Thanks,

When my home page has the ?gclid= parameter added to it - www.beltbuckle.com?gclid=12314dfg, a redirect loop is triggered. The gclid value is in the query exlude list. My .htaccess file is as follows:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "zencart" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change

to: RewriteBase /
RewriteBase /

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

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

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z.]+)?beltbuckle\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://www.%1beltbuckle.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Any ideas what is causing this? Am I missing a something in the .htaccess file or a configuration setting? The query string doesn't cause anything to act up on any other page. For example, http://www.beltbuckle.com/stainless-...clid=123efdgf4, works just fine.

One problem is that after you have rewritten the incoming URL request to an internal filepath to serve the content, you then invoke an external redirect which will expose that internal filepath back on to the web as a URL.

The fix is incredibly simple, list the external redirect before the internal rewrite.

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On

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

# External Redirect
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z.]+)?beltbuckle\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://www.%1beltbuckle.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

# Internal Rewrite to Serve Content
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(jpe?g|gif|png|css|js|zip)$
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]

There might still be other problems with this new code, but the old code could never be made to work if the directives remain in the wrong order. This new order is correct.

The -f and -d "exists" checks are also brutally inefficient. You should at least add another preceding RewriteCond checking that the incoming request isn't for any image, CSS or JS file.

Does the latest version work with Zen 1.3.5?

I have two Zen stores and this script is failing one after another, I don't know why. The first store couldn't checkout, I had to turn off simple SEO in order to work. Now the second store is doing the same thing (and I even forgot how to turn simple SEO off!).

Hi,
I've just tried to install Simple SEO URL version 3.5.8 onto my server.
I have upgraded my server to PHP5 and installed the module manager.

When I click on "Extras' - 'Simple SEO URL Manager' I just get a blank Screen.

We are running Zen Cart v1.3.8a/v1.3.8
When I enable the SSU using Admin - Configuration - Simple SEO URL
The URLs change, but the pages all go blank on the website.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Please help.

My Website is http://www.harmonikireland.com/shop

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It appears that nobody is monitoring this thread? I have a similar problem as mentioned above....

When I go to Admin/Extras/SSU Manager I get a blank screen. But for me, fiddling around in the Admin/Config/SSU does nothing. None of my URLs get rewritten.

Victoria, I'm not sure if this will help you, but try going to: http://yoursite/ssu_check.php

I think you have to paste that into your .htaccess file. Dollar says it fixes your problem. Bloody shame nobody seems to be helpful with this thing.

I am running 1.3.9b.

I made the mistake of following the directions in the SSU mod and downloading the latest Module Manager. I wasted about 3 hours reading thru support threads before I decided to just download the version available here in Zen-Cart.com's download section.

*PRESTO* It worked right away. <<BTW, if you have to do this, please note that you will have delete a table that the other version inserted into your db. Just use phpMyAdmin in your cpanel to find the table (I can't remember its name) and tell it to DROP>>

I wasted all my time on that newest version of the Mod Mgr because of the instructions I followed to find it. The same instructions told me to go download the latest SSU mod, v3.8.4.

Now everything is in CORRECTLY (checked a dozen times) and I am getting this blank screen. So I check the cache for myDEBUG errors and I found a few. Here they are:

I'm not a programmer, so I have no idea what that means. I'm hoping some kind soul will pop in and take a look at this post.

Failing that, tomorrow morning I will revert to my backup, reinstall the Mod Mgr (I forgot to backup after that success!), then install the older version of SSU that is publicly available here in the download section (v3.5.8).

My current thought is one of two things is occurring:
1. Mods available on Zen-Cart.com are more properly vetted, therefore a much safer bet.
2. Most likely, the "latest" versions that can be found by wandering aimlessly down the path of broken links and obscured path provided, have simply not been tested on 139b yet.

If my effort to install the older version of SSU (v3.5.8 instead of v3.8.4) fails, then I will suppose that SSU simply does not work for zc139b yet and I will install Ultimate SEO URLs.

Having read thru this and other threads (including threads about that Mod Mgr that SSU demands be installed), I see a lot of desperate people out there. I will report back in case somebody follows down this same path.

Dear SP and other ZC members,

This module is kind of my personal contribution to the great ZC community. Due to my personal work life (I have recently moved to Japan and will stay here for a about 6 months), it has been really busy for me so I don't have much time to visit the Zencart forum anymore. In the mean time I won't be able to provide on-time support with non-bug problems here on the forum. (this goes for all the modules I have here).

If there is a serious bug with the module, please feel free to go to our website at rubikintegration.com and shoot me an email.

I will be back here as soon as I can.

Regards

Raine

Thanks for sharing that letter, I missed that somehow as I scoured the web!

I really don't want to bother the guy and I have a fast moving situation anyway. Seems like he created a pretty spectacular piece of software once upon a time. If he has moved on, I don't want to drag him back!

Instead, I will install the older version today. I will report back (here and on other threads) to help anyone who later stumbles along.

Because this one is no longer supported, I will also install Ultimate URLs on a parallel staging site. Both sites are 139b.

Suggest Ceons URI as a better app to parallel test.. Ultimate URLs has been a nearly abandoned and troubled mod for sometime now..
