Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[yellow1912]

I think the 3 most exciting about the new version(3.2+) is:
1. A better support for multi-lang site (language no longer attached to the end of the url, it is appended to the start, which makes more sense)

2. The ability to write your own plugin to parse anything you want. You are no longer limited by the default ones provided by SSU.

3. And of course, the exciting link alias is coming with more performance improvement (expect to see it in 3.2.1)

Regarding the common request by many users: removing all "identifiers" and id from the urls, link alias should help you with that.

Basically I already have the idea how to implement link alias with the minimal performance hit as well, I'm just still stuck at one point: what to do when you change the rewrite rule, or when you change the category, a very good example is

This is the old-style link:
http://site.com/this-is-a-cat-c-1/great-product-p-1

This is the alias:
http://site.com/this-is-a-cat/great-product

Or it can even be this:
http://site.com/october-promotion

The thing is, with the old style, if you change category/product name or parsing rule, SSU will simple re-calculate the name and redirect the users to the correct ones. With the new one, it is not that simple, since there is nothing on the link to use as a base to recalculate the new link. Or we will have to at least keep the ids in the links for now.
I will have to come up with a solution, somehow. All suggestions are welcome.

Ok, I deleted unnecessary files for update, but after I got error: try to set table "links_aliase" that already exist. When I delete it from PHP my admin SSU start to work.
Now, its work but when I set "Set SSU Multi Language Status"
I have 404 error on site

Are you still using the dev site you showed me before? Can you send me info again? It will be great to test this out and sort out all possible problems ^_^ Thanks for helping me to test this btw.

please check pm

[yellow1912]

please check pm

Thank you, I have found the 2 first bugs ^_^, which are now (hot) fixed on your site (you can turn it on again for checking, I turned the mod off), a more proper fix will be applied in 3.2.1

I also find another possible bug which may somehow related to ssu:
When in ssu mode, try to click on buy now button and you will see some interesting error. I dont know how you module is coded so I dont know if this somehow related. Keep me updated regarding this possible bug.

Hi Yellow...

I've just added this mod to my test site and configured..

Just a question
I take it from your post (as quoted above) that the product ID still has to reside in the link until you can find a fix ?

Great work btw..

[yellow1912]

No, it doesnt have to be in the links (Assuming you are using 3.3.7)

You can use link-alias to do that. The only drawback is that you have to do it manually for each link.

Ouch.. that could take a while, I have 400+ products... they might have to stay there !!!!

[yellow1912]

The id in the categories can go away if you want to, assuming you dont have too many categories.

An automate process is planned for future release.

BTW, I meant to say "manually for each name", not link. Watch the link-alias video tutorial and you will understand.
