Bug Summary: Product type URLs don't contain the product name.

Bug Details:
URLs generated for custom product types don't contain the product name, and it is tedious to hack the SEO URLs source code to add support for custom product types.

I guess this answers my question. Was this ever corrected? The ONLY reason I even contributed to this project was because this is one of the problems Dreamscape specifically said this new version would address. If this is not the case, it is very disappointing.

Hi there,

I am using Ultimate_SEO_URLs_v2.103 and have everything working except for the SSL pages.

I am on a shared SSL and the url changes fom

http://shop.technopro.co.za
to > https://www6.glodns.net/technopro-co-za/index.php?main_page=login
when you acces secure pages.

The SEO url for this login page is

https://www6.glodns.net/technopro-co-za/login.html?zenid=??????? (changed for obvious reasons)
but when you click on the link you get a 404 error returned. Using an URL expression test utility I get the following back as the resolved URL
/index.php?main_page=https://www6.glodns.net/technopro-co-za/login&zenid=???????

Clearly this will not work.

What do I code as a rewrite rule or condition to fix this or alternatively how do I switch off the SEO URL for secure pages only?

Thanks in advance.

is anyone using this mod, whilst having a html page as their first page.

i.e https://www.zencart.co.uk is the index.html page then shop page is https://www.zencart.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index

seems that the index.php resolves to the index.html page so i can't get to the shop front!!

Any ideas?

Make index.htm the default and use that for the flat file page?

Hi all,

I have installed version 2.103 of this plugin on my zen cart at http://www.duckworthsuk.com

Whilst it appears to be working (in that it rewrites the URL's), there is a warning, that also seems to mess up the fonts in the sidebar.

Warning: Missing argument 1 for SEO_URL::SEO_URL() in /home/dwuk/public_html/shop/includes/classes/seo.url.php on line 46

By the looks of it, it's got something to do with the Language ID (I only have english installed). But I could be wrong.

Any suggestions? I am using v 1.3.7.

Right, fixed the problem. Basically, because I have only one language installed, I had to define the language as SEO_URL($languages_id = 1) :)

Little problem, I have read through most of this thread and think I've got the general jist of it.

The SEO URL's work as expected, but whenever I try and login and place an order etc. I get a 404 page.

We are using a shared SSL to handle the payment/accounts. Reading this thread there's a lot of people who say "Set Skip SSL".

I am using version 2.103 of the plugin and 1.3.7 of Zen, and having trouble to find the checkbox.

Is it only in the beta? As it's a live shop, I'm a bit apprehensive using the beta installation.

Failing that, what could be the problem and any suggestions to how I can go to fix it?

I am having problems with not receiving my paypal orders. I see that this was a problem in Dec and Jan, has it been fixed? I am trying to figure out if this is the problem, anyone else having trouble with it?

Yes, View this post and checkout the official SEO URL Bug tracker.
Thanks Kelvyn,
I turned off this module and still have the problem, so I am not sure that it is the culprate.

I am using zen cart 1.3.7 seo 3.0

Thanks, this is getting very frustrating, not being able to see orders!!

Okay I changed it, but it still didn't work. I am very new to this, so I am learning as I go (not a good way!!) Okay, I think I have another problem, should I have 2 htaccess.php files? One has google checkout info and the other is the seo info. Is this correct or should I combine them? One is htaccess.php and the other is htaccess.php_SEO Thanks, sorry for the stupid question!

kelvyn:

Where to start? OK, at the top level, you've installed Google Checkout wrong - you've got this file here:
http://www.mommyandbabyessentials.com/htaccess.php
which you should move IMMEDIATELY into the admin section!
The .htaccess in your root folder should ONLY contain what I pasted before.
Anything else with .htaccess_SOMETHING should NOT be in the root folder.

Remember, Zen (and extensions and stuff in particular) isn't a beginners thing.
It can be done, but expect to have your head buried in forums and patch files a lot more than you spend on the business!

I've tried a few files on your site, and you're in serious danger of getting hacked.

Remember, deep breath, lots of time without interruption, take it all one step at a time, read ALL the readmes, and you'll be fine.

You need to print out ALL the info relating to both the SEO thing AND Google checkout, and read it all, and tick it off. I've been in IT for 10 years now, and these two mods took me over half a day to get going at all.
Okay, thanks for all of your help!

kelvyn:

You DO need to read things carefully, though.

For example, I see you've now put my code in .htaccess.php

You MUST get rid of the .php extension - the files should JUST be called .htaccess

Nothing on the end. just .htaccess

If you're using a windows based server, then this is going to get so tricky that someone else might have to take over! :laugh:
Yes, I am on Windows, I have thought about changing but I wasn't sure it was worth it? What do you suggest? Also, you said I could be hacked, is SEO and google the only 2 that you see? I looked and found a patch that I did not install, so I am doing that right now.

Oh, you have been very helpful!! I can't thank you enough. I started this blindly 2 months ago and am learning but it is hard to figure things out. I will start paying closer attention to files and such. I just hope I can figure out why my paypal isn't creating the order! I am have to call the people and ask them what they ordered!! Do you know anything about Firefox? I'm also having problems with that!! What a day! http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69273

HI

I am having trouble with the ultimate seo rewriter mod, all the files has been installed and the sql has been installed for the seo module but you are having problems with it working on the checkout after an item has been added to the shopping basket.

thanks James

Perhaps, the best advice for right now is to stay away from a beta mod that is not production ready. Spend your time learning about Zen Cart inside out and when you fully understand the inner working of ZC you can start messing with beta mod like this.

The creator of this mod strongly caution against using this mod in production environment.

I've been messing with ZenCart for about a month now and I really love the SEO URLs from this plugin/module. I am having one problem, however, and I'm not sure if it's a bug or if I'm doing something stupid:

The thing is rewriting the create_account page, which I wouldn't have a problem with, except when it does that account creation fails. It simply goes back to the create_account page with all blank lines as if I hit refresh. If I turn off SEO URLs, account creation can proceed normally.

I've spent the past couple days trying to figure out how to get it to skip rewriting the create_account URL, to no success.

Edited to add:

Using Seo Urls 3.0.0-beta1 and ZenCart 1.3.7.

have to say first install and working perfectly" thank you dreamscape!!!

Do you have Paypal Express Checkout?

I just uploaded the bug fix stuff, changed all the settings to exactly what's listed here and even tried switching my .htaccess file between

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?seo_url=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

PHP is version  5.2.2
