How does this fall into this topic?

Just wanted to drop you a post to say thank you for all your help... I know we all keep you very very very, it is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

yellow1912:

First of all, I recommend you redownload the package from the site under my sig, upload everything again to make sure you get the latest version.

Second, if you are still missing some configuration fields of SSU, let me know, we may need to trigger the re-installation process of ssu database patch.

Third, post a screenshot of your link manager here

I believe I have the latest download. 3.6.7. I dont think that I am missing any configuration fields. Also I dont want to reinstall the newest module because I am using 1.3.7 and your mod says its for platform 1.3.8. I have way to many modifications on my site to risk it unless it is working of the same system and premis of v3.6.7

Here is the list of all the configuration feilds I have in Admin>Config>SSU

File extension
Name delimiter
ID delimiter
Set max category level
Exclude list
Set Link Alias Status
Set minimum word length
Set maximum name length
Set SSU Status
Set SSU Multi Language Status
Set Query Key's Exclude List
Set Auto Alias Status
Set Category Separator
Hide default language identifier

Thank you

Hello- HELP!

I am having some frustrating problems with this addon- however it seems to be working in general- i feel like i'm so close! I believe this has to do with the Simple SEO URL addon having some funky conflict with the Stock By Attributes module.

The problem i'm having:
I have SSU installed and it appears to be working correctly. But there are some disturbing problems...

1. Product Info pages for products with attributes display but the actual content relevant to that product is not displayed within the layout.
   For example:
   http://www.countryinspirations.com/wooden-signs-with-verse/wooden-signs-with-assorted-sayings this example is a product that has had it's stock set by the stock by attributes addon.

This seems to be a product-with-attributes problem only because product info pages without any attributes seem to display fine.
For example: http://www.countryinspirations.com/children-s-gifts/burp-cloth

2. Upon loggin in the user us directed to http://www.countryinspirations.com/login?action=process which just yeilds a blank white page. When manually going to the base domain the user has been successfully logged in. If the user goes to checkout then clicks " continue checkout" to proceed to step 2 they are directed to http://www.countryinspirations.com/index.php?main_page=checkout_shipping but again it yeilds just a blank white page and they cannot continue through checkout process.

Has anyone experienced these things?! Please extend any advice or help, i need it!! This problem only started after installing this module.

One other small note... i first installed version 3.5.8 found at http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=1013
then found the latest versiono 3.7.1 and uploaded/ overwrote all the old files with it.

The website address is: http://www.countryinspirations.com/

I'm using Zen Cart v 1.3.8a which was a fresh install.

Modules I have installed:
Stock by Attributes 4.7ajax
tinymce editor
ezpages meta tag fields
google analytics
image handler
improved sitemap display
module manager rev 16
popup on attribute images
simple seo url 3.7.1
sitemap xml
ups xml
zen lightbox
using template Apple Zen

The module i expect is causing the problem:
Stock by Attributes 4.7ajax

• not sure about this though

I have followed the installation instructions at:
http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zencart/modules/ssu/installation as thoroughly as possible, and rechecked it.
I have also read the http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zencart/modules/ssu/config page thoroughly and configured the SSU.
I have also searched Google and the Simple SEO URL support thread for someone experiencing similar problems but after about 7 hours reading, experimenting, and reading with no success-i apologize, but i now must request your assistance.

The settings at Configuration > Simple SEO URL are:

http://www.countryinspirations.com/ssu_check.php yields no helpful information.

Thank you for all the work you do and time you put in to this project. I REALLY appreciate it.

Very detailed info, I hope everyone else provides any info like you when they ask for support :)

I visited http://www.countryinspirations.com/wooden-signs-with-verse/wooden-signs-with-assorted-sayings but it's a blank page.

Please use the debug tool here: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=82 and post the error you get (just the Fatal error)

I can stil post a screenshot if you need it. I have one idea I just thought of that I am going to try and see if it fixes my issue.

Thank you
It will work for 1.3.7 with no problem I believe. Please post your screenshot here, I want to look at your url-alias manager since we did have users set it incorrectly.

yellow1912:

This was fixed in the current beta version not yet released, however you can fix it easily. Simply edit the file includes/classes/ssu/cores/link.php and REPLACE the 2 instances of urlencode($value) by $value
:clap:

Thanks! Great support!

Hi Yellow would you do me a favor and send me that 3.7.5 release. You can send it by pm if you like. I have a brand new web site with no module installed and I want to install that one first. Thank you a lot.

Thank you very much for your speedy reply- i very much appreciate it. Yes, i will continue to do my best to be thorough and detailed ;)

I installed the Debug Tool you mentioned and the only Fatal Error was this:

[23-Sep-2009 10:24:00] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function zen_attribute_image() in /home2/schwebde/public_html/countryinspirations/includes/modules/apple_zen/attributes.php on line 561
This error was generated upon visiting this page:
http://www.countryinspirations.com/wooden-signs-with-verse/wooden-signs-with-assorted-sayings?zenid=adda2147447b2ac5b4613cb3bf2e4f17

Any ideas? Do you think this has to do with the "Popup on Attribute Images" or "Image Handler" addons?

Which brings me to yet another observation and comment. You said...

yellow1912:

I visited http://www.countryinspirations.com/wooden-signs-with-verse/wooden-signs-with-assorted-sayings but it's a blank page.
...which is exceedingly weird, because the URL for that page last night was http://www.countryinspirations.com/wooden-signs-with-verse/wooden-signs-with-assorted-sayings
and somehow overnight it changed to http://www.countryinspirations.com/wooden-signs-with-verse/wooden-signs-with-assorted-sayings?zenid=adda2147447b2ac5b4613cb3bf2e4f17

It now seems to be appending ?zenid=adda2147447b2ac5b4613cb3bf2e4f17 to all URL's even though the SSU addon seems to be functioning correctly and the original Problem (#1) i posted is still occuring seemingly independent of this.

A way to manually recreate this would be to go to
http://www.countryinspirations.com/
Then click on category "Wooden Signs with Verse"
You'll notice the original category ALIAS which worked has transformed from http://www.countryinspirations.com/wooden-signs-with-verse to http://www.countryinspirations.com/wooden-signs-with-verse?zenid=7204b5374449401b114770b5d817c162
Then click on "Wooden Signs with Assorted Sayings" which currently takes you to http://www.countryinspirations.com/wooden-signs-with-verse/wooden-signs-with-assorted-sayings?zenid=7204b5374449401b114770b5d817c162
and you'll see my original problem

I don't recall doing anything at all to the system after sending you the message last night. There is no automatic cron job for the /cron/ssu.php. All the settings in CONFIG>SIMPLE SEO URL are the same as in my original post.

ANOTHER PROBLEM that I've realized that may be related is that within the Admin Control Panel the Dropdown menus no longer appear ONLY ON the EXTRAS > SIMPLE SEO URL MANAGER page

YET ANOTHER PROBLEM that may be relevant:
When going to http://www.countryinspirations.com/children-s-gifts/children-s-quiet-book?zenid=f8026cce5e86b9fda19cccf0b1202ac0 for example (a product info page that has no attributes), the product image is not loaded... which lends itself to the Fatal Error message i believe?

Note: when clicking "Manage Aliases: Click Here" everything seems to work great, all aliases are enabled, none are permanent, and none of the aliases include the "zenid" variable that appears to be being appended to links now.

I have been using FileZilla to upload all the SSU 3.7.1 files (and have done it a second time for good measure) and there haven't been any failed transfers.

As a side note- i also had the problem where the SSU folder in site-root/cache/ folder automatically deleted itself, but i believe it was because i had clicked the CLICK HERE next to "Check and fix cache(Run this once if you upgrade from any version older than 3.6.5):" under CACHE FUNCTIONS at EXTRAS>SIMPLE SEO URL MANAGER This hasn't happened since which is why i didn't include it in the original problem information

From what i understand zen_attribute_image() is relevant to the Image Handler 2 addon. I'm not sure why this would've become a problem once installing SSU... I'm going to try upgrading Image Handler 2

from version image_handler__for_vx_IH2-0for1-3x with image-handler_2.0-zc137 and image-handler_2.0-zc137 Optional Extra installed

to version image_handler__for_vx_Ver2-0rev7
which i think is the newest version

I'm confused about which version is best/newest with inconsistent version standards as well as 2 different websites to get the Add On From.

image_handler__for_vx_Ver2-0rev7
is from http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=117

and image-handler_2.0-zc13
is from http://breakmyzencart.com

How do i know which is the most recent version? ... i understand for some Addon's the one located at the Zen Cart addon resource page is NOT the newest version, however for Image Handler 2 i understand it to be because of this statement:

"Most up to date versions
Most up to date versions of image handler modified for current releases of zen-cart can be found in the zen-cart.com download section. As I have very little time to take care of this project, the zen-cart community has continued to support and keep image handler up to date."
found at http://breakmyzencart.com/

I have installed the latest version of Image Handler V2 (image_handler__for_vx_Ver2-0rev7) as mentioned above but problem persists just the same.

My line 561 in root/includes/modules/apple_zen/attributes.php by the way is:

                      $tmp_attributes_image .= '<div class="attribImg">' . zen_attribute_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $products_options->fields['attributes_image']) . (PRODUCT_IMAGES_ATTRIBUTES_NAMES == '1' ? '<br />' . $products_options->fields['products_options_values_name'] : '') . '</div>' . "\n";

Hello,

I haven't downloaded or installed this package as of yet. I was wondering if this is what I need or not.

*What I wish to do with this package:

I would like to add my products to the google.com/base but placing the long URL with the cPath& is breaking the .xml that google base requires.

I would also like to create a site map for the products.. this too is in .xml for google and breaks with the cPath&

I guess the question(s) here is/are:

Q1. If I added this package/mod to my site would I then be able to upload my .xml files to google for base and site map?

Q2. Is there another way to do this without the package?

Q3. What happens if I am already showing up on google results in the first or second page. Is it worth it?

I look forward to any input on this matter.

Thank you,

jasmel

I am having almost the same error:

" [24-Sep-2009 00:49:33] PHP Warning: urlencode() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/***/public_html/includes/classes/ssu/cores/link.php on line 407"

and also:

"24-Sep-2009 00:45:55] PHP Warning: Header may not contain more than a single header, new line detected. in /home/***/public_html/includes/classes/ssu/cores/link.php on line 209"

Any ideas? Would changing urlencode($value) by $value also solve this problem?

DivaVocals:

I have a similar issue though it's a lot more catastophic for me.. When I update the product notifications I get this error:

---

Very thorough, let me go answer in details:

1. the error seems to be unrelated to SSU, more than likely that specific function is missing, maybe you missed some file while uploading your attribute package? This kind of error cant be caused by SSU.

2. regarding zenid, more than likely you set something wrong in your config, it should be under admin-configuration-session or something like that.

What is your version, where and when did you download it? It is the first time I see this error. Doing what you propose may solve the error but I wonder why you get it in the first place.

Jasmel, you dont really need this package. Did you checkout he google base feeder available in download section?

I downloaded it from here: http://eazyecommerce.com/web-templates/zen-cart/modules/simple-seo-url

and the zip says:
ssu_beta_3.6.7(php5)

downloaded it the 12th of June 2009.

Any ideas why this is happening?

You should at least get the newest one from the same place first, upgrade and see if it helps, report back if it doesnt
