@tacoma:

This file will fix your problem (please clear cache after uploading the file)
(upload t0 \includes\classes\ssu\plugins\parsers)
The next time, when you report a problem like this, please make sure you include a link for me to check, otherwise I wont know what went wrong.

SSU 3.3.8 uploaded to include this fix.

Thanks, and sorry for not giving a link.

I uploaded the pages.php file to the directory above.

When I turn on SSU, I lose the entire site, except for the header image and background.

Get the specific file from 3.3.8 package and you will be fine. Seem like the file I posted earlier has typo inside, and now I cant remove that file due to the 7mins limit on the forum.

Roope:

Basicly all thumbnail image pop-up links are dead, for exaple take a look at this page: http://www.automodels.fi/ford-c-3/ford-anglia-105e-sportsmen-1962%2C-valkoinen-p-324

image link is generated to: http://www.automodels.fi/popup_image_additional/pID/324/products_image_large_additional/images/FordAnglia105E_Ixo1a.jpg

when it shoud be: http://www.automodels.fi/images/FordAnglia105E_Ixo1a.jpg

And another thing I found was that when I generate sitemap for google, all links are duplicated with ?zenid=d835a6bc84bc1748e9d318a12c015709 tag adition. What's this?

The easiest fix for the pop-up image is to put this in your ssu admin config exclude pages setting:
popup_image_additional

This will be addressed in the next version, but basically zencart store the encoded image path in the database, and when it is printed out SSU doesnt understand it. A better fix for this will be applied in 3.3.9

The zenid error was mentioned before, I believe, let me see if I can find it.

@Roope Which google sitemap module are you using, and which version?

Got the file from the 3.3.8 build and it works great.

Thanks!

Thanks alot for the popup_image_additional fix! Works like charm :yes:

None. I used this online generator: http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/
This same zenid crap also apperad one time on browser with clean cache from automodel page. I came from work and checked this page at home computer when I noticed that all hovered menu links contained this addition. I clicked some page open and it displayed correctly (with addition). After first page load links came back to normal and stayed that way even if I cleared all browser cache. Really weird.

You should use one of those modules in the add-on (http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=544)

But get back to the topic, there are some ZC settings you should check as well:

ADMIN>>>CONFIGURATION>>>SESSIONS...Prevent Spider Sessions (set to TRUE).
Also, Recreate Session should always be set to true.

Both checked and set to true already before.

I know I need sitemap plugin but I just tested url structure with online tool (it was actually the one from auditmypc.com, not the one I linked before)

The thing is: if you use an external sitemap, when it reads the links it may get the zenid in there. This is normal, expected to happen.

But you dont want to have zenid in your sitemap, zenid should only appear when "real" visitor visits your site, and that should appear like this:
If they have not visited your site for a while (in the last 24 mins), on the first page load all links displayed will have zenid attached
When they click on any of those links, on the second page load none of the links should have zenid attached.

I found out that I have some extra characters in the .htaccess file in some 3+version, this will cause the "internal server error" some of you might have experienced (if you have not, then you are safe)

Open the .htaccess and you will see at the very beginning of the file 2 extra characters "hu", delete those, ver 3.3.9 is uploaded to address this problem.

I installed SSU as per instructions shown here:

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

I have also turned "On" SSU in admin > config > SSU

However, the urls remain unchanged.

I ran the ssu_check.php file and it shows the following:

Warning Checking includes/configure.php

What am I missing?

Well whichever link I click on my site, it shows up the following error:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Pls help!!

Well, in the .htaccess file I changed:

Make sure to change "test_site" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase /

RewriteBase /zencart/

to

It solved the Server Error but still the links show the old urls and not the new seo urls.

SSU has a switch needed to be turned on in admin, which is off by default (for a good reason)
Go to configuration->ssu settings to turn it on

For more info, here is the installation note:

I installed ssu after reading the installation note... I have already turned it on. The problem is that when you click on the links of categories / products, they redirect to the renamed urls but the links on all pages still show the old urls.

This happens when you hardcode your urls. You have to use the function zen_href_link to build the links.

A link to the sample page will also help me to understand what you mean.

http://www.gemsoul.com

For example, when you hover over any link (say "Ruby" under the Categories sidebox), the link is http://www.gemsoul.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=37

but when you click on that link, it redirects to http://www.gemsoul.com/ruby-c-37

I am unable to understand how to change the link to http://www.gemsoul.com/ruby-c-37

I hope I am not confusing you !!

I suspect you have not edited/overwrriten the html_output.php as instructed.

Oops.. my bad! that solved the problem. Sorry for the trouble. This url alias thing is absolutely fantastic! :smile:

Hi Yellow I have a question for you. I'm trying to redirect my site to a non-www site like http://thegoodshepherdstore.com
I'm still using simple seo 2.8
mprough has been trying to help me out but when I did what she said now I have messed up the URLS. Would you be so kind to look at my site to see whats going on. This is what my htaccess looks like after she had me add some code. First she had me add this code to the admin htaccess

RewriteEngine off
This is what my root htaccess Looks like

BOF SSU

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.thegoodshepherdstore.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://thegoodshepherdstore.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.index.php?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.)index.php?$ http://thegoodshepherdstore.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Make sure to change "test_site" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase /

RewriteBase /

Deny access from .htaccess

RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]

EOF SSU

Now when you go to a product you see this for example
