Chemo's Ultimate URL's

BlessIsaacola:

Woody, let me know if you want me to test an install on our server **without **the .htaccess to see if it works.

Sure.

The ONLY things I have done with the mod is upload all the mod files (including the edit to html_output.php) and visited the catalog home page, which came up blank.

I ten copied the simple .htaccess provided in the guide.
The catalog homepage still came up blank.

I can login to admin, but as reported the mod does not appear in the config menu.

I will switch templates and check the error log for info.

Woody

I just checked the error log and observed the error :
includes/classes/seo/seo.compatibility/http_build_query.php
failed to open stream: No such file or directory

So I checked directory on the host and sure enough http_build_query.php was not present. Instead in that same directory was a file named seo.compatibility. Something fishy going on. And so I looked in my local unzipped archive and I also observe the file seo.compatibility (in the directory of the same name), not http_build_query.php. Not good.

I open the zip archive and it correctly shows http_build_query.php. So it appears the unzip process borked out. First time I've had this experience.

Will report back when I have more to offer.

Nothing wrong Woodmon, I was just wanting to know if it was ok to use the beta because of the danger message on the home page of the link you sent me.

However this gives me a good excuse to setup my xaamp properly so that I can test it first.

Thank you for the help. I really do appreciated it!!! I just couldn't help taking your name to the Jamacian frame of mind.

I deleted the stange seo.compatibility file
And uploaded http_build_query.php

All is well now. Now I can go play, and see if I can break it again :wink2:

Thanks,
Woody

@Bird - As you can see I am brand new to this mod.

I didn't hear you asking if it was "ok" to install the beta. So I have to ask, "ok" for what? The mod is NOT (yet) intended for production use. But you knew that reading this thread and downloading and reading the guide.

See the link of that Isaac just posted above. Is an attachment of all the 3.0.0b1 post release fixes through Mar 29, 2007. Be sure to check out the bug tracker for all the patches released since.

Or was Beta 2 ever released as announced here on March 11 2007?

Woody,

As long as your environment is a test environment can you please test this scenario for me?

Make sure Skip SSL is unchecked
Make sure .html is set for default extension
Make sure that Paypal Express is installed

Then report back if it works with the above settings :)

I would definitely test for you but I currently I do not have any shipping or payment mods installed (including no PPEC or GCO) on this basic test installation. Nor do I have a SSL certificate installed.

I know you're going how could it be a quality test bed if I don't have any of this installed/configured :wink2:

I may move this install to another host I do have SSL installed. But I don't think that will not happen real soon.

But If I am able to do that sooner which specific functions/features do you want me to test? Zen cart has a zillion permutations of settings and options.

Thanks Woody for even entertaining my request. The ONLY issue I have not been able to resolve is the mod working with PPE as described above. When you get to it you get to it. I am not too going crazy to have this work as I have already uninstall this. This mod will eventually end up like Image Handler.

I have a big problem with this tool because its produce lot of duplicate content in the search results.
Example:
Main Url:

http://www.my-domain.com/

You can also access the main page if you put the letter “?” after the slash.
Example:
I can also see the main page with the following urls:
http://www.my-domain.com/?lamer
http://www.my-domain.com/?this-suxx
http://www.my-domain.com/?whatever-you-want

If your page is accessible under different internal urls, you get an penalty from Google.
How can I fix it?

My htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Thanks

Installed Seo Urls 3.0.0-beta1
I do not have SSL on this test shop (disabled in both configure.php's)

When I log in as customer and visit MyAccount and try to to change password I get no response.

More specifically on
http://MY_DOMAIN/MY_SHOP/index.php/account_password
(note, not https):

I enter current pwd and enter new pwd and confirm new pwd. Then click submit. Then the page refreshes with all three password edit boxes cleared out.

Rather I should be observing a new page "your password has been changed ... blah, blah, blah"

Below are my SEO mod settings

Title 	Value 	Action 
Seo Urls Status 	On 	 
301 Redirection Status 	On 	
Page Base 	index.php 	
Default Extension  (n/a)
Url Plugins 	Core: Default, Core: Product, Core: Default: Skip SSL, Core: Advanced Search, Core: Manufacturer, Core: Default Skips, Core: Product: Reviews, Core: Product: Reviews: Write, Core: Product: Image, Core: EZ Pages, Core: Product: Reviews: Info, Core: Advanced Search: Result, Core: Category 	
Character Plugins  (n/a)

Any ideas?

I've just read the pdf guide and done a search, but can someone confirm my guess that mod write is something that my host should already have (just need to have enabled if not already so), not a contribution that I need to download and install?

"mod_rewrite" is a common loaded module for the Apache web server.

The best way to test to see if it is installed is to setup a simple rewrite rule in htaccess and try it ;-)

In Zen Cart Admin > Tools > Server/Version Info
will show you if mod_rewrite is installed.

If still uncertain if installed inquire with your hosting provider.

Woody

Thanks Woodymon! Exactly what I need to know :D

Hi there!

I'm trying to use the new version on a website that has Admin Profiles installed.

I can't get this to work, because with a normal admin profiles installation, you have to go in and edit the boxes file for the file to show up, and edit the permissions for that user.

Well, there are no files for this mod in admin/includes/boxes/extra_boxes. It's a whole bunch of auto_loaders and carp I don't know how to deal with, LOL! Anyone got this to work with Admin Profiles?

Me again,

I have gotten by this by temporarily turning off admin profiles by disabling admin/includes/init_includes/overrides/init_admin_auth.php

So I'm having an issue.

I want the index.php removed from the site urls. My server supports mod_rewrite.

When I have "Page Base" set to blank, I get a 404 Not Found error.

With "Page Base" set to index.php it works, but of course index.php is in the name.

Here is my .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Seo Urls version 3.x
# Don't rewrite real files or directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index\.php?seo_url=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} . 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.jacksmagicbeanstalk\.com [NC] 
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.jacksmagicbeanstalk.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Here are my settings:

Seo Urls Status On
301 Redirection Status On
Page Base (blank)
Default Extension (blank)

**Url Plugins **
Core: Default: Skip SSL,
Core: Product: Reviews: Info,
Core: Product: Image,
Core: Category,
Core: Default,
Core: EZ Pages,
Core: Advanced Search,
Core: Product: Reviews: Write,
Core: Product: Reviews,
Core: Default Skips,
Core: Manufacturer,
Core: Advanced Search: Result,
Core: Product Info
**
Character Plugins **
Format: Strip Invalid,
Format: Lowercase

Update to my above post. My .htaccess is now this:

Options +FollowSymLinks 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Seo Urls version 3.x
# Don't rewrite real files or directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index\.php?seo_url=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

But still no go with the same above settings.

The site in question is http://www.jmb.jadetrue.com

hello,

After reading so many articles prasing SEO URL, I am determined to intall SEO 3.0 onto my site (zencart 3.7) and make it work. https://www.roseforlove.com, https://www.loveinrose.com

Right now, I encounted the following problems after I installed SEO 3.0:

http://www.loveinrose.com/index.php?=site_map,
http://www.loveinrose.com/index.php?=about_us,
http://www.loveinrose.com/index.php?=contact_us,
http://www.loveinrose.com/index.php?=privacy...

All become
http://www.loveinrose.com (the home page)

For any page who originally is, for example,
http://www.loveinrose.com/index.php?=page&id=11&chapter=0,

It became: http://www.loveinrose.com/?id=11&chapter=0
And doesn't show the right page or product.

Can anybody who has SEO 3.0 works right on his website post his .htaccess page to me? I am looking forward to getting help. Thank you!

Hello, everyone:

I finally figured it out myself. After I turned on the "Default Extension", then I began to see the SEO changes of my links. (I hope I could have deleted my previous confusing posts. :no: )

But, I run into another situation. Probably somebody encountered the same interesting problem as I do.

If "301 Redirection Status" is ON, my customer cannot finish the check out process. They will be kept bouncing back to the 1st step of 3: Delivery Information. They cannot move to the 2nd step of 3: Payment Information.

If I turn OFF the "301 redirection status", then my customer can go ahead to check out. But just some links will not be turned into SEO links. For example, "Q & A", "Open to trade".

Did someone run into the same situation and figure it out why and how to solve it?

By the way, the sites are https://www.thesbeauty.com, https://www.roseforlove.com and https://www.loveinrose.com.

Paypal doesn’t work for me. I´ve got only the Paypal main page if I want to buy an article. Yes, I installed all patches.

Can someone help me please?

I speak from Paypal IPN and I can fix the problem, if I change the Default Extension in Seo Beta from .html to .php.

But I want to use .html
