Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[hitch]

You can decide to manually add each of these pages to the exclude list (admin -> configuration -> Simple SEO URL -> exclude list). Personally I decided to modify the function ssu_params in includes/init_includes/init_ssu.php this way:

Thanks to $only_products_id and $both_id, we can process the links referring to pages which are not product or category pages, but whose URL contain category or product identifiers (like tell_a_friend and product_reviews_write).
If you want to use this solution, you can cut and paste the code, overwrite init_ssu.php with the file in attachment, or use the patch with the command "patch -p0 < init_ssu.patch".
Of course this is provided without any warranty and should be tested before using it on your Zen Cart shop (in your case it seems you already use a test shop, though).

I had not proposed yet these modifications as I was not sure everyone met this problem.

To hunt dead or broken links on a website, you can use lynx (lynx -accept_all_cookies -traversal -crawl -realm PATH_TO_YOUR_LOCAL_WEBSITE) or Xenu (wich unfortunately only has a Windows version but it works fine with wine). Of course it is best to use it on your own PC or local network as it consumes A LOT of bandwith.

Hope this helps,

For anyone else with the same linking problem as me this worked like a treat. thanks FMB!
