Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[yellow1912]

Hi yellow, I really need your help!! i installed ssu 3.6.7. when ssu is turned on and someone purchases a product they get a error saying "There has been an error processing your credit card. Please try again." and the order does not show up in zen cart admin but their credit card is charged. i use quantum gateway as a payment gateway. when ssu is turned off everything works fine.
this is my hta.access file

# -FrontPage-

Which CC module you are using? You can check which "pages" this module is using and EXCLUDE it in the conversion list. Perhaps in the future I will revert SSU behavior so that the store owners will have to specify the "pages" they want to convert to seo links instead. It will be safer that way.

HI YELLOW
First of all, thank you for your great contri. I appriciate for your effort.
Secondly, I have a little trouble with it. I installed Category Dressing and some other add-on. I set to hide the 1st leverl category in Category Dressing. My issue is when I click on the 1st level category, eveything is fine, but when I choose a 2nd level category, everything is gone in category sidebox.

Could you please tell me how can I fix this problem?

Thank you

Errm, you dont seem to have installed the module correctly, why are you having 2 types of link (dynamic/static) working on the same site.

Hi
I just came accross a tool in Google Webmaster Tools that lets me set the site so that Google ignores certain parameters to avoid duplicate content.

To get to this tool log into Google webmaster tools, go to site configuration and then parameter handling.

So im trying to get google to igore the parameters that are still not taken out by SSU

Ive set Google to ignore

cPath
products_id
alpha_filter_id (whats that?)
language
keywords (used when people search the site i assume)
pID
id
zenid
Zenid

Does that sound OK? Have i missed anything?

Fingers crossed this might help my rankings... google says not to worry about dulicate content but many webmasters dont believe it

Thanks!

Up to you, remember that some of the parameters you listed there should not even appear on your links if you installed SSU correctly

[yellow1912]

Should there be a space between RewriteBase and / on the hta.access file and the configure.php file?

Yes, there should be 1 space

Hi
Thanks for the GREAT MOD!!!

There is something i cant understand though

Im getting pages indexed like

category1/product1
category2/product1
category3/product1

Thats duplicate content isnt it? Because its exactly the same page.

How can i get rid of this? Although google say dont worry about dulicate content, many webmasters do think its still bad for google

Could i put something in my sitemap (i use XML sitemap mod which is brilliant) and tell the search engines to ONLY index what is in the sitemap? I dont know if you can do that?

Thanks

Hello,

Can someone explain the exact process that happens when update your SSU links.

I am having some problems with the link generating process. I go into the admin utility that you fix the problem and when I do and hit the category rest cache link it doesn't reset the links correctly.

I have a C category under Alkalines the link currently reads

/Alkalines--c-104 but should read /Alkalines/C. When I fix the link to reflect that it does not take it the url link should be /Alkalines-c-c-104 but for some reason it chages to the former url link that I mentioned.

What is th eproblem and how should I fix it.

Side note.. I set the the status to enabled and permanent to yes when editing categories how I want them to always look even after I reset cache. Also I have no set minimum or maximum lengths set for word or names in cofiguration.

Also how come the bread crubs dont reflect the category path correctly?

[yellow1912]

I suspect you are using linked product right?
If so, it's how it's supposed to be.

First, dont worry about duplicated content in this, Google says it's okie

Second, if you still worry about it, you can use canonical tag, if you would like to use canonical tag with SSU then perhaps you want to try out the new version, contact me for the package.

First of all, I recommend you redownload the package from the site under my sig, upload everything again to make sure you get the latest version.

Second, if you are still missing some configuration fields of SSU, let me know, we may need to trigger the re-installation process of ssu database patch.

Third, post a screenshot of your link manager here
