I found a solution that fixed the errors for my current SEO installation.

 

In /catalog/includes/application_top.php, find:

// set php_self in the local scope
 if (!isset($PHP_SELF)) $PHP_SELF = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'];

 

and insert the following code just after it

if ($PHP_SELF != $SCRIPT_NAME) {
 $PHP_SELF = $SCRIPT_NAME.$PHP_SELF;
}

 

Then save file and turn SEF on from the Administration screen. Now everything should work normally and no more "Unable to determine the page link!" errors.

 

Hope this works for anyone else that was experiencing this issue.

 

 

PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!! I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

Thank you very much!!!

Hi guys, I installed this contrib and it looked to be working great, then I edited some products and it stopped working for those products yet others still worked great, any ideas why?

 

I have tried the Ultimate SEO URLs but this gives me a critical error.

 

Any and all info/help greatly appreciated.

Hi,

First I have to say that this is a great contrib :thumbsup: .

 

I am using shared ssl and when I enable admin -> configuration -> cache -> use cache = true, I am getting an error in my online shop it is showing only T-Shirts in category list. If I disable cache the SEF url is not working. Please anybody help me to overcome this problem. Thankyou.

hi guys...

 

i have problem with accentuated category and product names...all the characters with accent changes to 'A', but it works..i found out a solution, i use this row before the character changing row...:

 

$url = iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-2", $url);

 

its good in my case, and works fine in the url bar, BUT BUT BUT when i want to open a category by clicking, it does nothing.:((

how can i solve this? where i need repair the code?

 

thx, Laszlo Dobos

Hi. If someone could help me it would be so appreciated. After installing this contribution, my popup images don't work correctly. It's not the same problem other people in this thread have been having, where you need to copy the javascript function to index.php, it's different. When "click to enlarge" is clicked, a popup window does open, but it doesn't contain the image and uses a different template than its supposed to (I'm using the Simple Template System contribution). I discovered that if I type in the address the way it would be if SEF was not installed, that it still works properly. To see this in action:

 

Doesn't Work:

http://www.peachlotus.com/catalog/popup_image.php/pID/248

 

Works Correctly:

http://www.peachlotus.com/catalog/popup_image.php?pID=248

 

So does anyone know either:

1.) How to get this to work properly with the SEF style URL? or

2.) How to prevent only the popup_image.php URLs from being converted to SEF style?

 

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, and if you respond, thanks in advance!

I had it almost working. My problem was regardless what link I clicked while browsing the product list on the index page, it would not take me to the product_info page. Nothing happens. So if by chance you do reply to this post, let me know first. Because I backed up the files and put the other files back on server.

 

Thanks.

I installed the pack correctly and just replaced column_left.php with existing, and it made the page out of wack? and i tried deleting it and adding again and its the same result does this mean my whole site now has a bug?

Just checking in on this - as it was referred to me as "A must have" contrib. Just wondering if there are a lot of problems or...?

See a few recent questions unanswered... Afraid to install if there are problems or ?

 

Thanks!

I tried to install this but I am getting the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tep_show_category() (previously declared in /home/radiorev/public_html/buydigital/includes/header.php:214) in /home/radiorev/public_html/buydigital/includes/boxes/categories.php on line 13

What in the world do you download to get this contrib working? The download page appears to have bits and pieces in each new post. Is there any way you can clean it all up so we can download one zip and get this contrib working?

[clemptor 0]

can anyone think of a reason why the SEO URL titles work correctly in all facets but with product_info? I updated to the newer SEO contrib. but would love to roll back the installation, as all the search engines have the old links.

wtf.

[dragons5 0]

ok now i got it all merged and fixed, except that the titles of products dont have the product link. It only has /// after the domain name.

 

please help me fix as this is the last thing i need to do.

[carromex 0]

I have installed this contrib and it seems to work fine, Only thing is that now my discount plus price breaks doesnt seem to appear on the products.

Is anyone else had a similar problem?

 

Where and how should this contribution be installed ? In catalog/index.php ? or under catalogue or in root ?

 

At present oscommerce isn't working off root, its coming off catalog and thats a real mess too.

 

Thanks

 

Nina
