Ultimate SEO v3 (and v2.200) [Support Thread]

Hi, in the function:
This filter is run before character conversions and stripping of special characters. If you want a dash - in your URLS, use a single space. To escape a character in the regular expression use \ instead of a single.

The format MUST be in the form: find1 => replace1, find2 => replace2.

I wanted to change undescore with the hyphen in the url discount_coupon. etc etc in discount-coupon.
but I have done various tests but it does not work
Thank you

Please identify the value that you are entering for the "PCRE Filter Rules" as well as the version of USU and Zen Cart that is in use.

hi, the currently installed version of USU.
3.0.11
To identify the rules What do you mean?
The rule as written says that if there is: find1 => replace1, find2 => replace2.
I tried typing find _ => replace-,
unless he does not want me to write the page file, this is not clear

Hello,
it does not work, it probably also takes an htaccess rule, otherwise the link does not change.

Good afternoon, everyone, I would like to know if to generate hreflang with Ultimate seo url, the parameter entered in the html_header.php is correct

<base href = "<? php echo (($ request_type == 'SSL')? HTTPS_SERVER. DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG: HTTP_SERVER. DIR_WS_CATALOG);?>" /> <? php if (isset ($ canonicalLink) && $ canonicalLink! = '') {?> <link rel = "canonical" href = "<? php echo $ canonicalLink;?>" /> <? php}?> <? php // BOF hreflang for multilingual sites if (! isset ($ lng) || (isset ($ lng) &&! is_object ($ lng))) { $ lng = new language; } if (count ($ lng-> catalog_languages)> 1) { foreach ($ lng-> catalog_languages ​​as $ key => $ value) { echo '<link rel = "alternate" href = "'. ($ this_is_home_page? zen_href_link (FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'language ='. $ key, $ request_type, false): $ canonicalLink. (strpos ($ canonicalLink, '?')? '& amp;': '?'). 'language ='. $ key). '"hreflang ="'. $ key. '"/>'. "\ n"; } } // EOF hreflang for multilingual sites ?>

since many verification tools say there is an error
The alternate link to the page itself is missing. Thanks You

Dear Friends,

We are new to Zen Cart and we are currently testing v1.5.7d [PHP Version: 8.0.19] at https://www.celextel.biz.

We have installed Ultimate URLs USU.3.0.11 Version.

We are seeing Product URLs with Category URLs in the following Format:
category-name-c-2/product-name-p-16.html

Format of alternate URLs setting is Original:
Categories: category-name-c-34
Products: product-name-p-54

Please guide us as to what to do for getting the Product URLs without Category URLs in the following Format:
product-name-p-16.html

Thanks,

Lakshmanan

Hello,
Unfortunately, I can't make this plugin work on my website. When I enabled or disabled it, the links looked the same.
It's not given me any errors on the log.
Zen cart version v1.5.6c.
Plugin: 3.0.11
PHP Version: 7.4.33 (Zend: 3.4.0)
Database Engine: MySQL 5.5.5-10.3.37-MariaDB-log

Please help.

Er, besides the fact that Zen Cart v1.5.6c won't run successfully on PHP 7.4, I'm also guessing that I've not yet updated USU to run on that PHP version.

Sorry to have taken so long to answer your question.

To get a product URL without the category URL, set Generate cPath parameters to *auto *and Display categories as directories to off.

We are getting the URL as follows when we do this:

Please guide us as to what to do for getting the Product URLs without Category URLs in the following Format if it is possible:
product-name-p-16.html

... set Generate cPath parameters to *auto *....

actually, i believe this should be:

set Generate cPath parameters to *off *

you are missing the:

Display categories as directories
Key: USU_CATEGORY_DIR

this should be OFF.

carlwhat:

Thanks for the help.

We are getting only the Product URLs when the following settings are OFF:
Generate cPath parameters
Display categories as directories

Thanks,

USU has supported multi-lingual URLs for a while now!

You'd need to add some site-specific customizations to get that second link to record the $_SESSION['language_id'] as the numeric value of the site's English language when that link is received.

Thanks for the reply, but some time ago I had already asked for this and I was told that it wasn't possible at the moment, what I'm asking is if it can be done, where to intervene, which file? htaccess? other file?

my site is in 5 languages, and I would like to be able to make them all do this:
https://www.biocanapa.abruzzo.it/index.html?language=en to
https://www.biocanapa.abruzzo.it/en/
https://www.biocanapa.abruzzo.it/index.html?language=es to
https://www.biocanapa.abruzzo.it/es/
https://www.biocanapa.abruzzo.it/index.html?language=fr to
https://www.biocanapa.abruzzo.it/fr/
https://www.biocanapa.abruzzo.it/index.html?language=de to
https://www.biocanapa.abruzzo.it/de/

maybe I explained myself better,

Thank you
