Hi everybody.
I'm using the last version of Zencart (1.3.8a) with SSU plugin (version 3.5.8) and I need to cut the URLs generated by the plugin 'cause products description are too long.
The idea is to cut the urls after the first dot in the description.

For example...
The description is:

Cintura in cuoio lavorata con rivetti e fibbia in goldtone invecchiata.
Presenta il fusto liscio in tre pezzi , cuciti tra loro da rivetti.
Il sostegno della fibbia anch’ esso nella stessa pelle della cintura è fissato a vite dando così la possibilità di una regolazione precisa.

Scheda Tecnica :
Materiale : cuoio
Metalleria : fibbia goldtone invecchiata / rivetti
Colore modello foto : xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Peso : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Larghezza : 4 cm
Lunghezza : XXXXXXXXXXX

The url contains ALL this description.
I need to make visible only "Cintura in cuoio lavorata con rivetti e fibbia in goldtone invecchiata."

Anyone of us knows how to do?

Thanks so much in advance.

Rebe.

P.S. Sorry for my poor english ^^

1. 3.5.8 is rather old, please upgrade (link in my sig)
2. SSU does not use description in producing links, it uses NAMEs.
And you can change admin->configuratin->ssu settings to set the max length or max number of words.

Concerning use of names instead of description I realized that if the product description is

"Cintura in cuoio lavorata con rivetti e fibbia in goldtone invecchiata.
Presenta il fusto liscio in tre pezzi , cuciti tra loro da rivetti.
Il sostegno della fibbia anch’ esso nella stessa pelle della cintura è fissato a vite dando così la possibilità di una regolazione precisa."

the product's url becomes

"http://localhost/.../cinture-cuoio-c-65_66/cintura-in-cuoio-lavorata-con-rivetti-e-fibbia-in-goldtone-invecchiata-br-presenta-il-fusto-liscio-in-tre-pezzi-cuciti-tra-loro-da-rivetti-br-il-sostegno-della-fibbia-anch-esso-nella-stessa-pelle-della-cintura-fissato-a-vite-dando-cos-la-possibilit-di-una-regolazione-precisa-p-180"

I really dont think it uses description. I would recommend upgrading first though, your version is old.

What doesnt work? The link doesnt work?

You have to visit the link, it is not a direct download link.

Hi Yellow - great mod BTW :)

I am trying to get SSU to re-write the product filter URL's, the sceanrio is something like this:

Manufacturer - Paul Smith

Filter Options: T-shirts, Jeans, Jackets

If I select T-Shirts I get a URL like : /paul-smith?sort=20a&filter_id=42

I have tried adding an alias in SSU so that /paul-smith?sort=20a&filter_id=42 becomes /paul-smith-tshirts but SSU ignores it - does this mean I cannot use aliases for this?

Thanks

Tony

If you use the latest versions (version 3.5 and up) you will see that SSU can automatically create such aliases for you.
Assuming that you read the installation and usage note carefully, you should know that you should turn on SSU Auto Alias in the setting in admin/configuration/simple_seo_url to have that feature enabled for you. After you enabled it clear the cache in admin/extras/simple_seo_url_manger. This should fix it the way you want it to look.

I have never tried that before, but have your cleared out the cache after that? And can you post the exact term you put in the alias and in url fields (in the alias manager)?
