Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[stratis]

Thanks countrycharm!

I solved the problem. I updated SSU 3.8.4 and module manager v1.8, then it works. I hope this would help some people who have the same problem.

I get a 500 internal error when enabling ssu
The error log says:

"[Sat Jun 26 20:24:11 2010] [error] [client 194.78.217.10] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace., referer: http://www.pulpkiosk.net/"

I don't know where to find "LimitInternalRecursion", "LogLevel debug" ...

I updated to the latest version of the module module manager and SSU but now my integrated wordpress blog is giving me a 404 error page. I included it in the exclude list but it's still not showing up, along with the tons of articles I have included in it.

Any advice on this?

I just installed simple seo urls on a zen cart 1.3.8a site.

I have my products at the top level. I want the urls for the products to be www.website.com/product-name , however right now the urls are coming out as www.website.com/c-0/product-name

The settings that I currently have in simple seo urls are as follows:

Name delimiter: -
File extension:
ID delimiter: -
Set max category level: 0
Exclude list: advanced_search_result,redirect,popup_image_additional,download,wordpress
Set Link Alias Status: true
Set minimum word length: 0
Set maximum name length: 0
Set SSU Status: true
Set SSU Multi Language Status: false
Set Query Key's Exclude List: zenid,gclid,number_of_uploads,number_of_downloads,action,sort,page,disp_order,fi lter_id,alpha_filter_id,currency
Set Auto Alias Status: true
Set Category Separator: /
Hide default language identifier: true
Cache reset time: 1278097449

Thank you for any help you can give me.

hi
Can anyone explain how google got this link for this product eventhough the category link exists?? How can I stop google picking up this additional text (?sort=2a&alpha_filter_id=68) at the end of a url?

Correct link

http://www.ethoil.com/store/pure-chamomile-oil-c-9

Incorrect google link
http://www.ethoil.com/store/pure-cha...a_filter_id=68

FOr problem with duplicates.
Add to robots.txt in root directory
Disallow: /*sort=*
Disallow: /*action=*
Disallow: /*alpha_filter_id=*

I also have
Disallow: /*tell_a_friend*
Disallow: /*popup_image* > but after that google image search goes down..


You can also disalow parameters in " Gogole webmasters tools"

Question: Does SSU eliminate the need for meta tags in ZC? I have approximately 3300 products I need to create meta tags for but if using SSU and meta tags together is overkill (as far as the search engines are concerned) I won't spend the (a great deal of) time on the meta tags. Or does SSU simply create a product name link (alone and unrelated to meta tags) in a more useable and readable form?

Thanks....

No Simple Seo does not eliminate the need for meta tags. Zencart does a very good job taking care of the meta tags for products if you choose not to fill them out. What I do since I have over 3000 product is to fill a meta tag out for my categories and let zen take care of the rest.

Thank you, Countrycharm. I wasn't aware that ZC did such a good job of handling meta tags without completing each one (title, keywords and description) for each product independently. That definitely saves a lot of work using meta tags for categories only. I would guess that SSU only refines what ZC already does (?)Thanks again.

I am trying to install with zen cart v.1.3.9d. Has anyone had success doing a full install with this version of zen cart. My admin won't show my ssu.php page to install the program it says page not available. Basically it's a 500 error page (not available). I can look in my FTP and see the file exists. I tried to increase file permissions but then it just redirected the admin: Simple SEO URL manager to my website front end home page.

Don't know why this will not install at all and I get a 500 error when I click the link to install when that page is there.

Got it. Must have been the cache. Just like the directions said patience.
