Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]
Version: Alpha 2
Release: un-released
Tested on ZC 1.3.8
Should work on ANY recent ZC version
Goals:
1. Simple SEO URL, create seo url for all ZC pages (unlike other seo packages like Magic SEO)
2. Minimal core file edit (currently need to edit 1 file)
3. Minimal performance penalty
Sample url:
https://www.site.com/checkout_payment.html
http://www.site.com/index/cPath/Pin_Brooch-10/
http://www.site.com/product_info/cPa...piece_set-837/
Drawbacks:
1. no beautiful url such as:
http://www.site.com/bracelet_1.html (for category link)
2. core file edit (1)
Demo:

Re: Simple SEO URL [support thread]
Just finished a brief installation instruction file. This should be easy because the edit is minimal.
Email sent. All feedbacks are appreciated so we can improve the mod.
PS: current version does not support "static" links (links that use file other than index.php). I doubt if any people use it tho.
Also current version does not reflect the category/product new names if they are changed. This will be in the next version (after I receive all the feedbacks and bug reports for this current version)
Re: Simple SEO URL [support thread]
Looks straight forward. I'll install it and let you know how it goes.
Thanks.
Re: Simple SEO URL [support thread]
Alpha 2.1 now available with minor code fixes + change it htaccess to make sure links like this work:
Code:
http://www.site.com/index/cPath/Pin_Brooch-10/?blah1=blah2
Notice the query at the end? This should not happen but just in case that happens, we got that taken care of.
A question from PM:
Quote:
Simple SEO doesn't seem to do anything with the GET form?
Yes, because SearchEngines do not submit forms, also I try to make the code simple and efficient.

Were can I find the new version?
Re: Simple SEO URL [support thread]
Hi,
Just a thought, not sure how you are doing your URL rewriting but it might be worth using $PATH_INFO if you are not already using it. Means that you can have keyworded URLs without using a .htaccess file if mod-rewrite is not enabled. If mod-rewrite is enabled then it means a very simple .htaccess file to give a prettier URL.

Re: Simple SEO URL [support thread]
@CJPinder: the thing is that:
without mod_rewrite a link like this: http://www.site.com/index/cPath/Pin_Brooch-10/ may returns a file not found 404 page.
@jeking: it's just minor bug fix, but if you need I can send it to you. Any problem with the one I sent so far?

Re: Simple SEO URL [support thread]
That will be a bonus feature in a future release, with that "static" links SEO URL will be available as well. For now mod_rewrite is needed and no support for "static" links ^^.
