I am currently using Ultimate Seo for that last year. Would this affect my website in search engines if I switch to this mod?
Does this rewrite the ezpage url (hopefully it does)?

Yes you can, try adding them under RewriteEngine On

Hi
Sorry a another question

My .htaccess looks like this now

#### BOF SSU
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 /

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

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU



But I also want to rewrite some other links... I used to have my cart in a different folder /catalog/... but now its in the root directory.

There are some people still linking to my old site so I want to rewite the links coming in... they are

/index.php?ref=lately
/index.htm
/catalog/create_account.php
/catalog/index.php?ref=16&affiliate_banner_id=8
/catalog/specials.php
/delivery.htm
/index.php?ref=thaishop4you
/thai_florists_other.htm


so i need to rewrite the /catalog/ folder to the root folder and also reqrite /delivery.htm and /thai_florists_other.htm to a couple of my ezypages.

How can i add these to my .htaccess without messing up what is needed for SSU

Thanks

It does, but I do NOT recommend switching because the 2 link types are different (especially if you use the suffix such as "html" in the links)

Hi
Sorry i didnt mean to sound rude.
What I meant was youve obviously done a lot, put in a LOT of work for this which is great and you have one of the best contributions. But the docs fall short and dont explain what to do when its all installed and pros and cons of different settings you have to trawl through 300 pages of peoples questions when a couple of pages of well written docs or Q&A would answer most of those.

Thank you very much for this contribution and I am very grateful for it

I will try adding Q&A :)

Hi,

I installed Simple SEO URL and it seems to be working, the only problem is that the pages for products are not styled because the pages are not correctly referencing the CSS files. I figured out that it is doing this because the relative path to the stylesheets are now incorrect because of the module adding another directory for the category - here's an example:

http://primealternatives.com.au/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=77

becomes:

http://primealternatives.com.au/cart/categories_name-c-4/prime-electric-treatment-table-p-77

So the new directory ('/categories_name-c-4') is causing the product pages to reference the incorrect path for the CSS files.
Other people seem to have experienced this problem, but searching this long thread, I can't seem to find a solution. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

Thanks

Your template is missing the base href in the header

yellow1912, you just resolved my problem.

The person who set up Zen Cart (my predecessor) had commented out the line...

<base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG : HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG ); ?>" />

...in the html_header.php file. Do you know why he would have done that? He didn't leave any comments.

Anyway, thanks for your help. Now I can see how excellent your add on is. Very good work.
