Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

kbaxta:

Thank for your time Yellow!

  1. I am using simple_seo_url_3-5-1. If you take a look here: http://guruseeds.com/sitemapproducts.xml you'll notice that the XML file is not compiling SSU URL's... Is this how they are supposed to be sent to Google even though my site displays SSU URL's?

  2. I have done this 3 times, I've double checked the files, downloaded the module again and re-uploaded the files to both template_default and the classic template folders... Still the problem persists.
    I have searched the forums high and low, and this fix is mentioned numerous times but not one person has reported a successful outcome to this fix... including me!:(
    If you are using 3.5.1, you are way of out date, please upgrade.

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

MikeyG:

No errors or anything coming up when calling the ssu_check.php file.

Having clicked the alias manager I get :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function retrieve_aliases() in E:\Server\mydomain\admin\ssu.php on line 32

This is on my testing server on my laptop. Does this mean a file is missing?
Download the package from the server again should fix this fatal error problem for you

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

hello it went all ok, but now...
I had to move my directory from

hxxp://www.giocattoliamo.it/demosugar
to
hxxp://www.giocattoliamo.it

but now it doesn't go SSU, if I disable SSu all goes, if I enable it gives on product 500 internal server error

I have tried also to reset all cache from fix_cache_key
and from extra>ssu manager

How can I do?

Please :frusty:

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

If you move folder, you need to change htaccess

In your case, you have to change to RewriteBase /

BOF SSU

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

Deny access from .htaccess

RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA]

EOF SSU

but it doesn't go

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

I remebered that in some times it needs to uncomment
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

so i write
#Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
and now it goes.

Can you confirm that also with this modify the mod functions well?

thank you very much, for your answers, rapid and clean.

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

boh now it goes also with options uncommented.....

but I see on bar below when I go over with mouse for example over a category that in that bar I see the name without rewrite.

But then If I click on product or categorie, I see at top the address rewrite

In this case, it is possible that whoever coded your template hardcoded the links and did not use zen_href_link to generate the links.

Edit: after looking at it more carefully, it's more likely that something went wrong in this case:

The manufacturer links seem to be hardcoded because the "demosugar" folder is still there in the link?

The category links and other links are not translated to seo urls, this is most likely because the change in html_output.php file is over-written for some reason. This should help you:

B. Open your current includes/functions/html_output.php

  • find the function zen_href_link
  • find this line:
    global $request_type, $session_started, $http_domain, $https_domain; Insert these lines below that line:
    //bof simple seo url
    global $ssu;
    if(is_object($ssu) && ($link = $ssu->ssu_link($page, $parameters, $connection, $add_session_id, $search_engine_safe, $static, $use_dir_ws_catalog))!= false) return $link;
    //eof simple seo url

Ok Yellow, I've updated to your newest version (the link attached to your signature) Now everything is updated and running. I've cleared the cache yet Google XML Sitemap is still parsing the old URL's. How can I change this so it compiles and submits the new SSU URL's?

But when I view your site I dont see any link in seo form anyway? So it's more like you have not turned on ssu in the first place?

Edit: You have the same mistake with giuly from the post above, you forgot to edit your html_output.php

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

I tried out any other things that I can including:

  1. Upgrading the Modules Manager to the latest rev16
  2. Upgrading the SSU to 3.6.1-Beta
  3. Check and make sure cache folder is having 777 permission
  4. Make sure .htaccess is working on the ISAPI_Rewrite module which is installed on the server. IIS MMC for the site is detecting the .htaccess correctly.
  5. Restarted the IIS services.

I have also run the SSU check on the server and get the screen shot as attached. I have tried to copy the advisable .htaccess over but still the same. Tried with the .htaccess content from the wik - same result.

I then disable the SSU and reenable SEO-URLs Beta with the SEO URLs Beta .htaccess, page loaded fine - categories works well with the every clicks.

Any other ideas? :blink:

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

yellow, can you pls explain in detail how the auto alias works?

What happens if I change the title of a product? Will the url reset to the new title text automatically or only after cache is cleared? Or after manually editing he alias links?

I understand from your tutorial how the alias is working but I am confused how the auto alias is affecting the whole thing. Please explain.

--> Only after cache is clear and only if the alias is not set as permanent

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

Not sure if I get it right, but sound like you have 2 seo modules installed? Sorry but it will not work that way. SSU will not work with any other SEO module installed.

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

I'ved just realized that both of the carts I'm working on, with Simple SEO, have the same problem. With simple seo enabled when you click on add to cart it doesn't take you to the cart like it should. I get the feeling you guys have seen this before?

This bug has been reported in version 3.5.1 and fixed. So it's more than likely you are using an old version. Please consider upgrading to 3.6.1

A link to the specific site will help, also please turn on SSU on that site so I can test.
