The Beta works,
Get it here
you can see it in action at

** No it does not work**,

just signed up for a Linux hosting, moved a site that i had in windows host and it look like it was working until you add an item to your cart, then it will show an empty cart (this is a known bug) and here is a list of known bugs in it- Card details are not passed through checkout, nor emailed in 2 parts

• With this mod and shared SSL on can not login as an existing customer
• shopping cart doesn't work
• Paypal payment problem!if someone got to work with all these these bugs then must spend a ton of time working on it or they are very very good in PHP .

for the average or below average programmer this will take some time and then you find out that you are breaking something else.

I like the contribution and i appreciate the developer effort and time but i will turn it off for now until these issues resolved.

i hope this safe someone else time and frustration.

I am getting a 404 error,The requested URL /zc_install/index.php does not exist . since I installed it on my second shop on server... and doesnt show up in config in admin. My second shop is in a sub directory, I would appreciate some help ... Thanks in advance

reinstalled again and again finally started working weird but thanks anyways :)

I have installed Zencart 1.3.7 using Xaamp. I'm having the following error at the top of my page after installing Chemo's URL Add on:

*Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in X:\xampp\htdocs\mywebsite\includes\classes\db\mysql\query_factory.php on line 114

at the bottom of the page I get this other error message:

1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'EXPECTED_PRODUCTS_SORT limit MAX_DISPLAY_UPCOMING_PRODUC' at line 7

Could anybody tell me what this mean and how to fix it?

Thanks

HI

I have the beta 3.0.0.1 seo url mod version and have just read that if you have a shared ssl the mod it will not let you customers log in, is this true.

Thanks

Does anyone know if there is a way to turn underscores to dashes when creating new defined pages? Ex. (site-map.html instead of site_map.html).

Even though i posted a page back that this mod does not work but i am not giving up on it, re reading this thread again it seems that some people got it to work, but where are those people to provide some help for us newbies????

Like i said i got a Linux account and i installed Zen Cart 1.3.7 and then backed up my files and my database from the working site and moved them to the new host, i installed this mod but i can not get items in the cart (always show empty cart) even though products and categories show as .html url.

since some people got it to work for them then i am assuming that i am missing something here, i followed what merlin advice to setup but no success yet.

Any Ideas?

Hi Tam

Have you turned on you url plugins on our admin, I have zen cart v1.3.7
and the beta3.0.0.1 seo url mod version looks to work the best, but still
getting a few problems with customers not being able to log into their acccount.

Hi Mag,

Yes i turned all the core page to on as suggested earlier in this thread, i am not sure why isn't working.

My categories and products works great but when you try to add an item to the to the cart it says the cart is empty, i made sure the cache directory is set to 777 (not sure if that has any thing to do with it).

Customer sign up does not write the information to the database thus customer login is not working.

I am suspecting a permission issue or the .htaccess entries, here is my basic 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]

Do i need more lines in my htaccess?

I will keep playing with it until it works and when it does i will have step-by-step installation instruction, i hate to see others go through what I've been through.

I don't. But I did do a search the other day on the use of "_", "-" and "+" in urls for SEO. You might want to do the same, including doing searches on terms with the various separators to see if the search listings come up differently.

IMO, dashes are probably best, apparently being universally recognized and used. Some sources indicated it didn't matter, they all act as spaces.

Do test searches. My experience was that the "-" and "+" were very close producing results, the underscore seemed different.

Wondering if this has anything to do with it, from pdf/instructions ChangeLog:

Fixed Bug: #511, Customer login may fail when “Recreate Session” is True and
“Force Cookie Use” is False

I know I'm looking forward to that! My last problem: PayPal order does not return to ZC admin.

Yah that was a problem in 2.1 but it suppose to be fixed in the latest version which i am using.

Update:

I got passed the shopping cart empy issue, the problem was me :bangin:
I edited the file html_output.php but not the one on the site i am testing this mod with. :frusty:

The issue of new customers being able to create an account and login also was resolved, I am testing without SSL installed so following dreamscape's advice to uncheck **Core: Default: Skip SSL **Skip transforming SSL urls i was able to create a new account and the payment process was taking me through the steps.

About the PayPal Express checkout, currently i am getting the url kind of missed up https://www.mysite.com/ipn_main_handler.php.html?type=ec, as you see i am having an extension addes to the file even though i enabled
**Core: Default Skips **Skip urls with extensions [most likely real files].

I tried to follow dreamscape solution
but i could not even find the function he mentioned in that file

to be honest with you, PayPal Express checkout was a challenge for me even on the my live site, i was never been able to get it to work, every time that button was clicked it show the following error

Return to Merchant

This transaction is invalid. Please return to the recipient's website to complete your transaction using their regular checkout flow.

and the same error i get when i remove the .html extension and reload the page.

I will keep searching/testing and i will update.

I got this problem solved by adding the following lines

           // don't rewrite the paypal IPN notify url
           if ($page == 'ipn_main_handler.php') {
                return $this->buildStockHrefLink($page, $parameters, $connection, $add_session_id, true, $static, $use_dir_ws_catalog);
               }
```to the file includes\classes\seo\seo.url.php right after 

    /**
     * don't rewrite pages we should skip
     */
    if ($this->plugins->skipSeoUrl($page, $parameters, $connection) === true) {
        return $this->buildStockHrefLink($page, $parameters, $connection, $add_session_id, true, $static, $use_dir_ws_catalog);

What is the first thing to check when getting a 404 error after installing Seo_Url?

https://www.funtasticaltoys.com/toyshop/index.php

Works fine on the admin side, but not working on the cart side.

I had a few other errors, but I worked around all of them.

The one thing I never figured out was that the directions stated to remove the old seo reference in admin/includes/products.php I do not have that file, had product.php but no seo references in it.

Did you enable the core files under admin>configueration>seo.3.0.0-beta1?

Jwm931:

What is the first thing to check when getting a 404 error after installing Seo_Url?

the setting should be like this
** Seo Urls Status** On
** 301 Redirection Status** On
** Page Base** (is your cart installed inside the directory /toyshop/? or is it in the root? if it is in the root then this should be blank otherwise it should be /toyshop/

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

Checked all that, and corrected, still getting the 404.

Here is my htaccess

# $Id: .htaccess 1105 2005-04-04 22:05:35Z birdbrain $
#
# This is used with Apache WebServers
# The following blocks direct HTTP requests in this directory recursively
#
# For this to work, you must include the parameter 'Limit' to the AllowOverride configuration
#
# Example:
#
#<Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">
#  AllowOverride Limit
#
# 'All' with also work. (This configuration is in your apache/conf/httpd.conf file)
#
# This does not affect PHP include/require functions
#
# Example: http://server/catalog/includes/application_top.php will not work


RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /toyshop/


# 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]

This is my .htaccess file, it looks the same as what you have except for one thing is the + in your last line (I never dealt with htaccess before this.

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index\.php?seo_url=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

1 RewriteEngine On
2 RewriteBase /
3
4 # Seo Urls version 3.x
5 # Don't rewrite real files or directories
6 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
7 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
8 RewriteRule ^(. )$ index.php?seo_url=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Never mind the last post, it has a + but it does not show in view only when i open the file for edit.:oops:

Did you put the htaccess in the root or in /toyshop/?
