Hi,
Yellow, can you please tell me how to figure out ssu for the second language, it simply does not work as it suppose to, or maybe I am doing something wrong. The link shows up as "-c-1" and the same thing for the products links. I have chaged the local.config.php and have ru.php but yet no effect so far:frusty:
THANKSSSS

First, you need to make sure you changed it correctly, double check it or post the content of your local config here

Change the language configuration of ssu and clean up your ssu cache just to make sure

Here is what I have in my local.config.php (Russian is default)

Nah, it should be 'ru' => 'ru'

Thank you

I changed it to 'ru' => 'ru' but it did not help either. Thanks though(((

If you links show up without name, you must be using easy populate which has messed up your master category id. This happens alot, and you will need to reset your master categories id by going to tools-store manager to reset.

In short, future version will support it. But right now if you want to do it, yes you can. You can always do that easily by getting the default url of the products, if you simply pass in the products id without the cpath (into zen_hraf_link) you will always get the default url.
Yellow what do you suggest for a temporary solution for right now. Will this work or do you suggest something else. Thank you

hi again,
sorry Yellow for bothering you so much but reseting Master Category Id did not help either. I installed a fresh Zen cart and only put inside Russian language and ssu, still I got the same problem. Any ideas???/
THANK YOU!!!

Honestly, I have no idea unless I see your installation myself. We have installed this module for many russian, french, etc... sites and we have no problem with it. if you only see -c-19 without the name for example, more than likely your installation is messed up.

Thanks for pointing that out. For the 3 issues I am not sure what to do. I know google is not indexing all my pages. Out of 2189 pages they are indexing something like 419

Before you rush to your ftp client to apply the new code, I have a big warning for you: the code suggested there should NOT be used, in my opinion.

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

-FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess /.?? *~ # /HEADER /README /_vti
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all

BEGIN WordPress

END WordPress

#### BOF SSU

# Change "/zencart/ to the correct setting

RewriteBase /zencart/

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

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,

just a re-post I still need help if available

Just a note, Google 99% of the time will not index all your links, so to make sure Google indexes your most important pages is a SEO art (which can be learned, of course)

Well I bet you are the the one that could teach me that art.....lol

http://www.seomoz.org/ is the right place for you to learn all that sort of things.

But in short, you want to make sure you want to present the most important links to the search engines FIRST. For example, if you have some links that the search engines need to go through several sub-pages to grab them then the chances are high that they can be ignored. A good example in our case is:

Home page -> category -> sub cat level 1 -> sub cat level 2 -> then go to page 12 of the category listing page -> product link

You can see in our case the search engines need to go through more than 10 pages to eventually get to our product page.
(think of how you normally go to this specific product, search engines have to do the same, and they can't use the search feature btw)

Thanks for the reply yellow. IT does make absolute sense that something must be wrong with my html_output.php if my URLs are not being re-written internally. As always, you're amazing, thank you so much for writing this mod. I really think Zen Cart needs to make this mod part of their standard cart in the future (once this mod is done). In fact, maybe they should hire you! :)

Thanks I will check it out soon and try to learn some of this stuff.

Hi Raine,

I am faced with problems in resetting the SSU cache. It takes ages and ages and then shows a timeout page. Is there any way to fix this or manually reset cache?

Regards,
Harshil

There is a newer (have been tested on a few sites but not official yet) version posted in the previous 1 or 2 pages, if you want to you can try it out. It will still take time to clear cache if your server is slow, but it wont time out since it uses javascript to reload.

so nobody is familiar with the htaccess file? That being the case, what is the easiest way to uninstall this?
