Ultimate SEO URLs

Im gonna install the newest SEO URLs in ZC ver.1.3.8a am I going to have to update any hand written links in some product descriptions that point to other products and different places in the site?

Thanks,
John

Has anyone noticed this causing their site to reaaly slow down? I just added this but also added an affiliate manager as well. I believe one of them is making my site really slow. I want to add the seo urls to my other site but now I'm a little concerned that it may be what is making my site lag.
Anyone have this problem after installing this?

Thanks,
Kelly

Okay,
So I need to know what will happen to all the links I have hand written throughout my site when I apply ultimate urls.

Also the htaccess, /shop/. My shop is in public_html. Not in public_html/shop/ just in public.
So what do I change the htaccess to?

Thanks,
John

Theoretically, I believe that those links are supposed to be ignored, per this entry in the .htaccess:

# All other pages
# Don't rewrite real files or directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC] 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ index\.php?main_page=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

I am running USU on ZC 1.3.7, and everything is fine, except that the links in the "Information" box are redirecting to 404's. :huh:

I tried enabling Rewrite_Log to figure out why it's generating 404's, but that just caused the whole site to generate 500 Internal Server Errors. :dontgetit The logfile was created an chmod'ed 777, so, so much for that!!

There are no errors being written in the error log, nor are there any clues in the domlog.

I did set up a separate redirect to forward the Contact Us link to a separately-running helpdesk ... that's working fine now.

But the rest of the links are not showing the internal ZC pages that they should be.

You can see it in action here.

Any ideas??

Thank you for your help!!

Im not too hip with the the htaccess stuff. Ive tried a few different ways but I cant tell if its working or not.

I have the mod uploaded the htaccess in place and I've got nothing here.
Still have a store but same old urls. Also I have no admin>configure>Seo Urls.

Whats going on here?

Okay, I have kicked it's ########! missed an entire dir. :oops:
It's working now in the front side and the admin configure has an seo url!

Haven't looked at it yet tho so I'm sure there will be more questions soon.

Thanks,
John

My RSS is no longer functional. No errors just a blank page.

Hello all,
Im using the latest version of SEO URLs the latest version of WOZ and ver 1.3.8a of ZC also using the rss feed contribution.

I am trying to change the permalink setting in WOZ to custom. It let's me change it and it shows up in the address bar like it should but it wont display the blog post now. The address changes in the bar but you continue viewing the same page you were just on.

I am also having trouble with my RSS now. Since the SEO URLs were installed my RSS shows up as blank white pages. No errors, just blank pages.

Is this all related? Can you help?

Thanks,
John

Oh no.. I just installed this mod and I got this error:

1146 Table 'wishgivi_zc2.zen_seo_cache' doesn't exist
in:
[DELETE FROM zen_seo_cache WHERE cache_expires <= '2008-02-22 20:39:03']

And I found no tables for mod on the database.. what gives? I'm running 1.3.7, and I tried to install version 2.105

Anyone? I tried uninstalling it too and it won't go away.. I deleted all of the files but it still tries to load the mod! I couldn't find the seo_cache table in my database, either!! this is really frustrating

I'm suspecting that I have to change the code in /admin/includes/extra datafiles/seo.php: ```

<?php // // +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ // |zen-cart Open Source E-commerce | // +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ // | Copyright (c) 2005 Joshua Dechant | // | | // | Portions Copyright (c) 2004 The zen-cart developers | // | | // | http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php | // | | // | Portions Copyright (c) 2003 osCommerce | // +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ // | This source file is subject to version 2.0 of the GPL license, | // | that is bundled with this package in the file LICENSE, and is | // | available through the world-wide-web at the following url: | // | http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt. | // | If you did not receive a copy of the zen-cart license and are unable | // | to obtain it through the world-wide-web, please send a note to | // | [email protected] so we can mail you a copy immediately. | // +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ // $Id: seo.php // define('TABLE_SEO_CACHE', DB_PREFIX . 'seo_cache'); ?>

I tried changing it too

define('zen_', DB_PREFIX . 'seo_cache');

but that just added an extra prefix and I was getting the same error.

  define('zen_', DB_PREFIX . 'seo_cache');
```but that just added an extra prefix and I was getting the same error.

If you want this module removed, delete this file ... it's not needed anymore.

Are there any instructions for removing this mod safely and completely?

If so please advise.

Thanks.

I think you can solve it this way

there are two files named seo.php with the single line

define('TABLE_SEO_CACHE', DB_PREFIX . 'seo_cache');

one is in includes/extra_datafiles/seo.php
the other admin/includes/extra_datafiles/seo.php

Change the seo_cache to TABLE_SEO_CACHE so the line then reads as

define('TABLE_SEO_CACHE', DB_PREFIX . 'TABLE_SEO_CACHE');

The table is called TABLE_SEO_CACHE and this is used every where in the script as far as I can see. So I think seo_cache is just wrong in the context of the scripts for this SEO add on.

I finally got this working on my zen 1.3.7 site, and now I'm trying to put it on an older 1.2.7 site.

The only problem I'm having is with the SSL pages. I don't see this discussed anywhere in the thread. I started with an older version of Ultimate SEO url's, but then uploaded the newest version over the previous files.

The site is on a shared server, and whenever I click any page that should direct to the customer login, it goes to the host's homepage. I've compared the .htaccess file and the config settings to those on the 1.3.7 site that's working, but can't find any differences. Both sites use the same shared server, and the login links are fine when I disable the Ultimate SEO urls. The only other thing I can think of is that the 1.3.7 site that's working has a page_not_found page that is referenced in the .htaccess file. The older site does not have its own 404 page yet.

In the config, pages to rewrite setting, I don't think there are any login pages in the list.

I'd love to hear any ideas on this!

Thanks.

Grrrrrrrrrr.......I tried this mod also.
Very frustrating. It could be good but needs some work in order to make it fail-safe.

I just searched all of my modified files and DB for anything related to it and killed it.
At least the code was commented and easy to find.
I believe I removed several entries from at least one core table in the db also. May have been 2 tables.

I kept checking my error logs until I completely removed any mention of it.
My bad for not backing up properly before installing..

Anyway, Search and destroy.
Good luck. If you get stuck pm me and I could probably help. Make sure to make a backup before doing any of this.

Please help!

Does anyone know how I can tell this mod not to rewrite SSL pages for zen version 1.2.7???

I have played around with just about every version of this mod, and still no luck.

I got this working immediately with ZC 1.3.8, and I have several other modules installed too. I followed the instructions to the T, that's all I had to do. However, ahhh yes, the infamous however, I have a couple of issues:

1. I have "Add category parent to begining of URLs?" set to true, but the category name still isn't listed in the product url, just the category url. Any idea on how to change this?

2. When viewing the desired product, if one clicks on the product category link just above the product image, it takes them to a url like "-c-.html"

You can see it here: http://www.infothreads.com/ffascism-p-8.html

Try clicking on "political t shirts" just above and to the left of the t shirt/product photo. You'll soon see it takes you to: http://www.infothreads.com/-c-.html

These are my only two problems, other than that it works like a champ. Thank you so much for a great contribution. I used something similar for a client's oscommerce site ages ago and had great SEO success. Their traffic jumped significantly after doing so.

Ciao.

Dang, have people just given up on this awesome, well needed module?
