Ultimate SEO v3 (and v2.200) [Support Thread]

[su35]

Hi lhungil

There are two files included in v212 and disappeared in v215: admin\includes\functions\general.php and \includes\classes\db\mysql\query_factory.php. Do I need delete the codes added by the v212 in those two files?

In readme file, you mentioned "Plugin Manager". What is it and where to get it?

Another suggestion: embedding links in readme file. Example: fix the Numinex changes, without a link, user should go through the thread to make sure to find right info.

@jsarwar. I do not use those 3rd party "modules". My guess based upon your comments is those 3rd party modules have "standalone" files in the store root and partially load portions of Zen Cart instead of fully integrating with Zen Cart. You may wish to review the other posts in this thread about dealing with 3rd party modules not written as Zen Cart pages which call the internal application_top code in Zen Cart.

@su35
v2.12 is the latest "stable" release. This thread is for officially supported stable releases only.

Hi lhungil,

Why following have index in this?

Enter pages to allow rewrite


index, product_info, products_new, products_all, featured_products, specials, contact_us, conditions, privacy, reviews, shippinginfo, faqs_all, site_map, gv_faq, discount_coupon, page, page_2, page_3, page_4


I removed index from there and it solved my issue. Will this cause any other issue?

How the "pages to rewrite" setting works is clearly documented in the module and also in this thread. The answer you seek can be found in those materials.

Well, I have been reading through forum all day yesterday and have tried all suggested changes in rewrite rule but it did not work.

I was also getting "Session time out" and page not found error very often. For example if customer change shipping method on checkout they get time out page and if they click on login they get page not found error.

Last night I removed index from that list and it solved both problems. All root files are working and no "Time out/page not found" issue.

But I see now categories does not open with url.html

In .htaccess I have all rules which came with module.

Well, I have been reading through forum all day yesterday ...

A Quick Search reveal the following: application_top.php Ultimate URLs.

When you look at a "stock" Zen Cart URL you will notice "?main_page=xxxx" The "xxxx" is the name of the Zen Cart page. So when you tell Ultimate URLs to not modify any URLs for Zen Cart "index" pages... The result is those pages will not have altered URLs (including category, manufacturers, etc).

... have tried all suggested changes in rewrite rule but it did not work. ... page not found error very often. ...

There were no suggested changes to make to rewrite rules. Any mistakes made while altering the .htaccess file will result in not only 404 / Page Not Found errors, but may also cause other issues.

... I was also getting "Session time out" ...

Most likely unrelated to anything in this module. This module does not do anything which impacts "sessions".



NOTE: "Order Question" is not listed as compatible with Zen Cart 1.3.9h or Zen Cart 1.5.x. Both the modules you mention call core Zen Cart code (application_top.php) while not fulling integrating as Zen Cart pages (main_page=xxx). Two potential workarounds have been listed more than once in this thread.

Link you post if not working. I tried Product_listing but it did not work for categories pages.

Changes I was referring to are mentioned in forum. e.g. Rewrite rule base etc.


First I removed index which fix all issues except categories url were not in .html format then I worked more and found out everything works fine if I turn off enable redirects...

There are no places in THIS thread where it says change the rewrite rules to workaround issues with 3rd party modules. And none mentioning making such a change to fix issue with 3rd party code placed in the root (instead of written as a Zen Cart page) which calls application_top.php. And definitely none posted by the current maintainer suggesting such changes would fix the problem at hand.

... I worked more and found out everything works fine if I turn off enable redirects...

Which you would have found had you done a basic search. Disabling "automatic redirects" is one of the two suggested workarounds for handling 3rd party code placed in the root (instead of written as a Zen Cart page) which calls application_top.php.

I am glad you found the correct solution and thank you for letting us know one of the suggested workarounds does in fact correct the issues you were experiencing.

I found one and posted here. Can you post second one here for community?
