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?
Hi J-A-J-O

Sounds like the same problem I had with simple seo url Ver3.8.0. with the original zencart links showing in the status bar, I also have SitemapXML 2.1 installed and the original zencart links were listed here also. I resorted to downgrading to simple seo url version 3.5.8 as I already had 3 sites working fine with this version, as soon as I did this the sitemap and all the urls were working ok, so I'll stick with this for now.

To downgrade the simple seo url mod I found I had to first reinitialise module manager, I used this method after a few failed attempts

In Cpanel - phpMyAdmin select the Zencart database
Select and delete the Table: zen_module_version_tracker

Find the file install.sql in the module manager files directory - \ admin \ includes \ module_installation

In Zen Cart admin under Tools\Install SQL Patches run the SQL query from the install.sql file

Run this sql script to uninstall the database portion of simple seo url

SET @t4=0;
SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Simple SEO URL';
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS links_aliases;Upload simple seo url version 3-5-8 mod files to server

Module Manager should now see and install seo url version 3-5-8

Hope this helps
John

Thanks for advice, but ssu 3.8.1 gives me all nice links, without categories id's or products id's, earlier versions was not.

I gave my ftp details to Raine from rubikintegration team, he says that he will see for resolution.

Soonest I will know what was wrong I will post on the forum

Hi J-A-J-O
Yes the better SEO links in ssu 3.8.1 are what I need to, as I have the same problem with the sitemap urls I look forward to finding the solution
Thanks
John

Any chance the rel="canonical" tag is going to get implemented in this module? Would be a huge benefit IMO.

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.

I am still getting this problem. I cannot set the permissions as apache is creating these files and not let me modify them.

Any help is appreciated

Hi all i cannot clear my cache . Has anyone else got the same problem ????

When i try and clear any of the caches i get a massive list of this

Warning Could not open dir /var/www/vhosts/fishingtackleoxford.co.uk/httpdocs/cache/ssu//aliases/9/b/9

Can anyone help

Go to your sever control panel/ file manager and delete your cache from their. I have to do this from time to time.

I'm getting a redirect error in Firefox... you know, the infamous:
"Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

This only occurs (that I've notice so far anyways) when you search for a product on site, and then try adding it to the cart. With that said, it only occurs when you search for a string with a space in it.

So if you searched "foo", and added an item from the results to the cart, you would be fine. But if you searched "foo bar" and tried adding one of the results to cart, you would get the redirect error. This is because of the "+" in "&keyword=foo+bar" within the array generated inside the URL.

So, I know what it is, I just don't know how to fix it :unsure: I think it has either something to do with mod_rewrite in my htaccess or SSU settings. Everything else as far as SSU is working great.

Here is the contents of my htaccess file:

BOF SSU

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

Make sure to change "zencart" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase /

RewriteBase /store

Deny access from .htaccess

RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]

Anyone know what's going on here?

[QUOTE=litepockets;846893]I'm getting a redirect error in Firefox... you know, the infamous:
"Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

I have Just had this problem.

I took a lucky guess and added

advanced_search,

to Exclude list:

It worked!:clap:

:no: I wish that did the trick. I was so excited, I was like.. WOOHOO! But nope. I've spent probably two hours on this. Lol.

is there any way to escape the + in the htaccess?

another question that may be a better solution altogether. I don't recall the array being present in the URL in the past. Seems like it was just domain.com/store/shopping_cart.

What's the purpose of this array??

OK, got it... found these two posts when I searched "exclude" as I figured I was either missing something I should exclude or vice versa.

Hi can some please help as i have a problem with my cart. I cannot remove products from the shopping cart. Has anyone else had the same problem ???

Many Thanks

#4196

Sorry i just found it. I didnt look hard enough . Lazy me.

Re: Simple SEO URL [support thread]

Ah, you meant remove to cart. Yes, the quickest way to fix this is to go to the admin config of ssu and put shopping_cart in the page exclude list.

This fixed it :)

Hi J.A.J.O.
Got a prompt reply from Raine at RubikIntegration regarding non seo urls in sitemap when using SitemapXML and the Simple SEO URL's mod. The problem is now fixed by downloading the latest SSU package (version 3.8.3) from the site, upgrade and then make sure to CLEAR the browser session's cache before trying. Also please clear the sitemap xml files and it should the work correctly.

John

Have a question...

If URL formatting is changed, such as in the case of the post above this one, will the new site map take care of past links? Meaning, sites already listed, will they be lost? Or will they at least redirect correctly if a customer uses the old URLs that might be listed on search engines?

Upgraded to 3.8.3 from 2.9 and everything went fine. Aliases working fine but can't get the manufacturer to show in the link.

I set "local.config.php" as below:

-----------------------------```

Hi I have searched faq's and threads etc.. but no luck yet. I am using zc 1.3.8.a with php 5.2.9 I installed latest version of SSU which is ok but some of my ezy pages dont work! Is there a way to exclude them. Thanx in advance.

Hey Everyone-

I've tried searching for this particular issue, but am having no luck.
Basically, on my local dev server, everything works perfectly as far as SSU goes.

I have the exact same settings locally as I do on my staging server, but the staging server isn't returning the proper aliases on the zen_href_link call.

So, for example, it displays URLs like this on the site:
/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1

When that url is hit, it 301 redirects to the correct alias:
/category-alias/product-alias

Any ideas on why my staging server isn't returning the aliases from zen_href_link?

The staging server has PHP 5.3.1, which is really the only difference.

Thanks in advance!

Ignore my post above, somehow I didn't have the proper html_output.php file up on my staging server. I put up the one with the updated SSU code and it works perfectly.

Cheers but i have tried this numerous times. the problem is when i create the cache folders i can chmod them. But then when the ssu mod writes the files it is done on the server by user: APACHE which means i cannot chmod them so when i clear the cache it will not let me and i have a lot of inactive urls that google is indexing.

Can anyone help ?????

Also i have just upgraded to version 3.8.3 and encountered some weird files in that ssu mod. Can anyone tell me what this is all about ???
