Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[bigbadboy]

Some mods work perfectly, some don't.
Installed as per the entire instructions, checed, checked and checked again but now I still get errors:

/home/PATH/TO/ADMIN/includes/classes/module_installer.php on line 201
Error Error: Nothing to do - no query or query-file specified.
Error Failed to set up version tracker table
Warning /home/PATH/TO/ADMIN/includes/module_installation/yellow1912_ssu/current_version.txt is missing
Error Module version could not be found in file and database

Plus all files are called as domain.com/cSSU_ID_DELIMITER1

The files are installed but it simply won't work.
htaccess checked, everything checked.

it seems some errors are calling for files that don't exist or at least are not included in the package I just downloaded.

Im sorry everyone not showing up a few days. We got a huge work load coming suddenly at my work place here and every night when I get home Im literally beaten up and unable to even turn on my PC. Give me till this weekend, I have a new version coming out soon which will fix all known bugs.

Regards

Hey there Yellow,

Are we any closer to the revised Mod that you suggested would be available last weekend.

Seems alot of people are either

A) Waiting for the revised version before implementing;

B) Installing the current one and coming up with errors that are likely to have been resolved with the release of the new version

Seem to have sorted most problems but still stuck with this last one:

Warning: file(/home/PATH/TO/ADMIN/includes/module_installation/install.sql) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/PATH/TO/ADMIN/includes/classes/module_installer.php on line 201

These 2 files do not exist in my download:
simple_seo_url_rev235

What has mysteriously been fixed is the path names now work beautifully after I empty the cache, deleted cookies and restarted the browser for like the 20th time.

You can decide to manually add each of these pages to the exclude list (admin -> configuration -> Simple SEO URL -> exclude list). Personally I decided to modify the function ssu_params in includes/init_includes/init_ssu.php this way:

Thanks to $only_products_id and $both_id, we can process the links referring to pages which are not product or category pages, but whose URL contain category or product identifiers (like tell_a_friend and product_reviews_write).
If you want to use this solution, you can cut and paste the code, overwrite init_ssu.php with the file in attachment, or use the patch with the command "patch -p0 < init_ssu.patch".
Of course this is provided without any warranty and should be tested before using it on your Zen Cart shop (in your case it seems you already use a test shop, though).

I had not proposed yet these modifications as I was not sure everyone met this problem.

To hunt dead or broken links on a website, you can use lynx (lynx -accept_all_cookies -traversal -crawl -realm PATH_TO_YOUR_LOCAL_WEBSITE) or Xenu (wich unfortunately only has a Windows version but it works fine with wine). Of course it is best to use it on your own PC or local network as it consumes A LOT of bandwith.

Hope this helps,

FMB.

For anyone else with the same linking problem as me this worked like a treat. thanks FMB!

I put the file ipn_main_handler.php to exclude list and then the Paypal IPN works fine.
Dunno if it should just work fine when not adding ipn_main_handler.php to the exclude list?

Same here. my exlclude list: advanced_search_result,ipn_main_handler.php

Everything seems to work fine for me. Check out for yourself www.framescity.com

Simple SEO url is a really great & useful mod!

Hi

My home page comes up fine but when I click on any product or category i get the following error

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

The website is www.gr8stationery.com

can any one help??

Same here. my exlclude list: advanced_search_result,ipn_main_handler.php

In desperation, I tried it too but it had no effect, I mean, when the transaction on Paypal's website is complete, the shop does not receive the notification.
I really don't understand why this should work, since this part of the .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .* - [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]

means that if you invoke an existing directory or file (like ipn_main_handler.php) in the URL, the server must not rewrite the URL (otherwise it uses the last rule), thus Paypal should not have any problem when it comes to bring back the information to the shop. You can try to invoke ipn_main_handler.php via your web browser: if you get a blank page, then this script should be successfully used by Paypal. However it is not... and this is what I'd like to understand.

I seemed to have fixed the intial error but are now getting the following message when i click on any link.

Not Found

The requested URL /zencart/index.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I think there is a problem with your .htaccess file. It seems you did not turn the default line

RewriteBase /zencart/

into

RewriteBase /shop/

did you ?
