Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Hi,

I have installed the files etc, and all seems fine, but now on the site, every page links to the same place. E.g. If you click on any product it just goes to main home page and you cant actually purchase anything or see the details on each product. I have followed everything to the letter!! What am i doing wrong?

countrycharm:

Try this php GET /the_exact_path_to_your/html/cron/ssu.php or ```php
GET http://yoursite.com/cron/ssu.php

Hooray!  I found the issue and other newbies such as myself may want to know.  

My file permissions in the sss.php file had to change from 777 to 644.  After that, I just ran the command :

```php
wget http://www.yoursite.com/cron/ssu.php

For some reason, the regular GET command would not work.

Thank you country, yellow, and Chuck from PGR Creations. You all rock! :clap:

check your permissions are all set correctly, however I've had the same problem in the past and I now keep a backup ssu empty folder structure so if need be I can simply delete the folders and drag some empty ones to replace them.

Is there somewhere I can use the zen cart function:

zen_get_products_manufacturers_name()

to display the manufacturers name immediately before the products name in the url/link?

Is there somewhere I can use the zen cart function:

zen_get_products_manufacturers_name()

I did manage to edit the parseParam() function in /clases/ssu/plugins/parsers/products.php to include:

```php
$man = strtolower(zen_get_products_manufacturers_name($products_id));
                $man = str_replace(" ", "-", $man);
                $temp_params[1] = $man.'-'.self::getName($products_id, $languages_id, $languages_code);
```but the auto alias function doesn't work properly then.

ANy thoughts?

Does anyone know if Yellow1912(Raine) is still supporting this module? I've traced a problem that has just popped up with our website to the Simple SEO Module and was hoping to get some advice on it.

I see that the latest version is 3.5.8, and the version we have installed is Beta 3.6.1.

Dear SP and other ZC members,

This module is kind of my personal contribution to the great ZC community. Due to my personal work life (I have recently moved to Japan and will stay here for a about 6 months), it has been really busy for me so I don't have much time to visit the Zencart forum anymore. In the mean time I won't be able to provide on-time support with non-bug problems here on the forum. (this goes for all the modules I have here).

If there is a serious bug with the module, please feel free to go to our website at rubikintegration.com and shoot me an email.

I will be back here as soon as I can.

Regards

Raine

HEy All,

I finally got a round to installing this module and i think i have done it correctly.

Just looking through whos online in the Admin area im noticing address paths like these:

/bmz_cache/zenra-videos-japan-free.html

And

/bmz_cache/little-caprice-download-pictures.html

I had a look in the bmz cache folder but these files dont exist?

What could this mean?

Help me out i tried to install simple seo url's and it didnt work, so i removed all the files and now its still giving errors when signing into admint its going to customer login
lemy.co.uk/admin
http://lemy.co.uk/index.php?main_page=login

Were you able to fix this? :unsure:

If I go to your /admin I appear to stay there but I am not actually trying to login just clicking around what is available on the login screen ...

Hello,

I just installed SSU and everything has gone quite well. I did have a question, though. I use some internal anchor tags on my site within my FAQ to direct my visitors to a specific answer, like this

https://mysite.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=6#moneyback

to go to my answer about my money back guarantee.

The problem is that SSU changes that address to

https://mysite.com/faq

and completely removes the reference to my "#moneyback" anchor.

If I use "https://mysite.com/faq#moneyback" it works, so I suppose I could re-code all my links that reference internal anchors, but I'm wondering if there is some way to get SSU to pass on the internal anchor tags, or if it can't do that, if there is some way to get it to ignore links with the "#" symbol in them.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Alex

@everyone: if you are using the module and having problem, your best bet is to upgrade it, if the upgrade doesn't solve the problem, please post here with the detailed steps to re-produce the issue.

As I posted a while back, I have been re-allocated and life is really busy for me now so I cant help you with installation issue on the forum anymore. But real bugs will always be fixed.

yellow1912:

Huhm, I dont think it will take a "link" which contains query string in it. There is a way around but that has its own drawback:

1. In the excluded query list, take out sort and filter id
2. Now your link will look like this:
   paul-smith/sort/20a/filter_id/44

Now you sure can use that for alias

Regards

yellow1912,

On this post you mentioned there was a drawback but didn't describe what the drawback is?

I am keen to be able to set aliases for my filters. Is this still the only way, if so can you explain the drawback.

Many Thanks
Phil

Hi
I've installed simple seo url Ver3.8.0. and the latest Module manager, I finally got it to install without errors after reading the instructions :). The problem I'm having is that while the urls are correctly seo'ed in the top url bar, the bottom status bar displays the original no seo urls when I mouse over the links, Please can someone help, thanks.

I had my webmaster who I no longer have install the SEO URLs on my site. If I add new products or change titles, should I reset SEO URL CACHE ?

If you change your categories/products names, or titles you will need to reset the cache to force SSU reload and update the names.

Just an update, I left my pc on overnight with a page from my site open in the browser. When I moved the mouse over the links they displayed on the status bar all correctly seo'd, but when I clicked on a link to another page on the site all the links on the status bar were now non seo links, I'm not sure why this is happening. I have three other sites running simple seo url version 3-5-8 with no problems so I may have to go back to using that version.

Hi

I had an issue both on 3.7.5 and 3.8.2 versions os SSU, I can't generate correct version of product sitemap, it contain original zencart links, no nice SEO url, google is not indexing them. I have Zencart 1.3.8 with SitemapXML 2.1 installed.

Could some one help me?
