Chemo's Ultimate URL's

[kelvyn]

Don't forget that the Magic SEO COSTS and you have to maintain a link to their web site!!

I've had a look at this magic SEO mod. I need to have a little more testimony if I'm going to be splashing out that much for one mod, I mean, I've been caught out before. As in...

and i don't think that Chemo willl be working to give you a free, ready to install, SEO URL... because he is not even answering , as far as i know, here

It's been a while since I've been round this way, so by way of hopefully helping others understand, here's
[FONT="Arial"]a summary of the Ultimate SEO URL situation [/FONT]
as I see it.
In this post on 11th October 2006,

Ok, I started a fund drive over at fundable.org for completing development of version 3 of this module:

https://www.fundable.org/groupactions/zencart-seo-urls

Note: The fundraiser is open for only 25 days.

Note: You don't pay upfront. You make a pledge now for whatever amount you want to give, and you only pay if and when the fund goal is reached.

The project goal was for $500, and from that page you'll see that $575 was raised on time, most like me contributed $25, some contributed $100 or more.

And that was the last we heard of it. No explanation. Chemo/Dreamscape/Josh was logging into the forums regularly, but not replying to any threads. There was no suggestion of ill-health, so a group of us contacted fundable and paypal to explain that the "product" part of the deal wasn't appearing.

In February, suddenly a great splodge of work appeared, along with the Bug Tracker (with many patches) and lots of activity in the forums. On the whole, the product was fine. I think the problem lies with the fact that the patches were never integrated with the product. I posted a patch file back in March 2007. Josh went AWOL again, but still logging into the Zen forums every few days.

The last time he logged in was 19th September 2007 12:07 AM and his last post was on 7th June 2007 which said

Not well... dealing with many health issues... everyone bearing down on you to get ############ done yesterday eventually eats you alive... can't talk any more right now.

Now, it has occured to me more than once that Chemo refers to Chemotherapy. So the thing is, I really don't know what's going on here.

I think, without reasonable explanation, some people are allowed to feel irked.
After all, the deal was "pay me $500 in x amount of time and I'll make v3 of this mod". The result was $575, on time, and a half-finished Beta. I'm not saying that, if there are genuine health issues I expect this to be finished, but for those saying "don't expect him to make you something for free", we didn't.

Would that be a fair summary of the situation?

For those of you claiming that this works, how did you resolve the attribute issue where this mod messes up the link for products with attribute? How did you resolve the issue with regards to products that have ' in the name? When this mod is installed, search result does not yield any result of product name inlcudes '

Well, there's an interesting thing - I'll admit I didn't notice that. CU SEO was doing so well for us on Google, but now you've pointed that out, there could be issues. Has anyone tried escaping ( \' ) all the ' and " marks? Does the new version in downloads improve this? What about the Magic version?

Well, I hope this summary has helped others - now if someone could help me fill the gaps in my knowledge I'd be grateful!
