Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[yellow1912]

Hi, yellow

Thanks for your reply. I used winmerge to compare the htaccess you offer above with my old one and find these 2 are almost identical, you use domain but I use example instead. I noticed that you said the ssu_check.php appears under localhost/ but now my ssu_check.php is under /localhost/hotshoes/ for my site root is there. I will give it a try to see any different.

Regards,

Yes, should be under "hotshoes", my mistake. In anycase tho, remove the www redirection for now (wait till you actually you go online to put it back), does that help? Can you get it working? If not, can you give details of the error?

Huhm, I dont think it will take a "link" which contains query string in it. There is a way around but that has its own drawback:

1. In the excluded query list, take out sort and filter id
2. Now your link will look like this:
paul-smith/sort/20a/filter_id/44

Now you sure can use that for alias

Regards

Thanks Yellow - I tried that but it didn't work...

When I removed the sort and filter_id from the query list and cleared the cache the URL's still looked like

paul-smith?sort=20a&filter_id=44

Here are the current SSU config settings:

File extension
Name delimiter -
ID delimiter -
Set max category level 3
Exclude list advanced_search_result
Set Link Alias Status true
Set minimum word length 0
Set maximum name length 0
Set SSU Status true
Set SSU Multi Language Status false
Set Query Key's Exclude List zenid,gclid,number_of_uploads,number_of_downloads,action,page,disp_order,alpha_f ilter_id,currency
Set Auto Alias Status true
Set Category Separator /
Hide default language identifier false

Thanks again!

Ah yes, I remember now, in the latest version of SSU I have moved most of the default exclude list to a config file because users usually have problem with this field not setting correctly. So after removing those 2 files from the config in admin, you can edit includes/init_includes/init_ssu.php line 28.

I will think about it in the next version to see how to see if there is any way to ensure both convenience and usability

Thanks Yellow - i'm getting there but it's still not working????

I edit the init_ssu.php file and removed the filters from the exlcude list and that worked fine, URL's now look like:

paul-smith/sort/20a/filter_id/44

But having put that into the alias manager like so:

LINK: paul-smith/sort/20a/filter_id/44
ALAIS: paul-smith/t-shirts (or even paul-smith-t-shirts)

and clearing the cache it still shows paul-smith/sort/20a/filter_id/44 and not the alias?????

[yellow1912]

Have your cleared SSU cache?

[twdhosting]

Have your cleared SSU cache?

Yep - tried "clear alias cache" and "clear all cache" - still the same...

Huhm, interesting. I wonder why it doesnt work. 1 thing to make sure is that the "alias" should be enabled. If you want, you can create a temp admin login for me and I can peek in there for you.

Thanks Yellow - you have a PM :)

You cant do a double redirection, you already have

/paul-smith/ set as alias of /paul-smith-manufacturer-19/
You cannot set paul-smith/sort/20a/filter_id/44 -> /paul-smith/tshirts

Setting /paul-smith-manufacturer-19/sort/20a/filter_id/44 -> /paul-smith/tshirts will give you the effect you desire.

Thanks Yellow - your a star :)
