I'm not certain if this was covered anywhere in this thread or not. At nearly 20 pages it's a lot to look through :cry:

I installed this mod on my new 1.3.8 store. Installation was a breeze and I liked the 'html' output I was able to get with the mod.

However, I now notice that when I access any portion via SSL, the page initially goes secure (in Firefox your address bar turns yellow) but as soon as the requested page loads it drops back to unsecure.

The url in the address bar still shows https://www.yoursite.com, but the page is in fact not secured any longer.

If I remove the mod problem goes away. Reinstall it and it's back.

Anyone else have this same problem/know of a fix?

IS your site SSL or not? Did you set ssl true in the configure.php's?

A link would help too...

Can you access your admin with SSL enabled?

SEO Urls is collapsing '/' so that part number 250/2 becomes 2502, a completely different part number. I've tried the following 2 character conversions in admin with no luck
/=>-
/=>1
(and pound 47;)

I've also reset the cache. Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Dustin

JHouse:

While I got this mod working too, a serious concern is that it doesn't really have much support for it any more, from what I could tell from the lack of recent responses from the creators. Another major issue is that some of the pages end up getting multiple urls, thus many addresses for the same page, which can be perceived as duplicate content to the search engine spiders (a huge no-no). Here's a perfect example...

This page has many addresses (click on each one and they'll go to the same page):

http://www.discountbabyshowerfavors.com/baby-favors-c-1.html
http://www.discountbabyshowerfavors.com/baby-c-1.html
http://www.discountbabyshowerfavors.com/-c-1.html

You bring up an interesting point and I would like to see if I can duplicate your results. Can you tell me the methodology used?

Also, can one presume that with USEO turned OFF and using the same methodology, one will still get 4 results showing the same page?

I just used one of the dude's links, then changed it a few times to see if it would produce the same page, and sure enough it done did. That said, modify the url and you'll get the same results.

Have a good one.

OK, sounds like you were not using any methodology other than creating your own URLs, which is different than getting a response base on a Search Engine lookup.

Based on that I'd say there is not a problem.

I am very careful before I install a mod or tinker around to do a complete backup first, and restore from backup if there is the slightest problem.

That being said, as it turns out my problem was not due to this particular mod at all (see http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=541018#post541018 ) , but was the result of a sidebox displaying content that itself was not secure.

I had apparently installed two mods into the store for testing, while thinking I had only installed this one... sorry! :oops:

Ultimate SEO works for my site without any problem.
Had to tweak the RewriteRule in htaccess for the pages under "Define Pages" though.

:clap:

I am trying to ban an ipadress and am not having any luck. The ono.com has about 50 connections and I put the
order allow,deny
deny from 212.183.215
allow from all
at the beginning of my htaccess file and the guys is still there.. I'm feeling desparate as this site is being shown on HSN today and it's becoming slow.

The htaccess file:

order allow,deny
deny from 212.183.215
allow from all
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

From Ultimate SEO URLs

ErrorDocument 403 /index.php?main_page=error403
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
ErrorDocument 500 /index.php?main_page=error500

Think about this for a minute:

deny from 212.183.215
allow from all

Do you see what you did?

By default "all" is used. You need only to declare whom you want to block.

Replace all this:
order allow,deny
deny from 212.183.215
allow from all

With this:
deny from 212.183.215

Wow... I AM an idiot!:blush:

Thank you... :c)

I would prefer to say you are still learning... as we all are.
Only difference is we are all learning at different levels. :wink:

Hey all -

I just installed the SEO URL's on a new installation of ZenCart. I followed the directions, uploaded the files to where they needed to go, and then went in to the back end to configure it... and everything's in Spanish. Now, I have nothing against the Spanish language- but I can't read it.

Nothing else in my admin section is in Spanish (all English) just the SEO URL's config area. I've looked through the files to see if a spanish language file was in there, but nope. Not in my installation online either. I don't know if the download I have has an oopsie in it or what, but does anyone know how I can change this to English, please?

Sounds like there is some confusion in the downloads section.

You installed USEO v2.106 Spanish version by the sounds of it.

v2.106
Update added on Apr 28 2008 - Spanish
Update added on Jan 21 2008 - English

All I can suggest is to download again and get the earlier 2.106 version.

Okay - must be big confusion - because the older one is also Spanish.

Well, I've been able to muddle through and figure out what needs to be done, but...should maybe I report this to the creator? (OMG - I sound like I need to pray! LOL)

This module has been abandoned by its creator for a while i think.> doodlebee:

I followed the directions in read me, I downloaded the one for 1.3.7 because im on 1.3.7. After I uploaded everything and merged files/replace I went to my website and I get this

Warning: require_once(/home2/wiipmcom/public_html/includes/extra_configures/bmz_io_conf.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/wiipmcom/public_html/admin/includes/extra_configures/bmz_io_conf.php on line 12

now it says

Warning: require(includes/application_top.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/wiipmcom/public_html/index.php on line 26

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/application_top.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home2/wiipmcom/public_html/index.php on line **26

**

Ultimate SEO does not use files that include 'bmz' - that sounds like the Image Handler mod, nor does it use the 'extra_configures' dir.

Might be best to remove all previous USEO files and reinstall.
