Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[gmrm]

Sorry for spamming all these messages but i am encountering problems . I have noticed that there is a lot of duplicate content made by the ssu mod and it might be that i have not done something right.

e.g

all manufacturers have 2 links which are the same page

http://fishingtackleoxford.co.uk/ind...acturers_id/10
http://fishingtackleoxford.co.uk/richworth

what do i need to do to get rid of the index/manufacturers_id/

????

many thanks

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.

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

I too have a problem with using Simple SEO URL mod with PayPal IPN. Looks like the money gets transferred, but no order confirmation emails to the buyer or merchant from ZenCart. Confirmation emails from Paypal does get to buyer and seller. And the order does not show up on admin interface. The record does show in the IPN records (if you look there).

One syptom of the problem is that
http://www.example.com/ipn_main_handler.php is coming up blank page as oppose to saying "Nothing to process. Please return to home page." (as it supposed to in 1.3.8)

So, I had removed the mod by ...

To remove SEO URL module, I did the following...

1. Remove the mod re-write code from .htaccess

2. Remove these lines from includes/functions/html_output.php. Do NOT remove the file.

//bof simple seo url
global $ssu;
if(($link = $ssu->ssu_link($page, $parameters, $connection, $add_session_id, $search_engine_safe, $static, $use_dir_ws_catalog))!= false) return $link;
//eof simple seo url

2. You can remove all the other files that you have uploaded for the modules. And can remove the "admin/includes/module_installation" folder and "admin/includes/templates" folder if you don't have any other things in it.

3. Remove table links_aliases (if not using for anything else)

4. If you are also removing "module manager module" you can remove table module_version_tracker

5. Remove records with the following keys from configuration table:

SSU_ID_DELIMITER, SSU_MAX_LEVEL, SSU_EXCLUDE_LIST, SSU_LINK_ALIAS,
SSU_MINIMUM_WORD_LENGTH, SSU_MAX_NAME_LENGTH.

6. Remove the record with the values "Simple SEO URL" from configuration_group table.

The removal sequence worked for me.

Worked for me too however I had 15 Keys in the configuration table that I had to delete....... Thanks for the post

@gmrm:

Where is this setting located in Plesk, or is parrallels plesk a supplement to plesk?

To anyone else who gets this problem where apache is creating files. I looked in parrallels plesk and found that php support was running as apache module.

Nevermind about the "parallels" portion of the question. I see this must be your server host. I am still curious where this setting is in Plesk though.

Hi Yellow, I have seen several user is having the problem like mine,

Failed: 1
Error ERROR: Cannot create table module_version_tracker because it already exists
Warning Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.
Error Failed to set up version tracker table

and you have suggested to this solution

TROUBLESHOOTING: After installing itself, this module writes a file named ".keep" in admin\includes\module_installation, if your server doesnt allow it to do so, it may make the module attempting to install itself everytime. The fix is easy though, just manually create a .keep file there (after the module has already installed itself, of course)

Can you elaborate on how to create a .keep file manually? What is the software needed to create the .keep file? And what should be the name for the .keep file?

I have been stucked for quite some time and really hope you could help. TQ

You can use Notepad to create the file. Create a new blank file and save it with the name .keep

Thank you for the reply. I have created a file with the name .keep . So now the whole file with its extension is ".keep.txt" . Is this the correct way? I have uploaded this file to admin\includes\module_installation but i am still getting the warning message like this

Can you point out what have I done incorrectly?

your filename is wrong.. you need to rename it and remove the .txt extension. The filename should be .keep NOT .keep.txt
