janellez:

I had this working in a test cart on 1.3.8a but after simply moving the test folders into the live site and changing the configure files, the site's working fine but I no longer see Simple Seo under the Configuration menu to be able to turn the mod on. I DO see it under Extras.

I've reinstalled, checked my permissions on the cache, made sure my .htaccess file reads correctly, and even run /ssu_check.php. I have Module Mangager installed as well.

Any ideas?
Alright, if you do not see it under configuration anymore, something must have gone wrong. Probably you have some changes made to the database. The simplest solution, is to reinstall the db for SSU, it's pretty easy:

Go to admin, tools, sql patch tool and run

delete from module_version_tracker where module_code ='yellow1912_ssu';

Then go to admin-extra-ssu manager, the module should be reinstalled automatically.

Thank you - Now I'm getting this -

1062 Duplicate entry 'SSU_AUTO_ALIAS' 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 Auto Alias Status', 'SSU_AUTO_ALIAS', 'false', 'Let SSU automatically remove identifiers from links, you have to have ssu alias on.', @t4, 1, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array('true', 'false'),');]

Weird, anyhow, run this

SET @t4=0;
SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4 
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Simple SEO URL';
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;

delete from module_version_tracker where module_code ='yellow1912_ssu';

Regards

Thank you so much for your help! It's working and it's just such an awesome mod!

I'm getting the same error as ccrsport

my .htaccess is setup up as:

all except the first line, I copied from the installation instructs.

my shop config file is:

my store is located in the public_html folder of my website, which I believe is the root. Any ideas where the problem may be?

yellow1912:

RewriteBase /zencart/

Should be RewriteBase /

Regards

Thanks, that was the error I was getting, and that solution worked immediately :clap:

ok i give up i have spent the last few hours trying to install and get past the test. install went ok as far as file and folders go and patches installed properly. i have searched this thread several times and have found my problem elsewhere but none of the solutions has worked for me. and everything appears correct according to what i have read.

using zc 1.3.8 installed in root folder and ssu_beta_3.6.6

here are my test page results

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

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA]

EOF SSU

Warning Checking cache write permission

i am doing a 301 domain redirect i also need to add specific page redirects. i used the code from http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zencart/modules/ssu/installation. here is my .htaccess

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^natureskeepers.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.natureskeepers.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http://www.aviancuisine.com" [R=301,L]

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

Change "/zencart/ to the correct setting

if your site is located at root folder, then you should have RewriteBase /

Go to your include/configure.php, this value should be the same with the value of DIR_WS_CATALOG

RewriteBase /

Deny access from .htaccess

RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .* - [L]

RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]

EOF SSU

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thx

And your problem is?

are the warning icons supposed to go away on the test page if installed correctly

wwiii:

You mean the ssu_check.php? Unfortunately no, I guess I just used the image to mark the step being checked, and that got you confused somehow. I will correct that in the next version. In the mean time, well, if the urls are transformed properly and the redirection works fine, then it works.

oh that sucks. i haven't even tried to configure or see if url's work cuz i thought i was failing test.:laugh: do i feel stupid

thank you very much for ur quick response i really appreciate it.

A site I look after has had SSU installed recently after having trouble with the chemo SEO module.

Works wonderfully well, but the owner wants to know if there is a way to shorten the URLs by removing the categories from the resulting URL.

For example, is there a way to go from:

/landscape-photography-press-photography-c-32_8/anonymous-cutty-sark-p-420

to:

/anonymous-cutty-sark-p-420/

Thanks In Advance,

Paul

The category is required so that certain features on zen can work.
Right now, what you can have tho, is a shorten 1 like this
/landscape-photography-press-photography/anonymous-cutty-sark

Thanks for the information, I thought that might be the case from looking at the code myself.

How would I go about rewriting the URLs that way, can it be done all-at-once, or does it have to be done category-by-category?

It is done all at once by turn on auto alias, it can also be changed as you wish using the alias manager.

just want to say thanks for a fantastic mod yellow. works great and i think you provide the best support i have seen for any mod!

:clap:

Yellow is the man :yes:

first of all thank you for this great contribution!

It really rocks and having lots of benefits from this.

But i have two issues that are

1. my home page link doesn work anymore firefox is giving the error that is is going into an unendless loop (translated from dutch to english) and that its not able to load. IE just freezes when loading.

on the other hand ssu causes to load some pages in ssl those who where initially not ssl pages (bit weird imo) but they load.

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.domain.nl');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://username.domainsharedsll.nl');

  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

dead reader what could be the problem.

Thnx in advance for youre input / feedback

For your special config (shared ssl) htaccess needed to be set up differently. Did you check yoursite.com/ssu_check.php and see what it suggests for the .htaccess content?

Yellow, I can't get this categories products do the alias thing.
http://www.mydanilo.com/ring-music-boxes

I have reset and deleted all I can thing of. ssu folders and then uploaded an empty one. Reset product id's. Reset all cache. Disabled auto alias, reset cached, enabled again. Still it will not get rid of -p-728 part of the url for all product in said cat.

Any idea what is going on?

See if you do use Easy Populate, that module causes problem with master category ids. You may have to reset the master categories in your store manager first.
