Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[yellow1912]

As this time, the only thing you can do (I believe), is to limite the minimum category level to 1.
You can of course use link alias to eliminate the category name, but you have to do so manually for each product. Also, if you do want to do so, make sure you make the link permanent as well.

Checked it again and it's working!


Is it possible to have the direct links to products display the link as


www.site.com/prodcut-name-here

rather than

www.site-com/category/category-1/product_name-here

Yea I think it's working ....

http://www.kids-n-cribs.info/strolle...ilver-stroller

is the path created as the page is rendered.

This link: http://www.kids-n-cribs.info/2009-ma...ilver-stroller

will actually get you to the product, it's just rewritten when the page loads.

For SEO purposes, the more direct link will probably be better. Is there a sitemap that you would recommend over another that would work well with your seo mod?

[yellow1912]

Any sitemap should work if it uses zen_href_link function

As for the path, some prefer it to be more "structured" like that.

Oh ok.

When I go to deploy to my prod site. Can I simply copy the entire web root, upload the production versions of configure.php ( for admin/includes and includes ).

Once that is done, if I go into admin->extras->ssu, will all the SQL be run to create the necessary tables?

[yellow1912]

If you move the entire files as well as database then everything should be ready to go. Is it what you are asking? Also, make sure you change the htaccess if necessary.

The files will be moved, but the database will not be moved.

When I installed the SEO mod to my test site, the first time I went ot admin->extras->ssu, all the SQL scripts were run to create the necessary tables / inserts for the SSU Mod.

Once i've deployed the files to my prod site and I go to admin->extras->ssu for the first time, will the sql scripts get executed to build the necessary tables in production?

Is there still a .keep file that needs to be deleted prior to it knowing to run the sql scripts?

[yellow1912]

If you are not going to move the db, yes you have to delete .keep

All patches will be applied automatically

Prior to installing the mod, our .htaccess was made up of the following:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^kids-n-cribs.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.kids-n-cribs.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

With the mod, the 301 redirect seems to be no longer working. Is it still possible to have the 301 redirect and the SEO mod installed?



This is the new version, working for SEO, but 301 redirect is not working.

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^kids-n-cribs.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.kids-n-cribs.com/$1 [r=301,nc] 

#### 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

Any help would be awesome!

Thanks

[yellow1912]

Try

#### 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 %{http_host} ^kids-n-cribs.com [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.kids-n-cribs.com/$1 [r=301,L]

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

Did you follow all the steps including updating the config in admin as well as clearing cache?
Posted via Mobile Device

I updated the config as told here

http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zen...les/ssu/config

I cleaned the ssu cache and visited the ssu manager as told here

http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zen...es/ssu/upgrade

But it still isn't working because customers can't add anything to cart. What do you recommend next? Thanks.
