Simple SEO URLs for ZC 1.5.x [Support Thread]

[tom97zr2]

I still get error message Log anytime I try to access an old web page from before I installed Zen Cart, and some of these logs are for web pages where nobody should be able to find them, except for search engines crawling all these other pages in my root folder. and this would explain why I don't get all these error messages logs on my test site. So I'm thinking about using a rewrite rule root/includes what do you think about that? That should work

Ok so here is what is going on and how to fix it. If somehow someone or something goes to a mysite.com/directory/index.html link I used before Zencart, i get the error log, but if I add a rewrite cond RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/directory.* [NC] to my .htaccess file, then I don't get the error log, also then it will use the setting I have in my hosting account control panel to redirect all 404 errors to my home page (or what ever link/page I want) if I remove the directory or file and someone finds the old link somewhere. I also added RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(html|jpg|png|gif|ico|txt)$ [NC] .

Some of these error logs I don't understand why I get them, they are for tpl_phpMyAdmin_default.php , tpl_pma_default.php and tpl_myadmin_default.php , I get these 3 error logs at the same exact time, and I don't get these right when I access my phpMyAdmin from my hosting account control panel, and myadmin is not the name of my admin.

I can also prevent many of these error logs by adding a empty blank file with these file names in the templates folder, as mentioned above, I did this for the ones that were happening all the time like the faviconico error log.

Here is the .htaccess file code below I'm using in my site's root folder:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "zencart" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase /
#RewriteBase /zencart/
RewriteBase /

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(html|jpg|png|gif|ico|txt)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/directory.* [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L,PT]

Thank you for updating this module.

However I implore you please upload the latest version to the plugins section. I just wasted an hour of my time auditing your old version.

I am completely new to Zen Cart (I've used Opencart for years) and I really don't understand the installation readme file.

I. HOW TO INSTALL

1. Upload all folders/files from zencart_files/ to destination folder on your server.
2. Open .htaccess and change it (you can see an example in it)

II. HOW TO USE

1. Go to Configuration - Simple SEO URLs and enable it.

- I have uploaded the files from the zencart_files folder to the server and selected to merge the folders.
- What do I need to change in the htaccess file and where is the file?
- Simple SEO URLs is not in my Configuration menu.

Do I need to do something with the simple_seo_url.sql file that is included? Like I said I've used Opencart for years so I'm not a total clueless newbie but I can't find any instructions on how to install this and It's driving me nuts!

Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Ty

Has the latest version of this mod been tested with zen-cart v1.5.3?

[llynix]

I did a quick look through the code and noticed that the file:
includes/functions/html_output.php

Seems to be based off an older version from 1.5.0. This file needs to be updated for 1.5.3.

Will this module generate urls in batch automatically or with an action from admin when product is imported with easy populate?
Or does it require each page to be manually generated like the Ceon module?
Thanks for keeping this module up to date.

While I don't have a specific answer to your question, I offer a correction to the second statement, in that it is possible for urls to be generated for the CEON module without loading each page (ie. via EasyPopulate) So that comparison is not necessarily accurately written.

Does this work with 1.5.4?
