Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[modmuse]

This has been mentioned before, and it is indeed easy to fix by simple "encode" the url output. I believe the fix has been posted in this thread, I know this thread is long so perhaps you could wait till next version where the fix is included. Note that this so called "error" will NOT affect your site in anyway, guaranteed!

Gotcha. I did a search within this thread and found my solution on Page 250...

Went to includes/classes/ssu/cores/links.php and replaced this line:

$link .= (strpos($link , '?') ? '&' : '?').$sid;

with this line:

$link = str_replace('&', '&', $link);

(appears right before return $link;)

Now everything appears to validate again.

Hi

So when i install SSU into zencart 1.3.8a I overwrite the html output file... however that file was overwritten by the recent PATCH, the security patch for June 09

Your instructions state I can simply overwrite this file for 1.3.8...
you say


B. if you are NOT using Zencart 1.3.8a, it's safer to not upload includes/functions/html_output.php but to do this: Open your current includes/functions/html_output.php


So.... is that still up to date? Because the recent (June) security patch replaced that file.

So if i just upload over it, am i killing the security patch and making my site insecure??

If i AM using 1.3.8a can i still do it manually by etiting the html output file with

*
find the function zen_href_link
*
find this line:

global $request_type, $session_started, $http_domain, $https_domain;

Insert these lines below that line:

//bof simple seo url
global $ssu;
if(is_object($ssu) && ($link = $ssu->ssu_link($page, $parameters, $connection, $add_session_id, $search_engine_safe, $static, $use_dir_ws_catalog))!= false) return $link;
//eof simple seo url



Thanks!!!

You can do a manual edit.

The recent admin security patch overwrites the ADMIN/includes/functions/html_output.php not the includes/functions/html_output.php that SSU overwrites......

I apologize if this is a stupid question - I tried searching, but don't know what words to search for and couldn't find anything.

I set up SSU twice (the person moved the site and I had to set it up again!). The thing is, I don't see how to set it up in Admin. When I go to Admin -> Configuration -> SSU, I see a whole bunch of "reset" links and then a button to add a new alias. When I click on that, I get /default_link/ under Links and /default_alias/ under Aliases. I don't know what to do here. Am I missing something? I read the installation instructions and a lot of the support thread and feel like a total idiot, but I am lost. Any help would really be appreciated.

Thank you!

1. Make sure you follow the note here, also make sure you get the package from the link specified there
http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zen...u/installation

2. I think you are mistaken, from what you have described, you are visiting admin->extras->ssu manager, not the configuration one.

Under configuration there are several settings which you can learn about them here:

Thank you for the reply.

I did follow those links. I downloaded the module manager from that page - is that what you mean by "package"? I also have the latest version of SSU.

When I go to Admin -> Extras -> SSU Manager, I get this:

Instruction
SSU caches your categories/products names and links in order to reduce the number of sql queries and minimize the performance penalty on your server. That has its drawback, however. If you change your categories/products names, you will need to reset the cache to force SSU reload and update the names.
Cache Functions Reset all cache: Click here
Reset alias cache: Click here
Reset only products cache: Click here
Reset only categories cache: Click here
Reset only pages cache: Click here
Alias Functions Manage Aliases: Click here

When I go to Admin -> Configuration, there is no SSU in the drop down, so I click on Configuration and go to SSU Manager under Extras, I get the same thing.

Great!
I got this installed, turned on auto alias and alias.

I made some ezy pages and put manual alias in for them.

Next I want to get it with the php file extension but i cant get it to work, i went to admin confiv ssu and tried both php and .php as the extension but it doesnt work!

It says i should leave it blank and not have an extension... why is that?

Any idea?

Thanks!

... update

I just deleted all of the aliases... then i changed to php extension, reset the main cache. I brought every product on the screen so that it makes the aliases. Still - no good link for easy pages (i have to make my own manual alias for that right.. ok no problem) but the products have a decent link but no file extension.... so theres no way google will index a link without a file extension. So leaving auto alias and manual alias on i have to manually put the file exension in for every product?

Sorry for the questions i couldnt find any documentation to answer these questions

5thanks
