Your problem is that you put in a bunch of weird things in the query exclude list, for example: you put in cPath in there *_*

I fixed them for you, you can use this for reference:

You missed this:

1. Module Manager installed

D'oh! Thanks for that. I thought i was missing something stupid! Looks like it's installed successfully - will try it out on Monday. Thanks.

Oh maaaaan!

Thanks for saving me from myself. I put them in to see what would happen ages ago. I guess I did a whole lot of other things after - but before clearing the cache and forgot that bit.

I can't thank you enough for your help, I'd never have got back to fixing that bit if you hadn't intervened!

Many thanks and kudos to you!!!

I have looked into the issue of the product page not coming up and tried to reinstall.

I now have the issue occuring on just few products. When it happens the URL is repeating my domain name. eg http://localhost/domain/domain/category/product.

It is happening on 2 categories and the first products in that list if the URL does not change back again to the normal http://localhost/domain/category/product.

I have changed the titles of these and sort orders but this does not effect them

Don't know why there is no logic to this.

First thing would be to use ssu_check.php (see instalation instruction) to see if there is anything wrong with the settings
Second thing you should is to look into the link alias manager and see the link an alias for that particular product/catgory.
Another good thing to do is to find a pattern that triggers the problem

Anyhow, when i develop i usually turn on ssu only once the site is online.

Hi Yellow

I don't know whether it is to do with the way the internet works, my zen-cart configuration or SSU, but SSU converts a character in one of my manufacturer names. The set-up is in English, but one of my manufacturers uses the é character (they are French and the character is an e grave - if that didn't show on this page properly.) SSU converts this é to a "-" separator.

It displays properly in the zen-cart manufacturers list, but not in the urls generated. Is that normal, necessary and expected or is there something I need to change to get it to work?

Many thanks, Jim

Note that many browsers can not properly display non english characters, so those have to be either removed or encoded or replaced.

I guess the first option is easy to understand, for the 2nd option:
by encoding, your non english characters will be translated to something like this %98 (just an example, but you will see weird characters in the url). Some browsers such as firefox can show the nice and correct form of these characters on the address bar, some dont (IE 7 cant)

The 3rd option is replace the non-english characters by something equivalent to it. For example, you can replace é by e. If you go with this option, you can peak into includes/classes/ssu/plugins/languages/he.php to see an example. Then you will have to to follow the thread below to override the default language parser which is being used for English.

PS: by default, if your store is using English language, then SSU chooses the "remove" option for any non alpha numeric characters in the names.

Thanks for the information, it is valuable.

I will try to figure out how to do a replace of é grave to english e using the links provided

I have got it installed, installation went smooth and I have been able to activate the modules. However, when I try to click on any category, it just sent me to the home page instead of loading the category product page.

I am using ZC 1.3.8a. I have previously have the SEO-URLs Beta installed, however, I have disable the modules in Admin and have also change the .htaccess to the one provided by SSU. Running on Windows platform.

Any idea where I am doing wrong?
