Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

I want to remove the /category-c-1_2/ portion from the url, and I am having a tough time locating how SSU builds the URLs.

apj_apj, did you run across the URL build function when looking at the files for http/https?

With USU, I didn't have to worry, IIRC (or maybe it was an easy hack). The advantages are that any product in more than one category shows up on all other pages using the same URL and it is so much cleaner.

If you have not already, make sure you have Set Link Alias Status to true in admin/configuration/seo and Set Auto Alias Status to true. Clear your cache and that should take care of the c-1_2/ portion from the url.

Okay, good to know. However, I take it from your wording that these steps will not remove category keywords. Is that correct?

It will look something like this for categories http://www.your.com/christmas-decor-sale
I'm giving you example of what it looks for mine.

Thanks, cc, but what I am trying to do with my product URLs is get from:

my.com/category-keywords-c-1-4/product-widget-black-p-2340.html

to:

my.com/product-widget-black-p-2340.html

Will aliasing removing the category keywords and codes?

Hi guys,

i followed instructions and now all my (nicley re-written) links direct users to the root.

Using IIS6 and isapi rewrite 3. .htaccess is working but every link now redirects to the homepage. Please see attachement for ssu check results.

how do i trouble shoot it?

I am using the latest module manager and (18 i think) and ssu

any help will be appreciated!

I'm having a problem with EZ Pages when I try to save the page I created I receive a page not found error!

Also If I access the internal link directly it works fine but when the URL has zenid= ... added to it, the error appears again!

Page Not Found
Page Not Found

The page you are trying to access has been moved or it is deleted ...

but if everything from zenid= is removed it works again ...
may be a configuration parameter I am missing?

sorry here is the attachment


i had another thought. where am i meant to put the htacess file?

in the store root?
teststore/.htaccess

or the web server root?
/.htaccess

any thoughts? how else can I troubleshoot this hompage linking error

Go to admin/extras/Simple SEO URL manger/Alias Functions Manage Aliases and set it like you want it to look.

Some of my URLS are now displaying the weird c_xxx in the URLS after wiping out my cache last night:

http://www.kids-n-cribs.com/bob-stro...uallie-c-85_87

Before, the URL was like this:

http://www.kids-n-cribs.com/bob-stro...lution-duallie

Similarly, one like this:

http://www.kids-n-cribs.com/bob-stro...-duallie-p-386

Used to be:

http://www.kids-n-cribs.com/bob-stro...lution-duallie

Any ideas why clearing the cache would have changed these?

Thanks!
