apparently it can. I did merge the html_output.php files though...

Thank You,

Hi,

I have been using the version 2.215 of this wonderful module on zencart version 1.5.4 and it is working very fine.

Now, i want to use SSL and make my site secure using https://

My question is :

Can I tweak the configure.php file to redirect the url to https:// even if I am already redirecting my URLs through this mod?

Moreover, will changing to https:// harm my ranking on google? or will it transfer the ranking to the new https:// site?

Kindly reply with steps to do this properly.

thanks in advance.

see:

https://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?56-how-do-i-enable-ssl

pay close attention to #3. i'm assuming you are turning on SSL for the whole site. its actually quite easy:

If you want your ENTIRE site to be served over SSL, then use https on both defines:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.YOUR_SHOP.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.YOUR_SHOP.com'); 
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true'); 

i make no guarantees with regards to google, but my experience says your rank will be unaffected by this change.

nothing need be done with regards to ultimate SEO....

good luck!

Hi there,

I was just wondering, is this module php 7.1 compatible? I am not certain it is the reason for the error, but I get a blank page but part of the url at the top of page. For example, on featured page it shows:-

/featured_products

And so on. I am on 1.55f, I know that it is not 7.2 compatible, so perhaps actually its not 7.1 compatible. The url showing thing just made me wonder if the url rewriting part of this module might need tweaking. Thanks in advance for any replies.

how to do ?

Hi,

I wonder if you can help me.

ZC 1.5.5f
USU 2.215

I am having trouble with repopulating the attributes after clicking a product in cart.

With USU enabled, in the cart links look like this:
my-product-name-p-341.html

With USU disabled, in the cart links look like this:
index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=341:975079f2b110126e0c4ba1af5219705c

Here is the part of .htaccess that deals with USU rewrites:

RewriteRule ^(.)-c-([0-9_]+)/(.)-p-([0-9]+)(.)$ index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=$4&cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

So, after some digging in, I found there are two problems. For an unknown reason, the USU 2.215 no longer passes the attributes to product link.
To fix that, in includes/classes/usu.php uncomment LINE 320. Like so:

$p2[1] = zen_get_prid($p2[1]);

to

// $p2[1] = zen_get_prid($p2[1]);

Next problem will only affect you if you are running Apache on Windows (which in my case I was - for a test server).
The colon is a disallowed character on Windows version of Apache, due to NTFS conventions. I instead opted for using a plus '+' character. I simply added to includes/classes/usu.php LINE 321:

$p2[1] = str_replace(":","+",$p2[1]);

This gives me the SEO link that is formatted like so:
https://www.example.com/seo-page-name-p-341+6662cd9f4515a07efd25ef413b81846f.html

Then, in .htaccess, I added:

RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-([^\+]+)\+(.*)\.html$ index\.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=$2:$3&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

This splits the value and reassembles it with a colon, to feed it back to PHP that expects it. As in:

https://www.example.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=341:6662cd9f4515a07efd25ef413b81846f

Hopefully, I will only need to do this on Windows (test) server and should be unnecessary on the Unix Apache, come deployment time.

Probably a dumb question but I suppose the new URL is supposed to show up in my Browser URL but it does not, neither for new or existing products.
If I run debug log the new URLs are created OK, if I copy one URL and paste it in my Browser then the correct product shows up.

If I look at my page source then the "link rel="canonical" href" shows the new URL in both languages available on my site.

Maybe I configured something wrong somewhere?

My site is https://www.simmar.ch/catalog, thanks for any help :)

Domain: homepromedical.com

The website cannot "Buy Now" when customers purchase from Manufacturer List.
As I described from this topic...

https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....ufacturer-List

I suspected this plugin may trigger the problem (the Ultimate SEO version is 2.212).
The "index.html" is the reason of 404 error...
But, website using index.php for all actions.
Therefore, I think the rewrite may lead to this problem.

nginx How to implement rewrite?

We just migrated to Ultimate from Ceon and are having problems with the way that Ultimate appends extra characters to the URL. For example:

"https://www.filefolderheaven.com/adapted-books-c-49/just-adapted-books-c-49_50/fox-says-good-working-with-core-vocabulary-p-2874"

Is there anyway to remove the "-C-49", etc

We want our URLs to look more like this:

"https://www.filefolderheaven.com/adapted-books/just-adapted-books/fox-says-good-working-with-core-vocabulary"
Thank you

That's not the way that USU works. Those "appendages" are how USU's .htaccess maps the URI into a specific page; the p-2874 identifies products_id = 2874 and c-49_50 maps to a cPath of 49_50.

You can lose the C-49 component (cPath) of the url in admin/configuration/ultimate_urls go to 'Generate cPath parameters' and disable 'auto' - that should get rid of the C-49 component - however as lat9 said, you will not get rid of the page number (p-2874) - Ultimate requires it.

nginx How to implement rewrite?

Did you upload the .htaccess file into the root of your store? this file has the rewrite instructions - so if you haven't then go to your plugin downloaded folders and open the folder .htaccess - you will see a 'globe' style icon with .htaccess next to it - upload that into your root.

cheers,
Mike

this is just plain wrong.

.htaccess is meant to be used with apache not nginx.

while there may be some experienced nginx admins on this board, i would think there are better resources for how to implement rewrites using nginx then the zen-cart shopping cart board.

best.

zen cart version is 1.5.5f, php version 5.6.35, apache 2.4.33, mysql 5.7.21
I use Ultimate SEO URLs - Version: 2.215, all is ok.
When there is a #15 character in the product name, I am using the search bar #15, but I can't search for the result. There is no 'keyword=' attribute in the URL. If I uninstall the Ultimate SEO URLs, I can use the search function normally. How can I modify this plugin?

I don't understand what the #15 character is, could you provide the full product name that gives you this problem?

bwlinux:

Thank you very much. Your explanation helped me to find and fix the problem using the code below.

href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'manufacturers_id='.$manufacturers_id); ?>"

Sorry, I know this is a reply to an old post but I am having the same problem with manufacturers and I can't work out where to check to fix the problem. I have Zen Cart v1.5.5f and Ultimate URLS v2.215 installed. It looks like zen_href_link is being used every where but I'm obviously missing something. I have checked and I can't see the template overriding anything.

The canonical URL for the manufacturer page is correct (<https://www.aliensandstrangersmusic.com/clark-w-fobes-m-30>). If I paste the canonical into the browser the manufacturers page loads correctly. But clicking on the manufacturer in the sidebox the link directed to is the <https://www.aliensandstrangersmusic.com/?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=30> format. Trying to track down where the onchange  is processed.```
<select name="manufacturers_id" onchange="this.form.submit();" size="5" style="width: 90%; margin: auto;">

Can you point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Hello, I'm trying to install Ultimate SEO URL on Zencart 1.5.5e and PHP 5.6

Is this possible? In my case:

1. I couldn't use the recommended method "Plugin Manager" as I couldn't find where to download it.
   I searched hard. Where do you get "Plugin Manager" from?

2. I couldn't use the alternate manual method either as I get this error:

"An error occurred while replacing / updating content in '/<base_dir>/myshop/<admin_dir>/categories.php'. Backtrack Limit exceeded. This usually indicates an overly conservative pcre.backtrack_limit configured on your server (or restricted by mod_security). Either change the setting or manually merge the required changes."

pcre.backtrack_limit is set to one million
my provider won't change the settings of mod_security

3. the last resort method (compare/merge) it's quite impractical (meaning too difficult for me) as the files provided with Ultimate SEO URL are for zencart 1.5.4 while I have 1.5.5e

Could somebody either:

• tell me where to get "Plugin Manager"
• tell me a trick to bypass mod_security restrictions
• send a 1.5.5e version of the files to modify so I can manage to compare and find the relevant differences?

By the way is lhungil still working on this project?
