Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[molywerks]

Also, I am unsure about why any of these SEO solutions insist on putting the ID in the URL. What is the point if customers use unique product names? Does it have something to do with 301 Redirect?

I like Ultimate SEO because it uses product names without any category in the URL. And it looks like if hacked, the pID can be removed. But uSEO's support looks to be abandoned and needed improvements appear unlikely.

Yup, while maybe implied, I did forget to say thank you. So...

Thank you for developing Simple SEO, yellow1912. Zen users will finally have a supported, fully fleshed-out, and a truly open source SEO URL solution.

Is anybody running this on a live site?

Has anyone experienced any problems with PayPal EC when using this mod?

Is a download option available? Now I need the files piece by piece.
Maybe a zipfile somewhere.

Thanx

Is this mod going to be available anytime soon? I know this is hard to tell but some kind of time line until first working release would be great. Could we get an update on the progress?

[yellow1912]

New release will be available some time this month. I'm working on a way to disable ssu when needed without having to totally uninstall it.
Also, working to improve the redirection.

All feedbacks regarding the current version will be greatly appreciated.

The new release will be packed into a whole package for easier installation.

Because product name is NOT unique, so the id MUST be there.
Frankly speaking, the product name is there in the link just for the users and possibly SEs.
One of the problem with that though, is that these 2 different links will lead to the same page:
index/this-is-cat-name-2
index/this-is-another-cat-name-2

Why? Because the way it works now, it doesn't really care about the name there at all.

pid will never be removed from the links, it must be there. The category name and such can be removed tho, and I'm thinking of a totally different way to let store owners decide exactly how their links will look like without editing the code.

I think someone mentioned about not wanting to have category name in the link, you can do that by:
1. Get the latest version from svn
2. Set "max category level" to 0
