Hi Robert,

Could you please help me with my problem as stated below:



EDIT: Can't seem to quote my whole previous message. The problem is that when I enable your contribution the product and category links aren't working. I tried to adjust every option in the control panel and I edited the htaccess as instructed.

"product and category links aren't working" is not descriptive enough for me to try and help.

Basically .. if the uri format is standard then .htaccess will have no effect, if the links are not loading the required page then most likely your server is set up to NOT accept path based URIs and you may need to add to .htaccess: -
AcceptPathInfo On

If however the uri format is set to rewrite, the URIs are being produced correctly but the links are not loading the correct page then the issue will be one of the following in order of likelyhood: -

  • RewriteBase is incorrectly set
  • The server is IIS and needs a module added to allow RewriteRules
  • mod_rewrite module is not compiled.

Hi Robert

Thanks for the suggestion but I have reset the cache after each change of setting.

I wasn't aware that I could separate category caching from product caching but when I add cPath to product URLs in the settings, the category path is still numeric despite the product being SEO'd.

USU5 will ALWAYS produce an SEO URI for categories just so long as the code is correct: -

1) The correct osCommerce link wrapper is used tep_href_link();
2) tep_href_link() is used correctly e.g.
tep_href_link( FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'cPath=23' );

Static caching is the only exception, e.g. if the categories html is cached then USU5 will never be called upon to build the URIs.

Upgraded to r205. Same problem.

You have made changes to the core system changing the filenames of files which are expected by USU5.

Hi All

I've installed USU5 on 2.3 having used Chemo's original on my original, recently hacked, site (as if life isn't difficult enough without these twerps :angry: ).

The product pages are working as before and my htaccess seems ok as products are like this: www.mysite.com/product-p-1234.html

My category pages, however, steadfastly refuse to play ball and are like this: www.mysite.com/catalog.php?cPath=216

index.php is renamed to catalog.php in my install and my htaccess reflects this.

I'm sure that it is a dumb mistake on my part but I'd be grateful for any pointers to stem the tears.........

Keep up the good work everyone.

Perhaps you have category caching on and have not reset the cache?

It's late and i'm tired, and i'm new ! Hopefully that's enough excuses to cover my asking such a basic and silly question .... i want to install USU5 on to my new 2.3 database (with a few add-ons just added). I can't for the life of me figure out if r205 is a complete version or whether i need to start with the 22DEC10 initial version first ? Sorry ....

but thanks,
Christine

All are complete versions.
