Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

starruby:

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-(natural-untreated)-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.
Still works fine for me, these are the steps I took, correct me if I did something wrong:

1. Clear all sessions related to your site
2. Visit your hompage (now all links have zenid attached)
3. Visit a product link
4. Click add to cart
5. Get redirected to shopping cart with the product inside

Also, try this:
Turn off link alias if it is on, then see if that happens again (if it does not, at least we can narrow down the cause of the problem)

I have just tested on Safari and Opera following the above steps, still have not encountered the problem yet.

I hardly believe it can be a random problem, lets find a pattern to it. If there is a way you can reproduce the problem every time, let me know.

Hmm.. I think I now know what is causing the problem.

Try this:

1. Clear the sessions related to my store
2. Visit my homepage with the url: http://gemsoul.com instead of http://www.gemsoul.com
3. Visit a product link
4. Add to cart
5. shopping cart shows empty

So most probably this error occurs when "www" is not prefixed in the url of the site.

Any way to correct this?

The solution is pretty simple, and should be done anyway (for seo sake)
just redirect all links without www to www. You will find such htaccess commands some where in this thread or on google.

However, I will also investigate this problem to see why it is causing such weird problem.

thanks yellow, I am searching for the thread, will fix it and then update you.

You can use the code suggested here:
http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/242/Redirecting+your+site+using+a+.htaccess+file

This should fix the problem right away. It will help with seo as well, since it's not recommended to have links with both www and without www accessible.

BTW, can you pm me your configure.php (with no passwords in it), I want to confirm something

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).
Check my signature

So the 3+ platform that says (unstable) next to it is the one you are recommending when I ask for a stable platform?
Please tell me this isn't so and that I am instead clueless.

thx.

Hi, can anyone tell me how to do really simple SEO?
I recently made a website for someone and need to do some simple search engine optimization. I've been a web editor for a big radio station for a while now but I've never had to do SEO before. Basically they just need to be able to find their site in google and yahoo... There is a "submit to search engine" thing on the web hosts site too.

I've installed this mod. It is the most complicated install of any other mod I have installed. I couldn't get it to work and I have decided that I don't care to get it to work any more.

I have uninstalled all the files. (and double checked) I now have a blank website. :censored: My admin is fine.

I need help uninstalling this. I'm done and I am so mad that my site is blank and I can't figure it out.

I've uploaded my backed up site and that didn't help. I'm trying to upload my exported database in the hopes that will help but I'm having problems with with my phpMyAdmin not allowing me to upload a database of the same name.

I appreciate any help I can get.

Thank you

Shame you had problems , it is quite straightforward and if you run into problems , The mod owner helps out quite a bit too.
I would check the .htaccess file in the root of your website. ( it may be hidden on some ftp programs ) or for testing purposes you could probably remove it.

Let's solve your blank page problem first, what is your php version? Which ssu version are you using?

I was able to find out the problem! I downloaded the Debug Error Logging Utility. It was super easy - only one file.

I reviewed the log and the problem was easy enough to find. I had a file that was missing. Once I had ftp it over to my site all was good again :D

I hope this helps someone else who has had a problem removing this!

Ok, I tried to upgrade to the latest version from 2.9.5 and I'm getting this error? Any ideas?

You are missing the ajax folder. Check the package and reupload the missing folders/files

PS: dont forget this if you are upgrading to 3+

Thanks Yellow!! It uploaded some ajax files, but not others. The updates automatically went too.

Now I'm getting these errors. Does this mean I need to reset the cache? I'm getting the double "/" with my links also between the main domain and categories.

Are you using 3.4.2? You can just ignore those errors for now, they should not cause any problem. These warnings will be patched in future version, of course.

Yes, 3.4.2. These errors are occurring at the tops of my web pages though, filling up about half the page.

stretch555:

Yes, 3.4.2. These errors are occurring at the tops of my web pages though, filling up about half the page.
If you turn off the debug mode (assuming you are using 1.3.8), that should go away.

Or you can also try to get the link.php in the zip file attached here, and upload to includes/classes/ssu/cores to overwrite the current one, see if that solves the problem
