Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[franzmeyer]

Hi Yellow

I have reviewed my .htaccess file that is in the directory /Store. The file is as follows:

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /Store/

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

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

#### EOF SSU


I hope you could help me out with this problem. I still having the same problem.

Regards

Hi, I have found a tread that talk about the same problem, I am having the problem with the homepage and I am using a Windows server, so I think the .htaccess doesnt work. I searched for a solution in the thread.

Any ideas?

OK, another question

Is it possible to somehow remove the "c-2" "p-527" after the friendly URL ends?

to have www . zen-cart-shop. com/laptops/toshiba-xyz

instead of now having www . zen-cart-shop. com/laptops-c-2/toshiba-xyz-p-124


thanks for the answers

IIS server may not support htaccess

Gomlers, yes you can.

First, assuming the language code for Norwegian is "no" (please check, Im not sure)

Create a file named no.php

Put it in includes/classes/ssu/plugins/languages/

Now, for the content of the file, put it:
(make sure this php file is utf8 encoded)

<?php

    // note: we can later move part of this function into sub-functions, which we can store in the base class.
class SSULanguageNo extends SSULanguage{
    static function parseName($name){
        $cyrillic = array("æ",  "ø",  "å");
           
        $translit = array("ae", "o", "a");
        
        $name = str_replace($cyrillic, $translit, $name);
        
        $name = strtolower($name);
   
        // we replace any non alpha numeric characters by the name delimiter
        $name = self::removeNonAlphaNumeric($name, SSUConfig::registry('delimiters', 'name'));
        
        // Remove short words first
        $name = self::removeShortWords($name, SSUConfig::registry('configs', 'minimum_word_length'), SSUConfig::registry('delimiters', 'name'));
        
        // trim the sentence
        $name = self::trimLongName($name);
                
        // remove excess SSUConfig::registry('delimiters', 'name')
        $name = self::removeDelimiter($name);
        
        // remove identifiers
        $name = self::removeIdentifiers($name);
        
        // remove trailing _
        $name = trim($name, SSUConfig::registry('delimiters', 'name'));
        
        return urlencode($name);    
    }
}

Then rename local.config.php.example in includes/classes/ssu/ to local.config.php and edit it:

<?php
/**
* @package Pages
* @copyright Copyright 2003-2006 Zen Cart Development Team
* @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce
* @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0
* @version $Id: local.config.php.example 149 2009-03-04 05:23:35Z yellow1912 $
*/
    
    $ssuLocalConfig = array(      
        'languages'        =>    array(    'no'    =>    'no'
                                    )
    );

Then go to Admin->Extras->SSU Manager to clear out the cache then check your links again.
Troubleshooting:
1. Make sure the first file is uploaded with utf8 encode
2. Make sure the language code is correct (this is easy, in the normal form Zencart language links look like this: index.php?.......&language=language_code
More info:
http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zen...our_own_parser

Note that I assume the language code is "no"

Hello. I have the same problem as mr. from Norway up there. I did everything as you mentioned above, but the SSU works, however Slovenian language does NOT. For all the special characters I get "-" instead of the letter.

Here's the UTF-8 encoded

/includes/classes/ssu/plugins/languages/si.php

*/
    // note: we can later move part of this function into sub-functions, which we can store in the base class.
class SSULanguageSi extends SSULanguage{
    static function parseName($name){
        $cyrillic = array("č",  "Č",  "Š",  "š",  "Ž",  "ž",  "Ć",  "ć");
           
        $translit = array("c",  "C",  "S",  "s",  "Z",  "z",  "C",  "c");
        
        $name = str_replace($cyrillic, $translit, $name);
        
        $name = strtolower($name);
   
        // we replace any non alpha numeric characters by the name delimiter
        $name = self::removeNonAlphaNumeric($name, SSUConfig::registry('delimiters', 'name'));
        
        // Remove short words first
        $name = self::removeShortWords($name, SSUConfig::registry('configs', 'minimum_word_length'), SSUConfig::registry('delimiters', 'name'));
        
        // trim the sentence
        $name = self::trimLongName($name);
                
        // remove excess SSUConfig::registry('delimiters', 'name')
        $name = self::removeDelimiter($name);
        
        // remove identifiers
        $name = self::removeIdentifiers($name);
        
        // remove trailing _
        $name = trim($name, SSUConfig::registry('delimiters', 'name'));
        
        return urlencode($name);    
    }
}

and here's the includes/classes/ssu/local.config.php

    $ssuLocalConfig = array(      
        'languages'        =>    array(    'si'    =>    'si'
                                    )
    );

I cleared the cache also after the modification, but still doesn't work.

check my WEBSITE where I'm trying to fix it... click on the "Platišča" for instance, and you'll see..

I'm having this problem myself--URLs are not getting re-written in the source & I can't figure out why. Its producing unmodified query strings in my source instead of the new alias URLs. The 301 redirects are working to the new URLs but that's it.

Installed Simple seo URL beta 3.7.1: Everything works perfectly (almost)
The Issue: URLS are not rewritten in my HTML output source code!


I have read all documentation many many times, looked over all instructions--
I have studied this thread as well, but I cannot find the answer.

Yellow: Can you help me? (Please )

Hi, great mod thanks.

I have a quirky issue. When I try to go to my home page, www.clearlyoptics.com I get redirected to www.clearlyoptics.com/index/index_php.

Is there some way to fix this? does this sound like an .htaccess problem or an issue at my hosting level?

Thanks
