Hi J-A-J-O

Sounds like the same problem I had with simple seo url Ver3.8.0. with the original zencart links showing in the status bar, I also have SitemapXML 2.1 installed and the original zencart links were listed here also. I resorted to downgrading to simple seo url version 3.5.8 as I already had 3 sites working fine with this version, as soon as I did this the sitemap and all the urls were working ok, so I'll stick with this for now.

To downgrade the simple seo url mod I found I had to first reinitialise module manager, I used this method after a few failed attempts

In Cpanel - phpMyAdmin select the Zencart database
Select and delete the Table: zen_module_version_tracker

Find the file install.sql in the module manager files directory - \ admin \ includes \ module_installation

In Zen Cart admin under Tools\Install SQL Patches run the SQL query from the install.sql file

Run this sql script to uninstall the database portion of simple seo url

SET @t4=0;
SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Simple SEO URL';
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS links_aliases;Upload simple seo url version 3-5-8 mod files to server

Module Manager should now see and install seo url version 3-5-8

Hope this helps

Thanks for advice, but ssu 3.8.1 gives me all nice links, without categories id's or products id's, earlier versions was not.

I gave my ftp details to Raine from rubikintegration team, he says that he will see for resolution.

Soonest I will know what was wrong I will post on the forum

Hi J-A-J-O
Yes the better SEO links in ssu 3.8.1 are what I need to, as I have the same problem with the sitemap urls I look forward to finding the solution
Thanks

Any chance the rel="canonical" tag is going to get implemented in this module? Would be a huge benefit IMO.

Hi J.A.J.O.
Got a prompt reply from Raine at RubikIntegration regarding non seo urls in sitemap when using SitemapXML and the Simple SEO URL's mod. The problem is now fixed by downloading the latest SSU package (version 3.8.3) from the site, upgrade and then make sure to CLEAR the browser session's cache before trying. Also please clear the sitemap xml files and it should the work correctly.

Have a question...

If URL formatting is changed, such as in the case of the post above this one, will the new site map take care of past links? Meaning, sites already listed, will they be lost? Or will they at least redirect correctly if a customer uses the old URLs that might be listed on search engines?

Upgraded to 3.8.3 from 2.9 and everything went fine. Aliases working fine but can't get the manufacturer to show in the link.

I set "local.config.php" as below:

-----------------------------

<?php
/**
* @package Pages
* @copyright Copyright 2003-2006 Zen Cart Development Team
* @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce

* @version $Id: local.config.php.example 272 2009-11-09 17:34:36Z yellow1912 $
*/
	

$ssuLocalConfig = array(
'plugins'        =>    array('parsers'    =>    array('manufacturers')
                            ),
 
    'identifiers'    =>    array('manufacturers'    =>    'manufacturer')
);

------------------------------

I cleared the cache but no joy.

Site is: www.tlracks.com and zencart 1.3.8a.

Any ideas most appreciated!

Thanks

Unfortunetly rubikintegration team couldn't fix my problem, so I told my admin to fix sitemap links, he did it, but yesterday I've occured strange problems with my site, some sideboxes were missing, I couldn't log in to admin, I couldn't download any file from my ftp via web browser (zencart was telling that adress couldn't been found). So i decided do install new 3.8.3, problems had gone away, but sitemaps are now not generated correctly. On monday I will told my admin to fix it again (he did something with sitemapxml.php file) and i will attach that file.

I've forgotten to say that I've also reinstalled Sitemaps XML so I've got original version of this mod installed now together with original SSU 3.8.3, and sitemaps are not even generating now
