It seems like you used Easy Populate to import the products, and it somehow failed to set the correct category - product relationship, all I did was

1. go to /admin/store_manager.php and Reset ALL Products Master Categories ID
2. Clear SSU cache

For the problem with link alias manager not displaying any link, problem was that your php version does not support json_encode AND there was a bug in the json_encode alternative that comes with SSU

Also, I notice there is a caching problem, not all items are properly cached, I have updated cache class to ssu 3.6.5 which have this bug fixed for you. Now you have to delete all cache folders and we will see if things work out correct for you.

Wow - Hats off to you! :clap:

The problem is fixed and the time you spent researching and debugging was very much appreciated.

I highly recommend Yellow1912's to anyone that needs ecommerce/design work done. If his Open Source skills are this good, I can only imagine what his paid skills are like. Please consider his services when looking in the future.

He saved me - he can save you too!

Thanks a ton, Yellow1912! I know I'll be thinking of you for future projects.

zencart default charset is set to iso_8859-1, after i changing it to utf-8, my problem has been fixed. now those specials characters (é, è, à ) are replaced by (e, e a) in url :clap:

i found the ru.php in ssu language folder, where could i get the german special characters translit?

You will need to clone ru and make one for german yourself.
In the future SSU will have features added to make transliting much easier.

I apologise in advance if this has been answered elsewhere but I promise I went through this thread and the sites referred to in the installation documentation.

My first question is can this be used on a windows server ?

I found a few references to windows server tweaks in this thread but no difinitive answer.

Secondly if it can be used on a windows server what has to be installed / turned on on the server ?

The documentation gives instructions for apache but does not specifiically mention the windows server.

Again my apologies if this is answered elsewhere and I missed it.

No need to apologize, the thread is long.

Anyhow, I dont have the answer either. Some users reported the htaccess rules do not work well on their windows server, and I offered to help if I can get access to their windows test server, but no one ever got back to me so far :)

Hi Yellow, I'm hoping you can help me... I just ported over my site from Osc to Zen, all my redirects are fine except I'm having a problem getting my products to redirect. Here's an example...

Here is the old URL:
http://www.perfectlocks.com/product_...roducts_id=108

Here is the new one:
http://www.perfectlocks.com/hand-tie...hand-tied-weft

My code in .htaccess is:
redirect 301 /product_info.php?products_id=108 http://www.perfectlocks.com/hand-tie...hand-tied-weft

But when the page it actually ends up landing on is:
http://www.perfectlocks.com/-c-0/products-name-p-108

Why is it changing the URL and what is -c-0? Please help, how do I fix this? All of my non product pages redirect just fine. Does this require some kind of mod rewrite in my .htaccess?

Post the links again, in [ code ]

Here is the old URL:

www.perfectlocks.com/product_info.php?products_id=108

Here is the new one:

http://www.perfectlocks.com/hand-tied-wefts/curly-hand-tied-weft

My code in .htaccess is:

redirect 301 /product_info.php?products_id=108 http://www.perfectlocks.com/hand-tied-wefts/curly-hand-tied-weft

But when the page it actually ends up landing on is:

http://www.perfectlocks.com/-c-0/products-name-p-108

Do you really have the product id 108 in the new store, that is also want of the problem

No I don't, my product Id's have changed... but I have it redirecting to the alias, is that not sufficient?

Where do you place these redirection? They have to be BEFORE

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

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

They were after, but after putting them before I still get the same problem.  It's like this:

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]

Begin site redirects

redirect 301 /indian-hair-products.php http://www.perfectlocks.com/about-perfect-locks-hair

Is that correct?

Some users (not only mac users) are getting the following error:

Safari can’t open the page.
Too many redirects occurred trying to open
“http://store.splatcooking.net/index/search_in_description/1/ke…
sort=20a&action=multiple_products_add_product”. This might
occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page
which then is redirected to open the original page.

Here is my .htaccess:

#### BOF SSU 
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews 
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteBase /store/ 

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

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.splatcooking\.net [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/store/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://store.splatcooking.net/$1 [R=301,L]

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

# STRIP THE REWRITEBASE RULE FROM NON-SSL CONNECTIONS. 
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} store.splatcooking.net 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/store/ 
RewriteRule ^(.*) /index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L] 
#### EOF SSU

any ideas?

Your SSU version? if not 3.6.4, upgrade. Also check

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

Make sure the exclude list for pages and query are correct.

Hello!

I've installed this and it's working great. I have one question.

I'm using the Wordpress on Zen Cart add-on. The URL for wordpress is supposed to be: /index.php?main_page=wordpress, but with the new version of Wordpress, that doesn't work. I've gotten around it by using /?main_page=wordpress (no index.php).

As soon as I got SEO URLs working, the blog page stopped working.

I can't find a way with this set up to block /?main_page=wordpress from the URLs. Any tips?

Thanks,
Arianne

If it still doesnt work, please post or pm the link to the site.

Thanks! I took a look at this when I was setting everything up, but "wordpress" in the exclude list seems to only exclude index.php?main_page=wordpress, not just ?main_page=wordpress.

When I turn the SEO URLs on and go to /?main_page=wordpress, I'm redirected back to the main page of the site.

You can see the problem at c r y s t a l y n k a e.com/?main_page=wordpress - the other URLs are working fine!

Thanks in advance,
Arianne

If you are using link alias, you should clear SSU cache first.

I've cleared the cache and still no luck. Am I setting the alias right? I have /?main_page=wordpress/ as the link and /blog/ as the alias, but both URLs direct to the main page.

Huhm, why would you use ?main_page= anyway? normally it should come with the index.php
you are setting alias wrong, btw, if you want to use that, it should be:

/wordpress/ and /blog/
