To fix it you need go to admin->tools->store manager and reset the: Reset ALL Products Master Categories ID

Thanks, worked Xordox perfectly!!

TROUBLESHOOTING: After installing itself, this module writes a file named ".keep" in admin\includes\module_installation, if your server doesnt allow it to do so, it may make the module attempting to install itself everytime. The fix is easy though, just manually create a .keep file there (after the module has already installed itself, of course)

So what your saying is .... RTFM ! :no:

Thanks.

Yellow1912, do you have any update on the alias function of this mod? (on when it will become an active part of the mod).

I look forward to complete control of my URLs... (mostly primary category pages/ information pages/ etc)

I dont know, hopefully within next week I can release an alpha testing at least, just dont expect too much from an alpha testing tho.

Regards

Raine

Thanks Raine for a great add-on that was pretty painless to install.

Runs perfectly out of the box, as per the instructions.

EDIT:

Broke custom side box links.

Hmm, I need to figure out how to fix the custom side box that has links to ez pages and some direct links to downloads. It's probably already discussed here. *searching*

Had to cache it!

For those who waiting for it, link-alias is here.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON YOUR LIVE SITE. IT HAS NOT BEEN FULLY TESTED.

Play with it, have fun with it, test it on your test server, place test order, just do not have it on your live site.

Demo:

Next coming version we will have function to automatically aliasing all category and product names. Hope this helps someone.

Link download: http://public.rubikintegration.com/

Installation: upload, go to extras->ssu manager and enjoy. The module manager should automatically applies the patch for you. Dont forget to go to admin->configuration->ssu to turn link alias on.

BTW, I think I should explain how link-alias feature works, so hopefully some of you can give me suggestions to improve it:

Right now it's really basic, we have an array like this
link1 --> alias1
link2 --> alias2
.....
(note that link doesnt have to be the whole link, it can be just part of the link)
So we loop thru the whole array and attempt to replace each pair if there is a match.Not very efficient.


This works great if the number of aliases is not so much, maybe like 10-100. But if you want to have like 1000+ aliases, we are in big trouble, because we have to run through any array of 1000+ elements. This is giving me a headache.

PS: the new version for this feature is posted in the previous page, just in case you missed it.

Nice work ... will try it out in a test site.

For the other version , has minimum word length stopped working ?
I have set mine to '4' , so that the word 'and' would get dropped.

this doen't seem to work anymore.

Originally my 'and' in category names was an escaped ampersand , and I noticed it was showing in the URL as the example below :-

bread-amp%3B-butter

it does not stop the mod from working , but would like to know if I can tidy the URL anymore ?

Thanks again.
