Guest Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 (edited) I get the same problem when going through the cat select box. http://www.ideal-handling.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=159 instead of http://www.ideal-handling.com/catalog/powered-carts-zallys-electric-carts-c-1_158_159.html This is even after I reset the cache for cat box.

jond Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 think i got it! I changed the seo_cache.php, by changing: ----------------------------------------------------------- # Add the defines to the output string $cat_cache .= 'define(\'CATEGORY_NAME_' . $id . '\', \'' . $parent_name . $name . '\'); ' . "\n"; $cat_cache .= 'define(\'' . $parent_name . $name . '\', \'cPath=' . $id . '\'); ' . "\n"; # Add the category name to the container array $cat_container[$parent_name . $name] = array('id' => $id, 'counter' => 1); -------------------------------------------------------- to this: ---------------------------------------------------------- # Add the defines to the output string $cat_cache .= 'define(\'CATEGORY_NAME_' . $id . '\', \'' . $name . '\'); ' . "\n"; $cat_cache .= 'define(\'' . $name . '\', \'cPath=' . $id . '\'); ' . "\n"; # Add the category name to the container array $cat_container[$name] = array('id' => $id, 'counter' => 1); ----------------------------------- Basically i just removed the $parent_name variable 3 times. It seems to be working, but Chemo could you confirm this is the correct way to remove the parent category names from the subcats? thanks!

royalfunk Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Good find! How did you figure it out?? Bobby <{POST_SNAPBACK}> When I uninstalled the SEO URL's and went back to my SEO software, it said that a redirect was hindering submission. Even though I was submitting the main page, it was showing me logoff.php. I put it all together and remembered how the Autologon Contribution worked. I tried going in to admin and turning it off, and low and behold, now my pages were spider-friendly again!

khamidovic Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Kathy, I just tested on my dev server which is using the patch Bobby posted above in his pastebin and I am not having this problem. You might want to look into something else. I know that is not an answer, but I don't think it is the SEO causing as I am unable to duplicate your issue. Chris <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Think I figured it out (unless it is all a fluke), but here is what I did. I read somewhere that certain shopping carts things are taken care of in application_top.php so went in there and realized that the seo urls code comments had been commented out with # instead of // (as all the other comments have the // before them) so made the switch and my problem now seems to be fixed. Does this make any sense? Or could it just be a coincidence? Will keep an eye on it and see if the problem comes back. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥akmac Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Disclaimer: I am an idiot. Question: I forgot to run the second install per the detailed and clear instructions. No excuse. Can I add the db changes via phpmyadmin without having to back out the code changes? What section of <edit> Sorry for that-I commented out the added code in catalog/includes/application_top.php, reuploaded and was able to run it. So, instead of asking for help-THANK YOU Bobby for the stellar work. Quote Quidquid latine dictum sit, profundum viditur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dacotah Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Hi all, I tried installing with the 2.0b Feb 7 release. I ended up with two listings of SEO URLs in the Admin Config. They both have the same added and modified date of today. When I enable the second listing, I can see it is changing the urls to .html however none of the urls exist. Enabling the first listing does nothing as far as I can tell. Since the second listing seems to be working, I changed to cName instead of Rewrite and it seems cName is working ok. Rewrite does not. I shut it back off. What do I need to check? Thanks, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dacotah Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Ok, my .htaccess didn't transfer correctly. Now the urls work just fine in redirect mode. Whew!!! I still have double listings in the Admin -> Configure panel. How can I get rid of the first one? I'm a new administrator on this site, and AFAIK there wasn't any SEO contribs installed previously. I checked to make sure SEF URLs was disabled before installing, and it said so, but maybe it had said SEO URls instead of SEF Urls? I'm confusing myself now.

You may find one day that you are have someone else's category box on your site :) Don't laugh...it has happened! So, turn off the Force Cookie Use setting. Then, update your spiders.txt file. Next, change your cache directory to something else. Then, clear your cache just to be safe. Finally, check your site with my spider simulator: Chemo's Spider Simulator A successful test would be like this: Googlebot: no osCsid's in the URLs Chemo's Spider: no osCsid's in the URLs Firefox: has osCsid's in the URLs If your site passes those tests it is functioning correctly. I don't think I have enough sql experience to try #1 yet. So for option #2, I'm thinking I should disable the module, run install-seo.php and select uninstall. Then rerun it to do the install, and turn the module back on? This sound right? It's a live store. Thanks again <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No need to disable...just run the uninstall script (make sure it is the install-seo.php file!!!) and then turn right around and install it. The uninstall will remove both entries and the install will put one of them back in. As soon as you get the settings back in the database go configure it again.

patator Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Thanks for the answer Bobby I installed the spiders.txt contrib, it would mean that I already had an updated spiders.txt file. Though, it doesn't still work, I keep having OscId. What could be missing in the spiders.txt file then ? (my cache is empty) Thanks for your help I would NOT use the /tmp/ directory for the cache file.
