Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[ckosloff]

If you download the latest version of this module 1-2 previous pages you will see that it fully explains the fix and also include a patch file that can be used.

Anyway, short answer: that module creates a new page, and that page was missing a very important component that should always exist, the basehref

Yellow,
All right! Tried your patch file and works like a charm both in IE and FF.
Tried it in custom folder too, works.
Added </base> tag for eventual compatibility with IE6, works.
Modified path in attributes.php, works. Much better syntax.
Good job!
I will give a shot at rewriting that mod so these issues will be solved from now on.
Now, one more question, please.
Why was the test site working in FF and completely off in IE?
I couldn't get that from the patch...
Thanks.

I missed a closing tag when I made the change on your test server

So I might assume that FF was more forgiving on that typo than IE, right?

I don't have a question, so much as a comment, here. I installed Simple SEO (with the help of yellow!) and tried really hard to optimize my site for SEO... I've just checked my page ranking on Google and Yahoo and the results are really promising. On Yahoo, I've moved from page 7 or so to page 1. And on google, from page 11 to the top of page 3.

In otherwords, THANKS for this mod! Not only does my site look cleaner in the browser bar, I'm gaining momentum on the search engines.

So, thanks again. I really appreciate it.

Glad it works out for you. Remember everyone, seo url is just a tiny part of the whole game, you need to do a lot more (which I believe cleverpork did) to win this game.


Anyway, a new version coming out here, do NOT use it on your live site, play with it on your test site, test many things including paypal ipn etc.... Any error/problem found should be reported here so I can fix it before we release the stable version.


added docs/PAYPAL_IPN.txt
added support for manufacturer names
fixed short words removal

yellow,
I have submitted for review an updated version of the Attribute Popup Large Images contrib.
Of course, I am giving you credit for the fix.
I am saying this so you won't need to include the PATCH folder in your stable version.
Will test your beta versions on local site until we get the stable and go live.
Thanks.

I made the init.ssu.php change but I am still getting a 400 error when I try clicking on "write review" or "tell a friend" buttons.

The review button tries to create this URL: http://www.mydomain/cart/product_rev...ers-scrubs-c-8

and the Tell a Friend button tries to create this URL:

http://www.mydomain.com/cart/tell_a_friend/%s

Is there a common fix for this? I really appreciate any guidance.
