Ultimate SEO Form POST Method Bug Help

[bouncingltd]

Good Afternoon,

I have installed Ultimate SEO latest version 2.102 on Zencart 1.302, I believe there is a rewrite issue for POSTED forms and I am not familiar enough with modrewrite to alter it. if a person tries to register or login, the form is posted so it would be posted from

http:/<URL>/login.html

and the rewrite rule applied would be

RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ index\.php?main_page=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

at the very end of the .htaccess file provided. but seeing as %{QUERY_STRING} is a $_GET and not a $_POST the data disappears and the information never gets submitted. I have confirmed this by altering the login and create_account templates/ modules to send the form as a GET and this works, so I believe that a one-liner in the modrewrite is need along the lines of

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^POST.*

above the last line with the ignorinf of directories etc, but alas this does not appear to work

Thank you for any help

Philip.

Are you saying customer cannot login or register?

I am wondering if this code have anything to do with it:

    // Ultimate SEO URLs v2.100
    // If the action will affect the cache entries
    if (preg_match("/(insert|update|setflag)/i", $action)) {
        include_once(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'reset_seo_cache.php');
    } 

It's currently missing from /admin/category.php of version 2.102 even though it is step 4 of the installation instruction.

Ignore my last post, it is indeed included in a separate folder. I guess it's time to get some rest. Too many starring at the computer.

Yes with this SEO mod on 1.302 a person cannot log in nor create an account using forms that POST data, I seem to be getting mod_rewritten back to the pages either create_account.html most of the time.

Though I do now suspect that the issue lies deeper in than the mod_rewrite code alone the form is posted with a $_GET string in the action which I suspect is confusing the issue.

I am really not sure what is causing your issue because this have not been reported before and I installed the mod on my test server a few nights ago and I was able to create account, login, checkout etc. without any problem.

Are you using Ultimate SEO Version 2.102 and did you updated the 3 core files with the changes required?

Yes I am using the version available for download via this website, the files were update from the folder 1301-1302-1303-specific-files, rather than the instructions. I could give you a private log on to show the effect on my webserver, since the site is not yet live. I'll have to just reset the form back, because as I stated above, it works with a $_GET but not with a $_POST.

Nope, foolish me, cocked up, I installed Ultimate SEO and the installed Image Handler 2, which overwrote the file

includes/functions/html_output.php

so if anyone else cannot create a new user or log in, then check that html_output.php has the new zen_href_link function supplied in Ultimate SEO. My apologies for wasting anyone's time.

Thank you
