Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[VicAvendano]

What you can do, is to try replacing all & by & using str_replace at the end of the function ssu_link in that same file, something like this
$link = str_replace('&', '&', $link);

Do it right before
return $link;

Just a note, I have not checked it yet, so use t your own risk. I will look into this issue more carefully in the next version.

Hi, I have been working to get my pages validated, I browsed through the forums and found this solution to fix the unescaped ampersand issue in urls. I applied the change above, and the pages validate now. However when I go to a page that has parameters in the url (such as filter_id) it writes the escaped version of the ampersand in the address bar of the browser. (www.site.com/category/?sort=20a&filter_id=34). The pages still work fine and validate, but I would like the escaped version to be in the links within the html, not in the browser url bar. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

zen cart: 1.3.8.a
ssu: 3.7.1

Im still trying to get my pages validated... is this being worked on at all for future versions? The fix mentioned ends up writing "&" in the browser's url box with the fix mentioned above...

First I would like to thank yellow1912 for a smashing module. Excellent work. I installed ssu v3.5.8 on php5, zc 1.3.8 with no problems, apart from not entering .HTAccess properly first time. Once I corrected this, everything was fine.

However, when I turned on Link Alias and then Auto Alias, my URLs did transform into beautifully short addresses after refreshing cache - but upon signing out my login page address disappeared, I could not sign back in because the address I have for ADMIN/login.php returns a 404 page not found error.

Do you haveany idea what I have done wrong?
I need a quick fix for this as being locked out is bad for my heart, lol.

Hi Yellow, I think I finally got the mod to work and validate pages... I applied the fix to the ssu_link() function that replaces "&" with &". Then what I had to do was edit the postParseURL(). I set it to revert all cases of "&" to "&" on $regenerated_link, and now it all seems to be working fine. I hope that can help someone else as well, or for it to be implemented in the next version. I can go back to loving this mod again lol
