Hi all

i've noticed that when I go to:

http://www.mysite.co.uk/index.php

instead of redirecting me to
http://www.mysite.co.uk/

it resolves to the homepage, but to the following url...
http://www.mysite.co.uk/index/index_php

It has casued duplication issues. I have put other measures in place to help, but would appreciate any advice as to why this might be happening?

Thanks

Phil

Apologies if this has been covered before - i've been trawling through pages of responses but no luck.

Basically I have setup aliases for various pages and they work as such in that the aliases bring up the correct pages.

However the actual alias isn't showing in the address bar in the Internet Browser. For example:

If I entered the following URL:

/digital_flyers_a5_170gsms_single.php/ (the alias)

I would get the correct page shown but the entered alias url would change to:

/digital-a5-flyers-printed-1-side-170gsm-silk-p-18546 (the url that the alias refers to)

Any help would be much appreciated

Hi, I wonder if you can help as you have in the past...

I recently installed a set of products under a new manufacturer 'label.m' and the seo url system changes the path to '/-c-0/products-name' rather than '/label.m' or whatever. I don't know if the problem is caused by the manufacturers name having a . in it but I tried without to no avail. The path is obviously wrong and there are no products displayed...

I deleted all the cache entries, reset everything and removed all the aliases which had built up, but still this manufacturer url is wrong, have you any ideas as to how I can get this working?

Jim

I should add that I have tried renaming the manufacturer to omit the '.' putting a ' ' space in its place instead but it still didnt work!!

Managed to get it working for this new manufacturer weirdly by changing the delimited for words from '-' to '.' Even though I no longer had the . in the name. Musta cached somewhere!

Cheers anyway...

Do you have this at the top of your robots.txt?
User-agent: *
Allow: /
Sitemap: http://www.your.com/sitemapindex.xml

Do you have SitemapXML (formerly "Google Sitemap") installed, if so have you updated your map. In admin/configuration/Sitemap XML under Use Existing Files have you set that to false so it will update your map each time you add products? This would be the only thing that would cause that. Once Simple Seo is installed Google will start deleting the old urls you had before you installed seo.

Hi, can I know where can I find the robots.txt? Where is it located?

No, I havent installed SitemapXML. Is it compulsory to install it so that it could work with SSU?

The robots.txt should be in the root on your sever if you have made one. SitemapXML works great with simple seo. You will have to be running the latest version of simple seo which is 3.8.3. If you are not running this version you can get it from here
The instructions can be found here. You also need to be running the latest Module Manager Rev 18
After that you can install sitemapxml and that should take care of your problems.

Hi

zen cart 1.3.8a
php 5.2.5

I installed this mod on a test site first, that is installed in a subfolder, and got it working without any problems.

I installed it on my main site and the sticking point for me is the relative url to use in the htaccess file if my cart is installed in my public_html. I tried using /public_html/ as the relative url and when I click on category links I get 404 pages. I also tried /public_html/mysite/ and /public_html/mysite.com/ and other variations. None have worked. What should I be using?

edit:

I think I may be in the wrong thread as I just realized this thread is for simple seo and I have Ultimate SEO URLs installed but maybe someone could still answer about the correct relative url I should be using

I have a question with regards to Simple SEO and disk space.

On a zencart 1.3.8a install with Simple SEO v3.8.3 I am seeing that the cache directory is huge. the ssu directory is 43.91 MB in size which is more than double the disk of the rest of the site including all images. This seems crazy to me.

Is this really what I should be expecting or do I need to dig deeper.

litepockets:

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.

#4195

#4196

This fixed it :)
Is there already a fix for it (besides exlude)?In the demo http://demo.rubikintegration.com/ssu/ it works correct.

Hi Everyone,
Please forgive me if this has been posted already but I have searched for hours with no luck.

The module I am using is the most current version and my cart is version 1.3.8 My php is 5.2

The mod works for my category and sub-category pages but when I get to my product pages I get a blank screen. No 404,nothing. I installed the error debugging utility and no error log was generated.

This is the result of my ssu_check:

Warning Checking includes/configure.php
Warning Suggested .htaccess content
Success #### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
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]

EOF SSU

Warning Checking cache write permission

I have used this mod successfully before and I would love to use it here, i think it's great! can anyone direct me to the right...direction to solve this problem?

Thanks, Amy

I am working on a test site.
http://www.ItsAllJust.com

This is a fresh install of Zen using Hostgator's CPanel Fantastico

Other than what might be lurking as part of the initial install, I only added ONE Category and TWO products

As directed in the installation guide, Module Manager was first installed and then Simple SEO

The following URL<br> http://itsalljust.com/test-c-1

Results in the "500 Internal Server Error"
Related to Simple SEO, are there any add on's known to not play nicedly (i.e., EZ Pop - either free or paid) Super Orders, etc.

As Always, thank you for any and all help.

Zen Cart 1.3.8a Patch: 1::[/b]

Database Patch Level: 1.3.8[/b]

v1.3.8 [2010-03-28 09:07:49] (Fresh Installation)

modmuse:

Oh, hey, that worked. :smile:

For anyone who needs more specifics:

I went to the end of the exclude list (admin panel/configurations/simple seo url/excluse list), placed a comma directly after the last letter of the last item on the list, and typed unsubscribe directly after the comma to add it to the list.

Thanks a bunch, countrycharm.

Thanx a lot!

Kind regards,

I have installed this module but not sure if i have done properly.

Do i need to install any sql in order to run this module? If so, then where is the sql located?

Thanks

Can anyone tell me what is the latest revision for the Simple SEO URL module? And where I can download it?

I'm using SSU version 3.5.7 now.

And I'm having blank page issues once I add a product to my cart.

And a few other areas are generating blank pages also. Even when SSU is disabled.

No it installs some table to your Database by itself the first time you use it.

Ok I did all it said and the entire stupid site is not even showing right now. Oh how I long for a mod is all you have to do is upload and files and be done

Hey... I have the newest version installed now, is there any reason why only 1 product cannot be viewed when being reached from a certain category? It sounds like a cache issue to me, but i reset all the cache directories and manually deleted the auto-alias entries as well... the link below returns a 404 error, i edited the .htaccess file to redirect it through another category as a temporary fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Every single link on my site is throwing a 404 error with SSU enabled. No wonder I have had no business. SSU has worked perfectly for me for a very long time, not sure what's going on.

I reset all cache, deleted the files, the only fix is to disable SSU. :cry:
