Chemo's Ultimate URL's

[flashback]

For some reason when I activate the ULTIMATE SEO URLS I get an error on some of the links that appear on my "Shopping Cart" sidebox for some reason when I click them from there they go to the index page instead the product page, it doesnt happen with all of the products just with some,something that I noticed is that the links that are different on the "Shopping Cart" box are the ones with the problems for example:

The Linking:

It won't work with the following URL on the "Shopping Cart" box:
/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5:540 7046bc1400d78c5501f2679e5dd77


It will work if I click the same product from the "New Products" section but the link looks different:

/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5

On another item that is on the shopping cart box that have the URL:

/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3

the problem wont happen there, I guess it has something to do with the URL.


Of course if I turn off SEO URLS everything start working perferct again.


My Zen Cart is the 1.37.1


Heeelp please :)


Thanks

Doodlebuckets - you need to rename the original function "zen_href_link" to "original_zen_href_link".

You can then add the new zen_href_link as a replacement, and everythnig should then just tick along as it was designed to.

Flashback - can you provide a URL to your store? None of the links you provided are SEO URLs, which possible means that you have missed a point in the setup process. If you can post a link, we can take a look.

I'm having the exact same problem. It's not that it's "just some pages", but rather it's RANDOM pages. Sometimes it goes to the right link, sometimes it just redirects back to the home page. This has been going on for sometime now, and I'm sick of it. I'm assuming it has something to do with this particular mod too. My store is: http://www.soy-wax-candles.com/store/

.htaccess file is in the /store folder and looks like this:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /store/

# From Ultimate SEO URLs
RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-(.*).html$ index\.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)-c-(.*).html$ index\.php?main_page=index&cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)-m-([0-9]+).html$ index\.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)-pi-([0-9]+).html$ index\.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)-pr-([0-9]+).html$ index\.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)-pri-([0-9]+).html$ index\.php?main_page=product_reviews_info&products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteRule ^news/(.*)-a-([0-9]+)-comments.html$ index\.php?main_page=news_comments&article_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^news/(.*)-a-([0-9]+).html$ index\.php?main_page=news_article&article_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

# All other pages
# Don't rewrite real files or directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ index\.php?main_page=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

There's also another .htacess file in the public_html folder that doesn't have rewrite rules for the shopping cart, but it does for other things. I also seem to have one in the root that seems to have everything. Could this be what's causing the problem?

Karadawn - Could you post a link which is broken? Bare with me here - is the same link always affected, or does it work occasionally, and not others?

Hi all,

Just installed the ZEN cart for a customer, but I have got a problem with this contrib.

I installed the latest version of the Zen cart as well as the latest version I could find for the Ultimate URL's contrib.

The problem I have is, that when I turn the contrib on in the admin seciton, and the test it in the shop section the status bar in the bottom of the browser goes all the way to the end, but then the page hangs, meaning it does not go any further, and the product I clicked on does not show up, the staus bar just keeps on being at the end without going any further.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

FlashBack - you need to complete the installation in order to solve your problem. There is one part which you appear to have missed, and without checking your code, this is an educated guess.

In the includes/functions/html_output.php file, find the zen_href_link function, and rename it to original_zen_href_link. You then need to copy the new function from the install guide, or the packaged files, depending on your download version.

This will then ensure that the actual links are created as SEO links, rather than standard links which are redirecting when they are clicked.

Pete3006 - any chance of a URL?

Absotute, I have:

  function zen_href_link($page = '', $parameters = '', $connection = 'NONSSL', $add_session_id = true, $search_engine_safe = true, $static = false, $use_dir_ws_catalog = true) {
    global $request_type, $session_started, $http_domain, $https_domain;

function original_zen_href_link($page = '', $parameters = '', $connection = 'NONSSL', $add_session_id = true, $search_engine_safe = true, $static = false, $use_dir_ws_catalog = true) {
    global $request_type, $session_started, $http_domain, $https_domain;

Now about the the new function should be bellow this one?? and where does it ends because I am pasting something and it breaks my site.

[flashback]

I think I finally got it, I did not upload all the files, see the installation package comes with 2 folders one general and another one for 1.37, I only upload the 1.37 one, on the general folder there is product.php and category.php that probably were causing all this, after I upload it I had to re-upload the .HTACCES file and reset the SEO from admin.


THANKS TO ALL OF YOU SPECIALLY ABSOLUTE
