Chemo's Ultimate URL's

Absolute:

The above link works for me, and I'm prompted to download the zip file. Do you not get the zip file download? Which browser are you using, and do you have downloads disabled? Try using FireFox, rather than IE.

Absolute

OK, got rid of all the extra downloads, inzipped one & took a look.
There's no documentation!
What do I do with it, or where can I find documentation.
I would prefere something that tells me what to do step-by-step, because I can (usually) follow instructions but I can't code or do stuff above beginner levels!
If you can steer me in the right direction, or give me a "roadmap"??, I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance

Hi All,

Anybody has trouble filtering the bots out wth the latest version (2.105) from the Zencart downloads area?

I see the Google bot being at 400+ hits, yesterday I had the same with the Yahoo crawler.

I changed the tpl_footer.php code to:

(note the spider_flag addition, it used to be like this with previous versions, seems to be removed from 2.105).

It does not seem to work. This change worked with previous versions of this mod.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Sorry, wrong thread, please ignore.

Hi,

I am trying to use Seo Urls 3.0.0-beta1 with zen cart 1.38a. It works for a short period of time then turns off literally. I go into my configurations and somehow it is off. It wouldn't be a problem if I had the time to turn it on every 5 min or so :-P.

PLEASE HELP. Any tips appreciated

Nevermind I got it. I'm just dumb

a_jagawat & Doodlebuckets...did you ever get USU 3 beta working on your GoDaddy hosting accounts? I'm having the same problem...works great on my development server, but the moment I upload and enable it on the production server at GoDaddy, all the links spit out 404s. Not totally surprising given that GoDaddy seems to employ non-standard configurations. I just wish I could figure out what's breaking the mod rewrite (which does work with other rules I've tried).

Absolute:

SupuS - check your HTACCESS file setup, as ALL pages currenctly lead to the same 404 page by the look of it. This could just be that the HTACCESS needs to be updated.

Stargre - the menu in the admin is stored in the database. Firstly, check that the database contains the menu if you can. This is can be found in the configuration_groups table. You then uses this ID to find all the configuration values within the configuration table, with this group ID. If there are no records here at all, it suggests that the SEO classes are not being called correctly. Which version of the SEO are you using, and can you post a link to your store?

Hi there,

I am having this same issue. I checked and there are records with my SEO group ID in the configuration table. I am using version 2.0 of the SEO URLS, and am using ZenCart 1.3.8a. The store can be found at https://www.bellaraine.com

Thank you!

Hmmm...nevermind, this is bizarre, but the menu is now showing up! Could going into the database have somehow triggered that? Very odd, but at least it's working now!

With the database records, they are all installed in the database with the same script, so if they are in the configuration table, they should also ne in the configuration_group table. Once there is a record in teh configuration_group, this is used to populate the admin menus.

The records only appear in the database, once the SEO module has been installed, and a page has been visited, and the class initiated for the first time. It may be that this first visit hadn't been completed when you checked into the admin.

Absolute

Ah that makes sense, thank you!

Hello,

Just want to make sure SEO-Url. 3.0.0-beta 1 is the still the newest version?

LINA

Running ZC v1.38a on a localhost WAMP server. I installed Ultimate SEO v 2.105. I discovered that if I placed a product in the cart and then tried to return to that product page by clicking on the product name in the cart, I got a "Forbidden Access" error. The link had a long ID appended to the page name such as:
localhost/newzen/embark-p-546:b77b08f707992a5d739bd25dcf2d0d77.html.
This only happens with products that have attributes. The customer needs to be able to return to the product page from the cart to edit the attributes, if desired (using Edit Cart mod). (The error occurred without the Edit Cart mod installed.) I have tested the following configurations on the WAMP server:
Apache / PHP / MySQL
2.0.58 / 5.14 / 5.0.22
2.2.4 / 5.2.3 / 5.0.41
2.2.4 / 4.4.7 / 5.0.41

All of these FAILED (Forbidden Access error) but the system worked OK on my remote GoDaddy server: Apache 1.3.33, PHP 4.3.11, MySQL 5.0.45.
I know this problem has been seen before. Are there any explanations as to what is happening? Any solutions? I am leary to use the 3.0 beta version on a production shop. :frusty:

Check to make sure that your htaccess file is setup correctly. You need to make sure that the -p- line allows all alpha-numeric characters, and of course the colon. It may be that your file currently sees the colon as a disallowed character when checking the URL and so does not apply the correct rule.

I am using the .htaccess file as supplied in the mod and it is located in the root folder of the shop. The -p- line reads:
RewriteRule ^(.)-p-(.).html$ index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Where do I specify the allowed characters? I searched for 'QUERY_STRING' but could not find a relevant reference to it where I could define the allowed characters.

The (.*) denotes which characters are allowed - here it is anything.

2 things to check - firstly check your error logs, as these may tell you the URL of the page you were trying to access, and so shed some light on whether apache is actually rewritting the URLs for you.

Secondly, have you ever had the SEO URL mod working on this server? You may need to check if you have mod_rewrite enabled.

thanks for the quick reply.
I checked the error logs for Apache and PHP and NO errors.
I checked the httpd.conf file for the apache server:
(NOTE: Remember, this is a localhost server on my desktop system)

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

<Directory "E:/wamp/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

UserDir "e:/wamp/Apache2/users/"

DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm index.html.var

AccessFileName .htaccess

<FilesMatch "^.ht">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

There are other .htaccess files in the subdirectories so I haven't checked whether one of them is overriding the one in the root. Any particular ones I should check?
Even more interesting, why did it work on the GoDaddy server? I noted that GoDaddy has Global Registers ON and my WAMP system has it OFF. I turned Global Registers ON for the WAMP but no difference.
The number appended to the URL is related to the product attribute selected

how do I do this?

4. Remove the configuration entry from your database.

Firstly, BACKUP your database, as these tables affect your WHOLE store, and should not be "played" with!

Go into phpMyAdmin, and check configuration_group table. Make a note of the SEO URLs group id. You need to delete this row from this table. You then need to search the configuration table for all records with the group id you got from the configuration_group table for the SEO URL group. Remove all these records as well.

Thats it.
