Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

bobmatt4u:

Hello,

I have installed zen cart 1.3.8a and its working fine.

Now i try to install ssu 3.6.7 beta , i have uploaded all file properly and then when i go to admin>>extra>>simple seo url manager, it show me blank page.

Please suggest.

Thanks
Please note SSU 3.x requires php 5+, are you sure you are using php5? If you are sure you are using php5 then try to upload the files again, perhaps during the upload process some files got corrupted.

If so you should check if you uploaded all files correctly. This debug tool will also give you some hint:

Installed debug tool and got this error :

Please suggest

Thanks

Failed opening required 'includes/classes/module_installer.php

This file is missing so I guess you have not installed the module manager first.

Check the installation instructions:
http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zencart/modules/ssu/installation

Requirements:
Module Manager installed (please make sure this module is installed, or you will run into errors)
Find the module manager here:

Hello,

So please suggest me should i install modular manager now or first i uninstall ssu then install modular manage then after this install ssu again.

Thanks

I never tried it the another way round. But it should be ok when you install the module manager without removing SSU first.

Either way will work, no need to uninstall SSU then install the manager, tho the correct way is always preferred :)

When I try to view the main root of my products:

/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=0

it just sends me to the main page.. Is there a way around this?

This is essential to my site working properly.

I've tried this on 2 installations and it doesn't work, so this is some kind of default.

Here's what I'm trying to do:

The user clicks on a link called "products" , then the categories are displayed...

So the only way I can accomplish this is by making a master category "products" and then throw everything in there..

This works great , but it makes my URLS unfriendly, since "products" doesn't really benefit my items in searches.

https://www.website.com/products/laptops/small
https://www.website.com/products/laptops/large
https://www.website.com/products/desktops/tower
https://www.website.com/products/desktops/mini

It will use valuable URL space to say products.. I suppose you could just have a category called "P" or something, but this seems kind of mickey-mouse... is there another way around this?

I know you can make a link to index.php?main_page=index&cPath=0
to display the categories... but it's giving me trouble in simple SEO, is there a simple way to do this that I'm overlooking?

Probably the best way to do this is to eliminate "/products/" in the url with .htaccess or maybe through a built-in feature of Simple SEO?

well, this cPath does not exist, which might be the reason you get thrown back to main page. Why is it essential for you to use this? Tell me exactly what you are trying to do.

Uhm, are you referring to the previous post? Why not just create a new define page where you can list all your categories?

For example, you can create a new define page called "products" if you like, in this page you list all your categories

This is a more logical approach to the issue since you should avoid using invalid cpath.

yeah, that's what I was thinking.. I'm going to give it a shot

Hi,

Got a strange problem which might be related to the ssu module or not, I am a little in the dark here.

When ssu is enabled, the categories menu collapses when opening a subcategory and the breadcrumb trail only shows the home and the current category.

For an example, please take a look at https://www.fietsonline.com

This site uses ssu version 15|Beta 3.6.6 but got the same effect with version 16|Beta 3.7.1
The shop uses zen-cart version 1.38a. If someone can please point me in the right direction, I would be most gracefull.

Well, i have tried it again...

Downloaded and installed the latest module manager and SSU,
and nothing happens...

i get NO error messages etc, as far as i can see all settings are set to how the documentation says it should be.... but nothing happens.. all at... lol

site runs as if i have done nothing....

?? lol

I have never encountered this, but it may happen if whatever module tries to get the $_GET params BEFORE SSU kicks in. Turn off the module, see if it changes anything, turn it off via admin-configuration-ssu settings

hahahahahaha... cough erm... no, it was turned off

but now that it is turned on, all my links return a not found page

:-)

lol...

dont suppose you fancy saving me 10 hrs of reading and pointing me to the URL of the Document i need to read...

LOL

Either you have not overwrite/edit htaccess file (again, go back to the document I just put above :p), or your host may not support mod_rewrite. If the second is true, true bad, but turn off ssu now, and contact your host for help.

Hi Yellow..

Yes i have mod-rewrite, i can get MODx SEO to work but thats all built in (for idiots like me)

I'll have another bash... my htaccess is identical to the one in the docs.
maybe a beer will focus my mind!

I'll give it a few more days then i think will have to pay you as I'm clearly crap:)

(you have to admit tho.. i bet im the first to not have it turned on and ask why its not working,, hahaha)
