Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

sorry but that seems above me, I'm still having problems also. The only things I can think of reading it, are do you have your categories already set up? And are you using multiple languages?

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

Can anyone help?:(

Hi all,
I'm sorry to cross post but my other post in another category doesn't seem to be getting much attention.

I'm having a rather urgent problem as the customer login isn't working properly. When the customer logs in for the first time (i.e. first session, they may have already registered before), they receive the following error if in Firefox, and if using IE it just hangs.

The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

• This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
  cookies.

I have SSU installed and it appears to be some sort of SSU redirect problem since if I turn it off, everything works fine. It seems to be some sort of problem because it's transfering to a HTTPS site. Also if the customer goes back on the browser and clicks around, then goes back in, everything works fine. It's only the first page in the login when a new session is made.

I've tried clearing all SSU related cache, turned it off and on, etc but same error.

I have 1.3.8 installed on my server and everything works fine until recently. I'm not sure what caused it as I've installed a couple of things but nothing that should significantly change anything.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

Just installed SSU, and had a few trip-ups, but managed to sort them out with the help of this forum and the install guide. Now I've encountered a problem which I can't find a way to solve.
The last change I made was to .htaccess to be as recommended in ssu_check.php... this allowing access to the secured pages (shared certificate) which hadn't been accessible before (404). After that the site all seemed to be working fine.
Then thought I'd tweak some things in the admin>configuration, only to find that all links in admin are inaccessible now. The admin home page is OK, but all links off that take me to a 404 page not found message. If I revert back to previous .htaccess, then the site's secure pages are inaccessible, and the whole of admin is OK.

Some info: https://www.ashore.co.nz , using 1.3.8a , latest ssu , admin folder has been renamed

Help!
Thanks,
Don.

Hi,

I have a problem with SGA and ecommerce revenue... I have JAM affiliate installed aswell, and that seems to mess up the GA code, as the JAM has its own tpl_footer (placed in a folder called .../[my template]/checkout_success). That footer overrides the other one, and thus removes the SGA code from checkout success - where I need it to be, to track revenue etc...

Any idea how to work around this?

Oh... Wrong thread. SORRY!

Hey,

Thanks so much for this add-on! It's been a great help with my google rankings!

I'm having a strange issue with one manufacturer. When I try to access the page for that manufacturer, I get a page not found error, but it works with all others. I've cleared the cache, but that doesn't seem to help and typing in the full url (/index/manufacturer_id/26) works, but the alias does not. Any ideas?

Thanks!

anyone can tell me that if SSU work with zencart with wordpress module? for wordpress articles f course.

gmrm:

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 ???

cant answer about the dbase, but can you not use a cron job such as the one below, edited for your server, and set it to run every 25 mins or so. this will then clear the catch constantly and therefore wont allow such a huge build up of files.

/ramdisk/bin/php5 -q /home/whatever/public_html/shop/cron/ssu.php

Hi, I am at a loss as when SSU is turned on no back buttons on the site work( zen_back_link is the offender I think), eg the ones on contact us form, the terms and conditions page etc etc. they all give a 404 error. Everything else works fine. I have been trying things in the exclude list but have now run out of ideas ( and knowledge) to continue.

Has anyone else had this problem and if so do you know how to fix it?

many thanks

I have a question about adding tracking parameters to the URLs. For example, when I add Google Analytics tracking parameters to a URL like this:

website.com/?utm_source=yahoo&utm_campaign=brand&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=my+keyword+here

what I get once SSU gets done with it is this:

website.com/?utm_source=yahoo&utm_campaign=brand&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=my keyword here

with a "page not found" error. I know this is a problem with the spaces in the utm_term parameter, but don't know how to get around it.

If I change the spaces to a url encoded space (%2B) I get the same response from SSU and a page not found.

I have put these parameters in the Parameter Exclude list, so that's not the problem.

Any ideas?

So nobody knows what might be a problem with ssu manager,
it says:
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'),');]

and what to do to fix it???
THANKSSSSSSSS

I don't get this mod.. It took me me 2 hours to install it..Kept causing problems on a fresh install of Zen..THEN when i do get it installed it jackes up my CSS buttons!!!

And for some products that I have insert recently via easy upload
I have the browser redirect loop
(with browser IE, firefox, chrome, safari)

please help me
I have about 1400 products :cry:

The only fix I have found for my back button problem was a bit of a bodge but better that than 404 errors.

I changed the code in functions_general.php:

from:

// Set back button
  function zen_back_link() {
    if (sizeof($_SESSION['navigation']->path)-2 > 0) {
      $back = sizeof($_SESSION['navigation']->path)-2;
      $link = '<a href="' . zen_href_link($_SESSION['navigation']->path[$back]['page'], zen_array_to_string($_SESSION['navigation']->path[$back]['get'], array('action')), $_SESSION['navigation']->path[$back]['mode']) . '">';
    } else {
      if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) && strstr(HTTP_SERVER, $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) {
        $link= $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
      } else {
        $link = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">';
      }
      $_SESSION['navigation'] = new navigationHistory;
    }
    return $link;
  }

to:

// Set back button
  function zen_back_link() {
    if (sizeof($_SESSION['navigation']->path)-2 > 0) {
      $back = sizeof($_SESSION['navigation']->path)-2;
      $link = '<a href="[URL]http://www.ASHOP.com/index/index_php[/URL]">';
    } else {
      if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) && strstr(HTTP_SERVER, $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) {
        $link= $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
      } else {
        $link = '<a href="[URL]http://www.ASHOP.com/index/index_php[/URL]">';
      }
      $_SESSION['navigation'] = new navigationHistory;
    }
    return $link;
  }

and then changed the following in tpl_conditions_default.php

from

<div class="buttonRow back"><?php echo zen_back_link() . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_BACK, BUTTON_BACK_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>
```to

I suspect you are using linked product right?
If so, it's how it's supposed to be.

First, dont worry about duplicated content in this, Google says it's okie

Second, if you still worry about it, you can use canonical tag, if you would like to use canonical tag with SSU then perhaps you want to try out the new version, contact me for the package.

Hi,

Duplicate content is no okie, actually. How can we tweak this to use a proper canonical url for linked products?

Any ideas?

Hi Yellow,

I have my product listing pages set up so that when a customer clicks the "buy it now" button the product is added to their cart without going to the product info page, it stays on the product listing page.

This works fine when SSU is turned off, but when I activate SSU the behaviour changes and pressing the buy it now button instead takes the user to the product info page.

Any ideas on what might be causing this change in behaviour as I would like the user to stay on the product listing page when they press the buy it now button.

Many thanks

Hi yellow1912,

I'm experiencing the same issue as described above. When on a product listing page, after a customer clicks on the buy now button, they are redirected to the product info page rather than remaining on the product listing page.

Just want to know if there's a solution to this other than setting the buy button to redirect to the shopping cart.

SSU v3.7.1
ZC v1.3.81

Thanks.

Anyone know how to fix this issue?:blush:

Raine must be taken a well deserved vacation.

my SSU mad has started to act odd.
when i try and set my own alias to a URL it reverts the URL to the way it would be wrote with aliases turned off.

resetting cache does nothing.
has this mod stopped being maintained by yellow1912?
