Ultimate SEO v3 (and v2.200) [Support Thread]

I am using zencart1.55F version
I installed it
Ultimate SEO URLs - Version: 2.216
I turned on the pseudo-static feature, and the front end of the website shows dynamic links.

The environment I used when installing zencart locally is php+Nginx，
But the environment I use on my server is PHP+Apache.
After I moved the program to the server, the pseudo-static function still did not take effect.
I opened the error debugging, the website front desk did not prompt how to error.
very urgent

Attachment 18568

The current version of USU is v3.0.1 (with a v3.0.2 pending). Versions 3.0.0 and later have no core-file changes (the plugin just "drops into" your store's file-system).

I've just submitted v3.0.2 of USU to the plugin moderators for review and will post back here once it's available for download.

This release contains changes associated with the following GitHub issues:


#22: Correct PHP warnings and notices.
#23: Correct over-sanitization of the 'PCRE Filter Rules'.
#24: 'Reset USU Cache' not honored (or reset in the configuration).

ideally your development environment should closely mirror your production environment.

serving up pages with nginx on one, and apache on the other is nowhere close to that ideal environment and one where i see numerous potential problems down the line. such as the one you are experiencing here.

I have a question which hopefully can be answered.

We love the Ultimate URL module and have been using it for years. However, the default Product Page format seems to be something like this:

www.domainname.com/name-of-page-p-1234.html

However, we would like to only display the product ID in this simplified format:

www.domainname.com/1234

Can someone explain what line(s) I would have to add or modify in the .htaccess file to do this? Or would that break the core functionality of the Ultimate URL module?

@Jeff_Mash, how do you envision the URL when a view of a products' listing is requested? Having only the products_id, as identified above, to specify the display of a product's details leaves nothing to distinguish a products_id from a categories_id.

There would be a fair amount of change in USU, most if not all within /includes/classes/usu.php, to accomplish what you desire. Look at how the reg_anchors variable (defined in the constructor) is used. That's what ties the supplied URL to a determinable page within the Zen Cart structure.

That's a good point. I didn't consider what could distinguish the category from the product. I was only thinking that perhaps it was the .htaccess file which would know what the original URL was (with category or product id) and then spit out the formatted URL for better SEO rankings.

We notice a lot of our competitors have very short URLS, which only reference a product id number (no file name, no extension) after the domain name. So I was thinking it might be a simple change in the htaccess to display the URL in that kind of format. We certainly don't want to break anything though by messing with things if it involves changing the USU class.
