Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[zoom1]

Sorry and another question..

How can i uninstall SSU and the Module manager.

There are no uninstall sql files for either!

Thanks

[edwardtilbury]

There's an uninstall on the rubik(sp)? integration website wiki for Simple SEO urls..

But for Module Manager, I'm not sure..
MM makes a new table I think it's module_versions or something like that...

Simple SEO makes on too, but I think the name is in the wiki..

Also dont forget about your output_html.php , to overwrite it with the correct one from the recent ZC update.

Hi
I have installed SSU and have noticed a significant drop in conversions.

I am using PayPal


I am using the latest version of SSU and have PHP5.



Are there any issues with PayPal IPN module - the one that comes bundled with ZC.

If so can you advise how to fix this.

I cant find any problems myself, ive gone through checkout and it seems to be working but when i turn OFF SSU i get more conversions (as a percentage of visitors who come to my site)

Thanks

Perhaps you are using an older version? :) Note that the version you get on zen download page is not current. Older version may or may not have problem with Paypal IPN, Im not sure since it's too far away in the past already. Current version is 3.7.1

We have been using current SSU version on our own site and notice increase over time on search engine visit. We notice no change regarding the conversion rate during the checkout process, however (no up or down). This is pretty logical because unless the checkout process is broken, the difference of the checkout links should not affect the conversion rate much.

I changed my config files for both to read
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/var/www/html/cache/ssu');
-> no this is wrong

If you see redirection loop, perhaps you created multiple aliases that conflicting each other. The best way to resolve is to go to the alias manager and delete all the aliases. The clear all cache and let SSU re-create the aliases automatically for you.

Hi Yellow...

I have followed the instructions... but i dont know if i have followed them right.

I changed my config files for both to read
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/var/www/html/cache/ssu');

I this right or WORNG and BAD and EVIL? eitherway it caused alias to work.. but only for pages i set before an alias too before changing the config files. Aliases i created after this change did not take effect. Also any new catagories and products i created didnt appear in Admin>Extras> SSU mrg for me to assign aliases too.

so i set both config back to
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/var/www/html/cache/');

and ALL aliases that did work vanished.


so i then went to Admin>Configuration>SSU
Set Auto Alias Status = Ture

then the aliases i created earlier started to work! woohoo i thought

so i created a few more new products... went to Admin>Extra>SSU Mrg.. set the alias etc..

and now i get this on all new aliases set

You can only have either 1 or 2. If you decide to remove -3, it will also remove -c-, you just have to turn on auto alias as advised by another member of the forum.
Note that you will have to clear SSU cache after making that change in the configuration.

Ok, here's how to get around the cPath=0 problem.. View all the top level category on a define_page_2

When this doesn't work in SSU
http://www.website.com/index.php?mai...=index&cPath=0

You can use this instead..

It won't look super pretty, but maybe it's easy to change..
http://www.website.com/page_2

Basically all we're doing is displaying the top level categories on another page.




Documentation:

1.) Below is the file(tpl_topcategories_default.php) that needs to be put in 'includes/templates/template_default(or your custom template directory)/templates/' folder

2.) A blank folder needs to be created & named: "topcategories" in "includes/modules/pages/"

3. Make this file, code is below '/includes/templates/classic/templates/tpl_page_2_default.php'


create: tpl_topcategories_default.php

You can create an alias for page 2, name it anything you like using link alias manager.

ok, perfect thanks

BTW feel free to cut and paste my previous post code... I have a feeling it will get buried on this forum, but it was on your site it might be easier for others to find.

I got the module install error message too but I found this thread (glad I did), now installed module manager and ssu is working fine, thanks yellow, great addition :)
