Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[giuly]

Hi
I have a problem, I have about 1300 products, and yesterday I upload 4 products, but when I go on
Extra>ssu manager
and reset all or only products I see a white page, so the product name remains
www.mysite.com/categories/product-name-1357.html and so not the exact name of product, but the generic name product name, how can I do?

[giuly]

if I delete the content of the folder of cache/ssu/products is the same?

Noticed this the other day. On my manufacturers pages the links are getting mangled. Check out: http://buydentalequipment.com/cart/i...facturers_id/2

For each item there are three links to the product page the title, the more info and the details button. The title and details button get the wrong URL IE:
http://buydentalequipment.com/cart/a...kcp-1000-p-974

You can see the 'manufacturers_id/2/' in there which is messing it up. The correct link is:
http://buydentalequipment.com/cart/a...kcp-1000-p-974

I tried shutting off SSEO and it seemed to work fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Alright I've made some progress on this and a possible fix. Unsure if this was a weird problem with SSU or my template. The culprit turned out to be in the file:

http://buydentalequipment.com/cart/i...ar_display.txt

At around line 50 there exists the following code:

        case 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME':
         if (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id'])) {
          $list_box_contents[$rows]['name'] = $listing->fields['products_name'];
		 //$list_box_contents[$rows]['but'] = zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'manufacturers_id=' . $_GET['manufacturers_id'] . '&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']);
		 $list_box_contents[$rows]['but'] = zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), ($cPath ? 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']);
         } else {
          $list_box_contents[$rows]['name'] = $listing->fields['products_name'];
		 $list_box_contents[$rows]['but'] = zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), ($cPath ? 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']);		   
         }
         $list_box_contents[$rows]['description'] = zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION);
         break;

You can see the bad line which I commented out and replaced with the line below the else which seemed to fix the issue.

But I'm not totally happy with my fix, unsure what I'm messing with here and why it was messed up in the first place. Did I just lose some functionality?

Thank you for your time,

Is this Simple SEO compatible with sitemapxml_formerly_google_sitemap_2-1-0?

I have noticed that the XML produced for the sitemap points to the Pre-Simple SEO URLs not the modified ones.

Thanks

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.

I am using QuantumGateway SIM module. Where is the conversion list to exclude it and how do I find which pages the module is using to exclude it?

IIS server may not support htaccess

IIS DOES NOT support Htaccess... you will need to modify the add-on to work with ISAPI rewrite.... google for Helicon ISAPI rewrite... but first you need to install and configure the ISAPI add-on... and unless u know what your doing this can be a pain in the bum !

The safest way is to exclude all pages related to payment process, that includes but not limited to: checkout_shipping, checkout_process, checkout_payment, checkout_success. The use if exclude list can be found on the wiki.

Also, I will repeat it 1 more time: SSU does NOT generate links that look like this:
www.mysite.com/categories/product-name-1357.html
It never generate a product link with html extension, not now and probably not in the future.

@llynix: honestly I think it is a good fix unless you need to use the manufacturer id on the link somewhere in your product info code.

I am using multisite and simple SEO all works great except I get this every once in awhile

/categories_name-c-0/products-name-p-18

and of course the page says "Sorry, the product was not found."

How do I fix it?

[johnnylazerball]

Tried a work around and had some success
