Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Having problems validating my pages using SSU. I get the error:

Line 193, Column 168: cannot generate system identifier for general entity "zenid"

…yers-guide-p-252?action=add_product&zenid=82ee1130bb56467dfe0fc7aa847d13b5"

An entity reference was found in the document, but there is no reference by that name defined. Often this is caused by misspelling the reference name, unencoded ampersands, or by leaving off the trailing semicolon (;). The most common cause of this error is unencoded ampersands in URLs as described by the WDG in "Ampersands in URLs".

I noticed far earlier in this thread there was the same issue. However attempts to patch my SSU like the thread specified did not work. Any clue on how I can get valid pages in my cart?

Thank you,
Anthony

I am having a bit of trouble integrating the ssl (shared), I have basically put it in like:

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg-http://www.your_domain.com
// HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg-https://www.your_domain.com
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://acetechcomputers.co.uk');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://my server IP');

// Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
// these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/~example/');

Obviously I have put my actual sever ip and login and I am not using a subfolder, thing is, if I just visit "https://my server ip/~my login name" it is there, but when I try to login my test account I get a 404 not found error:

The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Any advice on what I need to do would be greatly appreciated!

What does this have to do with Simple Seo Url?
Anyway you need put your store address into the field you put your ip address, like this. This configure.php file is for your store front. You have to do the samething in your admin/include/configure.php

includes/configure.php

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg-http://www.your_domain.com
// HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg-https://www.your_domain.com
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.acetechcomputers.co.uk');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.acetechcomputers.co.uk');Like so

Admin/include/configure.php

• If you desire your entire admin to be SSL-protected, make sure you use a "https:" URL for all 4 of the following:
  */
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.acetechcomputers.co.uk');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.acetechcomputers.co.uk');
  define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.acetechcomputers.co.uk');
  define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.acetechcomputers.co.uk');

  // Use secure webserver for catalog module and/or admin areas?
  define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true');
  define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true');

What does this have to do with Simple Seo Url?

I configured it how it told me to on simple seo setup instruction as it said it was different, it didn't work so I thought that I would check if I had done it right.

Anyway you need put your store address into the field you put your ip address, like this. This configure.php file is for your store front. You have to do the samething in your admin/include/configure.php

It was my host (hosting24) who told me to use the server ip / my login, though I have tried it how you said with my storename, and I did do the changes in admin/includes/configure.php too but still wouldn't work, this was what came up then when I tried to login using my test account:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to acetechcomputers.co.uk.

SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

*   The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

*   Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.

Thanks anyway.

any other ideas, anybody?

UPDATE:

It is simple seo url that is stopping it from working, when I have SSU disabled, https works with using "server ip/username" (with username either after slash or in define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/~username/'); a bit further down (like it says to do it in install notes for SSU).

BUT

When I enable SSU, I get the 404 error that I quoted earlier, does anyone think that this is because it is an ip address as opposed to a url? (like I said, it does NOT work with using the url and it was my host that told me to use the ip for my shared ssl details)

Bit stuck here, anyone?

I am using ZC 1.3.8.a and I am reviewing SSU 3.7.1 on a testsite.
I use 3 languages; Dutch, English and Indonesian. Dutch being default.

Installation was a breeze and so far I am exited about this great piece of software, but now I am running into a problem on config.
I spend hours reading this thread, but no solution came up.

The problem:
With Multilanguage Status ON, I am not able to switch languages. Allthough the statusbar on mouseover displays the right link, on clicking it sets me back to the homepage or the category listing in default language.

Example: I am on site.com/test/category_name_dutch/product-name-dutch
On mouseover the English flag, the status bar says site.com/test/EN/category_name_english/product_name-english, (like it should be)
but on clicking it takes me to a Dutch category listing page, with address:
site.com/test/EN/category_name_dutch.
From a product page I get set back to the category listing, and from a infopage back to the homepage.

My local.config looks like this:
$ssuLocalConfig = array(
'languages' => array( 'default' => 'default',
'nl' => 'default',
'id' => 'default',
)
);

My SSU setting:
File extension
Name delimiter -
ID delimiter -
Set max category level 2
Exclude list advanced_search_result,redirect,popup_image_additional,download,checkout_process
Set Link Alias Status false
Set minimum word length 0
Set maximum name length 0
Set SSU Status true
Set SSU Multi Language Status true
Set Query Key's Exclude List zenid,gclid,number_of_uploads,number_of_downloads,action,sort,page,disp_order,filter_id,alpha_filter_id,currency
Set Auto Alias Status false
Set Category Separator /
Hide default language identifier true

Anyone could shine a light on what I might be overseeing?

Thanks, Ronald

I believe someone else had the same problem with you just a few posts above, and it turns out he/she edited the wrong file

Ronald, what is the complete name of your local config file, and what is the exact content inside?

GaryUhm, did you check ssu_check.php and see what it suggests you to do?

Hi Raine could you please look at this post. Thanks

countrycharm:

Hi Raine it's me again. I understand what you are saying about adding the page to the exclude so it will keep the the page from being "seo-ed, but this is the problem. If I go to my categories and then to home and outdoors/Kitchen And Entertainingand go to page 3 you will see the cookware that is out of stock. Now if you click the To be notified when this product is back in stock please click here the page loads just fine to the back in stock form, but if you search for the item with the model number 28518 at the top and click on the To be notified when this product is back in stock please click here the page will not go to the back in stock form, it just goes to the category. This is kind of strange. Do you have any other suggestion for me. Thanks again. I have exclude the back_in_stock_notification_form, but this seems not to work. This is the URL at the top when you click to be notified.
http://www.thegoodshepherdstore.com/index/home-and-outdoor-kitchen-and-entertaining/inc_subcat/0/cookware-set?search_in_description=1&keyword=28518&sort=20a#back_in_stock_notification_form

Im not sure what's going here since I dont use this back in stock, but your form url is
http://www.thegoodshepherdstore.com/back_in_stock_notification_subscribe/home-and-outdoor-kitchen-and-entertaining/cookware-set?sort=20a&page=3

So wouldnt you put back_in_stock_notification_subscribe in the exclude page list?

I have added new items to my store so the link is wrong now. If you put this item number in the search box at top 28518 it will bring you to this page here. Now if you click on the To be notified when this product is back in stock please click here it will bring you to this page here. Look at the URL at the top. Simple Seo is converting some query string parameters into uri parts (like inc_subcat/0 ) I tried adding back_in_stock_notification_subscribe in the exclude page list

If you correctly put the page you want to exclude into SSU, then SSU will not convert any query string on that specific link. Perhaps you should copy what you have in your ssu admin config here.

It seems like the problem is that you cant go to the form, not with submitting the form, right?
First of all I would like to know which version of SSU you are using, if you are not using the latest the please upgrade first. After that, please clear out SSU cache and we will see if it still doesnt work for you. I have a newer version of SSU which we can check on your site in case all else fail.

That is right I if you do a search for the item, you can not go to the form. If you go to categories and then to the product it will work.
I'm using 3.7.0 yellow1912_ssu 16.

You are not using latest stable version, please upgrade and reset cache. If it doesnt work, please PM me for the new version

I'm updating now I will let you know in a few min.

Well I updated but it still shows 3.7.0. It did not make any difference. The form still will not come up. If I cut off Simple Seo and clear my cache it will work.
