What you have to do is tick on My Account then on the left hand side under Summary tick on Purchased download. You will come to the download page that you purchase tick on the check box tick Send and you will get your download.

great mod but am having troubles, not sure if I missed it but I have read this thread for ages now, I have zen 1.3.8a with latest security patch and have the latest sse from eazy-templates.com as of 31/7/09. The problem I am having is that if anything is added to the cart that has attributes attached then it cant be deleted from cart, but if the product is atrributeless it can. turn the mod off and the cart delete works fine. Everything else is working? Any ideas as my head is hurting now :)

Make sure you correct the admin folder there. The cron can be used as a cronjob, you will have to set up cronjob to run periodically via you host admin panel, this will automatically clean up SSU cache for you. You can set it run once per week or so.
Hi, yellow

Thanks for your reply.

Now, I have corrected the admin with my own one. What could I do to make it run as a cron job. Please correct me if any wrong below: :smile:

All the best,

You are using an older version with that specific bug, download new version from here:
http://eazy-templates.com/web-templates/zen-cart/modules/simple-seo-url

(the module is FREE, just add to cart and checkout, you dont have to pay anything)

Thank you for reporting this, I realize that the download might be confusing and we will fix this process asap. In the mean time, do what country charm suggested to you.

Sincerely,

Hi, yellow

I have setup the cron job to run and below is the return inside my email:

Status: 302 Moved Temporarily

And, I have noticed that the cache has been cleaned yet for I have accessed my host via FTP and find the cache files is still there.

My site is currently under maintenance status, so if this return normal or sth. wrong?

Thanks in advance,
David

Yes, that could be a problem. Your site cant be under maintenance mode when this is run.

Thats the one I was using but I re-downloaded it to be sure, followed the instructions and upgraded but still have same problem, so I uninstalled it all, re-installed and still exactly the same. If the product has download attributes then it can't be removed from the cart.

Ah, you meant remove to cart. Yes, the quickest way to fix this is to go to the admin config of ssu and put shopping_cart in the page exclude list.

Reason: products with attributes in them have this type of id: 12:assadwqde213321dsada

SSU encrypts the : and then Zencart could not understand it.
Better Solution: decrypt the :
This solution will be added to the new version within a few days

That sorted it it, thanks for all your help and the hard work in coding it.

Thanks I spent quite a while on that.:clap:

Yikes! I'm off to a scary start. I downloaded the zip file http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=1013
and opened the Readme.txt file. It states:*All the installation, upgrade, usage docs are located at
http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zencart/modules/ssu/
*
However, going to that page produces the following message:"*This topic does not exist yet.You've followed a link to a topic that doesn't exist yet. *

Any suggestions will certainly be appreciated!

I hope it is okay that I ask my question again since I didn't get a reply the first time.

I am evaluating if I should install Simple SEO URL and assess the amount of work required.

The first step in discovering the installation procedure is to read the Readme.txt file. However, the Readme.txt file points to a dead link! Either I'm doing something wrong or this is a bad sign.

Thank you for any help, comments or replies.

Hi, yellow

I noticed that within all the pages indexed by google, some are seo url, others are still dynamic ones.

Would you pls tell me why this happened?

Thanks,

It appears that Simple SEO URL will not work unless you first install a mod called Module Manager http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_41&products_id=936 . However, Module Manager says: THIS IS ALPHA CODE ... USE AT OWN RISK .
So apparently even before I can try to start down the difficult path of installing Simple SEO URL and getting it to work without ruining my zencart, I have to take what is apparently serious but ill-defined risks. What are the risks?

How much time is involved in getting Simple SEO URL working properly? The Readme.txt file in the file downloaded here make the extremely overly optimistic claim that it only takes 15-20 minutes!

Any comments will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Zencart is also a "use at your own risk" software.

Any FREE software is "use at your own risk" :P Obviously you cant sue us for softwares that you dont pay for.

The module usually takes me 5-10 mins to upload(lots of file there). The sql installation is automatic. There is no manual "edit" except for the .htaccess with the content suggested in yoursite.com/ssu_check.php so it is copye&paste process. Then you just have to go to Admin->SSU configuration to turn on the features you want and then turn on SSU.

Usually it would take more on your first try (you have to read the notes etc). But then if you ever have the chance to install it on the 2nd store it takes less than 20mins (if you have a fast connection like me, 5 mins is all it takes).

Hello,

You sound a bit rude in your post. Some one put there time and effort to bring this module to you use for your cart, for free at that. If you don't like how something sounds in there wording then don't use it. No need for sarcasm.

Can you do any better?? If so make it and put it out there.

Depending on how skilled you are it actually on take, at least for me 5 - 10 minutes, including backup of my DB and appropriate files.

Module manager works fine and has not caused any problems on any of my sites. You will also find that the module manager is used with many other modules that you may encounter.

Thanks,
First you have to make sure that on your site, there are no dynamic links left (mouse over the links to see). If there are still dynamic links, it means you did not use the function zen_href_link to create links in your template (and this should be fixed as this is the correct way to do it).
Then, give it sometimes. Google and other Search Engines need to take a while to eventually drop the old links and pick up the new links. Even with 301 permanent redirection it does take a while, maybe a few days, sometimes a few weeks.

Thank you yellow, that looks great. BTW, you may want to consider updating that dead link. Everyone downloading the mod from the zen-cart site and following the directions in your readme.txt file runs into the dead link. :dontgetit
