s97446 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I updated my Contrib to version 2.1e now. Now URLs for all products named like Part1-Part2 are changed to part1part2-p-x.html (while x ist the products number ...) So - where can I change this? I want the '-' also be shown in my URLs ... Does anyone know? (I know I changed that already in my already version ... but maybe I'm too stupid to find the place now!? I don't know ...;)) Addition: I guess I edited the seo_cache.php last time: function strip($convert_me) { $strip_array = array(""","'",chr(33),chr(34),chr(35),chr(36),chr(37),chr(38),chr(39),chr(40),chr(41),chr(42),chr(43),chr(44),chr(46),chr(47),chr(58),chr(59),chr(60),chr(61),chr(62),chr(63),chr(91),chr(92),chr(93),chr(94),chr(95),chr(96),chr(123),chr(124),chr(125),chr(126) ); $strip_array2 = array(chr(45)." "); $convert_me = str_replace($strip_array, '', $convert_me); $convert_me = str_replace($strip_array2, ' ', $convert_me); $convert_me = str_replace(array(' ', ' ', '__', '--'), '-', $convert_me); $convert_me = strtolower($convert_me); return $convert_me; } But $strip_array2 = array(chr(45)." "); doesn't do anything without a space after '-' ... so this doesn't cause the problem ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjamincp Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Hello, I?ve just installed the contrib. I hope someone would help me. I?m getting a 403 Forbidden error when getting into the checkout. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cigarsplace/checkout_shipping.php on this server. You may need to create an index.html page or enable the directory browsing by creating an .htaccess file containing "Options +Indexes". ------------------------------------- Apache/1.3.34 Server at pro26.abac.com Port 443 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's installed in a shared SSL server. I've had to disable the .htaccess to make it work again but contrib. is off. Any ideas ? TIA Benjamin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra661 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hello :D I think after searching through a bunch of old posts, I have answered my own questions about this mod. It's now working perfectly on my test site, which is slated to go live soon.... But I have one question that is really burning at me here (sorry I know this is somewhat off topic).... I've seen TONS of contriibutions from Chemo (Bobby) on Oscommerce contribs section, and literally thousands of posts from Bobby in supporting his contribs. -In ALL of those, I've not found anything that should have gotten him banned from the forums. -He was such an excellent resource. Ultimate SEO URLs is just one of several great mods chemo created! Does anyone know WHY he was banned from these forums? .....Just curious.... By the way... Manica, regarding your difficulty finding $action = (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['action']) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] : ''); ....It is on line 18 of admin/categories.php in my site, so with this mod installed, the first 23 lines of code on that page look like: <?php /* $Id: categories.php,v 1.146 2003/07/11 14:40:27 hpdl Exp $ osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions http://www.oscommerce.com Copyright (c) 2003 osCommerce Released under the GNU General Public License */ require('includes/application_top.php'); require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'currencies.php'); $currencies = new currencies(); $action = (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['action']) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] : ''); // Ultimate SEO URLs v2.1 // If the action will affect the cache entries if ( eregi("(insert|update|setflag)", $action) ) include_once('includes/reset_seo_cache.php'); Hope that helps!

"); doesn't do anything without a space after '-' ... so this doesn't cause the problem ... This is one of the "problems" I ran into on my test set up as well.... Has nothing to do with any editing of any files on my part, I just didn't understand all of the settings properly. To correct the missing "-" from URLs generated by Ultimate SEO, go into the admin section for SEO URLs, and change the "Remove all non-alphanumeric characters" setting to "false". After that, go to the next setting below and reset theSEO URLs cache to clear out the previously generated URLs. This will cause SEO URLs to generate the way you're looking for ("product-name-etc-etc-p-1" instead of "productnameetcetc-p-1"). Believe it or not, I actually found this information included with the contrib, in the install.html file configuration section. :blush: -Manica, regarding your last post: Thank you but in my categories.php on line 18 stand thisFirst kine is line 18 if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['action']) { switch ($HTTP_GET_VARS['action']) { case 'setflag': if ( ($HTTP_GET_VARS['flag'] == '0') || ($HTTP_GET_VARS['flag'] == '1') ) { if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['pID']) { tep_set_product_status($HTTP_GET_VARS['pID'], $HTTP_GET_VARS['flag']); } The code you are showing here is starting from line 25 in my categories.php, in other words, the very next few lines beyond what I posted above. If you're looking for where to paste the SEO URLs code, it should go on the lines just before your line 18. If that doesn't work, write back and post the top part of your categories.php and I'll see if I can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldo Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I prefer model in URL instead id.

Sorry, as far as I understand it, you will not be able to get SEO URLs to work exactly like that. The product information included already can be used for this purpose, i.e. the "xmodel" information can be included in the product title when you enter the product into the catalog so that the url comes out as http://www.domain.com/mp3-player-xmodel-p-42.html ... HOWEVER, the "-p-42' part is necessary because the current version of SEO URLs requires this information to be present in order for the mod-rewrite functionality to work on your server (i.e. the mod_rewrite functions added to your .htaccess file)... Without that, the rewrite URL would not work correctly. Darn, I wish Chemo wasn't banned... He's probably already got a better fix in place by now :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sickboards Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) Hi, I cann't seem to get it to work. I'm trying to implement it locally (Windows machine with XAMPP), but there is a problem with the .htaccess file (i guess). It generates this error: Server error! The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.

stephen495 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I Just upgraded to latest version of SEO Urls, 2.1d. It is working fine except clicking the product on the product page results in a 404 error: The requested URL /catalog/roving-pi-29.html was not found on this server. This problem only effects the popup images, all other images display properly. Version 1 of SEO Urls worked fine but it was more than a year old. Any ideas?

lrm21 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 404 Error Problem I am having a similar problem as reported by several people on this thread. But I have not been able to find a solution. I have installed V2.1d and the dynamic HTML urls are generated but I get a 404 error when i click the link. example http://toronetworks.com/torostore/catalog/...-2002-p-28.html On other links like categories I get redirected to the root index page. I have a feeling these problems are all related to the .htaccess file. but have not been able to pinpoint them. I have checked to make sure its CHMOD 777 and have tried with "options +FollowSymLinks" removed. I never had .htaccess file in the catalog directory of if I did it wasnt showing and overwrote it mistakenly. My backed up version of my store however does not show .htaccess file and I assuming therefore there was none in the /catalog/ directory of my server My server is running FreeBSD Contributions I have installed: On The Fly Autothumbnails Main Catagories Quantity Price Breaks and Volume Pricing CoolMenus I am hoping someone can shed some light. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 You're right...the issue is related to the .htaccess files that reside in each directory. For your site it look there are going to be 3 files that you'll have to check. The first is in the root...second in the torostore...and the last one in the catalog directory. The behaviour of .htaccess files is cascading. For example, you can (and probably do) have conflicting rewrite rules in one or more of those .htaccess files. Download each of the files and post them here (making sure to denote which directory each came from). Let's see if we can get this worked out for you.

The v2.X contribution rewrites more pages than just the categories and product pages...so be sure that you also updated your .htaccess file to accomodate these extra pages.
