Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Thank you for pointing out the fix on that one ^_^

Alex Clarke:

When installing SSU, MySQL threw the following error.

I'm running MySQL 5.0 in strict mode.

Replacing the following code in admin\includes\module_installation\yellow1912_ssu\db\0.sql fixed this.

INSERT INTO configuration_group VALUES ('', 'Simple SEO URL', 'Set SSU Options', '1', '1');

>  
> ```
INSERT INTO configuration_group VALUES (NULL, 'Simple SEO URL', 'Set SSU Options', '1', '1');

No problem.

I've installed SSU now, but have run into one slight problem.

While the URLs are correctly being generated, they are linking to the homepage.

For example, I click on http://localhost/simple_seo_url/hardware-c-1 and the address bar changes, but the page content is still showing me the homepage.

Do you know of a solution?

I'll start reading back through this thread to see if anyone else had a similar issue.

Also, do you know if it's possible to display a trailing slash at the end of the URL?

Both of your problems have been asked and solved.

As for the first problem, check htaccess, if you have a link to the test site pm me.

I found the trailing slash solution. However, the code appears to have changed with one of the latest releases.

The solution posted here (http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=614940&postcount=671) didn't work.

Instead, I edited the same file and pasted the following code...

$link .= "/";

Below this code...

$link .= $page.(!empty($page) ? '/' : '').$parameters;

Hopefully this will help someone else out.

I installed this and at one point it was working fine. I just updated to the latest version. When I pulled up my website, all I saw was a blank screen.

I have the Debug mod installed and got this message:

Call to a member function ssu_link() on a non-object in /home1/ssosso/public_html/test/includes/functions/html_output.php on line 21

I think the update/install was not installed correctly. Yes I have the google module installed. And tried to "update" the current version of SSU, and cleared my cache without any luck.

Any suggestions ..... Maybe uninstalling everything and trying again? ...

Which version is it?

(Which link you download it from?)

hey yellow. I've installed this on 2 different sites and now I get a redirect loop on one of them and not the other. I have configured them the same and am baffled.

I don't think it's related to my 301 redirects since I have had them functioning properly for a while and I took them out and still had the same problem.

Redirect Loop on Admin Page

I'm not sure how to go about troubleshooting this since I have made sure that the .htaccess and configure files for both servers have the same (adjusted) information, but one works and the other doesn't. What other files could be causing this redirect loop?

Thanks.

This module does not touch admin redirection nor admin links. So you may have uploaded the files to the wrong locations?

Very possible. Post your site address and your htaccess file here.

Ok i've restart the installation and found my previous problem (php 4 only!). Now it is ok (php5)
Still some trouble.
a) The "reset all cache" and "reset only category cache" option seems to work (no error messages)

b) The "reset only product cache" and "reset only manufacturer" answer is "cache/ssu" not writable and can not be opened. i've checked both and the both folder has 777.

c) The "reset only page cache " gives me an error :
Fatal error: Call to undefined method ssu_manager::reset_pages_cache_folder() in www/xxxxx/ssu.php on line 38

For b), i suspect a bad .htaccess . i have some difficulties to understand where i should put this file (root of my web site, or just on the upper directory). i've tried both and same pb.
Also, as my ZC is directly accessible (i.e not additional folder), i've tried with only / in the path. But so far, :no:

Any idea for b) and c) ??

No, I suspect you havent uploaded all the files when you re-install the package.

Also, in your cases, use / in htaccess.

Regards

Hi yellow, was just about to go live on my store and doing final testing , i found that if I try to pay with a Credit card using the ProtX mod , and the credit card is declined .... ! So hopefully a rare occurance... but you usually get returned to the checkout page with an error of card being declined etc .....

Instead when SSu is enabled it returns to home page... The URL it trys to process when card declined is :

https://www.mydomain.co.uk/index.php?main_page=checkout_payment&payment_error=protx_direct&error=|lt%3B|h3+class%3D%22ErrorInfo%22|gt%3B|Your+card+could+not+be+authorised!+Please+correct+any+details+below+and+try+again%2C+try+another+card+or+|lt%3B|a+href%3D%22index.php%3Fmain_page%3Dcontact_us%22|gt%3B|contact+us|lt%3B|%2Fa|gt%3B|+for+further+assistance.|lt%3B|%2Fh3|gt%3B||lt%3B|p+class%3D%22ExtraErrorInfo%22|gt%3B|(2000+%3A+The+Authorisation+was+Declined+by+the+bank.)|lt%3B|%2Fp|gt%3B|&zenid=d4**********f14caee3931a916c8137

Could there be a way to stop SSU on the whole checkout process ? do I just need to add them all to my exclude list ?

Its a bit of a monster URL !

any help appreciated :-)

yes, add to the exclude list and you are fine.> crazycucumber:

Thanks.

I'm still having this redirect problem, I have doublechecked that everything is uploaded into the proper locations. You say that SSU doesn't touch redirects, but what could possibly be causing this? What could I have possibly accidentally done to cause this to happen?

I'm sure it's not SSU's fault, since it works on one of my sites, but I did something while installing SSU to cause this and I'm not knowledgeable enough about ZC's inner workings to know where to look.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

The file includes/init_includes/init_ssu.php is responsible for redirecting. And it should be in the includes folder in the front end only. If you happens to have it in the admin, funny thing may happen.

Other than than, I really dont know. You will need to check the server error log, see if it says anything about this

The reason is that new version is using php5 functions, which your host does not seem to support now, I have posted a solution here:

Hi yellow I upgraded to PHP5 and SEO is working perfect on my site. No problems I can see right now. I can say one thing about upgrading to PHP5 if you have not already done so. My site seems to load a lot faster. This is very good news to me. I just wanted to say thank you yellow for all your hard work on this Module.

Had the same problem. I created this file from the troubleshooting.txt "php5.ini" or "php.ini" depending on which version of php you are using. Had the same redirect problem.
Deleted the file and all is working fine again. However never did get SSU to work right for me

Hope that helps you.

BTW that file should be in your store root

Why do you have to use that troubleshooting method, which doesnt have anything to do with the redirect problem? :)

I could not get this mod to work so I gave that a try. Once I did I got the same redirect error. Deleted that file and the redirect error went away. Just thought he/she may have done the same.

As far as not working. Everything works fine until I go to a product page then I get a blank screen. All other pages in the store work fine. ie catgories,new products,about us etc
