Chemo's Ultimate URL's

edited for never mind

I guess I usually assume its operator error until someone can prove otherwise :)

You don't worry about that. It's my job to determine if a problem is actually a bug or not if you're unsure. :wink2:

So far everything looks good, works again. My problem with the page redirecting errors was cause i did not enable Format: Strip Invalid. Messing with it still to see if there is any bugs, but will let you know. Keep up with the good work.

Thank you Dreamscape

Hallo,

I use zen cart 1.3.7 and I tried to install "Ultimate_SEO_URLs_v2.103",
But I don't find a installation-guide for this version. So i used this one:
http://www.dream-scape.com/pub/zencart/Ultimate_SEO_URLs/install.html

Now if a go to my site, following error comes:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: zen_href_link() in /home/../online/htdocs/shop2/includes/languages/german.php on line 539"

I opened the file german.php, in line 539 there are following instructions:
define('CART_SHIPPING_OPTIONS_LOGIN', 'Bitte melden Sie sich <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL') . '"><u>hier</u></a> an, um Ihre persönlichen Versandkosten anzuzeigen.');

Some idea, why it doesn't work?
Is v2.103 compatible to zen-cart 1.3.7?
Does a installation-guide exist for this Version?

gratefully for any help!

Please install the newest version as the older version is no longer supported (and you can help test it in other languages)

BTW, Dreamscape, maybe you can put this in your signature so that others can easily find it.

Thanks

Hi voltage,
thanks a lot for your answer.
I downloaded the zip-file and the guide.

But I can't find in the directory "/zc_install/includes/functions/"
the file "html_output.php". There are only the files general.php and sessions.php.
I find only in the directory "includes/functions/html_output.php."

Which file does the manual meens in Page 21?

Thanks!

Hallo,

I copied the files in htdocs/admin and htdocs/includes.
I changed the html_output.php and copied in the directory:
/htdocs/includes/functions/

The shop works, but without SEO URLS and:

I can't find the Seo Urls configuration from within your Zen Cart Administration Interface. Located inside of the Configuration drop-down menu, there will be an entry titled similar to Seo Urls 3.x.x.:schmoll:

What is wrong?
Thanks.

Ok I fixed the Problem, I must change in the administration the language to english. And then it works and I see the menu!

@ Arkat

Um das Konfigurationsmenü auch im deutschen backend zu haben kann man auch
per PhPMyAdmin (oder ähnlichem) in der Tabelle "zen_configuration_group" in der
Zeile "configuration_group_title" nach Seo Urls 3.0.0-beta1 und Seo Urls Version suchen und hier die Zeile "language_id" von 1 auf 43 ändern.

Hope it helps.

Hallo,

one last question:
Does a Character Plugin exists for German ISO 8859-1 or UTF 8?
Or its possible to create some (in which file)?

A great tool, i love it!:laugh:

Thanks!!

Does a Character Plugin exists for German ISO 8859-1 or UTF 8?

If you mean for transliteration, the Latin Accent & Ligature Transliteration plugin should contain all German characters. If I missed any, please let me know.

You also do not need transliteration. This new Version 3 supports International Urls natively. And the lowercase character plugin will transform multi-byte characters to their lowercase versions if your PHP has MB String installed.

For example, say you have a product titled My Íñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn Product Name. (assume the page base setting is blank and the default extension setting is blank)

With just the Format: Strip Invalid character plugin enabled, the url will be generated as:
mysite.com/My-Íñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn-Product-Name-p-id

With the Format: Strip Invalid AND Format: Lower case character plugins enabled, the url will be generated as:
mysite.com/my-íñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn-product-name-p-id

With the Format: Strip Invalid AND Format: Lower case AND Romanization: Latin Accents & Ligatures character plugins enabled, the url will be generated as:
mysite.com/my-internationalizaetion-product-name-p-id

I know the guide does not currently explain the character plugins very well, and that will change in the future, but for now you just sort of have to play around with them... there are all sorts of possibilities ;-)

Kelvyn,
I haven't tried it on a Windows machine, only Linux, and at the risk of being obvious, have you enabled the core plugins in admin-config-seo-url plugins?

Rgds,
Chuck

Hallo,
thanks to Dreamscape and Fastserv.

I have the Format Strip Invalid AND Format: Lower case AND Romanization: Latin Accents & Ligatures character plugins enabled.
The result of a productname-url is:

Product Name: Verkaufsförderung
It change to URL: /index.php/verkaufsforderung-c-68

But I want: /index.php/verkaufsfoerderung-c-68

Ok, it is not a big problem, but a solution will be very nice!
Thanks!

Hi all:

I'd like to install the new SEO URLs on a 1.3.7 site using SSL. I have two "copies" of zencart...one on a non-SSL directory, and the second on a subdomain with SSL. Will I have problems installing SEO URLs with this setup? Unfortunately, it will be difficult to test this on a non-live site.

Thanks for the hard work Dreamscape.

Anyone install the 3.0 beta on a 1.3.7 Zen-Cart with PayPal IPN? Mine works until order confirmation -- instead of the usual PayPal order detail page, I now get the generic PayPal front page, as if the IPN isn't relaying the store/order data.

I played with the URL plugin settings, but no luck.

It is mentioned in the manual, but it just says - Plugins (this part of the manual to be completed) :)

kelvyn:

Ah!!! There you go - all working now.

I know it's an early beta, so this is just a suggestion, but when having a masterswitch for on/off, it might be an idea to have a few defaults like products and categories turned on.
Either that, or mention it in the manual.

Bug Report

kelvyn, I'm not using this thread for bug reports anymore. That was only for 2.1x. In the manual's introduction, there is a section that tells you how to submit bug reports for version 3+

I'm rebuilding my site with zencart 1.3.7 and useing admin profiles 1.0.6. All has been working well untill I added in SEO URL's 3.0.0 beta 1 . It will not show up in admin, and in the admin profiles screen it has a check box. But if I check the box and hit save changes it reverts to unchecked. I tried manualy adding 106, 1 to the admin allowed pages table, and that fixed the problem, and allows me to use SEO urls. However if I go back to admin profiles and make any change, I loose access again. I think this is related to the fact that there is no admin boxes file for this mod. Any suggestions? I will cross post this in the Admin Profiles topic since it is a direct confilict between the mods. Thanks for any help!

I'm going to write some slightly speculative stuff here, as I won't be able to write more definitively without taking rather more time to investigate more deeply than I can at the moment.

It looks to me as though Dreamscape has done an outstanding job of taking advantage of Zen Cart's architecture to integrate this version of SEO URLs right into the core in a non-destructive way. A quick skim through his work suggests that this a model implementation blazing a trail for other mods to follow.

Admin Profiles on the other hand is still bolted onto the outside of Zen Cart and, in simplistic terms, is paying more attention to what's crossing the boundary than that which is already there.

I had hoped that this would be sufficient until release 1.6 of Zen Cart which really ought to take access control inside the core code. But Dreamscape has raised the bar, and 1.6 is too far away.

Thus some serious thought needs to be given to Admin Profiles structure. I have an inkling of a quick fix for this mod specifically, but even this will need significant evaluation and testing as I am not familiar with version 3, and would in any case prefer to spend the time taking Admin Profiles to the next level.

For what it's worth, ticking the Skip SSL box prevents customer from proceeding beyond checkout_shipping page. When SSL box is deselected, customer can proceed through all Zen-Cart checkout pages, but PayPal acts as if none of the IPN information was sent.

Prior to discovering this, I installed yesterday's patch for the PayPal eCheck bug. Perhaps the patch doesn't play well with the 3.0 beta? :unsure:

The cure was to tick the box marked
Core: Default: Skip SSL
Skip transforming SSL urls[/QUOTE]
