Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[autoace]

I checked your site from your signature and it seems that you have Simple SEO URL working quite nicely! How did you do it??? I am having some issues, can you help me, please?

Also, it seems you also have another addon working well that I am also trying to install; captch-number-subject-in-1 1.0, correct?
The problem I am having is first, the CAPTCH does not show up anywhere and 2nd when I click on my 'Contact Us' page its totally blank! Ouch. Do you know what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I just installed SSU and started working on ZenCart today (for the first time ever!) and I am having a similar problem to autorace with my .htaccess file (can't find info on it in the FAQ - maybe I am not looking for the right thing?). The ssu_check.php file keeps telling me:

((Warning icon))Checking includes/configure.php
((Warning icon))Suggested .htaccess content
((Success icon)) #### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

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

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

#### EOF SSU
Warning Checking cache write permission

My .htaccess file is exactly the same as that, but I keep getting the error. I don't know where the site is being hosted (I saw the message about godaddy caching the .htaccess file) - I am hoping the problem is as simple as that.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks.
P.S. I am using the latest versions

Check if your htaccess content is:

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

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

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

#### EOF SSU

And that's it

Thank you for the reply. I tried that and still get the following:

Warning Checking includes/configure.php
Warning Suggested .htaccess content
Success #### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

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

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

#### EOF SSU
Warning Checking cache write permission

Any other ideas?

If you read carefully, it says checking, it doesnt say please check

If something is wrong then you will see a different notice.

You are fine, you set it correctly

Well, whaddayaknow!? :-)

Thank you.

Now that Simple SEO URL seems to be happily working, I have a question on how google is going to interpret the changed urls. Since Google already has a record of all the OLD urls, is google going to view the NEW urls as having DUPLICATE content?

SSU does 301 ridirection of the links so you dont have to worry about that, eventually it will pick up and index only the new links.

Thank you for this excellent mod. All seems to be working great, but I have one question (and I do apologise if its in this thread already, but there are a lot of pages and I couldn`t think of a search term):

For a category, in my store I see:
index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1

When I click the link, in the browser address bar I see:
hardware-c-1.html

So, its working fine, but shouldn`t the seo link be visible at all times in the cart? Have I maybe forgot to upload a certain file?

Thank you for the help,
H.
