Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[yellow1912]

i see this as a really good extension, the person who made it put a lot in for the community

But the documentation is terrible, you have to go throught 300+ pages of people asking a lot of the same questions to find your answers.

The readme file in the package, sends you to broken documentation link. And the documentation that is there doesnt tell you anything about how to configure this after youve installed it, and why you shouldnt have a file extenstion on your links or anything!!!

Thanks for the great contribution but with better documentation you could save thousands of man hours work for people trying to figure out the answers!

Again, the links are NOT broken. All the doc links are working. If you cant visit them, try again.
Im sorry if it doesnt help you, but frankly speaking I spent over a year for this module already, so dont blame me for not putting enough effort into it. If you want, why dont you go ahead and help me with the doc? Dont complain, do something. How about paying me to do it? Sorry if I sound angry but frankly speaking Im doing it out of my own time (and my money).

Hi
Sorry i didnt mean to sound rude.
What I meant was youve obviously done a lot, put in a LOT of work for this which is great and you have one of the best contributions. But the docs fall short and dont explain what to do when its all installed and pros and cons of different settings you have to trawl through 300 pages of peoples questions when a couple of pages of well written docs or Q&A would answer most of those.

Thank you very much for this contribution and I am very grateful for it

Hi,

I installed Simple SEO URL and it seems to be working, the only problem is that the pages for products are not styled because the pages are not correctly referencing the CSS files. I figured out that it is doing this because the relative path to the stylesheets are now incorrect because of the module adding another directory for the category - here's an example:

http://primealternatives.com.au/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=77

becomes:

http://primealternatives.com.au/cart/categories_name-c-4/prime-electric-treatment-table-p-77

So the new directory ('/categories_name-c-4') is causing the product pages to reference the incorrect path for the CSS files.
Other people seem to have experienced this problem, but searching this long thread, I can't seem to find a solution. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

Thanks

Your template is missing the base href in the header

yellow1912, you just resolved my problem.

The person who set up Zen Cart (my predecessor) had commented out the line...

<base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG : HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG ); ?>" />

...in the html_header.php file. Do you know why he would have done that? He didn't leave any comments.

Anyway, thanks for your help. Now I can see how excellent your add on is. Very good work.

a-c

but if the product name is
d'c

c

Not sure why, very bad practice indeed. I cant think of a reason to comment it out (yet)

Hi, you installed this mod for me a while ago but since then I have gone from a shared SSL to a dedicated one and it is causing problems. Can you tell me how to fix it?

If it has been a while, first I suggest upgrading the module (this is optional, not a must)

But to solve it, it is easy:
You need to go you yoursite.com/ssu_check.php (if you deleted it, download the newest version and upload only that file to your site). Visit that file via your browser and you will see the suggested htaccess for your site, then edit your .htaccess file accordingly
