Hi,

I'm having the following problem with version 2.1d_Updated:

I have a category CDs. Inside are categories like A-D, E-H, I-L, M-P, Q-T,U-Z

Only category M-P gives respons: "Product not found! "

 

All other categories work. Also other main categories like clothing, tapes, vinyl etc etc.

Why does only this one show nothing?

Thanks

Hi All,

 

I've really tried to figure this out without posting to the forums, but these threads and documentaton has been difficult to follow.

 

Anyway, I installed xyz version of SEO URL

 

On step 4 is says to install some code after:

 

$action = (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['action']) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] : '');

 

in my admin/categories.php file.

 

Problem is nothing like that line of code exists in my admin/categories. I installed the code where I thought it probably belonged but I'm thinking I didn't get it right.

 

Everything seems to be ok, except that actual prodcts are not displaying. The store works fine browsing main pages and category pages, but anytime I try to view a product page, IE just spins and spins and spins.

 

Any ideas? The site is www.GameRoom-Supplies.com/

 

Thanks all,

Chris Hackett

In all versions of oscommerce the first few lines of code are ..

 

  require('includes/application_top.php');

 require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'currencies.php');
 $currencies = new currencies();

 $action = (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['action']) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] : '');

If i wanted to add the category name to the URL string, what would i have to do?

 

 

i.e: instead of

 

example.com/pair-of-brown-leather-shoes-p-26.html

 

would become

 

example.com/mens-shoes-c-2/pair-of-brown-leather-shoes-p-26.html

 

 

Im guessing i would have to edit both the tep_validate_seo_urls() function and the .htaccess file?

 

Any help or pointers greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

 

I had a bug with an infinite loop of redirections,

on http://www.xxxxxxx.com/catalog/index.php?products_id=4650

this link appeared on a "buy now" button on cross selling items

 

seo should rewrites this link to s05myprod-p-4650.html

unfortunately it does not rewrites to this new form,

it detects that this link should be rewritten

check_seo_page() and need_redirect() says true "index.php" is in $seo_pages

but href_link and parse_parameters does not consider that "index.php" is not rewritable

so seo redirects to the same url

a fix : it should not do_redirect() on an unchanged url to avoid looping

 

my real fix : seo should rewrite url for index.php,

 

I added the case ( $page == FILENAME_DEFAULT && !$this->is_attribute_string($p2[1]) ):

 

in seo.class.php around line 790

 

function parse_parameters($page, $params, &$separator){
[...]
   switch ($p2[0]){ 
       case 'products_id':
           switch(true){
           case ( $page == FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO && !$this->is_attribute_string($p2[1]) ):
           case ( $page == FILENAME_DEFAULT && !$this->is_attribute_string($p2[1]) ): //GK clic-france.com may2008

 

the same bug should appear for FILENAME_POPUP_IMAGE

 

Thanks for this contribution :-) GuyK

Looks like the bug is in your code because it is not in ULTIMATE SEO URLs

In all versions of oscommerce the first few lines of code are ..

 

  require('includes/application_top.php');

 require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'currencies.php');
 $currencies = new currencies();

 $action = (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['action']) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] : '');

 

Huh ... that's really interesting, here are the first lines of my admin/catalog.php

// RCI code start
echo $cre_RCI->get('global', 'top');
echo $cre_RCI->get('categories', 'top');

$currencies = new currencies();

//intilize varibles
$groupcnt = 0; 
$categories_id = '';
$Push = '';
$categories_head_keywords_tag = '';

 

I knew that CRE was slightly different from OSC, but I thought that CRE was built on top of CRE and basically just had some of the more popular mods installed. Speaking of which, where is this mod in the CRE version? I'm wondering if I would have been better off starting out with OSC instead of CRE...

 

Thanks for your help. I did eventually see something where there were some messages stating that this version that I installed was buggy, broken, or documented not to work, and that I should install 2.1d or something like that? Should I rollback and install a different version of this?

 

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

Hi Chris

 

Install 2.1d updated

 

For CRE put that (admin/categories) code directly above ..

 

  if (isset($_GET['action'])) {

 

Also CRE hardcodes in a lot of & which causes problems so look back a few posts to where I mention the tep_redirect mod for & and apply that or it won't work.

 

Also in includes/classes/seo.class.php

 

Search for ..

		function href_link($page = '', $parameters = '', $connection = 'NONSSL', $add_session_id = true){

 

Replace with ..

 

		function href_link($page = '', $parameters = '', $connection = 'NONSSL', $add_session_id = true){
			$parameters = str_replace('&', '&', $parameters);

 

And yes imo you'd have been far better of with a well modded osc rather than what is (again imo) the spagetti like CRE code.

I have had this Ultimate SEO URLs on my site since I first put it up. My product urls look like this

http://grunionmoto.com/spy-haymaker-sunglasses-p-426.html

 

but my category products dont have the category name in them...

 

http://grunionmoto.com/-c-1_90_91.html

 

I tried this

http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5738

but besides not making my category names show up it breaks all my category pages when turned on.... What do I need to do to get the category name to show up in the url?

[chackett 0]

Took me a while to figure things out, but I followed these instructions, and it looks like everything is working now.

 

I really appreciate the help. Thank you very much.

Sounds like a server upgrade and a non compatible version of USU.

 

I suggest upgrading to 2.1d updated.

Hi Rob

 

Thanks for your reply. I found the function tep_redirect($url) hack in an attempt to correct the error before I posted in the forum but I did not think that it would help as my URLS do not contain an &amp

 

However the tep_redirect($url) hack HAS corrected the problem with xampp.

 

I have now uploaded Ultimate SEO URLs - 2.1d to my webspace and it is working correctly without the hack so it seems that xampp is the cause of the problem.

 

The main thing is that it is working correctly on the website.

 

Thanks for you help

 

Ken.

It seems that you are correct. On my other site that I recently transferred to the same server the old urls are working fine but when I add a new category the urls are showing me -c-'s.... I will attempt an upgrade... thanks

[grunionfab 0]

Upgrading to version 2.1d did the trick perfectly. Thanks!

1) Reset your categories cache

 

2) If that doesn't work then your categories are probably hardcoded and are not using the correct tep_href_link function.

Hello Bobby or anyone,

 

My name is Michael. My website is MostBuys.net. I am hoping that you can help me. I am very new at making changes to these files.

 

Using the most recent update "Ultimate SEO URLs Version 2.1e"

 

Ultimate SEO URLs Version 2.1e

 

 

Step 1:

 

(I made these change with no problems, hopefully)

 

 

But then with Step 2, my ".htaccess" file has none of the inform in there that requires me to locate and add the new changes to. I will list at the bottom what it actually has in there.

 

I am using osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2 RC1, PHP Version 5.2.3. Will this "Ultimate SEO URLs Version 2.1e" work with my OSC version?

 

Step 2:

In the file catalog/.htaccess

 

Find these lines at the top:

 

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /catalog/

and add these lines after: (before the first RewriteRule)

 

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^options\=(.*)$RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-(.*).html$ product_info.php?products_id=$2%1

 

 

What's in my ".htaccess" folder:

 

# $Id: $

#

# This is used with Apache WebServers

#

# For this to work, you must include the parameter 'Options' to

# the AllowOverride configuration

#

# Example:

#

# <Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">

# AllowOverride Options

# </Directory>

#

# 'All' with also work. (This configuration is in the

# apache/conf/httpd.conf file)

 

# The following makes adjustments to the SSL protocol for Internet

# Explorer browsers

 

#<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>

# <IfDefine SSL>

# SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \

# nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \

# downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

# </IfDefine>

#</IfModule>

 

# If Search Engine Friendly URLs do not work, try enabling the

# following Apache configuration parameter

 

# AcceptPathInfo On

 

# Fix certain PHP values

# (commented out by default to prevent errors occuring on certain

# servers)

 

# php_value session.use_trans_sid 0

# php_value register_globals 1

everything is ok right now.

You changed the tep_href_link function in functions/general.php when you installed the contribution.
