Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[Nintendoparts]

Thanks yet again for all the help.

Not really, that is how it should work.

When you visit the site for the first time the session starts and thus you see zenid in there (note that this shows for only real users, not search engine bots, also by first time I mean everytime you open your browser and go to your site)

When I visit my site my zenid is hanging around even when I click on different products and/or pages. The zenid is the same, so it's not registering a new session, it just keeps adding the same zenid to all subsequent pages. But if I click on the home button an then browse around my site the zenid disappears.

I checked that Configuration>Sessions>Prevent Spider Sessions set to True, as I've read in other threads this is supposed to prevent zenid from being displayed.
I've read a few other threads, with nothing describing this exact problem.

SSU actually relies on Zencart code to add zenid to the end of the link if needs to.

The behavior you describe when clicking on the homepage link and then the zenid is removed is correct. I'm not sure why for other pages it is behaving differently though. There are a bunches of settings regarding the zenid, you may want to paste your current settings here. In any case tho, this issue relates to zencart settings rather than SSU

My session settings are:
Session Directory /home2/ndsparts/public_html/cache
Cookie Domain True
Force Cookie Use False
Check SSL Session ID False
Check User Agent False
Check IP Address False
Prevent Spider Sessions True
Recreate Session True
IP to Host Conversion Status True

I don't thing the Session Directory /home2/ndsparts/public_html/cache is correct as my website is nintendoparts.com.au
ndsparts.com was another domain I purchased from bluehost.com but never used.
I changed it to
Session Directory //cache
and to
Session Directory /cache
but it made no difference.

As this is slightly off topic from SSU and I don't want to take the focus of this thread away from SSU, I've posted this question here:

please reply in the above thread if possible. Thanks.

Session Directory /home2/ndsparts/public_html/cache
This actually should be the same with the cache folder (path found in your includes/configure.php, last lines)

I have checked your site, indeed the way how zenid is attached to all links on all sub pages is weird

I have tried:
Session Directory /home2/ndsparts/public_html/cache
Session Directory //cache
Session Directory /cache

It hasn't made any difference. At the moment it's set to /cache

When I log into my bluehost.com account the 'stats' are:
Main Domain nintendoparts.com.au
Home Directory /home2/ndsparts

so maybe Session Directory /home2/ndsparts/public_html/cache is correct after all?

In my configure.php the last lines are:

// The next 2 "defines" are for SQL cache support.
// For SQL_CACHE_METHOD, you can select from: none, database, or file
// If you choose "file", then you need to set the DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE to a directory where your apache
// or webserver user has write privileges (chmod 666 or 777). We recommend using the "cache" folder inside the Zen Cart folder
// ie: /path/to/your/webspace/public_html/zen/cache -- leave no trailing slash
define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'file');
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home2/ndsparts/public_html/cache');

// EOF

My site had been logging debug files corectly, such as

/public_html/cache/zc_339c7e6bb4fe68547b272b7ec5401b17.sql
/public_html/cache/myDEBUG-911699-1286090555.log

Any ideas. I'm stumped.

I believe you can put it in any existing folder on your server (that your script has write permission)

Usually I use the zencart cache folder which in your case is

/home2/ndsparts/public_html/cache

I have tried:
Session Directory /home2/ndsparts/public_html/cache
Session Directory //cache
Session Directory /cache

/home2/ndsparts/public_html/cache

Debug files have been logged correctly in the past so the cache folder specified in the configure.php must have been be set up correctly (correct path & correct permissions). There are no new debug files being logged. I think home2/ndsparts/public_HTML/cache is correct.

But if this is correct how come changing it didn't break anything (or change anything)?

I only ever noticed the zenid after installing SEO URLS, but maybe this just because I was never looking at the URL's very closely before.

i have installed SSU to my zen cart and it generates URL too, but it always redirects to homepage. Can anyone help me with this??

@noleafclover2007

Were you able to get the module working for you. I am facing a similar issue with my site.

[llynix]

Just upgraded SSU after I found out I had an infinite search bug. Upgrading seemed to fix the infinite search bug but now I have another problem. I track my links using google analytics and run campaigns with links like so:

http://buydentalequipment.com/digita...ampaign=weekvg

These are getting redirected and modified into:
http://buydentalequipment.com/digita...ampaign=weekvg

Very subtle, but the question mark has changed to a slash. As a result the links aren't tracked.

As far as I can tell this came about once I upgraded. Any suggestions? I have utm_source, utm_campaign and utm_medium in the Set Query Key's exclude list.

Thanks,
Anthony
