Chemo's Ultimate URL's

[tvadpro]

If you removed the category and product identifiers from the URL entirely, how would the index distinguish between categories, subcategories and products with the same name?

I'm just wondering if anyone has encountered the following in their URL:

mysite.com/gift-certificates-c-57
mysite.com/gift-certificate-p-680

apparently the letter "c" stands for category while "p" stands for product, and the numbers are their ID. Any advise on how to remove these trailing letter-number pair?

Hi, I have installed both seo_urls_3.0.0-beta1.zip & SEO_fixes_for_3.0.0.b1.zip and my settings are:

Seo Urls Status  	On 
301 Redirection Status 	On
Page Base
Default Extension
Url Plugins 	Core: Manufacturer, Core: Advanced Search, Core: Product: Reviews: Info, Core: Product: Reviews: Write, Core: Advanced Search: Result, Core: Default: Skip SSL, Core: EZ Pages, Core: Category, Core: Default, Core: Product, Core: Default Skips, Core: Product: Reviews 	 
Character Plugins 	Format: Strip Invalid, Format: Lowercase

My .htaccess file is as follows:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Seo Urls version 3.x
# Don't rewrite real files or directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index\.php?seo_url=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

# This will disallow google images to index all the images of your sites.
# All your pages will still be indexed though
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://images.google.com$ [NC] 
RewriteRule !^403.htm$ - [F,L] 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://images.search.yahoo.com$ [NC] 
RewriteRule !^403.htm$ - [F,L]

That's standard behavior of the mod. You will also notice different letters for reviews, product image when enlarged, etc. IF this is the only issue you have with this mod, enjoy it! Some of us haven't been able to get this working without breaking.

And there I was thinking that I have stuff up somehow. Will test further though. Thank you BlessIsaacola and Dreamscape, you guys rock.

You're welcome! If you have SSL installed and you're using an extension i.e. .html for your generated url, you want to make sure you test all your payment options. Paypal Express Checkout is the only one that I am aware of that doesn't work.

Asking once again:

Does it work with EZ pages and where can I view a working site that is using it with the EZ pages and the lastest Zen Cart? I have this SEO mod installed but it doesn't seem to be working for my EZ pages. Is there something I am missing?

EZ page...

Thanks!

Works with EZ pages. See my hardware catalog -- note EZ-page links in the footer, e.g. About HardwareDog. ZC version 1.3.7.

Suggestion: if your EZ-pages related problem isn't already addressed in the 3.0.0 beta1 bug tracker, definitely submit a bug report there.

It works fine with EZpages but I am yet to see a site where this works with Paypal Express Checkout when skip SSL pages is unchecked or checked and using any default extension but blank.

Works Ok with paypal express for me, and ezpages:
see here www.eshopone.co.uk
Not got any issues I can tel yet.

Obviously, you did not read my whole post. You do not have default extension so it works. If you have a default extension like .html it doesn't work. If you try it with extension and it works please let us know. Thanks!

I don't THINK I have Paypal express, but I DO have Paypal, and default (.html) extensions, and it's been working fine for me for a couple months now. (http://vtstuff.com) Skip SSL is CHECKED on mine.

Not sure if that helps, or is totally irrelevant.
