Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

I would like to use this Module, but could you tell me what this means from the HTACCESS File.

BOF SSU

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "zencart" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase /
RewriteBase /zencart/Would this mean change RewriteBase to zen cart or to my Root name
RewriteBase /http://www.thegoodshepherdstore.com/

Thank you

The RewriteBase is the folder where Zen is installed. In your case, Zen is in the root folder so you would enter /

So I would not put anything. I would need to remove were it says
RewriteBase /zencart/ to RewriteBase /.
One question, how would I turn on mod_rewrite on the APACHE server. Thank you again.

The line shoud read:

RewriteBase /zencart/

As for your other question, I can't help you out, sorry.

Thank you for the help.

I seem to have this Module working great, but I have a problem. I have the CAPTCHA using TTF & GD & Telephone Not Required on Signup Module installed and It was working up until I installed simple seo. Any idea what could be causing the Captcha Module not to work anymore. Thank you.

I noticed in a much earlier post that someone mentioned a problem with Set Link Alias Status. I have set this to true but see no additional settings in Admin->Extras->Simple SEO URL Manager. All I can do is reset the cache. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

So is the only insurmountable problem with this mod that you can't accept paypal?

Has anybody used this with google base feeder or google checkout or checkout without account successfully?

I may be willing to forego paypal for this mod.

Thanks.

I'm using ZC 1.3.8a. I made sure that the SEO would work with this version before installing. I followed the upload instruction to the letter - even skipped step 2 per readme.

I uploaded .htaccess to root with the rewriteBase /shop-lela/ which is the directory where the catalog resides.

i got errors to the ying-yang. Then I remembered that I had a similar .haccess file for an old client running a zc v1.3.5xxxx or something. It got the product page working just fine, thank you.

Now for the login, my account, info pages., I get:
Page Not Found

Custom 404 Error Page with Site Map Sample Text ...
Put your custom "page not found" message here. You can change this text in the Define Pages Editor located under Tools in the Admin.

followed by the site map, of course.

The site is http://www.leladesigns.ca/shop-lela/

I have attached the .htacces based on old version in file oldHtaccess.txt

Someone mentioned a patch, but the explanation lost me completely. :blush:

anyone? :clap:

KP,

Your htaccess file appears to be modified for Ultimate SEO, not Simple SEO. Sorry for the obvious question, did you install Simple or Ultimate SEO?

Hi, I've had a couple of attempts at installing this on my development server but can't seem to get it right. I've followed the installation instructions carefully but:

• when I've finished all the pages on the site display a 404 error

• and the test item I've got in the catalogue has this URL: http://localhost/didcotzen/shop/cSSU_ID_DELIMITER1

Can anyone advise what I'm doing wrong? This is on a fresh installation of v1.3.8a. Would really like to get this working if I can.

Thanks in advance, Emily

I read earlier in this thread where someone else had a problem with the link alias status doing absolutely nothing but they got no response. Does anyone know what turning that to "True" is supposed to do? I thought it was supposed to give you extra functions in the Manager, but I checked that file and there is no place that the code calls for anything besides resetting the cache.

What am I missing here?

how many people are running this on a live site? Could you provide links so we can check it out in action?

Also, if paypal doesn't function properly, is there any way to set up a button that would take the customer to paypal for checkout similar to the way google checkout works? Is that what paypal express is?

thanks.

Qwert302:

http://www.framescity.com Running this mod for about 1.5 months with no issues. I'm using Paypal Pro & IPN is disabled in paypal settings. Transactions are coming through.

Note that if you use Paypal standard, you have to switch IPN "on". That's where most of the complaints about this mode are about. :cry:

good luck

I have paypal standard.... so pro will work??? May have to add pro if that is the case.

What do you mean switch IPN "ON"??? i am using Zen 1.3.7, I have it turned on under the payment modules in the admin... is there someplace else???

I have always had wonderful help from the forum members...what is going on?? My posts are being completely ignored as if I didn't even write them. If nobody knows the answer, please just let me know that. I find it hard to believe that only one other person has run into this problem. I really just need to know how to get the "Set link alias status" to work.

Please give me some feedback. Thanks a ton.

Hey Jim:

I have a quick question. I removed all the old and new SEO files from the server. I now get a caching error. also, I created a new product and clicked preview. When I clicked update, it gave these errors:

Warning: main(includes/reset_seo_cache.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/tinamh/public_html/shop-lela/admin/product.php on line 31

Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening 'includes/reset_seo_cache.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home2/tinamh/public_html/shop-lela/admin/product.php on line 31

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home2/tinamh/public_html/shop-lela/admin/product.php:31) in /home2/tinamh/public_html/shop-lela/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 21

Yet it adds the product.

I also made changes to the option name sort order and it is not being accepted. See http://www.leladesigns.ca/shop-lela/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10&products_id=28

the order should be:
details
color
notice
size

lastly, in admin/configuration/seo URLs still exists and has this error above the parameters:

Warning: call_user_func(zen_reset_cache_data_seo_urls) [function.call-user-func]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback in /home2/tinamh/public_html/shop-lela/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line **1545

**this is the first time i have installed and configured zen cart without the benefit of a programmer. I'm so close to launching and I would really appreciate some assistance to take me the extra step.

Thank you.

Both of these indicate not all of the mod has been removed. You'll need to go back file by file and be sure all the files are removed and that any files that were modified during the installation are returned to their original state. product.php is looking for reset_seo_cache.php, that's the cause of the first error.

I'm not going to be much help on the other problem but I'd get this uninstall fixed first. I'ts not likely a cause but best to get it out of the way first.

Hey Jim:

thanks for the advice. I unzipped a new version of both the mods. checked file by file and folder by folder. I got it all. I had renamed the original files that were modified with .orig.php. I even re-uploaded these files from the original zen cart download, just in case I got my wires crossed. the error is still there. I even re-read the readme file in case an sql patch was involved or code changes to a file. Nadda.:no:

when i use the browser back button, Firefox give me the message attached below.

I've been staring at thsi for the better part of the afternoon. would you or someone on the team, be kind enough ot take a gander? Or perhaps suggest how i can do this more efficiently without going blind? :frusty:

KP,

Without access to your server or admin, there's not much I can do. Are you still getting this error:

Warning: main(includes/reset_seo_cache.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/tinamh/public_html/shop-lela/admin/product.php on line 31

It's saying line 31 of admin/product.php is calling the file includes/reset_seo_cache.php which does not exist. Open product.php and look for a reference to reset_seo_cache.php
