Were is the installation instructions for this?

Were is the installation instructions for this?

Normally, they would be in the docs folder, but it looks like the ZIP doesn't contain all files again. Download an older version and try using those instructions in the meantime. You may also want to use a compare program like WinMerge to see if other files are missing.

Most importantly, let the developer know as instructed by the developer's last post in this topic. See my previous post.

**I am getting the following errors and can not find detailed installation documentation. I am running version 1.3.8. **
Warning: require_once(includes/classes/module_installer.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/creativ7/public_html/admin/ssu.php on line 10

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/classes/module_installer.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/creativ7/public_html/admin/ssu.php on line 10

peteboy:

oops, I was looking at the wrong file, your right line 13 does require ri_template.php

ri_template.php seems to be present on my installation (module manager, and easypopulate are only other modules installed in zencart).

I am not sure what version of module manager i have installed.....

I think I will go back and try reinstalling once i find what version of module manager i have.

So after failing with clean installs of Module Manager v16 and v17, I went back and slammed 17 on top of 16, overwriting all common files, but leaving the 16 files that were missing from my 17 zip file (e.g. ri_template.php). Everything seems to be working now. I may have broken something else, but for now, I'm moving on.

Well, what is the answer? That does way more good than holding it hostage. :) Because somebody just might experience the same trouble as you did.

I got SEO simple url loaded and set the admin parameters but when i set the status to On I get the following error when loading a page: Because it does not give me more information i'm not sure what I need to look at fixing. Anyone have any ideas?

Good point!!! I hadn't downloaded the Zen Cart Module Manager yet. I'm still getting errors when I go to admin-extras-simple SEO and I still have not been able to get the module to function though. I'm not sure why.

Hi all,

I installed this mod back in Oct 2009, to be honest with you, my page positions have dropped on Google and on yahoo I’m not even in the top 10 (before this mod yahoo had the site list on page 1).

This has got me thinking, why bother with this mod at all?, if having the product name in the url did make a difference to search engine rankings, then the Dr Byte and the team would created Zen cart to do what this mod is doing.

Therefore what I have decided to do is include matatag for each cat and to be careful not to use to many of the same keywords.

regards

Steve

Hi - this is a great SEO mod. I installed it and love it, it is much better than the other ones I've tried. The best part is the open source aspect of it, and the code is well organized.

I am a programmer, and am trying to make sure that HTTPS traffic for products will get redirected to the regular non-HTTP link. The reason for this is that search engines are indexing both my HTTP and HTTPS pages, and probably giving me duplicate content penalties.

I've searched online, looked through the forums, and spent quite a bit of time going through the code with no luck so far.

Is there an easy way to do this? I want to keep HTTPS for the checkout and "my account" areas, and want to use a 301 redirect to HTTP for everything else.

If I can't do this, at least is there a good way to just have a 301 redirect for the product + category pages?

Thanks for your help.

HTTP and HTTPS pages ... duplicate content penalties.

This doesn't answer your question but from what I understood reading Google Webmaster Central's post on Demystifying the "duplicate content penalty" and its many links, Google tries to determine that this (and many other similar examples) is not duplicate content or at least should not penalize a site for it. But you can ensure that it doesn't via site map by submitting preferred URLs. See Canonicalization.

I want to remove the /category-c-1_2/ portion from the url, and I am having a tough time locating how SSU builds the URLs.

apj_apj, did you run across the URL build function when looking at the files for http/https?

With USU, I didn't have to worry, IIRC (or maybe it was an easy hack). The advantages are that any product in more than one category shows up on all other pages using the same URL and it is so much cleaner.

If you have not already, make sure you have Set Link Alias Status to true in admin/configuration/seo and Set Auto Alias Status to true. Clear your cache and that should take care of the c-1_2/ portion from the url.

Okay, good to know. However, I take it from your wording that these steps will not remove category keywords. Is that correct?

It will look something like this for categories http://www.your.com/christmas-decor-sale
I'm giving you example of what it looks for mine.

Thanks, cc, but what I am trying to do with my product URLs is get from:

my.com/category-keywords-c-1-4/product-widget-black-p-2340.html

to:

my.com/product-widget-black-p-2340.html

Will aliasing removing the category keywords and codes?

Hi guys,

i followed instructions and now all my (nicley re-written) links direct users to the root.

Using IIS6 and isapi rewrite 3. .htaccess is working but every link now redirects to the homepage. Please see attachement for ssu check results.

how do i trouble shoot it?

I am using the latest module manager and (18 i think) and ssu

any help will be appreciated!

I'm having a problem with EZ Pages when I try to save the page I created I receive a page not found error!

Also If I access the internal link directly it works fine but when the URL has zenid= ... added to it, the error appears again!

Page Not Found
Page Not Found

The page you are trying to access has been moved or it is deleted ...

but if everything from zenid= is removed it works again ...
may be a configuration parameter I am missing?

sorry here is the attachment

i had another thought. where am i meant to put the htacess file?

in the store root?
teststore/.htaccess

or the web server root?
/.htaccess

any thoughts? how else can I troubleshoot this hompage linking error

Go to admin/extras/Simple SEO URL manger/Alias Functions Manage Aliases and set it like you want it to look.
