Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[excalibur]

great mod but am having troubles, not sure if I missed it but I have read this thread for ages now, I have zen 1.3.8a with latest security patch and have the latest sse from eazy-templates.com as of 31/7/09. The problem I am having is that if anything is added to the cart that has attributes attached then it cant be deleted from cart, but if the product is atrributeless it can. turn the mod off and the cart delete works fine. Everything else is working? Any ideas as my head is hurting now :)

You are using an older version with that specific bug, download new version from here:
http://eazy-templates.com/web-templa...simple-seo-url

(the module is FREE, just add to cart and checkout, you dont have to pay anything)

Thats the one I was using but I re-downloaded it to be sure, followed the instructions and upgraded but still have same problem, so I uninstalled it all, re-installed and still exactly the same. If the product has download attributes then it can't be removed from the cart.

Ah, you meant remove to cart. Yes, the quickest way to fix this is to go to the admin config of ssu and put shopping_cart in the page exclude list.

Reason: products with attributes in them have this type of id: 12:assadwqde213321dsada

SSU encrypts the : and then Zencart could not understand it.
Better Solution: decrypt the :
This solution will be added to the new version within a few days

That sorted it it, thanks for all your help and the hard work in coding it.

Thanks I spent quite a while on that.

It appears that Simple SEO URL will not work unless you first install a mod called Module Manager http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=936 . However, Module Manager says: THIS IS ALPHA CODE ... USE AT OWN RISK .
So apparently even before I can try to start down the difficult path of installing Simple SEO URL and getting it to work without ruining my zencart, I have to take what is apparently serious but ill-defined risks. What are the risks?

How much time is involved in getting Simple SEO URL working properly? The Readme.txt file in the file downloaded here make the extremely overly optimistic claim that it only takes 15-20 minutes!

Any comments will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Zencart is also a "use at your own risk" software.

Any FREE software is "use at your own risk" Obviously you cant sue us for softwares that you dont pay for.

The module usually takes me 5-10 mins to upload(lots of file there). The sql installation is automatic. There is no manual "edit" except for the .htaccess with the content suggested in yoursite.com/ssu_check.php so it is copye&paste process. Then you just have to go to Admin->SSU configuration to turn on the features you want and then turn on SSU.

Usually it would take more on your first try (you have to read the notes etc). But then if you ever have the chance to install it on the 2nd store it takes less than 20mins (if you have a fast connection like me, 5 mins is all it takes).

Hello,

You sound a bit rude in your post. Some one put there time and effort to bring this module to you use for your cart, for free at that. If you don't like how something sounds in there wording then don't use it. No need for sarcasm.

Can you do any better?? If so make it and put it out there.

Depending on how skilled you are it actually on take, at least for me 5 - 10 minutes, including backup of my DB and appropriate files.

Module manager works fine and has not caused any problems on any of my sites. You will also find that the module manager is used with many other modules that you may encounter.

Yellow1912, you are quite right when you say, "Zencart is also a use at your own risk software." However, I would not be using zen-cart if it were "Alpha Code." Zen-cart is stable. Stable refers to a version of software that is substantially identical to a version that has been through enough real-world testing to reasonably assume there are no significant problems, or at least that any problems are known and documented. The alpha build of the software is the build to the internal software testers, that is, people different from the software engineers, sometimes to the public, but usually internal to the organization or community that develops the software.

Is this software "Alpha code" or is it stable?

Thanks again.
