Chemo's Ultimate URL's

[voltage]

I agree 100%. I added that sidebox just recenlty and was pressured to make the site go live. Thanks for the compliments.

Voltage, IHMO I think you need a new button for your newsletter subsciption sidebox. Your site's design and look is so professional and very high quality and that button just seem to no belong (that button looks cheap compare to your site). Please don't take this in the wrong way.

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to get Ultimate URLs to work on Moku's Book Product Type. I followed the directions from http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21801 adding lines to the .htaccess and the seo.url.php file to include music and a duplicate in which I changed 'music' to 'book' and 'pmi' to 'pbi'. But, no dice. The URLs work for my info pages and category pages but not for the product pages. Any ideas? Can I post more info which would help someone in helping me out with this? Thanks.

Some of my Categories are being indexed twice by Google. For example I have 2 different entries for the Gallery Glass category. The two url's that google has are:

http://www.anitasarts.com/gallery-gl...sort=4a&page=1
http://www.anitasarts.com/gallery-gl...sort=1a&page=1


Both go to the same page. How can I fix this?

Ok, I just added a new product type and this is how I did it (product type is gemring)

Go to the file: includes/classes/seo.url.php

Find this section:

$seo_pages = array(
FILENAME_DEFAULT,
FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO,
FILENAME_POPUP_IMAGE,
FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS,
FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS_INFO,
);

Add in your product type like this (this is mine: gemring):

$seo_pages = array(
'product_gemring_info',
FILENAME_DEFAULT,
FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO,
FILENAME_POPUP_IMAGE,
FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS,
FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS_INFO,
);

Find this section:

'products_id_review_info' => '-pri-',
	'products_id_review' => '-pr-',
	'products_id_review_info' => '-pri-',
	'products_id_review' => '-pr-',
	'products_id_review_info' => '-pri-',

Add your product type:

'products_id_review_info' => '-pri-',
	'products_id_review' => '-pr-',
	'products_id_review_info' => '-pri-',
	'products_id_review' => '-pr-',
	'products_id_review_info' => '-pri-',
	'products_gemring_info' => '-pgr-',

Notice that I added a new suffix - pgr (product gem ring), you can choose what you want. Notice that there is an 's' at the end of product.

Find this section:

case ($page == FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS_INFO):
$url = $this->make_url($page, $this->get_product_name($p2[1]), 'products_id_review_info', $p2[1], '.html', $separator);
break;

Add your product type below like this:

case ($page == FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS_INFO):
$url = $this->make_url($page, $this->get_product_name($p2[1]), 'products_id_review_info', $p2[1], '.html', $separator);
break;
case ($page == 'product_gemring_info'):	
$url = $this->make_url($page, $this->get_product_name($p2[1]), 'products_gemring_info', $p2[1], '.html', $separator);
break;

Now go the htaccess and find this section:

RewriteRule ^(.*)-pr-([0-9]+).html$ index\.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Add your code on the line below this:

RewriteRule ^(.*)-pgr-([0-9]+).html$ index\.php?main_page=product_gemring_info&products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

There you go! Just substitute the name of your product type and the correct suffix.

Here is the end product of mine:

Hi BlessIsaacola,
I experienced a similar issue today. Customer was not able to login, but it wouldn't take them to the home page, it was just refreshing the login page (no errors or anything). My master password failed as well. I went into the admin and turned off Ultimate SEO, reset the SEO cache, and turned it back on and it appears that it solved the problem.

Dreamscape, any idea on what's causing the period issues with the login problem.

Basically, what happens is the customer clicks on long and after they entered their credential they are returned to the home page but they are not logged in and the url enter something like url/?sid id instead of including the file.htm before the sid id. This only happens with this mod enabled.

Thanks for any insight you might have.

How do I properly set up a redirect for single pages? I had a page: gemstone_sizes.html which is now guide_carat.html. I used this in my htacces:

Redirect 301 /gemstone_sizes.html http://www.moissaniteco.com/guide_carat.html

But it just redirects to:
htp://www.moissaniteco.com/guide_carat.html?main_page=gemstone_sizes

Thank you so much for posting this Voltage. Yes! That work around works, the only problem is it's temporary solution. It will still happens again and you probably won't know until the customer contacts you again. It's really bizzarre because it only affects previous customer trying to login, it doesn't affect account creation.

Please let me know if you find a permanent solution. Right now, I have turned off Ultimate SEO URL because we get enough customers that this happens to and we actually get email from some of them. Right now, the benefit of this mod is not worth the customer issues.

Thanks for posting your experience. At least now, I know I am not crazy :)
