Chemo's Ultimate URL's

Whooo hooo - sorted! :smile:

Basically, i copied and pasted everything below

// The HTML form submit button wrapper function

from the old file to the new one. It works now.

Well, i've got a right mish mash of forms going on here but, as long as it works, that's the main thing!!! :smile:

Does anybody know why, sometimes, when I visit my website it seems that the url's are not being "SEO'd"...?? When I hit F5 to refresh, everything cleans right up. It's like it takes a second or two before the SEO starts kicking in. Very strange.

Check it out yourself and hover your mouse over the categories on the left. Notice the url's, then refresh the screen. Then notice them.

And it will do it every time you close your browser and reopen it. (as long as your cache is cleared every time you exit firefox or ie)

Very strange!

Another day another (small problem)

The SEO on my pages has changed slightly. For example, in the past it would read:

http://www.handcrafteduk.com/ethnicgiftspeacockfeathers-c-3_46.html

but now there are some - in the address and it reads

http://www.handcrafteduk.com/ethnic-gifts-peacock-feathers-c-3_46.html

Google has indexed my pages in the old version so i don't want that to change. Strangely, both versions of the link work.

Does anyone know what file I can alter (and how!) so that I can get the l go back to my previous version?

Many thanks,

Gary :smile:

Hi canemasters,

Which version of zen are you running and, which version of the SEO URL have you installed?

Hello,

Can anybody kindly tell me which SEO module works the best for Zencart 1.3.8?
The seo_urls. 3.0.0-beta 1 or Ultimate_SEO_URLs_v2.106?

I am confused. Why seo_urls. 3.0.0-beta 1 has higher version number?

I am having trouble with SEO URLS after upgrading to 1.3.8a
Not sure if it is self-inflicted, but haven't had much luck with support...

No experience with the other product you mentioned.

I am having trouble to get the new SEO urls to work in my menu.

I do get redirected to the correct seo url, but the links in my menu are still the old ones.

The .htacces file is in the correct folder and I have changed the /shop/ to / as / is my zencart folder.

I have tried several options in de config section of seo urls. If i disable the automatic redirects (as recommended in the readme file) than the SEO urls don't work at al.

My site is http://crazygifts.nl

I have zencart 1.3.7 and SEO url 2.106

If you're talking about the ?zenid=blahblahblah stuff.. thats normal. When a visitor first opens up your website a session needs to be created, and afterwards its stored in a cookie, which is why you no longer see ?zenid=blahblahblah on your URL's afterwards.

And what happens if the visitor has cookies turned off??

Thanks. That explains it.

I'm running ZC 1.3.8 with ultimate_seo_urls_2.106

When clicking a category I was getting a URL not found error. This was caused by the htaccess file missing the leading dot in the filename. Added it and SEO works perfectly! Hope this helps someone.

please check out my new thread here:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88073

I'm having a small problem while looking at a product, the subcategory image is pointing to "-c-.html", and that's it, and it's on every single product. I think it's related to the .htaccess file provided by the latest version of ultimate seo urls.

Thank you.

Same problem here. Just installed SEO.

I've installed the module 2.015 I have version 1.37 using paypal. I changed the Htaccess text inside the file to /store/. My store is a https://www.rjfinewood.com/store

I changed the name of the file to htaccess and uploaded it the the store direvtory.

Is this right, because it is not changing the URL's? This seems so simple. Also the config file is there in admin and enable is set true .

Help Thanks
:huh:

RJ

I may be wrong, but try changing the htaccess file to just "/store", or just "/". Mine is set to "/" and it works fine.

Your url's seem to be wrong. example:

http://rjfinewood.com//store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=17

Those two forward slashes aren't good. something's wrong.

Oh yeah, make sure the mod is enabled in your admin section.

Did you change the name to "htaccess" or to ".htaccess"? There has to be "." at the beginning of the name.
Some FTP programs won't accept the "." name so you have to upload the text file as something like "htaccess.txt" and then rename the file once it is in your host directory

Thanks for your help now I need to get Ultimate SEO removed.

I installed Magic SEO after removing Ultimate SEO. The installation went fine J help was there with email support and all seems just fine until I tried to add some categories and products. Now I am getting.

404 Not Found
The requested URL /store/admin/categories.php does not exist.

I left an email for J and received this back

"This has nothing to do with Magic SEO URL. It will be likely caused by your customized .htaccess file or by missing file (MSU leaves administration untouched - is initialized only in catalog)."

I did not touch the .htaccess file its contents were generated by magic SEO URL. There is still something left from the Ultimate SEO install . The admin/config/ SEO is still there. What file could be left? I have double check all that was added? Also is there any file that were rewritten?

Thanks
RJ

As with any contrib, the best way to remove is to download the zip file and see the structure in the zip. then look for each of those files in your server and remove them. Then check to ensure there is no matching file in the zen-cart zip file so this way you know that you didn't remove a needed file.

Sounds like you are using 1.3.8, which had specific files for the categories and products php files in the admin area. You need to restore the ones from the default zen-cart install.

Hi,
I installed this before on a test shop and it worked fine.
I have just installed on another site and I get the following error:

1054 Unknown column 'c.parent_id' in 'on clause'
in:
[SELECT c.categories_id as id, c.parent_id, cd.categories_name as cName, cd2.categories_name as pName FROM categories c, categories_description cd LEFT JOIN categories_description cd2 ON c.parent_id=cd2.categories_id AND cd2.language_id='1' WHERE c.categories_id=cd.categories_id AND cd.language_id='1']

If I view source it gives a little more info and says:

I have gone into the Admin section and turned off SEO, but still get this error when I try to go to my store. The store is the in the root of the domain, so I changed the .htaccess to be just / (instead of /shop/)

Can anyone tell me what I am donig wrong? I am using ZenCart v1.38a (whereas the previous shop was in v1.37)

Did you copy both the core files and the 1.3.8 specific files "after" the core files?
