Ok great. I searched for dreamscape in this thread and found the link, but since it was truncated it didn't quite work. so I deleted it and then clicked in the link that matched what I'm looking for and found this.

Woodymon,

@Birdy: What's wrong? That is the latest version. You asked: "the best thread number to start with?" So I posted for you the thread number of the latest release so you would not read any further back than that (as many of the old issues have been solved in the beta version). So start from that post and read forward. And download the beta and read the rich set of documentation provided (which the author says "is still beta"). And review the bugtracker list. OK mon?

Thought I would give SEO URLs 3.0.0b1 a test spin on ZC 1.37
(I have only one mod already installed, ImageHandler2).

After reading instructions in the guide, I uploaded files and edited /includes/functions/html_output.php, then visited my shop home page.

But the index page displayed blank. Ugh. Any clues?

I can still get to the admin login page. But I see no SEO URLs item listed in admin Configuration menu.

Thanks,
Woody

Woody,

Did you added the .htaccess file to your root and did you turn on the default plugins?

Did you added the .htaccess file to your root

Hi Isaac,

No, not at first at least, as the order of the order of the steps in the guide says to do that AFTER visiting the home page. But when the home page did not display I went ahead and uploaded .htaccess. But still no go.

I returned html_output.php to it's natural state and still observe a blank home page.

and did you turn on the default plugins?

No. I don't see anything in the guide that refers to that. ;-)
But I suspect that would be done via the admin Configuration menu. But as stated SEO URLs does not display in the Config menu. Likely related to the failure of bringing up the index page, thus the mod was not "installed".

Someone said it works out-of-the-box. Not for me. My question of the day is when does this mod come out of beta (or when is next update)?

Please paste your .htaccess here and make sure you've applied the 5 patches.

Thanks for the follow-up.

I'm not utilizing a htaccess at first as I just need to get the mod installed by visiting the home page first. Unless dreamscape's guide document is completely incorrect.

Five patches since 3.0.0b1 was released? OK. I will review this thread and compile a list of patch references and post the list back here so nobody else has to go through the same.

For the benefit of some education I thought I would just test out SEO URLs on a test shop. But now I can see the experience already is turning into a project. No pain no gain...I guess.

Hiya,

I would like to see a compiled list of patches one should apply...

I doubt this thing works without the .htaccess. There is a little bit of confusion around using PATH-INFO and ModRewrite. If you want to save yourself the headache, I'd suggest testing the easy way first by using .htaccess (using ModRewrite rather than PATH-INFO) and if that works fine, disable your .htaccess and then continue testing the other way.

The Guide is well intended but it doesn't mean everything works as it should.
