so I tried to upgrade to the new version and now when I go to the extras>simple SEo I get the following error

1146 Table 'coolcarp_precutcartint.eztpl_links_aliases' doesn't exist
in:
[show index from eztpl_links_aliases]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Also the Add To Cart doesn't work with this mod.

[yellow1912]

oops, sorry the db file has some table prefix i forgot to remove.

The add to cart is because you are using an older version :)

PS: simply download the package again and upload the admin part.
