The file you get should be 3.7.1 (I just havent updated the name, but now you should see it says that now (and also you should see that in your package, in admin/includes/module_installation/yellow1912_ssu/current_version.txt

Yes indeed, it's "16|Beta 3.7.1" but the problem with the over and over rewriting still existing unless I modify the file config.php and not local.config.php

I think I'm going to stay like this and think to migrate to another solution for the website if my boss is okay with it.

Big thanks for your help :) see ya

Several things:
1. if you are running 1.3.8 you should be able to ask if your host have php5 available. The switch takes several minutes and totally safe.

2. if you see the 404 page, one possible problem is that you either incorrectly configure your .htaccess file or your host does not support mod_rewrite. You will have to check this out with your host.

Thanks for your help --

I do have almost everything working, except for one category on my site. All the other category links work, as well as contact us, etc., but when I click on the one category I get the following error:

Multiple Choices

The document name you requested (/index.php) could not be found on this server. However, we found documents with names similar to the one you requested.
Available documents:

/index.html?/category-name-c-1 (common basename)
Please consider informing the owner of the referring page about the broken link.

Any ideas?

Hey Guys,
Thank god i found this support thread, this is the only place in zencart forum where there is a mention of Simple SEO URL, i have 2 questions, i managed to install the module and i believe it works fine since all my categories are now using new aliases instead of the old php URLs which consisted of IDs and Cpath,
1) i was wondering if there is a quick way, besides aliasing, to change the last alphabets of my products URL, which is usually in this format category1/line-e-2-p-34 ; category2/line-e-23-p-145 ; etc, i wanted to get rid of p-34 and p-145 and i wanted a quicker way than changing the aliases for more than 300 products, but if there isnt i'll just do it the alias way,
2) My second question is how do u get a zen cart website to rank in google and other SEO engines? is there some sort of step-by-step way to follow, or i need to just get a seo book or sth and read it?
Tnx guys for your help,
Joe

@planatgenetYour problem was that when the es.php file is uploaded, it was not uploaded with the right encoding (I suppose on some ftp clients there may be some settings that need to be set to upload file with utf8 content correctly

If you use our latest versions (version 3.5 and up) you will see that SSU can automatically create such aliases for you.

regarding seo questions, seomoz.org is a good start to learn about it.
