Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Hey..

Just noticed the following on

printable-50-pack-p-621?zenid=7baf7dd8a6893e0a1cf560813c9aad4d

Note the zenid suffix at the end of the product number..???

All the products and categories had a suffix similar.

I cleared the cache in admin and that fixed it.. But I'm sure thats not supposed to get that way is it..?

That the way it is supposed to be, It is behaving correctly. Zenid appears only once when you first visit the site.> Mike_Dean:

Im following instructions for Simple Seo rev235. In the instructions it states the following:

"B. if you are NOT using 1.3.8a, it's safer to not upload includes/functions/html_config.php but to do this:
Open your current includes/functions/html_config.php
a. find the function function zen_href_link
b. insert the following lines right below the line: global $request_type, $session_started, $http_domain, $https_domain;
//bof simple seo url
global $ssu;
if(($link = $ssu->ssu_link($page, $parameters, $connection, $add_session_id, $search_engine_safe, $static, $use_dir_ws_catalog))!= false) return $link;
//eof simple seo url"

Im using version 1.3.7. I do not have a "html_config.php" located in includes/functions/html_config.php

Anyone help?

Owwwwwwww, my baddddd
It should be html_output.php

Successfully installed rev235 on version 1.3.7. Thanks for the help!

Ok Cool.. Thanks

I have also noticed something that is a larger problem.

I have had a few orders placed by customers using PayPal, but the orders are no where to be found on Zen Cart, and order confirmations are not getting sent..

The orders do not appear in admin either.

The only reason I new an order had been placed is fron the email PayPal sends confirming.

I did tests on Direct Deposit etc, and they are fine, its just the PayPal orders are not completing..

It was all functioning correctly prior to SSU.

I have to go to the customer and ask them what they ordered now.. (eeekk..!):unsure:

I remember you have to put your Zencart link in Paypal, what do you put there?

I have tried it on auto re-direct and not re-direct back to our site, and also I took out the redirect exception in SSU Config, but nothing seems to have fixed it..

I've been trying it a bit this morning on PayPal, no orders come in on Admin, but the weirdest thing is, at the Checkout confirmation page, where it shows the details of your order, its referencing the same order number every time, and its an old order number it's using ?

There is just no reference to the new order being placed at all

Checkout confirmation page, where it shows the details of your order, its referencing the same order number every time, and its an old order number it's using ?

I dont remember this page showing any order number, perhaps you mean the checkout success page?

Its definitely SSU related.. I just reverted back to a pre SSU version, and went through with PayPal and it worked exactly as it should.. Order confirmations, orders appear in admin etc.

What can you suggest it could be ?

Thanks,
Mike

Sorry.. my bad... yes checkout success..

Also, note that your checkout succes page is now yoursite.com/checkout_success

Just wondering if there is any problems running simple seo and Paypal Express checkout?!?! I had it working at one point tonight, when I accidently uploaded a new html_output file....but then reinstalled the html_output with the ssu added code and now when I click on Paypal at checkout...it goes to a blank page...is there something that needs to be done?!?!

Also, how can I turn off SSU temporarily so I can test if it is affecting a new module or anything else I may be working on?

THANKS!!!!!!!!

Im not sure what the problem is, since I can receive orders here on my site. You can disable it by doing 3 things:

1. remove the part you added to htaccess
2. comment out the part you added to html_output
3. remove includes/init_includes/init_ssu.php

I've been running the site all day so far without the SSU mods installed and orders have been coming in ok..

The order that was placed last night with SSU installed has just suddenly shown up as well..?? some 16 hours later.... go figure..?

I'm not sure what to change with SSU so that I can try it with PayPal again

I just wanted to follow up..I did a full uninstall of the mod and now paypal express works fine.....I am going to try to reinstall the mod again, but I just wanted to let you know that something was affecting it......i will let you know how the reinstall goes! Thanks for the continued support....

OK..so I uninstalled the mod and then paypal express checkout works fine, I reinstall the mod and again, when you click on Paypal button it goes to blacnk page....it is redirecting to this page, which I think is correct:

but the screen is blank......

....any ideas on this one?!?!? I really want to use the module so I would love to find an answer but this is way over my head!!!!

It is very possible, such a system is called link alias I think. But given a large number of items i wonder if it's worth it?

I will look into that.

Hi yellow1912,

Did you have a chance to look into this? I think this could be very useful if the item name needs to be different than the desired url wording. If you manage to offer this as a feature, it would be killer!

I have tested on my different servers so far, 3 working fine with IPN, 2 not. (Wasted lots of time and money to placed test orders as well)

Im asking DrByte for his words of wisdom regarding this matter. Will fix this within 3 days so it can work on all servers I hope.

Regards

Remember, when you do a test, you can refund the transaction ... so don't need to lose any money in the process.
