Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[DivaVocals]

Does anyone know how to make SSU work with this mod in 1.39h?

Any help with be much appreciated.

If you had read through this support thread a bit, you'd know that this mod is NOT SUPPORTED or MAINTAINED by ANYONE. The original author has not posted here in YEARS and no longer supports this or any of his/her other Zen Cart mods.

So the answer to this question is that it is UNLIKELY that anyone will ever answer your question unless they have had some level of success getting these two add-ons to work together..

So your options are as follows:

1. Live with dynamic URLs
2. Invest in the services of an outside developer to update SSU for you
3. Find another add-on to replace SSU
   (and if you MUST use one of these class of add-ons, I recommend Ceon URI as it is a much more flexible add-on and doesn't clash with other add-ons. Ceon URI is also better supported, written and maintained than other add-ons like SSU or Ultimate SEO -- sorry that's my opinion)

I'm almost at the stage of cutting my wrists on this thread...

Don't do that..

Not I, although I use Simple SSU on my site here:

Your question is the number one reason NOT to use any url rewritter with zencart: conflict with other mods and zencart upgrades. Speaking of which, I'm sure you'll be upgrading to the new 1.5 zencart soon...right? I doubt there is any further interest in this particular rewriter for anyone to upgrade it for 1.5.

This rewriter is on its way out. And so are our 1.3.9h carts.

This is not a true statement with regards to the Ceon URI mod..

One more thing: re your hopeful mod Dynamic Filter.

I don't know that any free zencart url rewriter writes all pages. Categories and Products, for sure. But after that, it may be hit and miss.

For example:

http://www.fashion-mart.biz/index/manufacturers_id/1 - The mfr is Alyce Paris, my Simple SEO rewriter (yours) doesn't rewrite the manufacturer listing, that great, anyway. Maybe I could enable it in the admin, but won't bother.

http://www.prom-mart.com/zencart-dem...ckard-m-9.html - My 1.5 zencart demo/test site, where Ultimate SEO URL happens to be working. And it is doing better with the manufacturer link.

CEON...I'm not sure, but I'd be surprised if it re-wrote everything.

My point is that it may be possible that your proposed mod will not be re-written by any free url rewriter.

Again, we should forget this Simple SEO and figure out what to do, if anything, with our soon to be 1.5 carts. Rewrite on the new cart, or not rewrite. That is the question.

Well then, my apologies. Or he can sue me.

That Dynamic Filter does look interesting, though. I know Prestashop comes with a built-in filter. I might put it on my 1.5 demo cart to see if Ultimate SEO rewrites it...and if the thing works in general.

Then SURPRISE!!! It can re-write ALL the shop URLs if you wish.. However, if you have further questions with regards to Ceon URIs capabilities, best ask on the Ceon URI support thread..

Well then, my apologies. Or he can sue me.

I'm sure this is at the top of Conor's to-do list..

[SPH]

I'm not interested in it.

I'm not interested in it.

Awesome... but I wasn't trying to convince you.. I was simply making sure that ANYONE reading this thread gets accurate information.. AND to try again to get this thread BACK on topic.. 'tis all

Thanks for your replies, but I cannot afford to change the urls because the website is old and ranks well in the search engines.

The filter mod creates urls that look like
index.php?main_page=index&cPath=x&flt_Size[]=22
With SSU enabled, the url looks like
cat-name-c-xx/flt_Size/Array

I've added this parameter flt_Size in the admin's Set Query Key's Exclude List from the SSU configuration. After that, the urls look like
cat-name-c-xx?flt_Size[0]=22

The problem is this url gives an error:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

I've looked in the logs and the redirect is pointing to:
cat-name-c-xx.

What I was thinking is maybe this redirect can be skipped on category pages where url has "flt" in it. Using preg_match in $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] in class file link.php. Couldn't get it working. Maybe someone else has another idea?

Thanks for reading.
