Chemo's Ultimate URL's

I have noticed that when I go into my site that sometimes the first category link that I click on will give me the url with the ?zenid= on the end like this one:
-http://www.anitasarts.com/anna-griffin-c-8.html?zenid=d79465d885ba6e2e074345ac141d9eff

Later in the same session if I go back to that same category it will be this:
-http://www.anitasarts.com/anna-griffin-c-8.html

I have noticed this on several other sites from posts in this thread also.

Does anybody know what causes that and if it is something that needs to be worried about as far as duplicate content with Google?

Is it considered a query string and ignored by Google?

Also any time I go to a secure page the ?zenid= stuff is there. And when I go to a non secure page from a secure page the first non secure page will have the ?zenid= stuff. The next non secure page will not have the ?zenid stuff. I am using shared SSL.

Anyone have any clues how to fix that?

I'm getting some 404 not found errors returned by google web crawl:
Wondering if this is a problem with Ultimate URLs or another problem.
I assumed it ultimate URLs because of the php designation instead of html.
Can someone take a look at this and let me know...

I'm using Ultimate URL's without Image Handler so I know that IH isn't the problem.

zencart version 1.3.5
future zen template
google xml sitemap

thanks

Kelvyn - thanks! That's one less worry.

I recently changed my url but our ssl is still behind the old domain. The cart works fine with the new url but when SEO is turned on browser gives:

Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand

any solution for this?

Is you SSL path accurately setup in configure.php?

admin config

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// Main webserver: eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.olddomain.com');
// Secure webserver: eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.olddomain.com'); // eg, https://localhost
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.newdomain.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.olddomain.com');

includes config

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// Main webserver: eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.newdomain.com');
// Secure webserver: eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.olddomain.com');
// secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

I guess it gets a bit tricky since there's 2 domains in use..?

That's definitely for sure. Any reason you're not using https on the new domain? Considering that Ultimate SEO works except for SSL pages, I'd better the problem is with the different domains. If you turn of Ultimate SEO does SSL works for regular Zen Cart pages like login, create account, etc. ?

Well I just changed the domain and since everything is running smoothly I didn't have a reason to buy ssl for the new domain yet...

SSL urls works fine with new domain. Even though the SEO is turned off (or on) I can access seo urls with the old domain but new domain gives error 400.

dreamscape:

Do you mean how it messes up the page links if you enter them like "index.php?main_page=contact_us" ?

You could either enter just the main_page, like "contact_us" (but then they will be broken again if you switch it off), or you can put this in the seo.url.php right after the PayPal fix:

		/**
		 * Fix up $page
		 */
		$page = preg_replace('/(index\.php)?\??main_page=/', '', $page);

this fix didn't work for me.

see here <http://www.oldwestgames.com/page.html?chapter=0&id=1>

any suggestions?

I found a problem with SEO...

If i have a category with a few linked products in it, when selecting a poduct, the product_info page shows the product in the master category instead it's own.

as discussed in this thread.

any fixes for that ?

I have 1.3.2 and tested with same results in 1.3.5

Has Chemo's Ultimate ever resolved the issue of foreign characters in the urls? For instance, å æ and ø (the danish characters) -- can I substitute other url-friendly characters for them?

I don't know for sure but I did have this problem that I thought was related to GoogleAnalytics but it's probably Ultimate SEO

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=268126&postcount=52

I have a fresh install 1.3.5 cart.
If I turn on the Ultimate SEO URLs I get a 404 error whenever I try to login or go to any SSL page.

If I turn it off, the SSL works fine.

Am I missing something?

I am having a problem with the phpbb forum link since installing this (v1.35).

It wants to put in a double backslash in the url:

http://www.mydomain.com//forum/index.php.html

I tried hardcoding it per a previous post that lead to a link by Dr. Byte, and after that it just opens the main store page in a new window.

Any ideas as to how to fix this?

thank you,

betty
