Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[creamcrackers]

Hi

How does this compare to Magic SEO URLs?

What are the benefits and drawbacks?

Cant i choose the text for my URL? It mentions that I have to "write my own plugin" to do that, what does that mean?

Thanks

Sorry yes its me again.... also I want to know if i use SSU or Magic SEO..... how do i create a sitemap for my site?? Is there any way to do this? Previously i just had a sitemap.txt and listed all the URLS i wanted to be listed. If i add new products I need to add these to the sitemap.txt file

Also i want to use datafeeds to different shopping sites, which ones will work if i install this... because it changes the urls. Do the feeds send the original or new urls. Because i want to generate page rank by these
thanks

And another one..

In the install instructions

B. if you are NOT using Zencart 1.3.8a, it's safer to not upload includes/functions/html_output.php but to do this: Open your current includes/functions/html_output.php

... the recent June patch for Zen cart (the one everyone should now have) makes a change to the html_output file. So am I right in thinking that id better follow the above instructions instead of overwriting the file... even given that i AM using 1.3.8a!

Thanks!

I just installed SSU on the new site I'm developing and have noticed that the Unsubscribe feature/button doesn't work when I have SSU enabled. When I disable SSU, Unsubscribe button works fine...

I can click the EZ page link I created to my Unsubscribe page and get to the page just fine...the problem is clicking the Unsubscribe button. It should take the unsubscriber to the Login page, but when SSU is enabled, it sits on the Unsubscribe page. When I try to click the Unsubscribe button yet again, I don't leave the page and it adds the word, "action" at the bottom of my Unsubscribe page text.

Anyone have the same issue?

Also...when SSU is enabled, my pages become W3C HTML invalid. When disabled, my pages validate.

This has been mentioned before, and it is indeed easy to fix by simple "encode" the url output. I believe the fix has been posted in this thread, I know this thread is long so perhaps you could wait till next version where the fix is included. Note that this so called "error" will NOT affect your site in anyway, guaranteed!

Gotcha. I did a search within this thread and found my solution on Page 250...

Went to includes/classes/ssu/cores/links.php and replaced this line:

$link .= (strpos($link , '?') ? '&' : '?').$sid;

with this line:

$link = str_replace('&', '&', $link);

(appears right before return $link;)

Now everything appears to validate again.

Hi

So when i install SSU into zencart 1.3.8a I overwrite the html output file... however that file was overwritten by the recent PATCH, the security patch for June 09

Your instructions state I can simply overwrite this file for 1.3.8...
you say


B. if you are NOT using Zencart 1.3.8a, it's safer to not upload includes/functions/html_output.php but to do this: Open your current includes/functions/html_output.php


So.... is that still up to date? Because the recent (June) security patch replaced that file.

So if i just upload over it, am i killing the security patch and making my site insecure??

If i AM using 1.3.8a can i still do it manually by etiting the html output file with

*
find the function zen_href_link
*
find this line:

global $request_type, $session_started, $http_domain, $https_domain;

Insert these lines below that line:

//bof simple seo url
global $ssu;
if(is_object($ssu) && ($link = $ssu->ssu_link($page, $parameters, $connection, $add_session_id, $search_engine_safe, $static, $use_dir_ws_catalog))!= false) return $link;
//eof simple seo url



Thanks!!!

Add it to the Exclude list in admin/configurations/Simple_seo_url Exclude list. See if that will make any difference.

Oh, hey, that worked.

For anyone who needs more specifics:

I went to the end of the exclude list (admin panel/configurations/simple seo url/excluse list), placed a comma directly after the last letter of the last item on the list, and typed unsubscribe directly after the comma to add it to the list.

Thanks a bunch, countrycharm.
