Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[fergusmacdonald]

Hey,

I've had this module installed and running for approximately 1 week and noticed yesterday that there are over 50,000 directories in the cache/ssu directory. Most of them are empty as i've cleared the cache a number of times.

I have a store with roughly 1300 products, and use automated link aliases to remove identifiers.

Can you tell me if this is number of directories in the cache folder is normal, and if so, can you give me some more info on why there are so many and what their purpose is.

Thanks.

Since most directory wont run effectively with over 30000 files inside, i had to break down folders into many subfolders.

In the new version i will allow store owners to determine how depth this level could go down, but for now it is 4 level deep.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I'm not sure i understand why this many files are needed for the cache? Does it not only need to cache each url once, or does it create a file in the cache every time a link is clicked?

[yellow1912]

one product does not have a single url, it has many url (with different variables inside).If you have 1000 products and around 50 categories you can have maybe 5000 or more urls just for products and categories.

It's recommended to clean up cache folder once in a while, maybe 2-3 months.

Yellow could you jump over to the Zen Simple Cache thread and answer my question if you have time. I appreciate it a lot. Sorry to interrupt you in here. Awesome Modules.

Hi,

Ive installed this mod and started using it and i thought it was great! however im having a few problems with the alias's.

im trying to put an alias in for the product which is 2 categories deep (category1/category2/product). Im trying to put an alias in for this product but when i do it just seems to refresh the page when clicked or it just displays a 'page cannot be found.

Can you do an alias for an alias??

Category1 has an alias of level1 creating the alias URL of level1/category2/product

i then do an alias for Category2 creating the Alias URL of level1/level2/product. The link i have to change is level1/category2 . Things still work fine.

when i then change level1/level2/product to level1/level2/new_product it seems to break??


does this make sense?? Am i doing simething wrong??

Thanks for your help

Paul

No, Sorry but I dont really get you.

Which version are you using? Why do you want to have an alias of an alias? Why not changing that specific alias itself?

Can you check your server error log to see the error in details?

I get this error, but in the error log for my cpanl it doesn't show anything.

I was receiving an error going to ssl pages as well, but that was corrected by removing the username in the config.php

[yellow1912]

Actually your error log in your cpanel should show something related to the error. Anyhow, if you temporarily remove whatever you have in your htaccess, and leave only the ssu stuffs there do you still get the error? What is the url of your site?

[ahall13]

actually I had changed it to that last night because I couldn't get into my admin once I turned on ssu. Since i fixed the path for my ssl to not include the username and realized my htaccess only had the ssu stuff. I put it back to how it was before including the ssu stuff, turned on ssu and it works perfect. I guess it was just the ssl causing a huge mess.

I really appreciate your help.
