Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

i installed the newest version. i LOVE the part that you can turn it on and off right in the admin. at the moment, i was forced to turn it off.
Problem: when on, ALL pages direct to the index page. The adress bar changes to the correct paroduct page; yet; the page displayed it ALWAYS the index page

Hi yellow,
Since I installed SSU, I am facing a problem. When on any product page, "Add to Cart" button is clicked, it takes me to the main page without adding the product to the cart and a message is shown saying "Your Shopping Cart is empty.". What is strange is that the shopping cart works perfectly sometimes but other times no products are added to the cart.

Store url: https://www.gemsoul.com

Any idea to the root of this problem?

Thanks,
Harshil

Your server is not php5, it is php4, you have 2 options:

1. upgrade to php5(on many servers, this is as simple as turning a switch)
2. if you are using 2.9.6 or 2.9.7, they are php4 compatible, but several changes must be made (renaming several files), let me dig up the instruction, must be somewhere.

Where do I find if I have the mod_rewrite file added to my hosting company's Apache server? Where would it usually be located within my FTP site?

You usually can not find it with ftp, try this test:

Or just contact your host.

Hi Alan

Could you confirm; is Ultimate SEO working okay with EZ-PAGES ?

For example;

"index.php?main_page=page&id=2" are changing to "page.html?id=2" but is it possible for these to change to the EZ-Page names.

Much appreciated as always.
This is not the USU support thread. Maybe you want to check it in the appropriate thread?

cool, thanks. Think I'd best contact my webhosting company - don't think they'd be too impressed if I brought down their web server....:oops:

Got the instructions now: (assuming you are using 2.9.x)

In the original unzipped package, go to includes/classes/ssu/languages and includes/init_includes/

Rename all files that have the extension .php to .php5, all files that have extension .php4 to .php

Upload those.

Regards.

Hi Yellow,
I was just getting ready to download your SSEO and noticed that all the downloads are Beta. I'm using ZC 1.3.8 and was hoping for something stable. Which download version is the most stable?

Thanks!

Well, when I disable SSU, then this problem does not occur. So it's confirmed that SSU is causing this problem. Is anyone else facing the same problem?

Yellow, your help would be appreciated!

I have just checked your site, and it added to cart just fine.
Can you send me the specific page url where you get the problem?

Google Mail is in beta. Many softwares are in beta, it's just a name, dont pay much attention to it.

If you are on php5, 3+ is recommended. I have been using it on my store with no problem at all.(paypal ipn + linkpoint)

Hi Yellow,

Thank you for this info! I'll download & install tonight.
Thank you too (avoiding the Palin ALSO) for the additional payment info.
I see you are not using PayPal IPN. Is this by choice or is there a problem with Eparess?

Many thanks!

:oops:
2.9.6 is the latest on the ZC downloads page. Where is 3+?

Sorry if it's a stupid ?

Thx!

Was just going to ask the same question. I saw something about ssu_check.php & since it's not in the file I had, it took FOREVER to find it reading through this whole forum.

I also can't get ajax image swapper to work, although I have an older version of it (1.2).

Well actually as I said, sometimes it works fine and sometimes it does not. I just checked in firefox and am getting the same error again.

Try to monitor the behavior, take note of the pattern

Does it happen to only some specific products (with specific name pattern, or in some specific categories)
Does it happen to product with attributes only?

There must be some pattern to it, we have to get that pattern to fully understand the root of the problem (and fix it)

PS: I have been to your site on both ie6,7 and ff3, havent been able to encounter that error yet.

Hi,
I have been trying to monitor the behavior but can't see any pattern. Right now, on my laptop, the site works fine in IE7, IE8 & Opera but not on Firefox 3.0.4 & Chrome.

It doesnt happen with one or two products but with all the products in all categories

However, if I disable and re-enable SSU, then it will work fine for some time.

I will keep checking and update you if I notice something specific.

Well yellow, i just noticed that when I enter the product url directly in the address bar, say:

http://www.gemsoul.com/star-ruby/1-02-carat-rare-burmese-star-ruby-%28natural-untreated%29-p-37

and then add it to cart, it works fine.

However, when from the main page, I click on the product, after the url there is a suffix of zenid (example: ?zenid=727268057a2a96585f5e3316c4e37501). Now with this suffix, when the product is added to cart, it shows the message that shopping cart is empty.
