Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Hey Yellow - thanks a TON for this plugin, it's been working great for me for a while now.

I have a need now that's coming down from on-high and I'm a little stumped.

I need to parse something extra out of the query string. Specifically, I'd like to be able to add /po/blahblah to my urls and have po => blahblah show up in my get/request variable. With traditional rewrites I could do this, but Simple SEO adds a few layers in between and I don't want to wreck anything.

Any ideas?

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Yellow, I suspect that because I my site sees very little traffic I might be able to do a little restructuring and do away with caching altogether. Would you mind telling me the best way to turn the caching off so that I can try some ideas of mine?

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Hello, I have tried searching this thread for a similar problem but came up with nothing:

I recently moved our website and database to my local xampp server in order to upgrade the site from 1.3.7 to 1.3.8a. The upgrade went smoothly, everything was working, and it came time to reinstall SSU (which is working fine already on the live site). I uploaded the files, updated the .htaccess (to coincide with the local file structure), reset all the cache, and turned it back on.
And everything appeared to be working. The home page works, and going to the categories work. However, I can NOT go into subcategories past the first level of any category.

For example, I have a category:
http://localhost/biaf/cell-phone
Within it, I have a link that should take me to:
http://localhost/biaf/cell-phone/panasonic
However, when I click the latter link, it simply redirects me to the former link (staying on the same page basically).

It does this for all subcategories and some deep level products, but still works for main categories and certain products. I was wondering if anyone had an explanation as to why?

My .htaccess is the one recommended to me by ssu_check.php.

Thank you!

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

I am trying to get my site fixed so that when and if my webhost changes to php 5.3 it will still function.

It seems that a conflict involving my add ons is causing the site not to load correctly, so I am testing them one at a time.

I have created a fully patched version (php 5.3, security patches etc) of zencart 1.38a with no other add ons installed.

I have added module_manager_rev16zip and Simple SEO URL3.7.1

I get a blank store page when running it on wamp 2.0 on my local server.

I can pull up the admin (simple seo url manager), but I get Fatal error: Multiple access type modifiers are not allowed in G:\wamp2\www*\includes\classes\ssu\cores\parser.php on line 17

I can go into includes\classes\ssu\cores\parser.php and remove:

protected protected static function getClass() {
$implementing_class = self::$CLASS;
$original_class = CLASS;

    if ($implementing_class === $original_class)
        throw new Exception("You MUST provide a <code>protected static \$__CLASS__ = __CLASS__;</code> statement in your Singleton-class!");
  
    return $implementing_class;
} 

This will cause the home page to load, but then the category page is blank when I set ssu status to true. This also allows me to see admin (simple seo url manager) and reset the cache.

Do you have any idea what I need to change?

It may be something else I have done wrong, because the installer for the cart results in blank pages during the installation process. I had to paste my configure files in manually and import the database with the sql file. I do have the correct rewritebase in my .htaccess.

Also, is version 3.7.1 the newest version? Where can I look that up?

Thanks

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Is there a current installation document for this contribution? With over 400 pages dating back several years, there are so many discussions and changes that I find it impossible to use the thread for a new installation.

The read me file contains a link to documents that does not exist. It says some configuration needs to be done but does not say what that is.

I don't want to even start unless I can find some current installation for the latest release.

Are there docs somewhere I have not found yet?
**
Also how does this work in conjunction with the XML Sitemap contribution so far as generating site maps with SEO friendly URLs.**

Thanks much. :smile:

If you have not already done so get the latest release here.
After that open the read me file and copy the link http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zencart/modules/ssu/installation
It's all their you just need to read the read me. People over look a lot when they don't read slow every detail.
You will need to install module-manager before you install simple seo. The site map will be generated seo friendly after you install seo.

I did that the other day and got a message that the page was not there ( 404 ) which is what prompted this post. I guess the page was just down a short while and I happened to try it at that time and assumed it was gone.

Thanks...I will read on !:D

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

I found the instructions today. Thanks.

I still have the remaining question posted in my first message that is not addressed in the instructions. Does this contribution work along side the XML Sitemap contribution to write friendly URL's to those site maps?

Google is already doing well and one good keyword search has me on page one after only a week so I am not as worried as in the past. Seems search engines are pretty smart with "non-friendly" urls these days.

Has anyone here used those contributions together and what was the resulting output in the sitemap files?

Thanks. :smile:

So I take it we don't have a fix for this? The problem has become that I can no longer empty my cache in the zencart control panel like I used to be able to do.

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Merry Christmas!

Could you please help me find the solution for a problem I'm having with this add-on.
I did not find anything in the thread.

I'm running 1.3.8.a the latest. Installed 10 days ago. So is the SSU.
The module manager was also installed as suggested.

The major issue is this:

I have a subdirectory 'cgi-bin' where some of my helpful scripts always live.
The directory and the scripts have nothing to do with ZC.
They have been working in all my ZC and other sites since 2005.

After installing the SSU, the browser can not get to them anymore. The browser can not get to anything, even static html files, in the cgi-bin directory.
The response is "page not found".
(Yes, I've been doing it for hours and checked my spelling :-(

I tried to add cgi-bin and the scripts to the exclude list - the same.

My auto-alias is set to false.

The script names are like xxxxxxx.cgi
The cgi-bin sits in the top level of the catalog (next to 'includes' and 'admin')

(I don't do any mod_rewrite other than those done by the SSU).

Do you know what's going on?
Can you help please?

Thank you in advance!

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Hi Yellow1219, I encounter the problems indicated in the below link and cannot resolve it for a long time.

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=143927

I finally find it related the simple SEO URL. After I disabled the SSU, all problem solved.

But SEO URL is critical to any website, could you tell me what to do in order to get your SEO URL return to normal?

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

i have ssu installed on zc 1.3.7 at http://deadseamarket.com

If you go to check out and enter an invalid gift certificate code the site gives you the appropriate error message.

If you enter an invalid coupon code, the site freaks out and crashes with:

Redirect Loop    

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

I noticed that the URL it is trying to reach is pretty weird looking:

https://deadseamarket.com/checkout_payment/credit_class_error_code/ot_coupon/credit_class_error/Invalid%20Coupon%20Code

Any ideas on how to fix this up? I have seen other errors like this before and was able to fix them by removing a "/" at the end of URLs in the code.

Hey Country, I've hired a programmer who turned off my cache for me. He claimed it would not make the site run slowly because my site doesn't see enough traffic to initiate that response. I'm sincerely hoping that this is the final solution to this pesky problem of my links not working due to my seo software. Please have a look at the site and let me know if the pages load at a good normal rate for you. Once I've verified that this solution works as I hope I'll post up on how to eliminate caching from this software. Thanks.

Hi Ian I think all your links work very well. Their is no slow down in them at all. I don't know what you did but it works well.
