Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[yellow1912]

using a german umlaut in the search-request-keyword oft zencart generates an error because the lowercase-function is used.
is that right an how can i fix it?

greetings

If you are using the newest version, the "search" page should be excluded from SSU, so you should not have run into that problem. You can also put the search page in the "page exclude list" if it's not already there. If you still have problem please post a link and detailed steps to re-create the problem

[yellow1912]

I have found a solution that seems to be working, but I am not sure if it will mess up any feautres of zen cart...

What I have done is create the same alias for each version of pages that are linked. It seems to be working.

For example:

URL = page-linked-1; ALIAS = page-linked-alias
URL = page-linked-2; ALIAS = page-linked-alias

Is there a problem with doing this?

Thanks.

1 thing to remember: 2 pages should never have the same alias.
Your question as to whether it affects anything: yes and no. Yes in a sense that this alias link will point to 1 real product link only (so either the specific product link with the real master category id in it OR the product link with the linked category id in it)

No in a sense that if none of your current features require the correct category id in the link then you will be just fine.

Thanks so much for your help, yellow1912.

One more question...

I am trying to delete all of the aliases out of the "Manage Aliases" screen... So I go through and delete all the aliases..and it looks like they are all deleted. Then I reset all cache...But when I go on the site the aliases are still active. And then when I go back to the "Manage Aliases" screen, all the aliases are still there. I am wondering what I am doing wrong, or if there is another way for me to delete all of the aliases.

Thanks

[yellow1912]

If you have auto alias on, then when you delete aliases and reset cache they will be regenerated again.

i have install the current SSU newest version.

However, i am thinking that the SSU has some problems with search engine.

1. it make web crawler impossible to crawl my site

regular site, it only takes 1 day before listed on Google, but with SSU, two weeks but no luck..and it's not the first time it happens. i think the problem might be the home page. crawler can not follow the home page...show a redirect error. here is a report from google webmaster tool

again, google webmaster tool report a lot http://xxxxx.com/? or http://xxxxxx.com/?zenid=xxxxxxxx, which spider can not follow the link

[yellow1912]

What you should really look into is: why do you have zenid in your search engine url?

You should check your session setting in your admin first (this is not SSU setting)

BTW, you seem to use an older version of SSU

now i turn stop session for spiders, however, how about listed in google without title and descriptions, they are right there...

Huhm, what do you mean? Are your listing missing title and description? Or you do not want the listing to have that?

In any case, the title and desc are from your pages title and meta tags and have nothing to do with ssu. Once google indexes the pages for a while it will eventually fill in those info.
