Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[Qwert302]

Just installed this mod, now when I add products to the cart it says my cart is empty

http://www.rothsound.com

Is there an FAQ anywhere associated with this?

It might help if zen carts search system for these forums wasn't awful and actually gave a page number for results instead of just the thread.

Anyway, thanks.

There is a doc file in this package. Anyhow, it seems like you have not set your .htaccess correctly. If you need help with that, post the content of the htaccess here

Regards

Ok everybody, on the subject of SEO, I suggest adding 301 redirects to avoid canonical problems (www. vs. non-www)

Add this to the bottom of the .htaccess that yellow gives you

#RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.php#
#RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ http://www.yoursite.com$1 [R=301,L]#

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com$1 [R=301,L]

And add this to the admin .htaccess

RewriteEngine off

Yellow I would suggest incorporating this into the code of your mod since it really is important to SEO.

This way any links that go to yoursite.com or yoursite.com/index.php will be redirected to www.yoursite.com, and you will gain more pagerank as a result.

Now you can set it up for www.yoursite.com to go to yoursite.com, and there are mixed views on which is better, all I know is that with ZC www. seems to work better.

Contact me with any questions.

A good suggestion, however I assume some people may have it already in place, so include them in the module may have an unexpected effect. I will have them in place, commented out, so that people can use if they want.

Thank you.

Ok, just hit my first bump in the road.

I am using Image Handler II, a very popular add-on. When I click on the extra images on the product page that would normally open a separate window with a larger version of that image, no image appears in the popup. There is documentation for a similar problem with regards to another mod in the documentation, but I can't seem to adapt it to Image Handler II. The documentation suggest swapping out a JS file, but that doesn't match the structure of how Image Handler II is set up.

Sample Racquetball Equipment Page

The interesting part is that if you click on the main image it pops up fine. I can't imagine I'm the only one running SSU with IH2?

Thanks for any input.

OMG! Old links to my products still work!!!

Can't say it enough, this mod is sweet. Yellow is amazing.

I just need to get my additional images large pop-up to work and I'll be golden. When I view the page source it says <img src "images"> instead of what the actual image source should be.

Ok, that was related to my .htaccess, but now that I've put in the new one I'm getting server errors whenever I click on a category?

Ok, it might have something to do with my php.ini file. I had to make changes to it before but can't remember exactly what I did. I'll keep playing with it.
