Chemo's Ultimate URL's

BlessIsaacola:

If anyone figures out the attribute or search problem where it doesn't allow apostrophe please post here. Until then, I am ditching this mod for good.

For those of you claiming that this works, how did you resolve the attribute issue where this mod messes up the link for products with attribute? How did you resolve the issue with regards to products that have ' in the name? When this mod is installed, search result does not yield any result of product name inlcudes '

Come on now, can anyone answer the man's question? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

heheheeee

tell him to check it out behind there is above 100 duplicated answers to his question i think

anyhow

i think there is another problem with it, i doubt that uploading the files for more than 7 times and installing it 4 times will result the same problem if its about the FTP program or installation.

but anyhow

its fine now :)

kelvyn:

it has occured to me more than once that Chemo refers to Chemotherapy. So the thing is, I really don't know what's going on here.

Chemo was the username of the person that wrote the original SEO URLs mod for OSCommerce (his real name is Bobby Easland). He's not the same person as Dreamscape. As far as I know, Chemo has never done any work on Zen Cart mods. His name just got carried over when the mod was ported from OSCommerce to ZenCart.

Would that be a fair summary of the situation?Well, there's an interesting thing - I'll admit I didn't notice that. CU SEO was doing so well for us on Google, but now you've pointed that out, there could be issues. Has anyone tried escaping ( ' ) all the ' and " marks? Does the new version in downloads improve this? What about the Magic version?

Well, I hope this summary has helped others - now if someone could help me fill the gaps in my knowledge I'd be grateful!

Kelvyn,
Thanks for the summary and yes that reflects basically what happened. I am with you that Dreamscape's health if of great importance. I just which he would have done a better job of communicating before abandoning the project (especially given how the project was initiated with fundable).

Like, you we were experiencing great improvement with google and more importantly msn and yahoo with seo url but the two issues relating to attributes and ' in product name definitely stopped us from using it. We have 1,000s products with attributes and google started indexing wrong urls which didn't help our situation. Too many 404 errors.

Magic SEO works fine and I talked with them. There are some issues for our situation that prevented us from using i.e. it doesn't support more than 3 category levels and I believe there is an issue with how it handles http versus https for the same domain.

It's very promising and they are going to address most limitations in January 2008.

Assuming that you understand the question, please point out where this has been answered or better yet show me ONE website that is using this mod that doesn't have the two issues described.

Thanks!

kelvyn:

OK, thanks for that!I'm hoping they might be able to bring the price down a bit too, for multiple orders!

Although, I am in no way associated with them, I'd imagine if you contact them they will give you a discount on multiple orders. It never hurts to ask. The one good thing is they provide updates with every Zen Cart releases (if it breaks the seo url) which is priceless given how much time we spend chasing code changes to make this thing work. :)

I think what Dreamscape has done so far is great. I think that this mod should be considered as another add on to zen-cart. I understand the designers don't want to create a bloated shopping cart e commerce program, but maybe one of you guys could look into the issue that BlessIsaacola brought up.

hey man

sorry to say the word "Answers" in fact i meant posts.

but there was an answer in fact that has a link in the thread i can't find it now but i went to the mod bug site where dreamscape reported the error of the attributes there...

he reported it as a fixed problem in fact but i don't know where is the solution it seems that either he forgot to attach the needed script or i don't know

you can find it here:

http://bugs.smarterwebdev.com/view_bug.php?bug_id=14

do you have an account there?

thats what he's writing:

Products in the shopping cart that contain attributes display an incorrect url in the shopping cart.

The url appears as:
-p-{id}:{attribute_string}

When it should appear as:
{item_name}-p-{id}:{attribute_string}

thats your problem right?

Same here, I just haven't found any issues I couldn't live with when using the older 2.105 version.

Yeah! I am aware of all the things you posted above. I know Dreamscape fixed a lot of stuff but he never released all of them as patches or even posted codes. There are only five patches he released even though there are more fixes than that.

There are too many know problems with version 2 as well but I am okay now as I have purchased magic seo url which works flawlessly.

do any one knows or can link to me where i can know the problems of Version 2?

because it looks that the SEO if working fine with me but im interested to see if there is any point i can't see somewhere...

You can pick up from where Dreamscape started collecting bugs from version 2 that he fixed in version 3.0. There are inconsistent issues with customers not being able to login after creating account (fixed in v3 and it was discussed). There are also issues with product types (which may have been fixed in 2.105) but definitely fixed in v3.0. There is also an issue with PayPal IPN just to mention a few.

BlessIsaacola:

...and I believe there is an issue with how it handles http versus https for the same domain.
I only try to clarify it (I know you are already using Magic SEO URL, but for others). HTTPS is supported by Magic SEO URL automatically (in case of http://www.example.com and https://www.example.com). Only if the HTTPS connection is different it is necessary to enable it manually.

well, but i think that this version is having a technical solution is that i can define the category that the SEO will be working on, that i disabled the SEO on my cart, logging area, reviews and some others that might face problems using the SEO, and thats good, for me, i need the SEO on the products and their attributes, and i don't care if the link for the cart was PHP one, because m y target is to promote my products on search engines not my cart, because my cart will follow...as far as i know!:cool:

dont you think so?

Sounds like it meets your need! That's great!

I have this mod correctly installed on http://www.fuzzibunz.us and I am trying get it working on http://thebestofgifts.com I have done the .htaccess files the same with the same settings in Admin but the gifts site goes to error pages for the index and all categories.

Any idea what's happening here? The first is hosted with ICDsoft and the second with Godaddy. The Godaddy site is for a client and I am not familiar with them and don't know if that is what is making the difference. The site works fine when SEO URLs are turned off.

Thanks, Amy

it seems there are certain options on the hosting server that effects te working of the SEO that yet we didn't recognize them...

So you still haven't been able to get it working? Does it still go to the error pages for you?

well, for me i removed V3.0beta, and i installed v2.1.. with Zen 1.3.7 enabled, it have some patches, and it worked very great, it allowed me to enable and disable SEO in any section i want, among these sections are the cart and the login page.

it only have one problem, sometimes when the scripted is not loaded completely i see the ?zenid=...... after the .html

but its still fine for me,, my ranking is imporoving slowely but fine!

i think that you should use it also, because the functions in v3 depends on the server settings i think.

best wishes
