Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[swamyg1]

You are welcome. The reason is that this WP module install wordpress as a subfolder of zencart.

Another thing you can do, which you may like better, is to use link alias to get around it
For example if you are having wp in folder 'wordpress", then you can consider creating a link-alias pair like this:
link_url: /wordpress/
link_alias: /blog/

I can't seem to get the alias to work for "blog". I have everything set up in your mod, then reset the alias cache but still no luck.

All of my wordpress urls continue to have "wordpress" in it.

You need to reset all cache not just alias cache. Try it and see if it changes, if it does not then please post a screenshot of your link alias manager where you edit the wp alias

First, thanks again a million times for ALL of your hard work and fantastic additions to ZC!!

I have installed the latest SSU release 3.6.0 on my live test site, a clone of the live site on a different domain, 1.3.7.1 with a zillion mods. Everything so far looks great and there have been no issues at all.

I have a question about how to change the string when there are " and & in the product name. I have had to have it like that instead of just " and & because ZC strips them from the header title so the browser title won't show them, plus the Google Base XML file will throw errors when trying to upload to Google since " and & aren't valid XML. What happens with SSU is this:

10-quot-amp-11-quot

I have changed the product titles so that it is just with " and & and now SSU displays like this:

10-11

but then the title bar in the browser just displays 10 & 11 instead of 10" & 11".

Is there a way to make it include the " and &? A very small point, I know, but I thought I'd ask to see if it's a small adjustment somewhere. We have well over 1000 products with " and & in the title and it reads better with them in.

You can do it, and SSU is very flexible in that. I will assume that you are using english for now, so first you want to go to
includes/classes/ssu/plugins/languages/
clone the file default.php and give it a name en.php (doesnt really matter which name you want). We do this to make sure the change is not overwritten in future update.

Then you will have to go en.php, find this
// we replace any non alpha numeric characters by the name delimiter

$name = self::removeNonAlphaNumeric($name, SSUConfig::registry('delimiters', 'name')); 

So instead of using the stock function, you will have to put in your own code here to remove only the characters you have to remove while leaving the ones you want in the link

this function removeNonAlphaNumeric is located in includes/classes/ssu/cores/language.php for your reference.

Then in your includes/ssu/classes/local.config.php you have to set language like thisyou tell ssu to use this new parser for english name instead)

//.....
'languages'        =>    array(    'en'    =>    'en',
//...... 

If you want the change to apply to all languages, then it can be done as well, you can do something like this

//.....
'languages'        =>    array(    'default'    =>    'en',
//......

Hello, I hope you can help me. I have a default install of SSU. It works great for everything bu adding products to the shopping cart. When I do, it creates a loop. My HTTPWatch shows a loop like this:

http://www.torahwear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=1&number_of_uploads=0&action=add_product

redirects to

http://www.torahwear.com/kippahs-c-2/testproduct1-p-1/action/add_product?number_of_uploads=0

redirects to

http://www.torahwear.com/kippahs-c-2/testproduct1-p-1/number_of_uploads/0?action=add_product

redirects to

http://www.torahwear.com/kippahs-c-2/testproduct1-p-1/action/add_product?number_of_uploads=0

etc......


Here are my settings.

Query Key's Exclude List: number_of_uploads,zenid,gclid,number_of_downloads,action

And here's my .htaccess:

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "test_site" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase / 
RewriteBase /

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU
