Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Batink:

Well I'm completely stumped. I have a site running Zen Cart 1.3.8a on a Windows server hosted at Go Daddy. We've installed the ISAPI Rewrite module from Helicon to the server and installed SSU version 3.8.3. I've gone over the install instructions numerous times but still cannot get this mod to work. Every time I enable it and try to click on a product category I get a 404 error. The link is showing up as I would expect, but we're not getting to the pages.

My Zen Cart is installed in a folder named "catalog" and I have put that into the .htaccess file in the catalog folder. Nothing I do seems to work.

Suggestions?

Got this issue figured out. Disregard.

FYI -

I'm using SSU 3.8.4 as downloaded from EasyCommerce. I get the following error when running on a PHP 5.3.4 server:

PHP Fatal error:  Multiple access type modifiers are not allowed in includes/classes/ssu/cores/parser.php on line 17

A Google search turned up this page:

http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/Using-Late-Static-Bindings-in-PHP-53/3/

which suggests that "self::" now needs to be "static::" for getClass().

I have been unable to test as my ISP has rolled back to PHP 5.2.4.

Installed Module Manager and Simple SEO URL closely following the instructions. Seems to be working very well EXCEPT when I click on "Log in" I am taken directly to http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en. An running under PHP 5.2.13 on Zen 1.3.9e. I don't have a certificate yet, so my configure.php is using the server certificate ... looks something like the following:

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://server.abcabcabc-hosting.com');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/~mydomain/');

Before I installed SSU, it looked like this:

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://server.abcabcabc-hosting.com/~mydomain');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

Any thoughts?

Thanks ... Bowen

Yes you can, please enable additional page parsers:

Still not able to get this working.

I've also had a perpetual problem of SSU not obeying what I set the category separator as. It's currently using '-' although I have it set to use '/'

Hi,

I have SSU installed as well. However, it keeps giving 301 error in get_headers() because SSU is trying to write urls with zenid but rewrite rule keeps reloading with zenid removed. Is there anyway around this loop?

Regards,

Khuram

Hope this helps someone.

When installing SSU with Zen Cart 1.3.9 e (echo), note that the file supplied with the SSU (Beta 3.8.4) /includes/functions/html_output.php differs from the file used and supplied with Zen Cart.

The affected lines are 375 & 454

zen_sanitize_string has been added to the new html_output.php in Zen Cart 1.3.9e but does not appear in the file provided with SSU.

To Fix use winmerge or similar and copy the SSU code to the working html_output.php.

This is my first attempt with Zen Cart, and I know nothing of programming. But, I do know how to follow directions.

I got the module Simple SEO installed and working on my site. It's the first thing I did. However, I get no file extensions on my pages. Anyone know why? My links look really good. I do have alias to true and have SEO'd links like mysite.com/contact-us and mysite.com/new-category/main-keyword

For instance mysite.com/reviews and the link doesnt work. Or I created some new products and categories and the link looks like mysite.com/new-catergory/new-product but the link doesnt work.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

I just dont get it! My SSU is working GREAT. I have auto aliases on. I go t omanage them, and I can see where they are working, however, not one page, ctegory or product page works. Only the index works, I get a 500 error on all other links in the site

Sucks, cause my links are perfect looking ex. mysite.com/category/product

Any reason why everything works, but the links?

Have you tried ftping to cache and reading the myDEBUG ......log report?
Might give you a good starting point.

I also remember resetting all the caches after my 'practising' helped ;)

I've found a similar problem when clicking from a manufacturers side box if that manufacturer only has one product, depending on your main settings, in particular what you set to display a manufacturer must have at least two products or ssu falls over.

If I had a query it would be why am I still seeing for example url.com/category-name.C.2-4 in my site links when I surf but using url.com/category-name as a clickable link works and takes the visitor to url.com/category-name.C.2-4

I can see benefit to do it this way but ... is that how SSU works?

Some clearer documentation would really help but so far ... it looks like it's working.

I am having trouble on the permissions on the cache. I changed them to 777, but it still says the file is unreadable.

I checked my debug files, there are no records as to the links, only past ones where I didnt have the module installed.

It isnt just my category and product pages. It is also my contact, faq, and other single pages. No links on my site work. I have been working on this for 11 hours straight now.

Wait, you know what. I just turned SSU off and reverted to the normal links, but get this. Not even the regular nonSSU links work. So, no links work on my site.

Does that make sense?

cache/ssu/[and the multitude of sub-folders and sub folders of the sub folders and the files in those folders] need to be set to writeable.

resetting the cache worked.

If none of your links are working I would hazzard a guess that your .htaccess file is causing the issue as htaccess is acted on first.
If you have it telling browsers to look for and use to display something that is turned off that would cause a problem.

Hi. I was uploading the folders and files for Simple SEO URL to my site when I noticed that my site was not showing any more. All I can see is a white screen! I would just prefer to uninstall this mod. rather than spend a significant amount of time resolving the problem but i've never uninstalled a mod. before now. Help!

Fixing it should be simple Noodles. FTP into your /cache folder and look for the debug log files. The latest one will tell you what isn't working or put another way where ZC fails to make a connection to something it needs.

bigbadbob:

Not sure if this has been answered before but after hours of reading this support thread, I need to ask.

I am using the newest version of Simple SEO URL (listed as MOD61) when I downloaded it two days ago from the Eazy Templates site. ZC is 1.3.8a.

1. I would like to know if and how it is possible to turn off the category number after the category. Example:
   "domain.com/main-category-c-1" to show as "domain.com/main-category"

on the simple-seo-url.com page it states:
As of version 3.6.0+ SSU can remove all the identifiers and ids from links automatically. It is also capable of creating a well-structured category urls:
https://www.example.com/cars/toyota/corrola (cars and toyota are category and sub-category while corrola is the product).

That then also leads to the next question.

2. Right now when I click on a sub-category, it shows as:
   "domain.com/main-category-sub-category-c-1_13" and I want it to show as "domain.com/main-category/sub-category"

3. Then when I click on a product in that sub-category it shows as:
   "domain.com/main-category-sub-category/product" and I want that to show as "domain.com/main-category/sub-category/product" (like the example that is being shown on the SSU website.

4. Is it possible to have html show at the end of a product URL, or only on the other pages like Contact Us, etc.?

My settings in the admin SEO config page are now:

File extension html
Name delimiter -
ID delimiter -
Set max category level 2
Set Link Alias Status TRUE
Set minimum word length 0
Set maximum name length 0
Set SSU Status TRUE
Set SSU Multi Language Status FALSE
Set Auto Alias Status TRUE
Exclude list: checkout_process,additional_images,main_product_image,advanced_search,checkout_payment_address,checkout_shipping_address,fec_confirmation,shopping_cart,advanced_search_result,redirect,popup_image_additional,login,
Set Query Key's Exclude List:
zenid,gclid,number_of_uploads,number_of_downloads,action,sort,page,disp_order,filter_id,alpha_filter_id,currency

Lastly the simple-seo-url.com site says:
As of version 3+, SSU allows you to add keywords into any links you want, be it a manufacturer link, an ez-page link, a product review link, or any type of link you want. You can write your own plugin to add keywords into your links.

Can somebody shed some light on that?

Any help would be greatly apprieciated. Unfortunately there is no "real" documentation on configuring this Mod. And it really is a great Mod which has some great features that should be better explained on how to implement them.

I've been having this exact problem for weeks. No settings seem to set the urls like this. Resetting all SSU cache does not fix the problem for me.

Hi

On my website my SSU settings are

Set maximum name length 0
Set SSU Status true
Set SSU Multi Language Status false
Set Query Key's Exclude List zenid,gclid,number_of_uploads,number_of_downloads,action,sort,page,disp_order,filter_id,alpha_filter_id,currency
Set Auto Alias Status true
Hide default language identifier true
Set Category Separator /
Set minimum word length 0
Set Link Alias Status true
Exclude list advanced_search_result,redirect,popup_image_additional,download,wordpress
Set max category level 2
ID delimiter -
Name delimiter -
File extension
Cache reset time 1282811039

On the home page I have 2 links for the advanced search

one is on the top nav bar and the other one is on the right sidebox

But when I move the cursor to the URL one shows as
http://www.mysite.com/advanced_search
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search

but both redirects to the
http://www.mysite.com/advanced_search when you click

I have the similar problem with all the links in my manufactures page

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=5

But when you click it goes to the correct page
http://www.mysite.com/manufacturename

I have a banner which links to
http://www.mysite.com/shippinginfo

But the URL shows as

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?main_page=redirect&action=banner&goto=3

I also have a define page to shipping and returns which shows the URL as
http://www.mysite.com/shippinginfo

My site is not completed yet. So I'm removing / adding products, manufactures etc every time.

I tried resetting the cache, remove all the link alias and reseting the Master Categories ID

But no luck

Can someone please advise

Basicaly I think if there are 2 identical URLs on a page it only converts 1.

Can someone please help

Kind regards

SSU is not showing the Alias links for sub-categories. After spending a couple hours installing, uninstalling, changing settings, etc...I'm completely in the dark..still..

AHAH!...In 'Manage Aliases' alot of the links are set to 'Disabled.' Does anyone know why this happens?

Hello.

I'm doing a fresh install of this mod and I'm recieving a blank page after uploading files to FTP, installing the module manager and accessing ZenCart > Admin > Extras > SSU

I looked over at /cache/ debug files and this is the error I'm getting:

[07-Sep-2010 02:05:32] PHP Warning: require_once(/home/gorec/public_html/tehno-hisa.si/includes/init_includes/init_ssu.php) [<a href='function.require-once'>function.require-once</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/gorec/public_html/tehno-hisa.si/admin/includes/classes/ssu.php on line 9

and I'm clueless of what this could be .. :(

any help much apreciated :)
