Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Tried a work around and had some success

johnnylazerball:

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?
Meaning you are using easypoplulate version that messes up the master category id. You can reset master category id via store manager in the admin I believe. Be careful if you are also using linked products though.

Could someone please point me to the installation instructions for the mod? The read me gives a URL http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zencart/modules/ssu which takes me to a page with a message saying that it is a topic that doesn't yet exist.
Thanks

I just noticed doing a backup that my simple seo cache is HUGE..
tousands and thousands of tiny files. I tried resetting it in the
admin gui but it timed out.

I only have 15 products.

Any idea whats going on?

Can I clean it up somehow from the command line?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Raine I have a little problem sometimes. I notice when you click on a category it takes you to the product page instead of seeing all the products in that category. When I cut seo off it works fine. When I cut seo off and clean my cache it seems to work for a little while then it messes up again. Any ideas on this would be appreciated. Thanks you in advance.

I have little problem with the Simple SEO URL

I have some products with manufacturers name contain "&" and "-"
for example "X&Y" and "X-game"
if using the manufacturer side box to sort those items, the url display like this:

For manufacturer "X&Y" will display: https://www.mydomain.com/shop/x
how to change it back to https://www.mydomain.com/shop/manufacturer/x-y

For manufacturer "X-game" will display: https://www.mydomain.com/shop/game

how to change it back to https://www.mydomain.com/shop/manufacturer/x-game

thx

Hi

Can't find the installation instructions for this. the links do not seem to be operating.

Thanks

matt

My installation is still showing warnings when I visit ssu_check.php

I am using the .htaccess file that is provided and this is my includes/configure.php setup:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://mysite.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://mysite.com');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/store/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/store/');

and all of my cache files are set to 777

Can anyone explain why I'm getting these warnings? The don't make sense to me.

try here : http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zencart/modules/ssu/installation

I could use some help too, I see that I am supposed to append my htaccess file but not sure what I should replace, could someone let me know what lines to cut to replace please.

Thanks,

here is what I currently have in my htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .* - [L]

RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU

I know that goes in there somewhere but I can't figure where, also, my site is https://www.aprons4you.com, so i'm not sure why it's pointing to aprons4you.net??? I do own that and it's pointed here as well but that is not the parent url?

Thanks,

Yellow i have a question for you. I have a server with 1and1 and i have used all of my allocated files 262,144 in total. I have noticed that SSU uses a lot of these in the cache. Is there a way of having the cache in the DB not the cache in the root directory of my website ???

ninnypants, I had the same problem, but someone pointed out to me that there are no errors. It just says checking. Try going forward and see if you have any other problems.

Thanks for the link about installation. My knowledge of Zencart is expanding all the time, but the info on the link is confusing for me. I've looked through a lot of this thread for an idiots guide to using this add-on, but to no avail.

Really I need to know.

Which files to upload and where to.
Simple steps to how I change the urls to more user friendly names.

Sorry to be such a pain, but is there anyone reading this who can get down to my level.

Thanks

Matt:(

everything was really quite easy except for the htaccess thing that I myself am having problems with. But that is only because I think I have other plugins that have added stuff to my htaccess file. If you have a blank htacess at start, just use the one that is included and will be easy from there, if you are running 1.3.8a all you have to do is upload the files, then log into admin and select it from extras and it installs itself, then go to the cofig section of admin and turn it on. only change that you might need to make would be if you changed the name of your admin folder (for security) make sure that you change the name on your upload file to go to the right admin directory.

Thanks Richard for such a quick response. I'm still a little unclear. which files do I upload - all of them? admin, includes,cache, ajax, docs, ht access, ssu check.

Thanks

yes all of them.. just make sure to change your admin folder to match the name of your admin folder if you changed it. If you have not, you really should read the section on security and rename that folder to help with hack attempts.

Hi all,
I just installed this add on, moved all the files to the server. But now when I go to admin-extras-SSu Manager it shows me this message:
1048 Column 'configuration_group_id' cannot be null
in:
[INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('Set default language identifier', 'SSU_MULTI_LANGUAGE_DEFAULT_IDENTIFIER', 'true', 'This option is useful for sites that use multi-languages. You can tell SSU to not add language identifier into the links for the default language.', @t4, 1, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array('true', 'false'),');]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

I went through forum and saw that askaquestion also had this problem, but he did not post the solution. And delete from module_version_tracke where module_code = 'yellow1912_ssu'; did not work either.

Can anybody help me get this thing working?
Thanks!!!

forgot to add, the verison I am using - Beta 3.6.4

do you have the module manager installed?

yes, I have it, and it shows that I have yellow1912_ssu module installed as well.
