Cheers Yellow - that nailed it :)

I removed the html extension from the SSU config...

It's a shame it didn't work with the .html extension though - it makes the URL's look neater somehow...
I will look into it in future versions. But just for some info, in the seminar I attended recently with the big G guys, I had this question and they told me the html extension doesnt really have any value. It will just mean your client will have to type some extra characters

Hi,
How can I keep Simple SEO from redirecting css and image files? everything else is working fine```
Hi everyone,
Im trying to optimize our webpage and while using firebug, it seems that a lot of pages are being unnecessarily 301 redirected (we have Simple SEO installed).

Here is the htaccess file; (I have put modrewrite off clauses in some folder but cant get all files)

[CODE]
php_value max_execution_time 3600

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} ^domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]

EOF SSU

How can i add a clause to stop redirecting images, css files, etc to avoid problems?

Thanks in advance!\[/CODE]

I dont see any reason ssu would redirect your css or image files at all, perhaps you may want to describe your problem in more details

while checking out a firebug report (debug addon for firefox), i can see that it is redirecting everything, not only php files which i think is slowing down the server

The htaccess content doesnt redirect images or urls if they really exists on the site. So you may want to check if those files are really there.

You also have not told me exactly how those links are redirected (from -- to ?) so Im not sure what exactly is causing the redirection

:clap:

This is just a note to Yellow to say a very big thank-you for the help with the SEO add-on yesterday.

It was greatly appreciated...

You've been very helpful in the past so I'm hoping that I can call on your help once more.

I'm trying to run version 1.7.3 of google base feeder with ssu 3.6.7

My .htaccess is:

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

# Deny access from .htaccess 
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F] 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[url]www.splatcooking\.net[/url] [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/store/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://store.splatcooking.net/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA] 

# STRIP THE REWRITEBASE RULE FROM NON-SSL CONNECTIONS. 
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} store.splatcooking.net 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/store/ 
RewriteRule ^(.*) /index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L] 
#### EOF SSU

When I try to use the Google Base Feeder product list generation by calling ```
https://store.splatcooking.net/googlefroogle.php?feed=fy_un_tp

I get redirected to ```
https://www.splatcooking.net/googlefroogle.php?feed=fy_un_tp

Any ideas?

For your store setting, if you want to use https, shouldnt you use the link
https://www.splatcooking.net/store/googlefroogle.php?feed=fy_un_tp ?

For some reason, https://www.splatcooking.net/store/googlefroogle.php?feed=fy_un_tp doesn't generate the feed file I need, and there's no error shown in the log. I'm trying to eliminate SSU from the problem, hence the question about redirects.

You should use zencart debug tool, this is more than likely not caused by SSU

I used the debug tool as suggested. I'll post a description of the problem in case others come across it.

When googlefroogle.php is called it looks for if magic seo urls is set to 'true'. If they are (and would be if SSU is installed), then you'll see this kind of error ```
PHP Fatal error: require_once() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required 'includes/classes/msu_ao.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/bin/pear')

The suggested fix from the support forum for Google Base Feeder is to purchase a plugin. 
I tried to go for the cheap option by commenting out the test for magic seo urls in googlefroogle.php, but that leads to no links being generated for the products. I'll play around a bit more and re-post if I get a stable solution.

It is saying your file is requiring msu which is magic seo url for some reason?

I'm wondering why I' can't reset my cache. It's loading and loading and loading, and nothing happen.

What should I do? It's there some other method?

If I upgrade simple SEO to a newest version i will lost the addon for extra symbols like "-"

Thank you.

Is there any way to make it so that linked products have the same url no matter what category they are in.

Caching the products in the Cache folder is causing server problem. I already have a large website and now all the products and categories are being cached on the server which counts each of them as a file. So each product now has 3 files on the server. One for the original images, one for the bmz_cache for image handler and one for the SSU. How can I solve this problem. I can't even run the clean cache from the admin anymore since the website have 18000 products and the mysql loose communication before executing the file.

You should use the latest version of SSU to reduce the number of cache files created. Also, accompany in all new version is a cron file which will help to automatically clean up cached files. You can set it to run every few days.

Also, to fix the current problem first, you can try to run the clear cache, it will time out but keep running several times, each time a few thousand files should be cleared out. And also, clearing cache should not affect mysql server because it doesnt make any call to mysql server.

Thank you.No, if you upgrade you should not lose anything unless you change the setting. If you reset cache and it keeps loading, dont worry, try again several times. It will clean out for you. In the next version I will use ajax to clean out cache to make it easier to track the cleaning progress.

No, because that might break some other features of zencart relying on having the category on the url. But I will look into that in the next version.

yellow1912:

yes, it changes everything to lowercase.

using a german umlaut in the search-request-keyword oft zencart generates an error because the lowercase-function is used.
is that right an how can i fix it?

greetings

sorry..i mean the "strtolower"-function
