Monkeymadness posted this before the change;

hello stokerstees and aspudden (this may help you too)

first of all have you used the original ultimate seo url contribution from the first page of this thread?....if yes then good as your using 1.2....

if not then go get the original from here

http://www.dream-scape.com/pub/zenca...mate_SEO_URLs/

and replace dr bytes with that...the one in the zencart download area is dr bytes for v1.3

you public_html folder isnt part of zencart...just in case you thought it is....i dont know how to explain what the public_html folder is but its the folder you put your zencart folders in ...or the folder above the folder you put your zen folders in which people often name shop or catalogue

.htaccess file.....you do not change any existing htaccess file for this contribution...you create it in the same place you see you admin, classes, functions, includes, images, modules pub etc folders.....the instructions for what to put in this file are on the dream-scape site linked above.....click on installation on that page and follow the instructions...the htaccess is at the bottom

remember to change the the rewritebase line in the htaccess

it should be just

/

if your zen site is youdomain.com

it should be /shop/

if you zen site is yourdomain.com/shop

do not put your whole domain name there just a /

and remember if you use paypal to change the seo.url.php file to add the paypal fix somewhere in this thread

I hope that helps and makes things clearer, as this does definately work with 1.2.6...I think you've just got a little confused along the way
good luck





Ok, I think I follow but could use a hand to steady myself here. ;) btw-I do have the 1.201 version(?) from dreamscapes site. It has a seperate folder for 1.301 zen cart. I didn't touch any of that stuff.

I put the "new" .htaccess file into all of the folders you mention above? And I do not change ANY of the .htaccess files I find along the way? I understand that I put in the file as shown on the installation page but I guess I just don't know where to put it. I assumed I should change the .htaccess files that are already there......

I suppose every cart is different so a list of places to insert this file would not really be possible, eh? :)

Thanks for the help as your description has helped the most I think. I may wait a bit before making any changes to see if there is another response to this. I don't make any changes that I can't reverse easily but I am worried about blowing up my cart.


Thanks,
Todd
