[Contribution] Ultimate SEO URLs - by Chemo

[MikeMike]

I just installed this contribution and it looks really good.

 

I noticed however, that my "buy now" button doesnt work anymore. It takes me to the product page and nothing is added to the cart.

 

Here is my PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW from catalog/includes/modules/product_listing.php

 

case 'PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW':
          $lc_align = 'center';
          $lc_text = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('action', 'pName')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_buy_now.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_BUY_NOW) . '</a> ';
          break;

 

Anything bad here?

Anything else to look for?

 

It doesn't matter how I set the settings in admin configuration

If that is the only change you made to app top then looks like you missed some...

 

Go look at step 3 (2)  in the install instructions you need to change te code for the show cart...

[MikeMike]

I did follow the instructions and made all changes including the one your are pointing out. I just figured that the case PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW would be the first place to look.

Please paste the other app top code for the view cart please..

(not that is it)

[MikeMike]

Here you go....

if (DISPLAY_CART == 'true') {
    $goto =  FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART;
    $parameters = array('action', 'cPath', 'products_id', 'pid', 'cName', 'pName');
  } else {
    $goto = basename($PHP_SELF);
    if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] == 'buy_now') {
      $parameters = array('action', 'pid', 'products_id', 'pName');
    } else {
      $parameters = array('action', 'pid');
    }
  }

 

and

 

case 'buy_now' :        if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'])) {
                              if (tep_has_product_attributes($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'])) {
                                tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']));
                              } else {
                                $cart->add_cart($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'], $cart->get_quantity($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'])+1);
                              }
                            }
       if ( (defined('SEO_URLS') && SEO_URLS == 'true') && (defined('SEO_URLS_TYPE') && SEO_URLS_TYPE == 'Rewrite') ){
        $cPath = tep_get_product_path($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']);
      $cPath_array = tep_parse_category_path($cPath);
      $cPath = implode('_', $cPath_array);
      tep_redirect(tep_href_link($goto, 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' . tep_get_all_get_params($parameters)));
       } else {
                             tep_redirect(tep_href_link($goto, tep_get_all_get_params($parameters)));
       }
                            break;

Set "prevent spider sessions" to true in admin/configuration and update your includes/spider.txt from the latest contribution.

If you follow the instructions one post up about prevent spider sessions and updating your spiders.txt you'll be fine.

 

Customers will always get SID's (they are supposed to).

 

Search Engines listed in spiders.txt will not.

BUt to help your self update to the latest version and use cache classes then you dont have to mess with paths ;)

Hi

 

I've installed Ultimate SEO and the cats and product pages are working perfectly.

 

I also have the latest version of article manager. The problem i have is the article pages are not converting!

 

I've tried adding this to the htaccess file:

RewriteRule ^(.*)-a-(.*).html$ articles_info.php?articles_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-t-(.*).html$ articles.php?tPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

 

and this to application_top file:

if ( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['tName']) && defined(urldecode($HTTP_GET_VARS['tName'])) ) {
$tPath = str_replace( 'tPath=', '', constant(urldecode($HTTP_GET_VARS['tName'])) );
$HTTP_GET_VARS['tPath'] = $tPath;
}
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['aName']) && defined(urldecode($HTTP_GET_VARS['aName'])) ) {
$aid = str_replace('articles_id=', '', constant(urldecode($HTTP_GET_VARS['aName'])));
$HTTP_GET_VARS['articles_id'] = (int)$aid;
}

 

I've also now have the Ultimate SEO 301 headers contrib, but without any luck.

 

So I just wanted to ask is there anything in the above code I need to add/change?

and I'm thinking I need to edit the html_output.php file but I'm unsure what to add?

Can anyone help me resolve this issue?

 

Thanks

Neil

I installed the mod. Everything works great, but i noticed after installing, under the cache control there are 3 cache blocks:

Categories Box

Manuf. Box

Also Purchased Module

 

The Cat. Box and Manuf. Box say File Does Not Exist under date created. Im confused about the cache control. What does the Reset do - do i ever use this? Also, should i be concerned about the File Does Not Exist? I installed correctly, why did this occur?

 

One final thing - What causes the distortion of the quick find box? when you first load my site, this box causes the column to temporarily expand and then shrink back down. you can check it at http://www.tools4flooring.com

 

I appreciate any help - Thanks!

The cache is for managing OSC stock cache not the cache class which is what SEO's use. If you want one to manage that download mine (in my signature). But if you installed it right it should reset when it needs to.

I have this installed and working great, it is a fantastic contribution.

 

I have just discovered one problem, on the index.php whilst on a product_listing the 'buy now' buttons do not function correctly, if you use the 'buy now' button on any product it works fine, but if you try to use a second 'buy now' on any other product it just adds the first product to the cart again. Looking at the links of the 'buy now' buttons they seem to default to the pname of the first clicked 'buy now'.

 

I assume it could be an issue with this code:

 

<a href="' . tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $listing['products_id'], 'NONSSL') . '">

 

from product_listing.php

 

i have the 'show shopping cart after adding to cart' option in admin set to false, so when a customer adds a product they stay on the same page.

 

you can see the problem here:

http://www.consoleplus.co.uk/index.php?cNa...r-and-batteries

 

click 'add to cart' on any product, then try adding another product.

 

any ideas?

Hi,

 

I am having this problem of our website being offline due to cache.class.php.

Ultimate SEO worked fine since 2 weeks we installed it but suddenly this message appears on our website and there is no way of getting back online.

 

If someone has the solution please advise me.

 

Thanks.

[Guest]

Please ignore my post above, it is now fixed :)

 

i had a line missing from application_top

[yandus]

Anyone any clue to my cache.class.php problem listed above?

[yandus]

OK, the problem should be solved thru php.ini but what if I don't have it in osc? Could it have been named otherwise? Does anyone reading this know how to increase the memory...

[homewetbar]

I've got the ultimate SEO Urls contrib installed and I think it is causing me to have problems with some contriubtions. One contribution in particular Ship in Cart (MS2)" won't work at all to update the pages, I'm thinking it has something to do with the update statements using href="_" in them to update when you select another shipping method or address and this contribution seems to be causing it to not work now.

 

Here is a snip from the Ship in Cart code so you can see what I'm talking about:

 

      // shipping display
     $ShipTxt.='<tr><td colspan="3" class="main"> </td></tr><tr><td class="main"><b>' . CART_SHIPPING_CARRIER_TEXT . '</b></td><td class="main" align="left"><b>' . CART_SHIPPING_METHOD_TEXT . '</b></td><td class="main" align="right"><b>' . CART_SHIPPING_METHOD_RATES . '</b></td></tr>';
     $ShipTxt.='<tr><td colspan="3" class="main">'.tep_draw_separator().'</td></tr>';
     for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($quotes); $i<$n; $i++) {
       if(sizeof($quotes[$i]['methods'])==1){
         // simple shipping method
         $thisquoteid = $quotes[$i]['id'].'_'.$quotes[$i]['methods'][0]['id'];
         $ShipTxt.= '<tr class="'.$extra.'">';
         $ShipTxt.='<td class="main">'.$quotes[$i]['icon'].'   </td>';
         if($quotes[$i]['error']){
           $ShipTxt.='<td colspan="2" class="main">'.$quotes[$i]['module'].' ';
           $ShipTxt.= '('.$quotes[$i]['error'].')</td></tr>';
         }else{
           if($selected_shipping['id'] == $thisquoteid){
             $ShipTxt.='<td class="main"><a title="Select this method" href="_"  onclick="return shipincart_submit(\''.$thisquoteid.'\');"><b>'.$quotes[$i]['module'].' ';
             $ShipTxt.= '('.$quotes[$i]['methods'][0]['title'].')</b></a>   </td><td align="right" class="main"><b>'.$currencies->format(tep_add_tax($quotes[$i]['methods'][0]['cost'], $quotes[$i]['tax'])).'</b></td></tr>';
           }else{
             $ShipTxt.='<td class="main"><a title="Select this method" href="_" onclick="return shipincart_submit(\''.$thisquoteid.'\');">'.$quotes[$i]['module'].' ';
             $ShipTxt.= '('.$quotes[$i]['methods'][0]['title'].')</a>   </td><td align="right" class="main">'.$currencies->format(tep_add_tax($quotes[$i]['methods'][0]['cost'], $quotes[$i]['tax'])).'</td></tr>';
           }

 

See how its using href="_" in its statements to update the page, I think thats what Ultimate SEO is interfering with...

 

 

Anyone know how to work around this?

 

Thanks a ton in advance!

First of all, installation worls well. In fact most of every link works normally.

 

My problem comes from a module i call from a template page.

<!-- new_products_eof //-->

 

this file is called /includes/modules/new_products.php

 

I call it from index_default.tpl.php like this

 

 

<table border="0" width="591" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
       <tr>
      	 <td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>
       </tr>
</table>

 

and believe me or not that's the only place where the url are not transformed !!!

 

In fact, i've been looking for the get_cache's function, to see what happens when i display $cache_data's value (i made an echo $cache_data ; just before the eval("$cache_data");) and what is really strange, is that the 4 products which are requested in news_products are not defined !!!!

 

I've not been able to understand yet how is build the cache and how you make possible to store the whole products reference, but maybe you could help me to understand that ?

 

Last questions...

 

Is there a risk to use your SEO if i expect having more than a thousands of products and more than 150 categories (for an another website).

 

You can see in action WITHOUT seo the news_products.php file with http://www.numeriworld.com (customer asked me to remove OsCommerce's reference, do not shot at me).

 

Hope my english is understandable and than you can help me to understand few other part of your nice code.

forget the post above... the problem was quiet simple... products were with a special status equal to "2"

 

anayway,

 

does someone have any experience with an huge database with more than 1000 products ?

 

I expect using this contrib on an heavy loaded shop and i just wonder how i can expect it to work...

 

thanks by advance for any reply

I installed the mod. Everything works great, but i noticed after installing, under the cache control there are 3 cache blocks:

Categories Box

Manuf. Box

Also Purchased Module

 

The Cat. Box and Manuf. Box say File Does Not Exist under date created. Im confused about the cache control. What does the Reset do - do i ever use this? Also, should i be concerned about the File Does Not Exist? I installed correctly, why did this occur?

 

One final thing - What causes the distortion of the quick find box? when you first load my site, this box causes the column to temporarily expand and then shrink back down. you can check it at http://www.tools4flooring.com

 

I appreciate any help - Thanks!

Jon,

 

The 3 boxes are stock osC.

 

The reason it distorts on load is due to the page structure.

 

I've got the ultimate SEO Urls contrib installed and I think it is causing me to have problems with some contriubtions. One contribution in particular Ship in Cart (MS2)" won't work at all to update the pages, I'm thinking it has something to do with the update statements using href="_" in them to update when you select another shipping method or address and this contribution seems to be causing it to not work now.

 

Here is a snip from the Ship in Cart code so you can see what I'm talking about:

 

< snip bunch of code>

 

See how its using href="_" in its statements to update the page, I think thats what Ultimate SEO is interfering with...

Anyone know how to work around this?

 

Thanks a ton in advance!

The Ultimate SEO URLs is not interfering with anything. The SEO URLs has an internal switch to ONLY SEO those URLs that are either index.php (categories) or product_info.php (products). Any other URL and it returns the normal, stock osC URL.

 

Want proof?

2 sites with SEO URLs + ship estimate in cart. Both are functioning.
