[Contribution] Ultimate SEO URLs - by Chemo

[dyzh8888]

Hi, I just installed Ultimate Seo Urls Version 2.5 by faaliyet . Great Contribution. No bumps whatsoever. I have to say this is the smoothest install I have done ever.

 

I tried to get rid of the .htaccess file and put the rewrite rules in the virutal host directive in httpd.conf, I am not familar with mod_rewrite, so I just copied the contents of .htaccess file and pasted into the virtual host directive, like

<VirtualHost>

ServerName....

DocumentRoot...

RewriteEngine On

......

........

</VirtualHost>

 

I removed the RewriteBase line as it caused apache configuration error. Now I am getting bad requests error when I tried to click on the products page and other SEO enabled pages..

 

so: is it possible to include the contents of .htaccess file in virtual host directive in httpd.conf? if yes, what will be the correct way?

 

help or pointers will be greatly appreciated..thanks a bunch...

Looks like I encountered a problem after all. I installed Ultimate Seo Urls Version 2.5, everything seems to be fine for the english version of my site, however, when I switch to my chinese language site, choosing manufacturers from the manufacturers drop-down menu box in the left column caused problem. I am getting this :

==================================================

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /oscommerce/catalog/±±¾©´ïÌØ¿µ¿Æ¼¼·¢Õ¹ÓÐÏÞÔðÈι«Ë¾-m-1.html on this server.

===================================================

although I am getting forbidden status response, the url clearly indicates that .htaccess is doing its job, it rewrites the url correctly, like this: http://127.0.0.1/oscommerce/catalog/xxxxx-...8a441673434ac16 , and if I refresh and reload the page, the page was shown as it should be.

 

I checked the log file, the error message in the log file is:

===================================================

Invalid argument: Cannot map GET /oscommerce/catalog/\xb1\xb1\xbe\xa9\xb4\xef\xcc\xd8\xbf\xb5\xbf\xc6\xbc\xbc\xb7\xa2\xd5\xb9\xd3\xd0\xcf\xde\xd4\xf0\xc8\xce\xb9\xab\xcb\xbe-m-1.html HTTP/1.1 to file

========================================================

 

if I switch back to English version, then the problem disappears.

 

.htaccess should be working, and it should not have anything to do with the multi-byte chinese language I am using for the site, since other SEO redirects are working fine, such as products_info page, etc.

 

I spent quite some time trying to figure this out, but apparently this was beyond my knowledge. it is very disappointing that I might have to give up this nicely done contribution just due to this annoying problem.

 

Any help or pointer will be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot...

Ok, thanks for the instructions on Step 3 I've done everything else now. However, on Step 5 I couldn't find the EXACT function described. So I tried a number of different options and nothing worked. I would only get an error message stating that line ### on my html_output.php page.

 

Here's what my html_output.php page originally looked like (well approx 1/2 the page but I didn't think you needed the full thing). What should I replace?

Ok, thanks for the instructions on Step 3 I've done everything else now. However, on Step 5 I couldn't find the EXACT function described.

 

Step 5 you just add a simple function to the bottom of admin/includes/functions/general.php

[rockpretty]

Step 5 you just add a simple function to the bottom of admin/includes/functions/general.php

 

I see what I've done. I've should of read this thread PRIOR to downloading the function. I've downloaded the latest version and I've done all the steps except for Step 5 (which looks like Step 3 in the 2.1d version). Should I continue and just finish off or should I be trying to start over using the 2.1d version. If I'm to continue I'm still at a loss. Step 5 (Step 3 in 2.1d version)asks me to replace with a new info. I however can't find the EXACT info. This is what I have (well it's 1/2 of the page), what part should I replace?

 

Thanks:

Hiya,

 

I think this contribution is great, but I've just noticed a funny thing happening where I've used it:

 

I set it up on a pre-existing site for someone who came to me looking for someone to update their shop, and sometimes I get this:

 

http://www.hoppocketwine.co.uk/celtic-spir...e3fa9e9b981bff7

and at others I get:

http://www.hoppocketwine.co.uk/celtic-spir...pack-p-393.html

 

Yesterday I only seemed to get the extra digits on the home page, but today it's all over the site - I know that it's pretty crazy to say it comes and goes, but that is how it seems...

 

Has anyone else experienced this/got any ideas?

 

Thanks!

It is the session id which is fundamental. It shows for one or two clicks then disappears if the sites configuration is correct.

 

You really shouldn't be working on other peoples sites if you don't understand the fundamentals.

Hello,

 

Any files you download are downloaded in the .zip format. So you would need a program such as Winzip to unzip the downloaded file. Once unzipped you be able to open the folder and find all files you need including instructions.

 

Hope that helps.

This is not an issue with seo urls. So it must be an issue with your site.

And what has this to do with this contribution?

Hi

 

I have installed Ultimate Seo Urls v2.5 (18 Aug 2008)

 

and It has been installed on my site (westonehosting.com) for about a week now and I have put up to google a site map (dynamic_sitemap_v4.0.1) and a robots.txt (robots.txt Sample File by Java Roasters

6 Mar 2008), But I am seeing in my google Webmaster Tools account that I am getting about 1,000 urls A DAY and now it is at 7,780 Ultimate Seo Urls restricted by my robots.txt.

 

what is going on all over this forum we are told to install all this "SEO" thing all to get 1,000 urls restricted a day.

 

I would not care or be here if I had 7,000 + urls on my site but I only have about 43 product and 6 - 9 info pages so not that big of a site.

 

Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please Help

None of you should be using anything later than v2.1d by Yesudo.

 

That version is perfectly stable, so I don't know why other people have been messing with it.

I understand what you are saying and I have been trying to steer users back to 2.1d but it is not now stable in its original form as below: -

 

• Use of short tags
  
• Not MySQL 5 compatible
  
• Needed tep_ouput_string added
  
• Redirect bug with W3C option
  
• Uses getenv('PATH_INFO') which is unreliable and differs on certain servers. (causes index.php?<directory>= urls)
  

 

Which is why I put up a 2.1d ORIGINAL updated version in the hope of stopping the wrecking of what is after all a great contribution. Also the original was in need of some form of validation because the original accepts ..

 

http://www.mysite.com/my-great-product-c-22.html

 

To be the same as ..

 

http://www.mysite.com/-c-22.html

 

The latter tends to be caused by a MySQL5 server rejecting the 2.1d original SQL code.

Just a idea why not just upload and start a new mod and then lock it then start a new Topic but just call it like "seo" then it could be for most seo mods like site map, G feed, url ect..

Hi, Robert

 

Just a idea why not just upload and start a new mod and then lock it then start a new Topic but just call it like "seo" then it could be for most seo mods like site map, G feed, url ect..

 

The main reason being that this contribution was written by Chemo and should be recognised as such.

 

I preferred to bring his original up-to-date rather than starting it as a "new" contribution. This is also why independent validation is "independent" it allowed me to add the validation functionality without taking SEO URLs code away from the original.

I understand what you are saying and I have been trying to steer users back to 2.1d but it is not now stable in its original form as below: -

 

• Use of short tags
  
• Not MySQL 5 compatible
  
• Needed tep_ouput_string added
  
• Redirect bug with W3C option
  
• Uses getenv('PATH_INFO') which is unreliable and differs on certain servers. (causes index.php?<directory>= urls)
  

 

Which is why I put up a 2.1d ORIGINAL updated version in the hope of stopping the wrecking of what is after all a great contribution. Also the original was in need of some form of validation because the original accepts ..

I've got such a headache from reading through the thread and checking various versions to figure out which one to use. It sounds like yours is the most current, stable, complete package and the one we should be using.

 

Just to be clear, are you referring to the download marked:

If so are there any issues with it that need to be addressed or is it golden just the way it is?

 

I hope I'm not being a pain. It just looks like a long and complicated install and I'd hate to put all that effort into the wrong version :)
