Salvo Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hi Jack, I am doing all of this on my computer (test site) before uploading. How can I check if I have the mod_rewrite enabled? Thanks My PC Server Host: (192.168.0.10) Database Host: localhost (127.0.0.1) Server OS: Database: MySQL 4.0.15-max-debug Server Date: 10/18/2005 23:12:34 Datebase Date: 10/18/2005 23:12:33 Server Up Time: HTTP Server: Apache/1.3.27 (Win32) PHP/4.3.3 PHP Version: 4.3.3 (Zend: 1.3.0) Hi all, I am sorry if I keep asking, but I think that my request for help is being overlooked by other requests. I am stuck and I can't do anything else other than uninstall the contribution if it doesn't work, but I see that it does work for everybody else so I would like to see what is the problem with my installation. I thank you in advance for any help, assistance etc... Salvo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FixItPete Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I have a question about this contribution. I hope I explain it properly. :) Will this contrinution make it so I can NOT have to force cookies, but where search engines will NOT get the osCsid=variable? Thanks, Pete Quote I find the fun in everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwebb4143 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Installed the script. All the links work fine with the proper html endings. But there is a problem when I go to checkout, a cookie usage warning saying that the browser is not accepting cookies (which it is) gets returned. I set Configuration>Sessions>Force Cookie Use to true. When I set this to false, the checkout/login works. I am currently using a shared SSL ceritificate. Any suggestions?

josh1r Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Hi. I was wondering if anyone has been able to get this contribution to work on an existing store, or if it only, 100% of the time, works on a fresh site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FixItPete Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I have a heavily modded store and I did the contrib. No problems at all. Follow Chemo's step-by-step and it is very easy. :) Quote I find the fun in everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Just did the upgrade from SEO URLs 2.0 to 2.1 Everything works fine so far. But: I used to embed a html-file into checkout_success.php. The call looks like this and worked perfect: <td><?php require_once tep_href_link(FILENAME_ORDERS_PRINTABLE3, 'oID=' . $last_order); ?></td> FILENAME_ORDERS_PRINTABLE3 did show a summary of the last order. Now this call gets redirected to login.php ... What do I have to change? Thank you. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I think I had this problem - turned out I had forgotten to change the admin/includes/functions/general.phppage as per the installation instructions. Doh I edited the includes/functions/general.php instead of the admin/includes/functions/general.php :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebman21 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I tried to install this and it didnt work. So I followed the instructions backward, and now I have an error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_output_string() in ****.com/httpdocs/store/includes/functions/html_output.php on line 81 I looked on line 81 in html_output.php, and it says (lines 79-114) // alt is added to the img tag even if it is null to prevent browsers from outputting // the image filename as default $image = '<img src="' . tep_output_string($src) .

' "'; } if ( (CONFIG_CALCULATE_IMAGE_SIZE == 'true') && (empty($width) || empty($height)) ) { if ($image_size = @getimagesize($src)) { if (empty($width) && tep_not_null($height)) { $ratio = $height / $image_size[1]; $width = $image_size[0] * $ratio; } elseif (tep_not_null($width) && empty($height)) { $ratio = $width / $image_size[0]; $height = $image_size[1] * $ratio; } elseif (empty($width) && empty($height)) { $width = $image_size[0]; $height = $image_size[1]; } } elseif (IMAGE_REQUIRED == 'false') { return false; } } if (tep_not_null($width) && tep_not_null($height)) { $image .= ' width="' . tep_output_string($width) .

'"'; } if (tep_not_null($parameters)) $image .= ' ' . $parameters; $image .= '>'; return $image; } The error was originally at line 35, and migrated to line 81. People have asked what happend to my store. How can I fix this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osc_fan Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Hi, I installed Ultimate SEO few months ago, it was working great, until recently I updated my database with Easy Populate.

I'm pulling my hairs... please help! Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pulling my hairs... please help! Thanks a lot! Hi, Ultimate seo urls does give this behaviour when encountering non-standard characters. You should check your db (using phpmyadmin) and see if the ep upload has added any extra characters as separators in the product names.

safoo Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Will the stock OS commerce URLs redirect to the new .html pages? Thanks, ~ Denis Yes. They will work perfectly. You don't really need the SEO URLs for froogle; I don't believe there is any advantage/disadvantage to using stock URLs on froogle as the basis for ranking is generally price.

chekov2 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I am not quite sure why, but in instructions it says:Linux based server capable of mod_rewrite how do I check that the php is mod_rewrite and it is enable? Hi Salvo, under osCommerce admin: Tools -> Server Info. Scroll down until Apache configuration infos and check which apache modules you have enabled. If Rewrite module is installed on your system, then you should see there mod_rewrite among other installed modules. Chekov Why did Chemo get banned from these forums? Seems pretty poor... Any ideas?? Hi Scott, you can read more about it from here: http://oscommerce-chemo.blogspot.com/2005/...-by-harald.html. Chekov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randelia Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Every time I disable this contrib in the admin console, it kills the store. I wouldn't be able to load any product or category pages. So, I came up with a simple fix! I just posted updated install instructions that fixes the problem. This was fixed by wrapping the original code & chemo's code in an 'if' statement. Two files must be updated: includes/application_top.php includes/functions/html_output.php This is for v2.1c You can download the updated install instructions via the Contribution Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooch Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 thanks for sorting out the de-activation issue.... i couldn't get the darn thing to work - i think that was the only flaw. your 'Custom META Tags per Item' looks splendid to me.. i will test it out soon. if it does what i think it does, thenit will be a very good addition for all store owners as it goes hand in hand with this SEO contribution Quote Upon receiving fixes and advice, too many people don't bother to post updates informing the forum of how it went. Until of course they need help again on other issues and they come running back! Why receive the information you require in good faith for free, only to then have the attitude to ignore the people who gave it to you? There's no harm in saying, 'Thanks, it worked'. On the contrary, it creates a better atmosphere. CHOOCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petsk Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Thank you very much for this contribution, it's fantastic! I'm also using the Credit Class & Gift Voucher contribution and when I did install Ultimate SEO URLs the Gift Voucher stoped working the way it should. When I enter the redeem code in the checkout process (checkout_payment.php) a message/notice have been displayed before, informing the customer if the redeem code is OK or not. The message won't show up anymore, just a read border around the message table, no text/information is being displayed in the table. :'( I did try to take a look in the code and found out that if I replace the Ultimate SEO URLs class whit the original class in includes/functions/html_output.php the redeem message shows up again. Any of you guys using both these contributions? Is there a fix or solution for this problem? Best regards, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
