Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[yellow1912]

Thanks for your help --

I do have almost everything working, except for one category on my site. All the other category links work, as well as contact us, etc., but when I click on the one category I get the following error:



Any ideas?

Can you post the exact link to the category that has the error here?

Tnx yellow1912 for the quick reply,
regarding that SSU can automatically create such aliases for me. i have Beta 3.5.7 and i am assuming everything works fine, i wanted to provide 2 products from my category and how their URL looks like so that i can ask u if that's the automatic conversion that you mentioned earlier.
Product 1:
when SSU set to false:
index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=26&products_id=23
SSU status true:
necklaces/amber-line-n-1-p-23

Product 2:
SSU status set to false:
index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=26&products_id=24
SSU stautus true:
necklaces/amber-line-n-2-p-24

Amber line n1 and amber line n2 are part of the names, the only addition that SSU didnt get rid of is p-23 and p-24, and i was wondering if SSU is automatically supposed to get rid of them also, since i have SSU the latest version uploaded to the server,
i have attached a pic of the admin page settings for SEO just in case my parameters are not appropriate,
Tnx a lot for your help again,
Joe

Assuming that you read the installation and usage note carefully, you should know that you should turn on SSU Auto Alias in the setting to have that feature enabled for you.

Weber asked me a question, which I believe might be of interest others, so I posted it here.

Situation: "I have SSU installed on my zen cart 1.38a, but don't know why my site was unable to be even listed by google... this is just out of my knowlege...SSU 3.5.7 then upgrade to 3.6.7"


Problem: when I visit the site, I see this in the header:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow, archive" />

Obviously this tells google to NOT index the site. And surely this has nothing to do with SSU or any SEO module. Whoever coded the template is responsible for that. If your site is not indexed by google for a long while, go to your site, right click on the page the choose to view "source code" and see if you find your metatag telling google to not index your site

There's a bug in v1.3.8 which only shows when you have Categories set to "Always Show on Main Page = 1"

Had the same problem myself, and never even knew I had a problem until I stumbled upon this thread with the solution:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87093

Nothing to do with Simple SEO btw.


Before I forget, Spanish transliteration working perfectly now, I am so pleased with this mod, thnx a bunch Yellow1912!

Tnx yellow1912 for your help, greatly appreciated,
since i have SSU auto set to true and already cleared all the cache, is there a newer version of SEO than the Beta 3.5.7 i currently have that i downloaded a few days ago, maybe an existing upgrade will do the trick, otherwise i will spend a weekend to manually change all my products aliases,
Thanks again yellow1912 for your patience,
Joe

Joe, 3.5.7 is rather old. Get the latest from http://eazy-templates.com/web-templa...simple-seo-url

Hi everybody.
I'm using the last version of Zencart (1.3.8a) with SSU plugin (version 3.5.8) and I need to cut the URLs generated by the plugin 'cause products description are too long.
The idea is to cut the urls after the first dot in the description.

For example...
The description is:

Cintura in cuoio lavorata con rivetti e fibbia in goldtone invecchiata.
Presenta il fusto liscio in tre pezzi , cuciti tra loro da rivetti.
Il sostegno della fibbia anch’ esso nella stessa pelle della cintura è fissato a vite dando così la possibilità di una regolazione precisa.

Scheda Tecnica :
Materiale : cuoio
Metalleria : fibbia goldtone invecchiata / rivetti
Colore modello foto : xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Peso : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Larghezza : 4 cm
Lunghezza : XXXXXXXXXXX

The url contains ALL this description.
I need to make visible only "Cintura in cuoio lavorata con rivetti e fibbia in goldtone invecchiata."

Anyone of us knows how to do?

Thanks so much in advance.

Rebe.

P.S. Sorry for my poor english ^^

1. 3.5.8 is rather old, please upgrade (link in my sig)
2. SSU does not use description in producing links, it uses NAMEs.
And you can change admin->configuratin->ssu settings to set the max length or max number of words.
