Simple SEO URLs for ZC 1.5.x [Support Thread]

I still get error message Log anytime I try to access an old web page from before I installed Zen Cart, and some of these logs are for web pages where nobody should be able to find them, except for search engines crawling all these other pages in my root folder. and this would explain why I don't get all these error messages logs on my test site. So I'm thinking about using a rewrite rule root/includes what do you think about that? That should work

Re: Simple SEO URLs for ZC 1.5.x [Support Thread]

Ok so here is what is going on and how to fix it. If somehow someone or something goes to a mysite.com/directory/index.html link I used before Zencart, i get the error log, but if I add a rewrite cond RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/directory.* [NC] to my .htaccess file, then I don't get the error log, also then it will use the setting I have in my hosting account control panel to redirect all 404 errors to my home page (or what ever link/page I want) if I remove the directory or file and someone finds the old link somewhere. I also added RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.(html|jpg|png|gif|ico|txt)$ [NC] .

Some of these error logs I don't understand why I get them, they are for tpl_phpMyAdmin_default.php , tpl_pma_default.php and tpl_myadmin_default.php , I get these 3 error logs at the same exact time, and I don't get these right when I access my phpMyAdmin from my hosting account control panel, and myadmin is not the name of my admin.

I can also prevent many of these error logs by adding a empty blank file with these file names in the templates folder, as mentioned above, I did this for the ones that were happening all the time like the faviconico error log.

Here is the .htaccess file code below I'm using in my site's root folder:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

Make sure to change "zencart" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase /

#RewriteBase /zencart/
RewriteBase /

Deny access from .htaccess

RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.(html|jpg|png|gif|ico|txt)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/directory.* [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L,PT]

Re: Simple SEO URLs for ZC 1.5.x [Support Thread]

Thank you for updating this module.

However I implore you please upload the latest version to the plugins section. I just wasted an hour of my time auditing your old version. :(

Re: Simple SEO URLs for ZC 1.5.x [Support Thread]

I am completely new to Zen Cart (I've used Opencart for years) and I really don't understand the installation readme file.

**I. HOW TO INSTALL

  1. Upload all folders/files from zencart_files/ to destination folder on your server.
  2. Open .htaccess and change it (you can see an example in it)

II. HOW TO USE

  1. Go to Configuration - Simple SEO URLs and enable it.**
  • I have uploaded the files from the zencart_files folder to the server and selected to merge the folders.
  • What do I need to change in the htaccess file and where is the file?
  • Simple SEO URLs is not in my Configuration menu.

Do I need to do something with the simple_seo_url.sql file that is included? Like I said I've used Opencart for years so I'm not a total clueless newbie but I can't find any instructions on how to install this and It's driving me nuts!

Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Ty

Has the latest version of this mod been tested with zen-cart v1.5.3?

Re: Simple SEO URLs for ZC 1.5.x [Support Thread]

I did a quick look through the code and noticed that the file:
includes/functions/html_output.php

Seems to be based off an older version from 1.5.0. This file needs to be updated for 1.5.3.

Re: Simple SEO URLs for ZC 1.5.x [Support Thread]

Will this module generate urls in batch automatically or with an action from admin when product is imported with easy populate?
Or does it require each page to be manually generated like the Ceon module?
Thanks for keeping this module up to date.

While I don't have a specific answer to your question, I offer a correction to the second statement, in that it is possible for urls to be generated for the CEON module without loading each page (ie. via EasyPopulate) So that comparison is not necessarily accurately written.

Re: Simple SEO URLs for ZC 1.5.x [Support Thread]

Hi All

I am using this plugin and it works fine except in few cases.
In the product list page I have added 'Add to cart' button for each product listed and the following url is opened on that button click "index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=14_18&products_id=1315&qty=1". After enabling simple seo plugin. it is not working.

Can anyone guide me on how to pass qty value in the seo url?

Re: Simple SEO URLs for ZC 1.5.x [Support Thread]

Hi All

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f

alternative rewrite rule, seem to work on GoDaddy hosts http://codeigniter.com/wiki/Godaddy_Installaton_Tips/

to use it, please make sure you comment out the rewrite rule above, then uncomment the line below

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?$1 [L]

EOF SSU

It does, I have ZC 1.5.4 installed and SSU works just fine.

Though I have a question for the authors or anyone else familiar with the subject. In the old versions, you had a button where you could manually create an alias, not just edit existing ones. I can't seem to find that in this new version.

Example: We all have the additional Page 2, Page 3, Page 4 in the ZenCart, but if I decide to rename the Page 2 into "Happy Tree Friends" (via language and template code editing), I cannot change the URL (alias) of Page 2 from mysite.com*/page2/* into mysite.com**/happy-tree-friends/** . Or can I? :)

Re: Simple SEO URLs for ZC 1.5.x [Support Thread]

Does anyone know if this is compatible with v1.55? I have a client who had this installed on v1.54. However after an upgrade when SSU is turned on every page goes to a 404. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are those that may say yes it is/is possible, then there are those that would advise to use either of the other two URI rewriters if any at all. USU/CEON URI Mappings. The second offers a wider range of capturing old URIs so that visitors continue to be directed to the existing product regardless of the name it ends up being.

I am curious if you got this working with 1.5.5?

Re: Simple SEO URLs for ZC 1.5.x [Support Thread]

Hi,

I am using simple-seo-ur_v1.5.2 on Zen Cart V1.5.4 and everything works fine except for the Manufacturers URLs are not converted to use the Manufacturers Title. I used to use Ultimate SEO URLs but switched to Simple SEO URLs during my recent Zen Cart upgrade.

For example: Shop by colour (top right sidebox) on this site the URLs used to be like http://www.rugscentre.co.uk/beige-rugs-m-10.html but now they are like http://www.rugscentre.co.uk/index/manufacturers_id/10

Is it possible to do this? (But without the -m-10.html, so it would just be beige-rugs)

:-)
