Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

this is the part that should be in your htaccess:

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

# 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

This file .htaccess should be located under your shop folder.

Then, if mod_rewrite is working correctly, you should not get 404 error. You may get other error, but you can not get this specific error.

Hello Yellow,

Thank you for great contribution. I believe I have the latest version installed for my website (http://www.crossrf.com)

I lately found an issue that "add to cart" does not work from "advanced_search_result" page but it rather bounces to the product category list.:oops:

Any resolutions on this issue?

:D, there are 2 latest versions: the one you can get directly on Zen is pretty old and not latest anymore. I suspect you are having it (3.5.8).

The real latest is 3.6.6 which does not have such problem. Other than that, we also have user reported similar problem, which turned out to be a badly code template which caused the issue. So you will have to show me the sample link if you are using the latest version and still have the problem.

Hello Yellow1912,

Just wanted to commend you on your super fantastic module. I have it working on one of my websites and it took 5 minutes to install and get configured.

I also double checked your suggestions from the admin settings on The Google and you were spot on how to setup Search Engine Friendlies. Here is the article I based the support on.

Nothing beats a good article to back you up.

Thank you,

Ok, the .htaccess file is correct, and it isn't that i'm getting a 404, its just that when i turn ssu on, the zen cart pages all get redirected to an empty drupal page, the 'page not found' is from the title, not the page so that was probably bad info on my part.

i just get basically an empty drupal page so i'm guessing that i'm doing something wrong with the rewrites themselves, something that maybe i have to change from the default somewhere, le'sigh

should i maybe change > RewriteRule ^(.) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA] to > RewriteRule ^(.) shop/index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA]?

Ok, i've read through the first 235 pages of forum posts, and have been sequentially trying almost everything that i've seen within reason.

i have come to the conclusion that the fault lies within my site template, as enabling ssu causes store pages to display an generic site page, without the main node/module/section present. I'm attempting to find the guy who designed the template, but off the top of anyone's head - where would I find any instruction on how to modify a drupal template to function with ssu

Does anyone know where to get the instructions for this file?

Also do I need to have Ajax installed before I install this mod?

I just want to make sure I am doing everything right.

Im a bit confused, because I dont know why would drupal template be involved in this?

Perhaps, if you can PM me the link to the site, the step to reproduce the problem, I will be able to assist you better?

Hi there. I have a problem with redirections on the page. All work fine but today without I do nothing the links to the pages don´t work. All links redirect to the login page. I don´t know what is the problem, it has appeared today itself.

The url is https://www.laguitarra.es

This is a spanish site with zencart 1.3.8 and some addons as simple url and others but the web worked very fine but today I have this problem.

Please any help will be very apreciated. Thanks

You are using ultimate seo url, not ssu.> evos1:

Ok, my programmer just installed SIMPLE SEO URL on my 1.3.8 Zen-Cart and I'm now trying to figure ut how to configure it so that it works.

When I "Set SSU Status" to true I get an error on the actual front end of my live site:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Do you have any tips on how to configure SSU once it is installed?

Thank you very much

Hello all,

Since this thread has over 200 pages, I did not read all of them.

I just have one question: I want to install SSU and make it handle all URLs as it wants, however I want my main category URLs to look how I want, and not default. On other words I want to use custom URLs just for my main categories.

Is this possible at all?

Thanks a lot!

You probably misconfigured htaccess part.

My web site structure is:

CategoryName
-SubCategoryName --ProductName

Say, the category name would be "Bugatti Veyron", with subcategory "France" and product "Pur Sang Replica" -- I do not want the URL to be rewritten as simply: http://www.site.com/bugatti-veyron/france/pur-sang-replica

I want the category name to be http://www.site.com/buy-veyron/france/pursang-replica instead.

Note: what I said is just an example.

All in all, I just want to adjust the Category URL. The subcategories and products can be whatever, but I really want to be able to change the Category URL. That page is also my landing page for SEO, so...

Any help? :cry:

I am getting the exact same error.

The cache dir and all subdirs/files are 777.

Warning Checking includes/configure.php
Warning Suggested .htaccess content

I don't know what's wrong with my configure.php...

The htaccess is SSU's default one. I did not use a htaccess before.

creepycreatures:

I've tried to install this mod, and I must be doing something wrong as I get nothing and now my shop just appears blank.. again :blush:

I'm running 1.3.8 and have uploaded all the latest files as suggested and following the instructions here:
http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zencart/modules/ssu/installation

There'll be something I've done wrong, but I have no shop at the moment!

When I click on Extras -> SSU Manager I just get a blank page, same with the SSU check page. I tried re-uploading everything in case something messed up that way, but still the same.

Any ideas what I've done and how to fix? :frusty:

Thanks

yellow1912:

you may want to check to make sure you are running php5 instead of 4.

Hmm, I presumed it was PHP5 but after checking with my host it appears to be PHP 4.4.7

How can I go about fixing things from here? :blush:

First, remove the includes/auto_loaders and admin/includes/auto_loaders that ssu added in should stop ssu classes from being loaded, which will help your site to function again.

Now, you have 2 choices:

1. upgrade server to php5. This is usually a fairly quick process, simply email your host for more info and help. Make sure all the scripts you are running are php5 compatible first, zen 1.3.8 is

2. use an older version of ssu, 2.9.6 which supports php4, you will miss some important features tho.

You need to change the htaccess content, RewriteBase / is precisely the line you have to change.

The instruction is online as well as inside the htaccess
