Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

bigbadboy:

I've just installed SSU on a fresh install.
ZC - 1.3.8a, SSU - beta 2.1, Module manager
I've used SSU plenty of times before but not this version.

I know I have installed everything as I have been over all the files 3 times.

2 problems.

Firstly - When I access ssu.php under Extras > SSU manager I get this error:
Error Failed: 1
Error ERROR: Cannot create table module_version_tracker because it already exists
Warning Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.
Error Failed to set up version tracker table

Is this something to worry about (it's an error so yes!) and how can I remove this?

Second problem:
I'm using a fake home.html page for now until the store is ready.
When I try to access index.php I get sent back to the main URL - domain.com/index.php redirects to domain.com
I have set up index in the exclude list and DirectoryIndex in the htaccess.

Cheers.

1. solution for it was mentioned just a few posts before
2. can you explain in more details, or maybe just send me the link?

Thanks yellow.

I uninstalled as it's only at testing stage and therefore not needed right now, and then index.php went blank plus a few other problems.
Easiest for me is to simply wipe the slate clean and start again as I've only spent today working and not really got anything major that I can't change quickly.

You may want to check the htaccess, did you clean it up?

And remove inti_ssu in init includes

PS: how did you get this module back in 2007 again?

I did but there were numerous problems anyway, not related to SSU so it's just as quick to reinstall.

This was encountered by someone else, maybe I should put this in the readme:

Reset the cache and it will fix itself
I cleared all data in FF and IE7, restarted comp and same error:
http://www.example.com/ladywig/cSSU_ID_DELIMITER2 + the zenid, it takes me to my "page not found" page.
Unless you mean something else by the cache?

@ckosloff:

This simply means that you have not installed the database correctly.
Did you go to the module manger and have it finds and installs new module?

@everyone:
A new version of SSU has been uploaded and waiting for approval, It's beta 2.5
Minor bug fixes + the ability to turn it on or off.

I thought it was 12/2007 that I installed it....either way, it was this mod that I installed. is there an uninstall for it? any help would be appreciated.

This is the mod I'm talking about. Is this different than the one you're talking about?

Yes, yes, this was done right after installing SSU.

Yes it is different. It's called Ultimate SEO URL

What do you see in admin-configuration-ssu url?
Try to clean cache manually

the SSU_ID_DELIMITER you see in the link can be only caused by:

1. database not installed
2. db installed but cache not cleared

KNOWN ISSUE WITH PAYPAL IPN:
It is a known issue that SSU does not play well with paypal ipn without some tweaks:

There is a number of things needed to be checked:
1.Make sure you set uo your paypal ipn correctly:
http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/PayPal
Also, since you are using SSU, you may want to change the link site.com/index.php?main_page=checkout_process (mentioned in the article above) to site.com/checkout_process
2. First, was Paypal IPN working fine before installing SSU?
3. Make sure you use the most recent version of SSU
3. Make sure you updated all the patches for paypal ipn (especially if you are on version prior to 1.3.8)
5. Check if you are using CURL proxy, you may need to turn it off.
6. Check if you entered your email correctly in paypal setting (the paypal email you use in zc admin has to be exactly the same with the one you have on your paypal profile, and it is CASE SENSITIVE)
7. Check if you entered the correct PDT token, you need to copy the whole string from Paypal, sometimes the string can start with some weird characters.
8. No luck?

a. Turn on the debug log by:

1. Ensure you are using Zen Cart v1.3.7 or newer, and any published PayPal patches are installed.
2. Go to Admin->Modules->Payment ... and choose your PayPal module (either IPN or Express Checkout, Payments Pro, etc). Click Edit.
3. Choose "Log to File" for your debug option.
4. Use your FTP program to mark the /includes/modules/payment/paypal/logs folder writable (ie: chmod 777). If given a "recursive" option, select "no". If asked about altering files "and" folders, say "no".

b create a new file:
/includes/extra_datafiles/ipn_debug_on.php
with this content:

A testing version is now available for those who want to test on your local host, you can see the demo here:
http://demo.rubikintegration.com/zencart/

It addresses several issues:

1. SSU may not work properly in some cases with extension set to something other than blank.
2. SSU did not address linked products properly, for example you have 1 product belongs to 2 categories, then there should be 2 links depending on the cases.

An example:```
http://demo.rubikintegration.com/zencart/big-linked-c-22/blade-runner-director-cut-linked-p-5

http://demo.rubikintegration.com/zencart/dvd-movies-science-fiction-c-3_11/blade-runner-director-cut-linked-p-5

What do you see in admin-configuration-ssu url?
Try to clean cache manually
This is what is in there:

ID delimiter -
Name delimiter -
File extension
Set max category level 2
Exclude list advanced_search_result
Set Link Alias Status false
Set minimum word length 0
Set maximum name length 0

How do I clean cache manually?

You will find it in /cache/ssu

OK, yellow, found it, thanks, so it had nothing to do with the browser's cache.
Now, there is a lot of stuff there folders, .htaccess, index.php, etc.
What should I delete?
Please elaborate.

Oh okie, so when I said clean cache, I caused you to misunderstand it for clearing browser cache. I am so sorry.

Anyway, I assume you dont know that SSU can clean cache by going to admin-extras-ssu manager and select to clean cache?

Hey, yellow, that worked.
No, I didn't know all that, just starting to familiarize myself with this app.
Anyway will go to your site and test the new version with the on-off feature, before going live.
Great support.

So I upgraded to new version posted here, everything seems to be working fine.
Just one remark, in the upgrade instructions you say to go admin --> extras --> ssu manager, that only clears cache.
The path should be admin --> tools --> module manager to upgrade database, if I am not mistaken.

Me again, sorry for repetitive posting.
I am testing further the contrib, and did find an error.
If you go to my site you will see that all products have lots of color attributes.
It would be impossible for me to publish all colors full size, so I use a contrib called "Attribute pop-up (large images)".
Now, this doesn't work with SSU, I am positive because I get the images in the popup back when turning SSU off in Admin.
Sorry, but cannot load this contrib yet on the live site until I make sure that it won't cause any disruption.
If you would I can post a snapshot of error.
One more thing: in module manager, the contrib still shows as beta 2.5, even after updating database.
Thanks.
