Chemo's Ultimate URL's

[Absolute]

The core zen files were altered considerably between 1.2 and 1.3 releases. The instructions you are following, which details the application_top edit are for an earlier version of the store. With Zen 1.3.5 and above, you don't need to insert any new code. There are separate install instructions available from dreamscapes site.

I haven't worked at all in the last 2 or 3 months because of personal reasons.

And let's keep this thread to community support for the released versions instead of speculation of things we know nothing about.

So dreamscape was saying he took the contribution ($500) but did nothing to the new version (he promised 10-15 hours work) and if there is problem with the existing version, ask other for help

What kind of zenner he is

Hi Absolute,


May I ask where exactly for the separate install insturctions? Works for the new zen cart 1.3.5+?

It doesn't work with mine 1.3.6.

Thanks. I looked, but don't see anything but the installation instructions I was using. Could you include a link?

I stand corrected .. there aren't separate instructions on the site, they are in the Readme file included in the download.

This is the readme for v2.103:

Ultimate SEO URLs for Zen Cart
====================================

For this v1.3.5-compatible version, follow the installation instructions at the URL below,
BUT WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS:
1. skip step #2 ... editing application_top.php
2. steps 3-5, already-edited versions of these files are in the "135-specific-files" folder.
Simply upload these to the related folder on your site. You should rename the existing file to *.bak before copying.
3. step 6 ... a sample .htaccess file is included. Simply rename to .htaccess and edit the word /shop/ to match your stie

PLEASE ENSURE YOU ARE USING THE CURRENT VERSION: FOUND HERE

I am not the developer for this module, however, I have installed and tweaked it to run on a number of stores, with great success.

There are a couple of suggestions I would make for this module:
1. Ensure that Auto-Redirects is turned OFF, as there are a couple of instances when you don't want the redirects occuring.
2. Rather than replacing the orginal zen_href_link with the new text, RENAME the original function to original_zen_href_link, so that it can be called as and when you may need it.
3. A switch should be included as standard in the next release so that SSL pages can be set to non-SEO URLs, for use in shared-SSL situations.

Good luck

I installed Ultimate URL's...almost. Did all of the other steps outlined on: http://www.dream-scape.com/pub/zenca...s/install.html, however the first instruction as follows doesn't make sense as there is no line 355.

"Open your Zen Cart file `includes/application_top.php` and find the following code around line 355:"

I've tired opening 'application_top.php' in various editors and it has 131 lines, so "Step 1" is the only step that I haven't been able to execute re: installation. No one else seems to have this problem having searched the forum- or it would be clear what to do by now. Any suggestions?

I went back through this thread and realized I didn't have the latest version so downloaded that, which explains that the file in question no longer need to be changed. Only problem is that I installed it and now all the items in my store are getting a "not found" error as follows: 'The requested URL /rhinestone-c-6.html was not found on this server.'

This is a live store...and I do have a backup, but if anyone could take a look at this and figure it out as soon as possible I'd be very grateful as I'm so close yet so far at this moment.

Have you read my post above? Firstly, you need to download the LATEST verison. Once you have done this, you need to read the README file which is included in the download. This will give you the specific information for your Zen install version.

By the sound of it, you haven't set up your htaccess file correctly. If your store is accessed using a url like: www.mystore.com/index.php, then the line:

RewriteBase /shop/

should be: RewriteBase /

Otherwise, if you have your store in a subdirectory, such as www.mystore.com/online_store/index.php, then the line should be :

RewriteBase /online_store/

PM me if you need further help,

papalabis:

Do you have more than 1 language installed? IF so, it may be that you need to set the categories to display the URL in a language other than Greek.

In includes/classes/seo.url.php, find the line

if ($languages_id == '') $languages_id = $_SESSION['languages_id'];

Now you need to do a little lookup in your database. Find the ID for the Greek language, and the ID for English, and place the IDs in the following code on the line directly below the code above:

if ($languages_id == 'GREEK_LANGUAGE_ID') $languages_id = 'ENGLISH_LANGUAGE_ID';

This will change all of the name sof categories AND products to english, rather than Greek.

Good luck
