Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

I have got it installed, installation went smooth and I have been able to activate the modules. However, when I try to click on any category, it just sent me to the home page instead of loading the category product page.

I am using ZC 1.3.8a. I have previously have the SEO-URLs Beta installed, however, I have disable the modules in Admin and have also change the .htaccess to the one provided by SSU. Running on Windows platform.

Any idea where I am doing wrong? :blush:

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

I have installed this mod and it is great, but I have a problem:

with ezpages, for the ezpages with external links I don't have problem.
But with the ezpages with a text page and not external or internal links I have the problem
**error 1054 ezpages
**In fact if I disabled SSU the problem disappear.

1054 Unknown column 'pages_title' in 'field list'
in:
[SELECT pages_title FROM ezpages WHERE pages_id ='6' AND languages_id = '2']

you try
hxxp://www.giocattoliamo.it/demosugar/
and click on right on guida per registrarsi

please :blush:

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

You will have to check your zen version as well as your ezpage table. The column pages_title should be in your ezpages table.

If you run it on windows platform (IIS), I believe you need to have htaccess module installed. Maybe you can check with your host regarding this issue.

My version of zencart is 1.3.8a
The error says that you dont have the column named pages_title in your ezpages table. But this column should be there if you have zen 1.3.8a. That is why I suggest you checking your table. You can use phpmyadmin to view the structure of the table

I suspect your zencart version may be updated from an old version? Because there is no table ez_pages_content in the default 1.3.8a. There is only table ezpages, which has pages_title column in that.

Anyhow, there is a way to work around that with your current database structure. But I do suggest you to check if your database is really up-to-date. You can go to admin, then go to version on the right hand side and see your zen database version/patch level.

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

I suspect you use the ez-pages multi language module, this module moves the pages_title to another table.

One way to get around that is:

Open your includes/classes/ssu/plugins/parsers/pages.php

Find this line

        static $table            = TABLE_EZPAGES;

Replace by

        static $table            = TABLE_EZPAGES_TEXT;

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

A bit of feedback, I'll try to be brief, I know you are busy... I tried your suggestion below and everything I tried broke the page (adding the 'en' =>'en' into the array and so on.

However I changed the /includes/classes/ssu/cores/language.php code (as you said in the thread given) and changed:

function removeNonAlphaNumeric($name, $name_delimiter){
return preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/", $name_delimiter, $name);
}

to:

function removeNonAlphaNumeric($name, $name_delimiter){
$tempVar = str_replace("é","e",$name);
$name=$tempVar;
return preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/", $name_delimiter, $name);
}

This seems to have done the trick :clap: Do you think that this could cause any problems I haven't understood or is it an ok way to do it?

Cheers, Jim

yellow1912:

Note that many browsers can not properly display non english characters, so those have to be either **removed **or **encoded **or replaced.

I guess the first option is easy to understand, for the 2nd option:
by encoding, your non english characters will be translated to something like this %98 (just an example, but you will see weird characters in the url). Some browsers such as firefox can show the nice and correct form of these characters on the address bar, some dont (IE 7 cant)

The 3rd option is replace the non-english characters by something equivalent to it. For example, you can replace é by e. If you go with this option, you can peak into includes/classes/ssu/plugins/languages/he.php to see an example. Then you will have to to follow the thread below to override the default language parser which is being used for English.

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=678465&highlight=language#post678465

PS: by default, if your store is using English language, then SSU chooses the "remove" option for any non alpha numeric characters in the names.

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Please help...
I think i am getting a Alias problem...

When I click "Click here"

Manage Aliases: Click here

I get the following page

1146 Table 'lifeslip_zen.links_aliases' doesn't exist
in:
[SELECT * FROM links_aliases]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Why is this happening?? Before it didn't...

My website is: anycigarette [com]

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

For whatever reason when you host recovers from crash it doesnt seem to recover completely,

You can go to your admin - tools - sql patch tool and try
delete from table module_version_tracker where module_code = 'yellow1912_ssu';

Then go to admin - extras - ssu to have the patches reapplied.

Yap, I have ISAPI Rewrite modules installed which works with .htaccess as previously I have it running for the SEO URL Beta which runs well. Do you say this has something relate to the .htaccess issue?

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Normally, if you click on a link and it simply loads the home page there are several things to check:

  1. htaccess (mod rewrite working? RewriteBase set correctly?)
  2. is the module properly installed? If you go to admin -configuration - ssu settings, do you see all the options?

I can see the ssu settings at the admin configuration. I have the store install on the root folder of the domain, thus I have used use / as the rewritebase. I will try enable the modules and try out again with findings.

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Hi Yellow,

I've just spent that last 6 hours combing the forums and my eyes are about to pop out of my head. If built the entire site but over the last few days everything seems to be heading south... (I think since I installed Link Manager).. I noticed your id come up quite a bit in the same support forums I've been reading and I was hoping you could help point me in the right direction...
Here are my issues:

  1. Google XML Sitemaps - The XML Files I am submitting to Google are not registering the correct SSU URL's. Instead they are compiling and submitting the default URL's. I've tried every bit of advise in the Google Sitemaps forums & the SSU forums but no luck..

  2. Image Handler - Again... I've read the entire Image Handler 2 Support Forum and it is mentioned many times... But every fix offered is not working for me.
    This nagging problem is with Safari, Chrome and IE, the hover images are not appearing directly beside the image. They appear at the top of the page, above the fold (out of sight when I scroll to the bottom of a long page... like the 'all products' page).

  3. Since I've installed Link Manager Plugin - My Lightbox stopped working... I have since tried to install Slimbox but it does not work either. I've settled for Image Handler for the time being, but that is giving me issues as well...

My Site is http://GuruSeeds.com and my email is [email protected].

Thank you for your time, any support would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Ken

  1. I'm not sure which module you use here. But if the sitemap module uses zen_href_link function to generate links then they should have the correct form. More info will help to answer this.

  2. This has nothing to do with SSU. I believe you have to upload all js and css files found in the template_default folder in IH2 package to your current template folder to fix this.

  3. This has nothing to do with any module I wrote. So I suggest you post the question in the corresponding thread since Im not very familiar with either of those 2 plugins.

For the first issue, make sure you have ssu cache folder writable.
and are you sure ssu is causing it? one way to know is to simply turn off ssu and see.

for the second issue, this has nothing to do with ssu. your server setting doesnt support short hand tag, that's it.
