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

[lhungil]

Got nothing. Followed your instructions and nothing is being written to the designated php error file.

For anyone else who runs into a similiar situation (catalog can be accessed; blank admin) when attempting to run the installation, no debug logs, and no server / PHP error logs... Double check all of the paths inside "/admin/includes/configure.php". After some further debugging, the cause was determined to be a broken / invalid path specified in "/admin/includes/configure.php". Correcting the path remedied the situation.

[08-May-2015 16:39:06 Europe/Rome] PHP Fatal error: Class 'SEO_URL' not found.

What version did you install? Did you upload all file from "new_files" (including "empty" files and overwriting any files already existing)? If this was an upgrade from a very old version of Ultimate URLs (pre 2.150), did you uninstall the old version first?

Thanks,

I've installed the latest version and was a new installation, previously I was using the Simple SEO URL mod, I've removed all the files of the ultimate SEO mod from my root, and tried to rewrite the html_output files of the admin side with the original Zen Cart 1.51 but nothing.

Class 'SEO_URL' is not part of Ultimate URLs. Suggest making sure Simple SEO URLs has been completely removed if you had it previously installed.

I've removed one by one all simple seo files (that were still on server) but didn't change anything: always blank page

I really cannot figure it out, it all begun as I tried to install Ultimate SEO

[Marco Serge]

Ok, finally I've figured it out!! ^^

there was a file into the admin/auto_loader folder config seo.php, I had deleted it at first (before posting here) but with no results, but after totally remove any sign of Simple SEO and Ultimate SEO (into the Database Too) the deleting of this file finally worked!

I would really thank you lhungil, for all the help you provide and all the time you dedicated to me. Thanks, really.

My site generates seo links for categories and products etc as expected; but it does not generate (alternative URLs)...

If you are referring to the "manufacturers sidebox" included with Zen Cart... I know older versions of Zen Cart had not yet updated the code to use zen_href_link in the sidebox (all internal links should use zen_href_link)... And alternative URLs only work when zen_href_link is used...

If the above is still the case for the version of Zen Cart you have installed... May need to use a different "manufacturers sidebox" or change the coding...

Alternately, one can enable "automatic redirects". When this setting is enabled, Ultimate URLs will issue a 301 redirect if the requested URI does not match the canonical.

So in the case where the request is for "?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=19" and the canonical for the page is "anyname-m-19", a 301 redirect would be issued. Not as good of a solution as fixing the code failing to utilize zen_href_link, but should work.

Thank you very much. Your explanation helped me to find and fix the problem using the code below.

href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'manufacturers_id='.$manufacturers_id); ?>"

I am working with a new installation of 1.5.4, with winchester responsive templates.
I just installed the latest version of Ultimate SEO URLS (2.215).
I am seeing an issue with the built-in manufacturers sidebox, which displays a pulldown list of all the manufacturers, and when you choose one of the manufacturers, it submits a form, and goes to that manufacturers page. With SEO URLS installed and turned on, it is going to:

?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=2

All the other pages are generating appropriate seo urls.

I searched through this thread, and found a report of a similar issue, and the response was:

Like I said, I am using the built-in 1.5.4 manufacturers sidebox, so presumably it should be updated with the latest code.

I saw this later response, where someone said that they were able to fix this problem:

Thank you very much. Your explanation helped me to find and fix the problem using the code below.

href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'manufacturers_id='.$manufacturers_id); ?>"

However, I'm not sure if they were referring to the same sidebox module.
The sidebox module template file I am referring to is in

includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_manufacturers_select.php

It doesn't contain just a link, but a form that gets submitted when you choose one of the manufacturers in the list.
Here is the contents of the sidebox template file:

<?php
/**
 * Side Box Template
 *
 * @package templateSystem
 * @copyright Copyright 2003-2010 Zen Cart Development Team
 * @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce
 * @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0
 * @version $Id: tpl_manufacturers_select.php 15882 2010-04-11 16:37:54Z wilt $
 */
  $content = "";
  $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent centeredContent">';
  $content.= zen_draw_form('manufacturers_form', zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT,
'', $request_type, false), 'get');
  $content .= zen_draw_hidden_field('main_page', FILENAME_DEFAULT);
  $content .= zen_draw_pull_down_menu('manufacturers_id', $manufacturer_sidebox_array, (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id']) ? $_GET['manufacturers_id'] : ''), 'onchange="this.form.submit();" size="' . MAX_MANUFACTURERS_LIST . '" style="width:
90%; margin: auto;"') . zen_hide_session_id();
  $content .= '</form>';
  $content .= '</div>';
?>

It does appear not to have been modified since 2010.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this issue? I apologize if I missed a post on this, but I tried to do a very thorough search on this.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I have triple checked all of my install files and everything seems to be right but I am getting the following messages... can anyone help or shed light on to what might possibly be wrong? the X's are replacing my admin section and user name...
