Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

I'm almost done with the migration from the dreaded miva to zencart shopping cart. I need to 301 redirect from the miva seo url http://www.mydomain.com/page/XY/CTGY/MyCategory to SSU http://www.mydomain.com/MyNewCategory. I tried ```
.
.
.
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA]

EOF SSU

RewriteRule ^/page/XY/CTGY/MyCategory/$ /MyNewCategory [R=301,L]

and many other versions of the RewriteRule with my limited knowledge of regex, without success.

Since the original and new url do not pattern match well, I may need to create an rule for every category and product.

What am I missing in my rule or regex? Thanks.

Try to puts your rewriterule right below the rewrite base and see if it works
RewriteRule ^page/XY/CTGY/(.*)$ CTGY/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
(Assuming CTGY is your zencart folder?)

Here is the he.php that should work for your version. However, I tested it on your site and it doesnt seem to replace the hebrew letters by english letters. You will have to ask xordox to look at your site and see if some letter is missing from the translit table.
Im not familiar with hebrew, so I really dont know which letter is which.

today I'll fly to Tel-Aviv. can help with hebrew in next 2 days.
btw Yellow, do you remember for 2.9.6. ru.php (and also he.php) have another structure of file that for 3.x.x?

Thanks Yellow for the response. I did as you said, but my url keeps going to the "default" index page as if it is not touching .htaccess rewrite rule.

Worse now, since last night I've been getting a 500 internal server error on the admin/index.php. I reverted back to the original .htaccess, but the error persists. I cleared the browser cache, cache and sessions stored in the database, verify file and directory permission...still not working.

The server error logs inaccessible, since I'm on a share at godaddy,.

Any more help?

Thanks

If you are on GoDaddy, please note that changes to .htaccess takes several hours to be in effect _

Yes, which is why I made changes to the he.php xordox

To all:
I'm spending most of my time now to develop an Ajax one page checkout for Zen, so my support here will be a little slow (probably your question will be answered within 24 hours)

Thanks for your understanding.

I installed this mod but nothing has changed. Is there a way for someone to see what I did wrong? Also, what am I looking for? Will this mod let me create the url ending or will it just grab it from what ever the page title is?

Thanks a bunch
:D

You installed a mod but don't know why?

:blink:

Take a look at the insall files that came with it and make sure you've actually turned the mod on (via admin).

Only in 3+, you will have to use link alias to specify the name you want to use in place of the page title.

This is what she gets in her admin panel when accessing the SEO mod.

Doesnt seem to be SSU function at all. Are you sure it is not some other module?

Hi Yellow!
1.when we test it? :) if it will be one page checkout (you will use FEC of numix or you will write your own) it include google checkout?
2. what about future of SSU 3.x.x ? do you have roadmap? :):smile:

I(we) will write my own. I will actually reuse most of Zen core codes, so it should natively support anything that Zen supports.
I have no roadmap for it yet, I'm talking to some potential sponsors as this project will probably require much time and resources.
The project will probably be an open source commercial module (this is up to the sponsors to decide), much like EasyPopulate, with the free versions (old versions) being released to the public a few months later than official release. Again, there is discussion going on, and Im not 100% sure.

Regarding SSU, I will probably make 3.3.5 an official stable release if no bug is reported, then we will try to have an installer to make the whole installation process much easier in the next release. After that, probably we will try to make creating category/product name aliases an automatic process.

You may want to check your configure.php

http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zencart/modules/ssu/installation

Dont forget the clear ssu cache after you fix the problem

I still get the extra / after the domain name. Triple checked the configure.php and clearing cashe. Any thoughts.

php version = 5
SSU version = beta 3.3.5

PS: Great work on the aliases! Love it! I'll monitor performance while adding about 100 aliases

I will double check that version on my test site again and let you know

Unzip, upload this file to includes/classes/ssu/cores
Then go to admin and clear cache.

Let me know if this solves the problem.

I will also look forward to the performance report when you use 100+ aliases.

Thanks Raine,

The link.php did the trick. I'll keep you posted on the aliases performance.

Just want to confirm - I experienced same problem with an extra "/" and new link.php fixed that.

ssu ver.3.3.5
php ver.5.2.5
