Link can always be found under my signature.

Unless you have root access, more than likely you will not be able to find that folder via ftp

Contact your host, they should be able to help

Thanks Yellow! I have contacted my host so we shall see. It's funny coz I have been busy optimising txt, images, links etc... but I have only recently found out that the Search engines probably r not even indexing my weird XXXID urls!

Oh well, at least I know now!

I've installed on my server. There's a problem with Internet Explorer URL.

Using IE7 show:
http://www.myshop.tld/one-%283-s%29-p-66

Using Firefox 3.0.5 show:
http://www.myshop.tld/one-(3-s)-p-66


How to fix this IE7 url issue? did i miss something?

First, we need to check which version you are using?

Also, on IE7, it is not actually a problem. IE7 simply cannot display an encoded url correctly. You can check wikipedia links in some foreign language and you will see the links are displayed with encoded characters inside as well

Im using ssu_beta_2.9.6(php4).zip.
installed on Zencart 1.3.8a & PHP4.

This might cause problem with Zen Lightbox add-on. FF work correctly, IE show js error and i think because this URL type.

How to make SSU show the url correctly using IE?

It should not cause any problem with lightbox at all, this has been tested.

Since SSU is opensource, if you want you can go in and add some rule to completely remove () from the link. I can certainly assist you to do that.

Newer version of SSU does this by default, but with your server at php4 then 2.9.6 is the latest version you can use. BTW, with 1.3.8 you can certainly use php5, and on most hosts this is a matter of putting in a line in the config.

I just installed Ultimate SEO URL, it really remove () from the link (IE & FF). Wondering what should be edit to make Simple SEO (ver.2.9.6 & PHP4) works like Ultimate SEO URL for replacing for () from the link. . I dont want to use Ultimate SEO URL, i think Simple SEO is better.

thanks.

Yes you can edit it. For version 2,9.x you need to check the file:
\includes\classes\ssu\languages\default.php

Find this line:
$name = str_replace(array(' ', '\'', '/', '\\', '"', '.', ':', '@', '_', '-', '?', '&', '='), $this->registry('name_delimiter'), $name);


Replace by
$name = str_replace(array(' ',' (',' )', '\'', '/', '\\', '"', '.', ':', '@', '_', '-', '?', '&', '='), $this->registry('name_delimiter'), $name);

Then you need to clear cache in ssu manager. That should do the trick.

I would recommend going to php5 soon, since next version of zen will require php5. Plus your current version 1.3.8 is compatible with php5 (unless you are running something else that does not work on php5)
