Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[yellow1912]

Hi Yellow..

Yes i have mod-rewrite, i can get MODx SEO to work but thats all built in (for idiots like me)

I'll have another bash... my htaccess is identical to the one in the docs.
maybe a beer will focus my mind!

I'll give it a few more days then i think will have to pay you as I'm clearly crap:)


(you have to admit tho.. i bet im the first to not have it turned on and ask why its not working,, hahaha)

Make sure you change RewriteBase, the default is /zencart/ which is not correct for most stores.

Uhm, are you referring to the previous post? Why not just create a new define page where you can list all your categories?

For example, you can create a new define page called "products" if you like, in this page you list all your categories

I made a new page, but I'm having trouble adding the categories to a define page... Do you know what templates and variables / function are involved? I will post my answer here for others with the Simple SEO / cPath=0 issue.

[yellow1912]

Sure,

Do you want to display all categories or just the top level categories?

[edwardtilbury]

just the top level ones, basically what I would get it if I was going to the url of:

index.php?main_page=index&cPath=0

I tried to figure it out on my own, but these categories , functions and classes are above my basic php knowledge.

I have the new page added, all I need is the php to insert. :)


THANKS

Sure,

actually, you know what might be easier, if you comment or add code to skip the forwarding of index.php?main_page=index&cPath=0 to the index page.

I don't really understand it the code that causes this, but for you it might be very easy since you put it all together, thanks for the help

sounds like a htaccess problem... i had that type of error too

copy and paste this below

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "zencart" to the subfolder you install ZC. # If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase /
RewriteBase /

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU

Check with your host if this doesnt work, i required an additional line to suit their systems

Hi Yellow...

I have followed the instructions... but i dont know if i have followed them right.

I changed my config files for both to read
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/var/www/html/cache/ssu');

I this right or WORNG and BAD and EVIL? eitherway it caused alias to work.. but only for pages i set before an alias too before changing the config files. Aliases i created after this change did not take effect. Also any new catagories and products i created didnt appear in Admin>Extras> SSU mrg for me to assign aliases too.

so i set both config back to
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/var/www/html/cache/');

and ALL aliases that did work vanished.


so i then went to Admin>Configuration>SSU
Set Auto Alias Status = Ture

then the aliases i created earlier started to work! woohoo i thought

so i created a few more new products... went to Admin>Extra>SSU Mrg.. set the alias etc..

and now i get this on all new aliases set

i am using 1.3.8a with latest patch

im really stuck now...

Hi
I have installed SSU and have noticed a significant drop in conversions.

I am using PayPal


I am using the latest version of SSU and have PHP5.



Are there any issues with PayPal IPN module - the one that comes bundled with ZC.

If so can you advise how to fix this.

I cant find any problems myself, ive gone through checkout and it seems to be working but when i turn OFF SSU i get more conversions (as a percentage of visitors who come to my site)

Thanks
