New Enhancements (since the last version) =========================================================== * To ensure URLs are W3C compatible, htmlspecialchars is run over all generated URLs with mode and character set specified (PHP 5.4 compatibility). * Setting "Enable automatic rewrite" to true will automatically issue a 301 redirect for URLs not matching the output from zen_href_link. * For linked products canonical links are generated when needed by using the prodct's master category id. The generated links are passed to Zen Cart's canonical link system. * Added handling for copy / pasted "Internal URLs" in "EZ-Pages" to make migration to the new version easier for upgraded installations. * Updated README_ENGLISH with more detailed installation steps. * Changed the names of folders and moved some files to make installation steps more clear. * Updated the English language file to clarify the usage of "Enter pages to allow rewrite". Bugs Addressed (since the last version) =========================================================== * Added option to disable the EZ-Page cache. * Page not requiring special handling of paramaters will now correctly have the "extension" added to the end of the URL. * Installation cleans up some obsolete configuration options which may still be present when upgrading from a previous version. * New .htaccess sample handles product reviews when "Categories as directories" is enabled. |

New Enhancements (since the last version) ============================================================ * Updated all configuration options to provide better clarity. * Added some additional URL Rewrite modes (including short categories as directories). * New .htaccess sample to support new modes. * Moved the product type code into an init_script to reduce the number of affected core files. * Added the ability to enable the EZ-Pages URL cache. * If the "page" variable contains "index.php?" and "main_page=" the "page variable will be parsed to determine the appropriate destination page and paramaters. You no longer need to edit internal links on EZ-Pages. * The generation of the "cPath" parameter is handled automatically. * Moved all language specific items into the language folder. * Simplified the code used to hook into zen_href_link. * Created installation, upgrade, and removal scripts. These handle automatically upgrading from older versions without the loss of settings (supports upgrading from version 2.150+). * When SEARCH_ENGINE_FRIENDLY_URLS is enabled htmlspecialchars is run over the generated URL with mode and characterset specified (PHP 5.4 compatibility). * Provided affected files for Zen Cart 1.3.9h. Bugs Addressed (since the last version) ============================================================ * Product links on the shopping_cart strip out the uprid to allow rewritten links to work. * "Buy Now" and "Add Selected Products to Cart" on product listing pages will now work. * Fixed some issues with generating the EZ-Pages cache. * Removed obsolete language files. |
