Chemo's Ultimate URL's

[Absolute]

One way round this would be to install the sql patches manually, as they all auto-install to my knowledge with MySQL 4. I can't remember off the top of my head if there is an SQL file available for this patch, otherwise you may need to try and run this, and each time an error appears, jsut install that SQL line manually.

The reason it is failing currently is because the SEO contrib is trying to install the required database keys, and failing. This will keep happening, until your database has these keys inserted, and the automatic checks return true.

Many thanks for your help folks :)

I have currently decided to install this site from scratch and am at this stage:-

http://www.dinkydrinks.eu/demo

I am just going to move the site up a level to replace the broken version of the site and then try again with the latest version of ZC and re installation of the SEO module.

I will advise as to my progress as i work through this tonight...

kind regards

Jamie

Accidentally posted yesterday in the wrong thread, so please bear with me if you've already seen this elsewhere.

I've been running Ultimate SEO URLs 2.103 for about a month on shedkitstore.com. I like it for the most part, but I'm tearing out my hair over the session-ID behavior. Zen-Cart (1.3.7) adds the &zenid=... session identifier to the end of href values on nearly every link on the first page loaded. Click any non-category link (EZ-pages, info, etc) with a session identifier in the url, and get a page-not-found. Shoppers who are brave enough to try again will get the url without session id, and the correct pages will load on the second attempt. Not everyone is that persistent, though, and leaving it as-is amounts to flushing a lot of advertising dollars down the drain.

How do I work around this? Has anyone else experienced similar problems with this contribution? For whatever it's worth, the server error log shows "File does not exist" errors when this happens. Anywhere a session ID is tacked on to the end of the URL, the result is "page not found."

I know the problem is with SEO URLs, as it only occurs when I have this contrib enabled. If I switch SEO URLs off, the zenid-appended urls load just fine.

Is this fixable, or am I wasting my time?

There is a post for a fix for this in one of the 450+ posts on this thread. Do a search for all Dreamscape's posts on this thread. I know that he provided a fix especially for ezpages, infopages, paypal ipn, etc.

Thanks for the tip -- I took your advice and read all of Dreamscape's posts in this thread. Were you referring to this post? My problem isn't limited to EZ-pages, info pages, etc. -- the problem I'm having with Ultimate SEO URLs is with links that contain the &zenid appendage. Plus, the fix that Dreamscape posted for the EZ-pages/info-pages problem was already integrated in my 2.103 installation (checked the classes/seo.url.php just to make sure).

Worth noting: SEO URLs breaks whenever the link has an ampersand, e.g. &zenid ... but it doesn't break when the link has a question mark, e.g. ?zenid ...

I noticed this because links with ?zenid in the categories sidebox work, while all of the links with &zenid do not work.

I thought the Zenid is only generated once and twice if and only if you turn on the option to recreate sessions on Admin side when customer goes to checkout. Are you saying you're getting Zenid on every page?

No, I'm only getting it on the first page loaded. So if someone clicks any link other than a categories sidebox link, it's bad. You can see what I mean on ShedKitStore.com.

Also worth noting:

The second and subsequent pages loaded have no ampersands in any links. All the links that had ampersands on the first loaded page have question marks instead.

Are the ampersands supposed to appear on the first page?

It looks like your .htaccess file may not be formatted correctly. Can you post the last three lines of the .htaccess file that follow on from:

# All other pages
# Don't rewrite real files or directories

I am unable to duplicate the problem you're describing. However, I got this error while trying to view your large image:

Warning: main(includes/templates/shed_kits_tpl/popup_image//google_analytics.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hsphere/local/home/sksadmin/shedkitstore.com/includes/templates/shed_kits_tpl/common/html_header.php on line 220

Obviously, your site is experiencing all sorts of minor issues with different mods. Perhaps, you should verify one mod at a time to make sure there are no conflicts.

SEO URL have other issues but I did not experience what you're describing on my site that I have tested the mod on. Perhaps, something is not right in your .htaccess
