Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

that's the desired url effect but it goes to a 404 page instead of desired url, any clue
thanks

Then you have to check the url you typed in, because when you put that in the exclude box, SSU will not do anything to that anymore, but will pass that back to the default Zencart function to generate the link.

So if you put "redirect" in the SSU exclude list, and you see the new link in the form of:
index.php?main_page=redirect&action=url&goto=www.something.com

That means it is back to the default style, and SSU no longer touchs it.

Here is an example:

http://demo.rubikintegration.com/zencart/hardware-graphics-cards-c-1_4/matrox-g200-mms-p-1

And look at the product link at the bottom of the page, and see if it gives you a 404 not found when you click on it.

Back to this topic, after a bit more researching I found out the reason:
It seems like mod_rewrite doesnt like it when you have encoded Slashes in the url, so if you want to use it you need to add this line to your httpd.conf:
AllowEncodedSlashes On

Obviously, this is not really an option for most people who use shared-hosting, so just simply exclude "redirect" from being rewritten would be the easiest and fastest.

where do I put this :
AllowEncodedSlashes On

You should not go that path, just simply put the "redirect" in the exclude list, that will solve your problem

If it does not, please pm me the link to the specific product so I can see it.

Due to a problem on my server, the rev number no longer gives a good indication of the current version you are using. You should be able to check the version by going to admin\includes\module_installation\yellow1912_ssu\current_version.txt

Anyhow, I suspect you are using an old version. If you are on PHP4, I suggest upgrading to 2.9.6, if you are on php5 please upgrade to the latest version 3.4.x

the current_version.txt is only one line:

4|Beta 2

i use php 5.2.6

A very old version indeed, upgrade to 3.4.1 :). Make sure you check the upgrade note:

Download it here:
http://public.rubikintegration.com/

Then use the walk through above (delete 3 files, upload the new package....)
No need to re upload the .htaccess btw

bit worried... the last version says it's "unstable" what are the affects? what COULD happen?

If you are worried, you can use 2.9.6.

The fact that I recommend 3.4.1 means that it's good enough, but if you want a really stable one then go for 2.9.6

great. thanks. i shout if i need more of your time... :):clap:

What does error SSU_LINK_ALIAS duplicate entry indicate , it sounds like it's two of something but in the error message I see a make link alias true but on doing so nothing happens?

It means that somehow you have certain sql patches run more than once, can you copy the exact error, and where you get it, how you get it?
