Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

In short, future version will support it. But right now if you want to do it, yes you can. You can always do that easily by getting the default url of the products, if you simply pass in the products id without the cpath (into zen_hraf_link) you will always get the default url.

Yellow what do you suggest for a temporary solution for right now. Will this work or do you suggest something else. Thank you

hi again,
sorry Yellow for bothering you so much but reseting Master Category Id did not help either. I installed a fresh Zen cart and only put inside Russian language and ssu, still I got the same problem. Any ideas???/
THANK YOU!!!

Honestly, I have no idea unless I see your installation myself. We have installed this module for many russian, french, etc... sites and we have no problem with it. if you only see -c-19 without the name for example, more than likely your installation is messed up.

Thanks for pointing that out. For the 3 issues I am not sure what to do. I know google is not indexing all my pages. Out of 2189 pages they are indexing something like 419


Before you rush to your ftp client to apply the new code, I have a big warning for you: the code suggested there should NOT be used, in my opinion.

Just a note, Google 99% of the time will not index all your links, so to make sure Google indexes your most important pages is a SEO art (which can be learned, of course)

http://www.seomoz.org/ is the right place for you to learn all that sort of things.

But in short, you want to make sure you want to present the most important links to the search engines FIRST. For example, if you have some links that the search engines need to go through several sub-pages to grab them then the chances are high that they can be ignored. A good example in our case is:

Home page -> category -> sub cat level 1 -> sub cat level 2 -> then go to page 12 of the category listing page -> product link

You can see in our case the search engines need to go through more than 10 pages to eventually get to our product page.
(think of how you normally go to this specific product, search engines have to do the same, and they can't use the search feature btw)

Thanks for the reply yellow. IT does make absolute sense that something must be wrong with my html_output.php if my URLs are not being re-written internally. As always, you're amazing, thank you so much for writing this mod. I really think Zen Cart needs to make this mod part of their standard cart in the future (once this mod is done). In fact, maybe they should hire you! :)
