Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Hello Yellow
On one of my site I am trying to apply the redirect from mydomain.com to https://www.mydomain.com using this code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

This is the current .htaccess I have from your download ```php

<PRE>#### BOF SSU Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews RewriteEngine On # Make sure to change "zencart" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase / RewriteBase /</PRE> <PRE># Deny access from .htaccess RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]</PRE> <PRE>RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L] #### EOF SSU</PRE>

How do I do that using your mod. If I do paste the code to redirect in the current htaccess I get a 500 error

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

I dont know why you get <pre> thing in there, they should not be there at all.

Anyhow, something like this:

#### BOF SSU 
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews 
RewriteEngine On 
# Make sure to change "zencart" 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} !^www.domain.com$ [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]  

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]

I dont think we have any problem with redirection of old links.> inovermyhead:

OK, maybe we just need some hand holding, but we're beating our heads against the wall. Or maybe we can't see the forest for the trees <grin>. After going through the several pertinent thread (more than once), we decided SSU was the way for us to go.

We're running 1.37 with several add-ons. But we've set up a test shop using WAMP for a localhost test for our CreekTree shop, installed Module Manager, installed Simple SEO, configured it, and it appears to work fine in both Firefox and IE7. We've run the Google sitemap, Google base, & Live Update add-ons against the localhost database and the XML all appear to have worked fine. So it appears that basically we're in good shape.

But I keep coming back to earlier posts about redirects and the htaccess file, and I can't seem to get my arms around this, after several times thru more than this thread. Are redirects for old URLs an issue any more? If so, what do I need to do? If not, the next step would be backup the production online, and install there?

:blink::dontgetit:unsure:

Many thanks for your input!

Jerry5763837:

hi, Yellow,

Many thanks for your great contribution to so many free moulds.

I came across a problem at http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123064&highlight=customer+sidebox+page

could you please help to check how to fix it?
many appreciated again.:frusty:
I will have a look, but next time please PM me for this type of question. It is off topic and does not have anything to do with SSU.

#### EOF SSU


I think I get it because when I use Front Page and when I open the htacess file in the code format I get an <html> code added to the top as you noticed in one of my previous posts. I didn't know that the <PRE> is not suppose to be there. I will make sure to remove them .

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

Many thanks to Yellow. After a couple of tries, I have this module working.

Since I faced some issues, I will put them here for others to see.

  1. Make sure you install Module Manager first.
  2. Make sure you are using the latest SSU.
  3. Make sure you are running php5. If you run php4, you will notice errors after uploading. If you run php4, you can use .htaccess to change your folder to run php5.
  4. Make sure you change the /cache/ folder to permission 777

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

Im sorry, but you are probably using another module. This module does not have such table.> jarcher:

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

Hello Yellow i'm been using SSU since beta 3.5.1 and now with last 3.6.6 i'm having trouble with Googlexml sitemap mod.

While with versions 3.5.x everything was working fine, with 3.6.6 the sitemap report urls to english pages that i haven't since my site is in italian.

I have checked the various options and set set default language identifiers to off since with this options i was having only the english pages active on my site, everythings was redirected to english version.

The sitemap looks like this

 <url>
  <loc>http://www.sportclubshop.it/ski--c-3_4/language/en</loc>
  <lastmod>2009-01-12</lastmod>
  <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
  <priority>0.5</priority>
 </url>
 <url>
  <loc>http://www.sportclubshop.it/sci-sci-discesa-c-3_4</loc>
  <lastmod>2009-01-12</lastmod>
  <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
  <priority>0.5</priority>
 </url>

As you can see the first url is in english

I have reset the cache and do the install following the infos in your wiki.

Zencart 1.3.8a
SSU 3.6.6

Regards and always thanks for great job

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

Huhm

http://www.sportclubshop.it/ski--c-3_4/language/en

This type of url should never be there, actually. Weird. Did you set multilanguage to off as well?
Seem like your store has more than 1 languages in use though?

Can you paste all the settings here?

Huhm, well here is how it should be done:
If you have multi-lang, then you should set multi language to on instead of "off". It will give better looking links.

Second, seem like you have not filled in many english names etc, which is why the links look kinda weird btw. On another hand, SSU should have falled back to the default language tho, I will have to look into this, which one is currently your default language? Italian?

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

:) Oh sure with prev rel i was not having this problem, i figured out that with multilanguage support off SSU was putting only default language in cache so i didn't drop the english language.

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

Some problems I need help on:

Using: SSU 3.6.6 & ZC 1.38a

Problem 1:
Currently using Wordpress on Zencart module. Main blog page works fine: index.php?main_page=wordpress shows up fine. BUT any other pages from wordpress is not working and it keeps reverting back to index.php?main_page=wordpress.

Questions:
How am I suppose to use the Manage Aliases function to solve this issue?
For example:
Original URL: /store/?cat=5
What goes to the URL and what goes to Alias? Do I click status and permanent?

Original URL: /store?m=200903
What goes to the URL and what goes to Alias? Do I click status and permanent?

Original URL: /store/?page_id=3
What goes to the URL and what goes to Alias? Do I click status and permanent?

Problem 2:
Inside: Admin -> Tools -> Module Manager , I get the following error:
Basic Functions
List all modules: Click here
Install new modules: Click here
Render error, file not found(/homepages/10/d179343503/htdocs/SingaporeVault/store/admin/includes/templates/templates/module_manager/tpl_index.php)

Questions:
-Should I be worried about this error?
-When I click on "List all modules: Click here" or "Install new modules: Click here", nothing happens.

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

/store/?cat=5

--> This is not a zen url, is it wordpress? Even if it is wordpress url there is something wrong with this url.
Zen will interpret this url like this

/store/index.php?main_page=index&cat=5

Prob2:
did you use: http://zencart-module-manager.googlecode.com/files/module_manager_rev16zip.zip
