Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

It means you are supposed to put this in htaccess file

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

# 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

For the blank page problem, you have to follow this guideline: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=82

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

I've checked the htaccess file and it already contained that info? I've tried following that guideline for the blank page but it still happens, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong..

It doesn't show the message that the database patches have been applied.

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

i tried updating again, from 3.64 to 3.66
but this time, when i click extra-ssu manager, i got this:

1062 Duplicate entry 'SSU_MULTI_LANGUAGE_DEFAULT_IDENTIFIER' for key 2
in:
[INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('Set default language identifier', 'SSU_MULTI_LANGUAGE_DEFAULT_IDENTIFIER', 'true', 'This option is useful for sites that use multi-languages. You can tell SSU to not add language identifier into the links for the default language.', @t4, 1, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array('true', 'false'),');]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

any ideas?

i use zencart 1.38, php 5.2

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

in ssu module installation db, there are 2 files different between 3.64 and 3.66

SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4 
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Simple SEO URL';

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('Set default language identifier', 'SSU_MULTI_LANGUAGE_DEFAULT_IDENTIFIER', 'true', 'This option is useful for sites that use multi-languages. You can tell SSU to not add language identifier into the links for the default language.', @t4, 1, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'true\', \'false\'),');
SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4 
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Simple SEO URL';

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('Set SSU Multi Language Status', 'SSU_MULTI_LANGUAGE_STATUS', 'false', 'Do not turn this on unless your site uses multi-languages', @t4, 1, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'true\', \'false\'),'), ('Set Query Key\'s Exclude List', 'SSU_QUERY_EXCLUDE_LIST', 'zenid,gclid,number_of_uploads,number_of_downloads,action,sort,page,disp_order,filter_id,alpha_filter_id,currency', 'Set the query keys that you want SSU to avoid converting, separated by comma with no blank space', @t4, 1, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, NULL);

is the problem with those 2 files above? what do i fix the issue? :unsure:

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

I have one question.

If I install this mod, but use the old URL's in product feeds
using easy populate. Will it still find the products?

Old urls will be redirected to new ones. If you are using EazyPopulate, this EP module is known for inserting wrong master category ids. You may need to follow this article to solve the problem

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

I cant seem to figure this one out...
Had it working on 2 of my 3 sites.

This one, https://www.allforyourwedding.com
Wont seem to work. Keep getting the eternal error.

This is what I get when I run the test

Warning Checking includes/configure.php
Warning Suggested .htaccess content
Success #### 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]

EOF SSU

Warning Checking cache write permission

Tried putting that in my .htaccess file but that didnt work.

I hope you didnt put the whole thing in your htaccess, you are supposed to put

BOF SSU

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

Deny access from .htaccess

RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d

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

Hi there,

Two issues:

  1. I notice that if i don't clear the cache for a few days, i start getting duplicate URLs.

For example, my URL should be:
http://macdonald-sporrans.com/prince-charlie-outfits

But sometimes the page displays with a URL with identifiers:
http://macdonald-sporrans.com/prince-charlie-outfits-c-2_4

The page is exactly the same, and displays on both URLs, presumably creating duplicate content.

Once i clear the cache, this problem goes away and it reverts back to the URL without identifiers.

Q: Any idea why this problem is occurring?

  1. I notice that my cache folder gets considerably large after a few days - over 300Mb last time i checked!
    I understand that a cache folder speeds up the load time, but i'm not sure why it is taking up so much space, or why there are so many files (30,000+ files) when i have only 1500 products.

Q: Does the cache folder have a finite size and quantity of files, or will it keep expanding indefinitely?

Q: Why is it so large, and why does it create so many files?

Any help on these issues would be much appreciated.

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

There is no reason you should have to clear cache to prevent duplicated urls, something must have gone wrong. This can be a wrong file permission setting. If you are using 3.6.6 (upgrade if you dont have it), there is an option in the manager to help fix this issue.

Also, 3.6.6 keeps the number of cache files down. But please remember that, each product has more than 1 link, and if you are using alias then everylink is cached whether it is a product link or not. So a large number of files are expected. Note that in the latest version there is also a cron file to use to clear cache periodically, though it is not required to do so.

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

I'm just clearing the cache and will let you know in a few days. However, after the upgrade the 3.6.6 it appears that the links are displaying incorrectly:

Check and fix cache(Run this once if you upgrade from any version older than 3.6.5): Click here

this links to: https://macdonald-sporrans.com/admin/ssu.php?action=reset_cache&folder=all

Reset all cache: Click here

this links to : https://macdonald-sporrans.com/admin/ssu.php?action=check_and_fix_cache
