Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[cleverpork]

I hope when you deleted all the files you deleted the cache/ssu files too. If you didn't that is probably the problem.

I did delete the cache/ssu files. Good thinking, though. I managed to get the "categories" page working -- that was my error. Somehow, I managed to move the categories.php file from the admin area... ??? I have no idea how that happened.

BUT, somehow in the admin area, SSU still seems to be working (even though I meticulously deleted every file). I'm confused how it's still recreating the new URL if it's uninstalled.

Any thoughts?

Anyone on what I posted above?

Good mode. but

1. too many cached files in cache/ssu, when ever i tru to remove those cache, page shows php time out
2. extra language become /index/language/french/ can we simply use /fr/ ?
3. well can we get rid of module manager as no other mod use it anymore...

If you are using the current version of simple seo 3.8.8 it doesn not cache half as many files that it use to. You can download it from his site here. Yes you can just use French read the online documentation on how to. Yes I'm afraid module manger is required to use this module.

Currently this process has to be done manually. Generally you just have to go through the installation steps, but backward.

1. Revert .htaccess back to normal.
2. Revert the changes made to html_output.php
3. Remove new files uploaded during the installation
4. Then in admin→tools→sql patch runs

If you didn't run the uninstall code you need to do so in admin/tools/install_sql_patches.

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 5.1/en/control-flow-functions.html">IF EXISTS links_aliases;

Ok I have been doing quite a bit of digging and I can't seam to find a good initial setup how too for this SEO URL mod.

I have installed everything and did get my site working, but I am having issues now loading my test product page. I end up getting a 404 error with seo set to true. Any info or suggestions would be great. I can pass on url via pm.

Current mods include: Languages (EN,ES,FR,DU,IT), custom template, zen light box, ttp, captcha, image handler 2, sale report.

One more thing to keep in mind. Maybe to completely understand .htaccess stuff I want to clarify.

.htaccess need to go in the folder that it needs to control.
.htaccess RewriteBase or Base needs to be set relative to the folder structure of the domain. If installed in a sub directory of the domain, RewriteBase /subdir/

This has nothing to do with the root /public_html/ in your hosting account just with the location relative to the domains root.

Your domain root might be /public_html/mydomain but test zencart is installed /public_html/mydomain/testzen so .htaccess will be put in /public_html/mydomain/testzen but you have to set RewriteBase /testzen/
If just /public_html/mydomain/
it will be RewriteBase /
Every simple seo file and .htaccess needs to be under /public_html/mydomain/ to work. Hope this makes sense to you.

You can post your current .htaccess content here so we can take a look at it. A 404 error is most of the time cause by a .htaccess error.

This is all right in my domain root directory.

One more thing if you want this module to work correctly you need to get rid of everything that deals with Ultimate SEO URLs. These two module will not work together. Either use one or the other.

I noticed the latest version has had a problem processing "+" within url query parameters... Some people have had a problem with store searches with multiple words, and adding the advanced_search to the exclude list helped.

My problem now is I had a + within parameters used for tracking purposes, and this triggers an infinite redirect loop. Hopefully I can figure out how to fix this or a new version will be released soon...
