Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

I know Yellow. I read that yesterday when I read the instructions the first time. But how do I create a .keep file?

Ian

I guess you need to read it 1 more time then :)

TROUBLESHOOTING: After installing itself, this module writes a file named ".keep" in admin\includes\module_installation, if your server doesnt allow it to do so, it may make the module attempting to install itself everytime. The fix is easy though, just manually create a .keep file there (after the module has already installed itself, of course)

Ok, I guess I'm a damn idiot. The only thing I've got in my module installation folder is a install.sql file. I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't know how to create .keep files because I've never done this and yes, I read it 2 or 3 times prior to this. I looked on my server in that same folder and all I found was a yellow1912_ssu folder. Am I supposed to run the install.sql in my admin to get this .keep file? I have no idea what we are doing here. I'm a mechanical engineer, not a programmer.

Go to this folder **admin\includes\module_installation

Create a new file named .keep **in there

Make sense?

Okie dokie. I created a .keep file using Notepad++, which is strange to me because I always thought a file has to be something like name.extension but I guess not. That's what was throwing me off. So, I got it installed and it's renaming my pages but now the pages are "not found" when you go to them. Does this mean I screwed up something? I did edit it to max name length 30

I think you have set the htaccess not correct, perhaps, for your setting you should change
RewriteBase /zencart/

to

RewriteBase /catalog/

That file is ".htaccess" placed in your zencart root folder.

Ah hah, I had read that and wondered what it meant. Well now I know. Man my brain is fried from playing with zencart. I think I'm gunna go take a long lunch break. Thanks Yellow.

Can someone help with this. The module updated and now I get this:

/_info/cookies-brownies-fudge-cookies-c-98_981/red-hearts-cookie-bouquet-p-1446

and I'm pretty sure it should be /product_info/
not /_info/

Anyone know how to fix this? This is a live site and now I'm getting page not found on all of my product...

You shouldnt even get /product_info/ at all.

Your SSU version? Any link for us to see?

i am trying some set some link aliases but when after clicking the "Manage Aliases" link i get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function retrieve_aliases()

I am testing 3.6.0 rc5 i have double checked and i think i have all the files in place

any ideas?

Module Manager says:

1 yellow1912_ssu 12 Beta 3.6.0 RC4 update

It was working great until today.

I did install the FAQ module but it doesn't overwrite any files.

I removed the wrong file during updating, please download the package and again and re-upload admin folder only

Should solve it for you

Do you use a special product type that is not product_info? What happens when you clear SSU cache? This is a weird behavior indeed. And although FAQ manager may not overwrite anything it may affect that. I will need to check that module to make sure.

No. I did try the module:

EXTRA DESCRIPTION FILES 0.2

Created by Mariusz Józala ( http://zencart.aetas.pl )

today, but it wasn't what I had wanted or expected, so I uninstalled it and followed the directions. I also double checked to make sure I removed all files.

Could this have changed something somewhere? It didn't overwrite any files.

Clearing the SSU cache doesn't help.

Should I try restoring my database to the backup I made this morning?

Actually if I can do this any other way than restoring the database, that would be great. I've had orders come in since then and would have to mess with the tables.

Would either of those modules effect it in that way?

I have jus tried your mod on fresh local install of 1.3.8 - works perfectly.

I have then ttried to install on a local copy of my live site - 1.3.7 Seem to have a small problem when I try to load a product page the product name shows but the rest of the product page does not change and I am left with the product listing page.

Is there a small tweak needed for version 1.3.7. - I have not upgraded my live site as I need to have a 3rd party link to my accounts package working and I have not got to testing this with current 1.3.8 version.

Hence would like to get you latest version of SEO URL working with the 1.3.7 version

Let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks

It should work, but it requires php5, wonder if that could be a problem. If the page does not show completely, turn on the debug log and see what error you have
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=82

Then post the error here.

if you can, please just do this very briefly:
Turn off SSU quickly, then go to your store and get the product link, post it here, I will see if there is something that may get in the way. At the same time, please also get RC5 and upload, I dont think there is any bug that may cause the problem but perhaps some files were messed up and reuploading can help.

Even when I turn SSU off I still have the same problem...

http://www.munchiegifts.com/index.php?main_page=_info&cPath=78_1048&products_id=1465

Getting page not found still.

Will upgrade to RC5 in about 15min. Have something to do real fast.

Will post again when it's uploaded.

Thanks for helping me with this!

Thank you for the very quick response.

I have installed the debug file but get no log. (I have changed the cache to writable but each time I go back to it it is read only) Running WAMP with PHP5 on vista pc for testing purposes localy.

If I get not log I am guessing this means no issue identified. The page is not blank it is the product lising page but the heading changes to that of the product clicked on.

I have reloaded your files just incase I had missed one on install. but still the same issue.

Thanks
