Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[philip937]

Hi
I just came accross a tool in Google Webmaster Tools that lets me set the site so that Google ignores certain parameters to avoid duplicate content.

To get to this tool log into Google webmaster tools, go to site configuration and then parameter handling.

So im trying to get google to igore the parameters that are still not taken out by SSU

Ive set Google to ignore

cPath
products_id
alpha_filter_id (whats that?)
language
keywords (used when people search the site i assume)
pID
id
zenid
Zenid

Does that sound OK? Have i missed anything?

Fingers crossed this might help my rankings... google says not to worry about dulicate content but many webmasters dont believe it

Thanks!

Did this ever work out for you? I have done the same,but wasn't sure to select ignore or dont ignore.. I selected Ignore as i assume its saying ignore main_page and only look at / ?

I tried to install version 2.9.6 on Zencart 1.3.8 with PHP4.
Wenn I go to extas - bOX_SSU I get the following message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /var/www/vhosts/centrumgaia.nl/httpdocs/shop/includes/classes/ssu/languages/default.php on line 5

What goes wrong?

[NickP]

Solved!

In the folder with the default.php there is als a file named default.php4 and languages.php4.
Renamed both these files to default.php and languages.php (old file renamed to .old.

Do I also have to rename the file shop/includes/init_includes/init_ssu.php4?

Well I have now tested ssu after trying to fix the previous problem....

And it dont work?

I am not sure if its a mod_rewrite problem or a php problem????

My guess is it is problem with dereferencing pointer in the array breaking code for urls in php, maybe array splitting delimiter?..
or a configuration problem in apache.??????


I AM NOT A PHP PROGRAMMER SO THIS IS PROBABLY TOTALLY WRONG?

The symptoms are that the links look wrong (compared with earlier working versions), example as follows.....:
I have an initial category "parts" (id 67) and various products in it one example being "screws"

without ssu the link to parts category would be:
index.php?main_page=index&cPath=67

when ssu is enabled the link becomes:
cPath/67

normally the link should become:
parts-c-67

The server details are as follows:

absolutly stock version of XAMPP for Linux 1.7.3a, 2010/1/10
running on dsl.
(that is php5.3.1, apache2.2.14, mysql5.1.41)

I think this problem also occurs on on stock installation of centos5.3.....

But this problem does not occur on my hosting providers servers which run centos5.0 with php5.1.6


Anyone have any suggestions??????
