Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

mprough:

I installed this for a client today, and I must say its works pretty well... Cheers

I do have 2 questions...

The first is that when index.php is loaded it does deliver a proper canonical redirect... But to the incorrect canonical

so I am given

http://www.domain.com

when it should be

http://www.domain.com/

Can I correct this easily?

Secondly, as this client would like to have the html added... can I do this without a big hassle?

Thanks for the contrib :clap:

Hi Yellow,

Any idea on these?

Thanks
Melanie

Sorry I missed your post for some reason

for question 1:
huhm, weird, which version is it?
You can see it is added here:
a. with the cart installed on sub folder
http://demo.rubikintegration.com/ssu (will be redirected to http://demo.rubikintegration.com/ssu/)

b. with the cart installed on root:
http://eazy-templates.com (will be redirected to http://eazy-templates.com/)
The second site is heavily modded with tons of modules btw, and hopefully that will clear up the argument that this module doesnt work well with other modules.

For question 2:
It depends, if you simply want to add.html to the define page without parameters only, it's already there, just turn on.
If you want to add it into category, product links and all, huhm, a bit troublesome.
From your point of view, how would adding .html to the end of the url help? I will add this feature to the next version if it really helps one way or another.

Thanks Yellow....
Here is what I mean

Checked link: http://demo.rubikintegration.com/ssu/index.ph
p

Type of redirect: 301 Moved Permanently

Redirected to: http://demo.rubikintegration.com/ssu

The trailing slash is actually added by ZC after this.... Making it a double redirect.

Checked link: http://demo.rubikintegration.com/ssu

Type of redirect: 301 Moved Permanently

Redirected to: http://demo.rubikintegration.com/ssu/ 

The issue is that link juice and authority will not pass a double redirect and Google will not follow them either.

2cnd part

the html just gives the essence of a true static page and is favored for usability... In this case the shop owner would like html url for all.

Note that the structure you use, however, makes blocking whole sections in robots.txt w/o dynamic parameters.. a big bonus here as MSN will not read wildcards in robots.txt

So I can block /product_reviews_write/ for example, w/o a wildcard :clap:

I wouldn't change it, its fine w/o html... Just asking for the customer. :bigups:

You are absolutely right for 1st part, and it only happens if the cart is in a sub folder it seems. I will work on that right now.
Should have a fix for that within a few hours.

I will also put the extension on a to do list :)

Not just in a sub folder http://70. 84 .186 .148/

Thanks for your help...

Cheers,
Melanie

Melanie, can you check again here:
http://demo.rubikintegration.com/ssu/index.php

Does it work the way it should now? :)

Yep!

Checked link: http://demo.rubikintegration.com/ssu/index.ph

Type of redirect: 301 Moved Permanently

Redirected to: http://demo.rubikintegration.com/ssu/

K, the fix is very easy and will be included in a new updated package which will be available in a few mins.

But you can just apply the fix without having to download the whole package by editing includes/classes/ssu/cores/link.php

Look for:

// append sid

Add right above it

        // add slash if both page and param are empty
        if(empty($page) && empty($parameters)){
            $link = trim($link, '/');
            $link .= '/';
        }

Bingo... Thanks

Checked link: http: //70 .84  .186.  148/ index.php

Is the fix for everyone yellow?

countrycharm:

Is the fix for everyone yellow?
Yup, it's applied to all. Normally on new site you dont have to worry about it. For example, for this site: http://eazy-templates.com we never had an index.php link to begin with, so search engine wouldnt even reach it.
But yeah, fix is applied for everyone, and again thanks Melanie for noticing this.

PS: btw, to any one who is about to install or upgrade your module, this fix is already applied when you grab the package on the download site, so no need to worry about it.

I am using the 3.6.4 that I downloaded yesterday. I also had the Easy Sign up and Easy Checkout (one page checkout) installed. The only way I was able to get the login page to redirect the customer to their account or allow them to login is by adding the login to the excluded list.

Customers are not able to update their cart quantity from shopping cart unless I add the shopping_cart to the excluded list.

Now the add to cart will not work from the product info page. The Buy Now will work from the product list page.

Any ideas???

None of the site in your signature is using ssu, so you will need to provide me the link to that correct site so I can check

The HID Site has the SSU installed but as I mentioned in a previous post. Customer that use the currency conversion are being redirected to a button link "http://www.ohiospeedshop.com/includes/templates/template_default/buttons/english/mcnt_details.gif" I have been told (when I had the SSU enabled) that the header is passing hidden fields to the web which is not good as you know.
I will enable that SSU on the HID site if you want to take a look at it as well.

Now back to your post the development link the SSU is installed on is precutcartint .com you can test the Add to Cart on product info page as well as the Buy Now found on the product listing page.

On the HID site check out this warning when switching languages...

If you are getting this message, it is because

a) The Volusion Live Chat javascript has been modified from its original code.

(You must re-copy the script from the SETTINGS screen of your live chat software, and re-paste it to your website.

or

b) The Volusion Live Chat javascript is pasted more than once in this page.

(Remove extra copy of this script on this page)

Also, you might fix some of the pretty serious errors you have going on.. no one is perfect and some errors are just stupid stuff, but you have some pretty serious ones going on.

The currency conversion worked fine for me... No issues what so ever.

There are no hidden fields in your header.... The the forms showing on the page.

Are you maybe referring to hidden text? As you have enough hidden text to be banned from Google good! Just every other example of this menu I have ever seen... it is not coded correctly and ALL child nodes are hidden w/ css display set to none... which is spamming. This menu must be coded correctly as not to have hidden text... and I promise this has nothing to do w/ SSU.... CSS rather is the issue.

And 2 other issues... your newsletter box set to default checked will get you a blacklist recommendation from the FTC.... and processing credit cards w/o an SSL?????

Not making a mess here, but you have some pretty big issues..... not at all related to currency conversion here.

@Glamorousshoe: you are missing htaccess on this site:
precutcartint

No wonder it doesnt work

On the other site, you are not supposed to put:
currency=EUR
plus it is an older version, upgraded for you

@everyone:
The module, once installed correctly, should run without problem. If it doesnt, most of the time it's a user mistake, in those cases just post the url, the step to replicate the problem. From time to time, I will have to get temporary access to your server to know what's going on.
Sometimes it's the htaccess misconfigured, sometimes the user claims that the module is upgraded while it is not.

If it is indeed a bug, it will be fixed asap, usually within 24 hours because i know how problems with this module can greatly affect your stores, so I treat them with the highest priority.

I am not a designer or a programmer (I am an engineer). I can only style the site and make it look good. I am not sure how to correct the errors. I have tried to look into them but they W3C validator doesn't make sense to me.

Yellow1912 I have a question for you. You might have already answered it somewhere. When I upgraded to ssu 3.6.4, my Google XML Sitemap doesn't work without switching off SSU first. It will work then. I don't know why. you have any ideas. Thank you

No idea, but let me try on my GSitemap

K, I tried the one by Andrew Berezin, no error whatsoever, no need to turn off ssu. if you can provide me with the symptom in more details i may be able to give more help

When I click on STEP 1: Click [HERE] to create / update your site map. It open the window and this information is given. After that nothing happens. It would usually show the updated map. If I switch it off it works. I don't know I have the same site map as you.
