Find includes/classes/ssu/cores/link.php and REPLACE the 2 instances of urlencode($value) by $value

I tried this, it didn't fix my particular problem though.

Hi Yellow

I have reviewed my .htaccess file that is in the directory /Store. The file is as follows:

BOF SSU

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /Store/

Deny access from .htaccess

RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA]

EOF SSU

I hope you could help me out with this problem. I still having the same problem.

Regards

Hi, I have found a tread that talk about the same problem, I am having the problem with the homepage and I am using a Windows server, so I think the .htaccess doesnt work. I searched for a solution in the thread.

Any ideas?:mellow:

OK, another question :P

Is it possible to somehow remove the "c-2" "p-527" after the friendly URL ends?

to have www . zen-cart-shop. com/laptops/toshiba-xyz

instead of now having www . zen-cart-shop. com/laptops-c-2/toshiba-xyz-p-124

thanks for the answers :smartalec:

IIS server may not support htaccess

yellow1912:

Gomlers, yes you can.

First, assuming the language code for Norwegian is "no" (please check, Im not sure)

Create a file named no.php

Put it in includes/classes/ssu/plugins/languages/

Now, for the content of the file, put it:
(make sure this php file is utf8 encoded)

dontknowwhatimdoing:

I'm having this problem myself--URLs are not getting re-written in the source & I can't figure out why. Its producing unmodified query strings in my source instead of the new alias URLs. The 301 redirects are working to the new URLs but that's it.

Hi, great mod thanks.

I have a quirky issue. When I try to go to my home page, https://www.clearlyoptics.com I get redirected to https://www.clearlyoptics.com/index/index_php.

Is there some way to fix this? does this sound like an .htaccess problem or an issue at my hosting level?

Thanks

Hi
I have a problem, I have about 1300 products, and yesterday I upload 4 products, but when I go on
Extra>ssu manager
and reset all or only products I see a white page, so the product name remains
https://www.mysite.com/categories/product-name-1357.html and so not the exact name of product, but the generic name product name, how can I do?

if I delete the content of the folder of cache/ssu/products is the same?

Noticed this the other day. On my manufacturers pages the links are getting mangled. Check out: http://buydentalequipment.com/cart/index/manufacturers_id/2

For each item there are three links to the product page the title, the more info and the details button. The title and details button get the wrong URL IE:
http://buydentalequipment.com/cart/air-abrasion-systems-air-abrasion-units-c-3_57_71_72/manufacturers_id/2/refurbished-at-kcp-1000-p-974

You can see the 'manufacturers_id/2/' in there which is messing it up. The correct link is:
http://buydentalequipment.com/cart/air-abrasion-systems-air-abrasion-units-c-3_57_71_72/refurbished-at-kcp-1000-p-974

I tried shutting off SSEO and it seemed to work fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Alright I've made some progress on this and a possible fix. Unsure if this was a weird problem with SSU or my template. The culprit turned out to be in the file:

http://buydentalequipment.com/cart/includes/templates/theme056/common/tpl_tabular_display.txt

At around line 50 there exists the following code:

        case 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME':
         if (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id'])) {
          $list_box_contents[$rows]['name'] = $listing->fields['products_name'];
		 //$list_box_contents[$rows]['but'] = zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'manufacturers_id=' . $_GET['manufacturers_id'] . '&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']);
		 $list_box_contents[$rows]['but'] = zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), ($cPath ? 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']);
         } else {
          $list_box_contents[$rows]['name'] = $listing->fields['products_name'];
		 $list_box_contents[$rows]['but'] = zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), ($cPath ? 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']);		   
         }
         $list_box_contents[$rows]['description'] = zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION);
         break;

You can see the bad line which I commented out and replaced with the line below the else which seemed to fix the issue.

But I'm not totally happy with my fix, unsure what I'm messing with here and why it was messed up in the first place. Did I just lose some functionality?

Thank you for your time,

Is this Simple SEO compatible with sitemapxml_formerly_google_sitemap_2-1-0?

I have noticed that the XML produced for the sitemap points to the Pre-Simple SEO URLs not the modified ones.

Thanks

Which CC module you are using? You can check which "pages" this module is using and EXCLUDE it in the conversion list. Perhaps in the future I will revert SSU behavior so that the store owners will have to specify the "pages" they want to convert to seo links instead. It will be safer that way.

I am using QuantumGateway SIM module. Where is the conversion list to exclude it and how do I find which pages the module is using to exclude it?

IIS DOES NOT support Htaccess... you will need to modify the add-on to work with ISAPI rewrite.... google for Helicon ISAPI rewrite... but first you need to install and configure the ISAPI add-on... and unless u know what your doing this can be a pain in the bum !

I am using QuantumGateway SIM module. Where is the conversion list to exclude it and how do I find which pages the module is using to exclude it?
The safest way is to exclude all pages related to payment process, that includes but not limited to: checkout_shipping, checkout_process, checkout_payment, checkout_success. The use if exclude list can be found on the wiki.

Also, I will repeat it 1 more time: SSU does NOT generate links that look like this:
www.mysite.com/categories/product-name-1357.html
It never generate a product link with html extension, not now and probably not in the future.

@llynix: honestly I think it is a good fix unless you need to use the manufacturer id on the link somewhere in your product info code.

I am using multisite and simple SEO all works great except I get this every once in awhile

/categories_name-c-0/products-name-p-18

and of course the page says "Sorry, the product was not found."

How do I fix it?
