Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Getting a blank page on ssu.php, does this mod work for 1.3.9d?

[sports guy]

Mine is working on the front end. But if I click on: Extras, Simple SEO URL Manager, then this URL: http://www.MYDOMAIN.com/MYADMIN/ssu.php shows a blank page.

Now, if I click on: Configuration, Simple SEO URL, then I can configure (after a half-an-hour and my cache cleared).

I Don't understand why one configuration page shows and another does not. Any ideas?

Question: Does SSU eliminate the need for meta tags in ZC? I have approximately 3300 products I need to create meta tags for but if using SSU and meta tags together is overkill (as far as the search engines are concerned) I won't spend the (a great deal of) time on the meta tags. Or does SSU simply create a product name link (alone and unrelated to meta tags) in a more useable and readable form?

Thanks....

Even though Zen Cart does create meta tags on the fly. It is a good idea to create them manually. I have 160K products and each one of them has it's own hand written (template) Meta Tags. I noticed 1000% increase in sales after a few months (along with other things that I have done).
SSU is good but after testing having good content and good meta tags would reward you a lot more than SSU as far as SEO.

Thanks, Cool Car, for that and your point is well taken. It does make sense and anything I can do to promote sales will be a plus. I use Easy Populate Advanced which helps with the importing/exporting of meta tags. Unfortunately it won't write them for you.... Guess there's no easy way other than starting to peck away to get them done and in place. Thanks again.

I am also running 1.3.9d and get a blank page in the admin at /ssu.php

Everything else seems to be working fine, but I can't set up any link aliases without being able to go to this configuration page.

Make sure you have the most recent version of SSU and Module Manager. I know I had issues because I didn't have the current version of Module Manager. Unfortunately you have to get these from the author's website as they are not keeping the mods in the Downloads area current. Which is really annoying I might add.

You might also try peeking at your debug log in the cache folder to see if it tells you what error is causing the blank page.


On a side note...I still have not been able to edit the Manufaturers Aliases. So if someone can help me that would much appreciated.

Yes Post your debug log in the cache folder here.

Aha, perfect! I had the latest SSU, but didn't realize I needed to track down Module Manager as well - I uploaded the new MM files and we're all set. This site doesn't use manufacturers, so I'm afraid I'm no help with that. Thank you!

Glad it worked! I know I was ripping my hair out about it when it happened to me.

I just use the addon for my new jewelry site you can check http://www.silverjewelryeshop.com/.
when you check the products_new or products_all or search resulted page, you will find the url and product info for that product have not contain the category name. it seem it can read correctly category name.
