Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

bfmarini:

I've emptied the table and cleaned out the folders in the cache/ssu directory. Max category is set to 2.

Should this work?

Checked it again and it's working!

Is it possible to have the direct links to products display the link as

https://www.site.com/prodcut-name-here

rather than

www.site-com/category/category-1/product_name-here

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

As this time, the only thing you can do (I believe), is to limite the minimum category level to 1.
You can of course use link alias to eliminate the category name, but you have to do so manually for each product. Also, if you do want to do so, make sure you make the link permanent as well.

Yea I think it's working ....

http://www.kids-n-cribs.info/strollers/single/2009-maclaren-quest-sport-charcoal-silver-stroller

is the path created as the page is rendered.

This link: http://www.kids-n-cribs.info/2009-maclaren-quest-sport-charcoal-silver-stroller

will actually get you to the product, it's just rewritten when the page loads.

For SEO purposes, the more direct link will probably be better. Is there a sitemap that you would recommend over another that would work well with your seo mod?

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

Any sitemap should work if it uses zen_href_link function

As for the path, some prefer it to be more "structured" like that.

Oh ok.

When I go to deploy to my prod site. Can I simply copy the entire web root, upload the production versions of configure.php ( for admin/includes and includes ).

Once that is done, if I go into admin->extras->ssu, will all the SQL be run to create the necessary tables?

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

If you move the entire files as well as database then everything should be ready to go. Is it what you are asking? Also, make sure you change the htaccess if necessary.

The files will be moved, but the database will not be moved.

When I installed the SEO mod to my test site, the first time I went ot admin->extras->ssu, all the SQL scripts were run to create the necessary tables / inserts for the SSU Mod.

Once i've deployed the files to my prod site and I go to admin->extras->ssu for the first time, will the sql scripts get executed to build the necessary tables in production?

Is there still a .keep file that needs to be deleted prior to it knowing to run the sql scripts?

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

If you are not going to move the db, yes you have to delete .keep

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

Prior to installing the mod, our .htaccess was made up of the following:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^kids-n-cribs.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.kids-n-cribs.com/$1 [r=301,nc] 

With the mod, the 301 redirect seems to be no longer working. Is it still possible to have the 301 redirect and the SEO mod installed?

This is the new version, working for SEO, but 301 redirect is not working.

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^kids-n-cribs.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.kids-n-cribs.com/$1 [r=301,nc] 

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "test_site" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase / 
RewriteBase /

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

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

Any help would be awesome!

Thanks

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

Try

BOF SSU

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

Make sure to change "test_site" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase /

RewriteBase /

Deny access from .htaccess

RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{http_host} ^kids-n-cribs.com [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.kids-n-cribs.com/$1 [r=301,L]

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

EOF SSU

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

Did you follow all the steps including updating the config in admin as well as clearing cache?
Posted via Mobile Device

I updated the config as told here

http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zencart/modules/ssu/config

I cleaned the ssu cache and visited the ssu manager as told here

http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zencart/modules/ssu/upgrade

But it still isn't working because customers can't add anything to cart. What do you recommend next? Thanks.

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

Hi,

I have everything up and working, but noticing a couple things in the supertracker mod.

The last page viewed is always showing up as Page Not Found ( linking to http://www.kids-n-cribs.com/favicon.ico )

At first I was alarmed, but have been browsing the site for a while and not seeing any page cannot be found errors. When I went back and checked supertracker after I was browsing, it showed the last page I browsed as page cannot be found.

I'm guessing it's because supertracker doesn't understand the seo urls? I was just wondering if you had come across this.

Thanks, B

Im not sure why, but this seems like an error in the template, you can see it here, for my demo cart the add to cart form looks like this

<form name="cart_quantity" action="http://demo.rubikintegration.com/ssu/sale-new-price/set-100-skip/test-120-special-25-sale-new-price-100-skip-specials?action=add_product" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

For yours:

<form name="cart_quantity" action="http://mowerpartsupply.com/catalog/edger-blades-two-spoke-c-66_67_70/two-spoke-edger-blade-p-184" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
```You can see the ?action=add_product is missing. Turn off SSU, can you add to cart now?

The quickest way to solve it is to add a favicon.ico to your site, it's good for business anyway (brand identity)

As soon as I turn off ssu I can then add to cart.

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

Now I can see the action part:

http://mowerpartsupply.com/catalog/cutting-blades-mower-blades-c-66_68/gator-lawn-mower-blade-p-183/action/add_product

But not exactly in the correct form. Are you sure you:

  1. upgraded to 3.6.1
  2. updated your config settings (exclude query list)
  3. Clear SSU cache via SSU Manager?

Because if you did you can not have url in this form.

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

Got inspired and I wanted to put favicon.ico to my sites. The ones without SSU show the favicon.ico but the ones that have it installed don't.

I even cleared SSU cache and browser cache. Why would this be?

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

Hello there,

I previously put a post about getting 'unable to log in due to security error' , on the log in page on the live side of our website - using a test account.

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d

I saw the above line in the .htaccess. Is there a way of excluding login page and indeed checkout page from rewriting of urls so it would let users log in?

Thanks in advance.

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

Hello - I'm having the exact same problem as "r1formetoo".. I belive I have installed the most recent version, and I am running Zen Cart 1.3.8a

Everything seems to be working, but it won't let me add anything to the cart.

Here is my site: igoplayer.com
