Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

yellow1912:

When you check your alias in the manager, what do you see? BTW, you have to delete all ssu cache file, and i really mean it whem i say all. A good way to do it is to gp in each main sub folder (products, categories, pc, alias,...) and delete whatever you see in there. The Clear all cache in the manager is supposed to do that for you. It is strange it cant delete the files. Must be some special setting on your server.

I've gone into each of the top level folders in the ssu folder and deleted everything.

There is nothing in the aliases area in the manager

Thanks yellow1912,
I upgraded my version of SSU and that fixed the problem. I had assumed the version on zen-cart.com was the lastest.

I have another problem. I had a sale yesterday and it did not appear in my google analytics e-commerce code. I am using the Google Analytics plugin for Zen Cart and it had been working up until now.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
In your ssu setting, check the query exclude list, do you see gclid?

If you see nothing in there, it means that it is not on yet. Please post your ssu setting here.

Sorry for wasting your time. I just re-checked analytics and it is there now. I believe that it just took longer to post to analytics then the basic traffic data.

Thanks again.

Just a hint, but for example before you have ssu you use site.com/index.php?main_page=checkout_success for your "goal" url, now you have to change it to site.com/checkout_success.

Is this something related to your case?

Very weird, setting looks right.

But the fact that you see nothing in side the alias table means that no alias is built. I would assume that you turn on the auto alias after you turn ssu and alias status on for a while, so all the cache is already built. But, if it is the case, then when you delete your cache you should not have that problem at all.

Try this:

1. Turn ssu off for a few minutes
2. Make sure all cache files are cleared.
3. Turn it on again

If you need more help and want me to get into your site to check things for you, pm me (and it's free ^_^)

If I turn if off then the whole site ends up linking back to the static web page which is the index page for the site. So something is not right somewhere.

So I've rolled the code back to remove SSU

I want to ask a question do my url suppose to have that long zen id tale to it like this

http:// www. currysgiftshop.com/gifts-for-her-c-22?zenid=5eea7dab8e9babd37ce1df15cda5398f

I was having some problem with my customer loging in and support from my hosting company said "I checked the site and it looks like it is being caused by a coding issue.

https:// www. currysgiftshop.com/index/?zenid=e3e89998f3972f5f8aa68185d7194694?zenid=e3e89998f3972f5f8aa68185d7194694

The url is trying to send the value for zenid twice. If I remove the second one, and just go to the url

https:// www. currysgiftshop.com/index/?zenid=e3e89998f3972f5f8aa68185d7194694" any idea why this will happen.

@Steve_A : Yes, exactly, if you turn it off it will go back to the normal links, that is the desired behavior. At the same time, it will also stop creating new cache file. So just turn it off for a few mins, use that time to clean up all cache files, then switch on again!

First thing: zenid is supposed to be there on the first time the visitors visits the site, this is zencart desired bahavior
Second: no there shouldnt be a duplicated zenid

Your version?
First upgrade to 3.5.8 if you havent, then clear ssu cache, then let me know if that still happens.

I don't believe I've configured a goal URL, but I will keep this in mind. I think the plugin just tracts e-commerce transactions and that still seems to be working. When I checked this morning it said I had a 0% conversion rate even though Zen Cart had recorded a sale. After I posted that I was having problems, I checked analytics again and saw a transaction.

Thanks

Thanks I updated it said beta 3.5.1 I didn't see the 3.5.8. I login ok but I still got http:// www.
currysgiftshop.com/account?zenid=f2f5a4f0bd1d97f04ba2d80ed2db99e4&zenid=f2f5a4f0bd1d97f04ba2d80ed2db99e4 then I loged out and loged back in and this time the url https:// www
.currysgiftshop.com/account.html the first its not a secure url. I thought maybe it was because I have dual pricing, even if so the urls suppose to be secure.

Please also describe a step by step process to reproduce the problem (after you upgrade)

No, it messed the whole site up an kept throwing me back to the static html page which is the index for the site. That was after I'd turned it off and delete the cache files

If you can, create a temporary account for your ftp and admin the pm me so I can check it for you. It's faster for both of us that way, since I dont know exactly what's going on your side.

OK I swapped over to the file set without SSU installed. Cleared down all the cache flles. Went into the DB and truncated the links_aliases table and then swapped the file sets back over and its now working.

Surely the contents of that table should be visible in the manage aliases drop down?

My Zencart install uses newzen_ as a prefix.. just wondering if thats upsetting things?

Yes, it should be visible when you click the manage link alias, let me take a SS for you to see

Very odd, mine is totally empty

Firebug reports that jquery.dump.js is missing and I can't find it anywhere in my downloaded copy

It's okie, that file is missing is not a big problem. So when you click on "click here" on the manage link alias you dont see any thing? Any error except the file missing?

You can go into admin/ssu.php and take out the line that include jquery.dump.js to see if it helps.
