Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[yellow1912]

To all:

New features of the current version 3.3.0:

http://demo.rubikintegration.com/zencart/en/dvd-movies

http://demo.rubikintegration.com/zencart/en/dvd-movies-action/lethal-weapon

http://demo.rubikintegration.com/zencart/en/promotion

I hope just looking the names appear in the links above explain it all to you already.

But again, remember that non-english letters can be displayed very weird in the url, avoid them,
PS: so what do you think about this link alias?

Yes, I know that I need to avoid it, but when it works it is Great:
please see here (its from google query log):
http://www.google.com/search?hl=ru&c...%D0%B0&spell=1

link number 3, for russian it looks more better like other links

2. Link Alias is very powerful feature. for example, for hebrew very hard to do SSU language plugins (many letters have 2 value, like letter b maybe B or maybe V ) and I was need put all worlds in he.php plugins like:

$hebrew = array("חצאיות", "מכנסיים", "אביזרים", "שמלות", "וו", "יי", "א", "ב", "ג", "ד", "ה", "ו", "ז", "ח", "ט", "י", "ך", "כ",

$translit2 = array("khatzayot", "mehnasaim", "avizarim", "smalot", "v", "ai", "a", "b", "g", "d", "h", "o", "z", "kh", "t", "i", "kh", "k", "l",

and now with Link alias is mush more better
Thank you very much for this great mod.

Hi yellow1912,

WOW, I have been following you with the progress. Now it looks like you found a way to do without the category c-1 and prod p-18 stuff.

Clean URL's. Is this for real?
Looks like it for this item:
http://demo.rubikintegration.com/zen.../lethal-weapon

but not for others like here:

http://demo.rubikintegration.com/zen...e-control-p-18
or
http://demo.rubikintegration.com/zen...ed-linked-p-20

Is this still just a test or is this now a configurable option for each item? Please explain...

@mydanilo: It uses a new feature called link-alias, which has to be set per term.

In the future, a feature to automatically add aliases for product, category,...names will make its way to this contribution.

Basically, all the dirty works have been done already.

For those who are interested in utf8 urls, I found tons of interesting links here:

I hope these help you in one or another way, and if you happen to write such plugin for SSU, dont forget to post it ^_^

To clarify my answer, this link:

http://demo.rubikintegration.com/zencart/en/dvd-movies-action/lethal-weapon

required 2 aliases:
dvd-movies-action-c-3_10 --> dvd-movies-action
lethal-weapon-linked-p-13 --> lethal-weapon

Also note that, once such aliases are set, it affects EVERY LINK that contains such words.

A good example:

http://demo.rubikintegration.com/zencart/en/product_reviews_write/dvd-movies-action/lethal-weapon

I have a couple of products that once clicked are taken to a different sub category, and not to the product page.

I have cleared cache a few times, turned off SSU and checked the product with the regular format and they work fine. When I turn SSU back on and go to the sub cat and click on the product it still redirects to another subcategory, not the product page.

When I go through the cache directories after clearing, the cache directories are clear.

Please post:
1. SSU version
2. Link to that specific product (pm me if you want)
3. your host (who are you hosting with? php version?)

I don't know what in the world I did wrong, but I just installed this mod (again) and the site is completely broken. I go to extras> simple SEO and this is what I see

1062 Duplicate entry 'SSU_FILE_EXTENSION' for key 2
in:
[INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('File extension', 'SSU_FILE_EXTENSION', '', 'Set the file extension you want (without the dot). Recommend: leave it blank. For more info please read the docs', @t4, 1, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, NULL), ('Name delimiter', 'SSU_NAME_DELIMITER', '-', 'Set delimiter to replace all non alpha-numeric characters in product/category names', @t4, 1, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'-\', \'.\'),'), ('ID delimiter', 'SSU_ID_DELIMITER', '-', 'Set delimiter separate product/category names and their ids', @t4, 1, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'-\', \'.\'),');]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Can someone please help me figure out what have I done??
