Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Just installed this mod, now when I add products to the cart it says my cart is empty

http://www.rothsound.com

Is there an FAQ anywhere associated with this?

It might help if zen carts search system for these forums wasn't awful and actually gave a page number for results instead of just the thread.

Anyway, thanks.

There is a doc file in this package. Anyhow, it seems like you have not set your .htaccess correctly. If you need help with that, post the content of the htaccess here

Regards

Ok, that was related to my .htaccess, but now that I've put in the new one I'm getting server errors whenever I click on a category?

Ok, it might have something to do with my php.ini file. I had to make changes to it before but can't remember exactly what I did. I'll keep playing with it.

you were 100% correct. my host default is php4 like you said.

i asked the support and they lead to me the upgrade page.

there are couple options available, can you PLEASE help me pick the right one?

here are the options

PHP5
All files with the extension .php will be handled by the PHP5 engine.
Current, most reliable and best performing version of PHP

PHP5 (Single php.ini)
Same as PHP5, but all subdirectories will use ~/public_html/php.ini

PHP5 (FastCGI)
All files with the extension .php will be handled by PHP5 FastCGI processes.
FastCGI for PHP makes all your PHP applications run through mod_fastcgi instead of mod_suphp. This eliminates the overhead of loading the PHP interpretor on every hit. Since it is always in memory ready for the next hit, the responses will be generated faster.

THANK YOU THANK YOU

The above error indicates that you have not changed the file /includes/classes/ssu/languages/default.php as instructed.
It also means that you are not running php5, you are running php4.

On many hosts, the default is set to php4 even it can support php5. There usually is a very simple process to enable php5.

I suggest recheck the above file first, then if you want to upgrade to php5 please contact your host. (Make sure you run zen 1.3.7+ if you plan to use php5)

Working now, I forgot to change my zencart install folder in the new .htacces.

So far looks great, I'll report my results.

Yellow is the man! (I'm assuming man)

I would recommend either the first one or the 3rd one. But your best bet is to let them know your requirement (like you use this for shopping cart which uses lots of database resource, your average number of visitors per day is....., you are concerned about the fastest server response possible,,....) And they should be able to recommend you the best option(since they showld know their stuffs better^_^

Hi,yellow1912

Thanks for this great add-on. I am using dreamhost's server, not sure about the php version, just gauss it's php5,which version of your add-on I should download?

I saw the download link on the first page is invalid.Thanks.:cool:

This:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=623124&postcount=781

And Im sorry for the mess, I want to organize all the versions better, but it takes very long time for the devs to update new version in the download section (since they are so busy), and my current site is under construction. And also I tend to release new versions on a regular basis to address bugs and scuh.

So please forgive the mess, I will have stuff organized way better within next month.

Regards

Ok everybody, on the subject of SEO, I suggest adding 301 redirects to avoid canonical problems (www. vs. non-www)

Add this to the bottom of the .htaccess that yellow gives you

#RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.php#
#RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ http://www.yoursite.com$1 [R=301,L]#

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com$1 [R=301,L]

And add this to the admin .htaccess

RewriteEngine off

Yellow I would suggest incorporating this into the code of your mod since it really is important to SEO.

This way any links that go to yoursite.com or yoursite.com/index.php will be redirected to https://www.yoursite.com, and you will gain more pagerank as a result.

Now you can set it up for https://www.yoursite.com to go to yoursite.com, and there are mixed views on which is better, all I know is that with ZC www. seems to work better.

Contact me with any questions.

A good suggestion, however I assume some people may have it already in place, so include them in the module may have an unexpected effect. I will have them in place, commented out, so that people can use if they want.

Thank you.

Ok, just hit my first bump in the road.

I am using Image Handler II, a very popular add-on. When I click on the extra images on the product page that would normally open a separate window with a larger version of that image, no image appears in the popup. There is documentation for a similar problem with regards to another mod in the documentation, but I can't seem to adapt it to Image Handler II. The documentation suggest swapping out a JS file, but that doesn't match the structure of how Image Handler II is set up.

Sample Racquetball Equipment Page

The interesting part is that if you click on the main image it pops up fine. I can't imagine I'm the only one running SSU with IH2?

Thanks for any input.

OMG! Old links to my products still work!!!

Can't say it enough, this mod is sweet. Yellow is amazing.

I just need to get my additional images large pop-up to work and I'll be golden. When I view the page source it says ```

I use this along with IH2 and it is working fine.
See this:

It is weird that it doesnt work for you. Can you send me a link to the specific page?

Regards

Ektelon Speedport Racquet

There is a link to a product.

I just noticed that IH2 seems to be completely broken, I can't add additional images to any products. It simply states "No Image Handler information found." below the image handler header inside of the admin.

when I access the image handler manager from the admin it has "install image handler" at the top. So I clicked on it and now it appears that I can use the IH functions again, but the pop ups don't seem to be working.

I'm guessing a complete reinstall of IH2 might do the trick since you say it should function properly.

The additional images look different when you click on them on your test site. Is that still IH2?

IH2 along with Fual Slim Box.

Anyhow, go to your admin->configuration->ssu admin
in the exclude list, add it: popup_image_additional

That should fix it for now

Works now. I'll check out that Fual Slim Box. Thank you ever so much.

You should add a link in your sig for easy donation :smile:

Should I just PM you?
