Noticed a small typo in docs/index.html file(I assume):

 // Ultimate SEO URLs v2.2d
 if ((!defined('SEO_ENABLED')) || (SEO_ENABLED == 'true')) {
   include_once('includes/classes/seo.class.php');
   if ( ! (isset($seo_urls) && is_object(?$seo_urls)) ){
     $seo_urls = new SEO_URL($languages_id);
   }
 }

Can't find a full Package for a clean install.

While some of the most recent updates say "This is a Full package." or "Full package" they only contain couple of updated files.

Can anyone please share the link to download the Full Package? 

Thanks in advance.

Al of my updates are full packages. What is it you are looking for in the last package that isn't in it?

Hello Jack and thanks for the quick reply. The typo is not very important, it is within the docs/index.html file and it looks like the "?" mark within "if ( ! (isset($seo_urls) && is_object(?$seo_urls)) ){condition is extra. Instead I guess it should be "if ( isset($seo_urls) && !is_object($seo_urls) ){" or maybe I am missing something.

As to my request for a link to the full package, maybe I am missing something. However, I have downloaded the files from Ultimate SEO 2-2.2d-17a (1st January 2019), where I can see 3 folders (docs, Upgrade and upload). In docs folder I noticed documents, which frankly I didn't look into assuming that those are documentation for changes down the road. In Upgrade folder there is only the  Upgrade_from_V_16 text file. In upload folder I can see 2 more files, which are admin/includes/reset_seo_cache.php and includes/classes/seo.class.php

And what I am looking for is the full package to install the Ultimate SEO from scratch.

Thanks again.

Thank you for pointing out this mistake. It could be very important to many that install the addon. I will make that change in the next version.

This addon is a little different than most of the others in that it installs itself, if needed. So what you have is the full package. If there are changes needed for an existing installation, as in this case, then the changes will be in upgrade file. Otherwise you just install it following the instructions in the installation file, except for the mistake you found, of course. :)

Well I tried again. After all the changes I get the following Error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method SEO_DataBase::ConnectDB() in /home/.../public_html/includes/classes/seo.class.php on line 78

line 78 is the $this->ConnectDB(); within function __construct($host, $user, $db, $pass){

then we have the function ConnectDB() and ConnectDB_Legacy() as follows, but I don't see how is ConnectDB_Legacy() called.

function ConnectDB(){
    global $db_link;
    $this->link_id = $db_link;

function ConnectDB_Legacy(){
    $this->link_id = mysqli_connect($this->host, $this->user, $this->pass, $this->db);
    if (!$this->link_id) {
        die('Connect Error (' . mysqli_connect_errno() . ') ' . mysqli_connect_error());
    }
} # end function
        

I checked and see that all four DB variables ($host, $user, $db, $pass) are properly passed. 

I am not sure what am I missing and would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks in advance.

It's not called. That function was just changed with the last update and the old one was left in in case there were problems. Try changing the code so the functions are renamed like this:

function ConnectDB_New(){
     global $db_link;
     $this->link_id = $db_link;
 }  

function ConnectDB(){

You also can uninstall the database changes with the setting for this addon to see if that helps. After doing that, visit the shop and the database changes will be made again.

Great! The previous function actually works fine. Thank you.

One more question, based on the instruction I should have the Configuration => SEO URLs within my admin, however, I don't see it. Is this changed too. I just realized it and I haven't looked into the coding yet.

Thanks again.

Yes, that's correct. There should be a section with settings in admin. I recall someone else had this problem very recently but I don't recall if it was fixed or not, though I think it was. It wasn't that long ago so if you look back through the last 2 - 4 pages you should be able to find it. The database changes not being added indicates a problem with the code and the php or MySQL versions being used.  What version of php does your shop use (see admin->Tools->Server Info). What version of oscommerce are you using?

Yes, I fill like something is not right but didn't have a chance to look into the details. 

I am using the osC version 2.3.4 with PHP Version: 5.6.30 (Zend: 2.6.0). Meanwhile, I will look at the recent pages  to see if I can find your mentioned post and the solution.

Thank you.

@Jack_mcs   Thanks for your feedback.

Interestingly enough, I changed the functions names from what you suggested:

function ConnectDB_New(){
     global $db_link;
     $this->link_id = $db_link;
 }  

function ConnectDB(){

 

back to the original:

function ConnectDB(){
     global $db_link;
     $this->link_id = $db_link;
 }  

function ConnectDB_Legacy(){

and I don't get the Fatal Error (Fatal error: Call to undefined method SEO_DataBase::ConnectDB() in /home/.../public_html/includes/classes/seo.class.php on line 78) anymore.

 

However, I still couldn't understand why the SEO settings are not showing in admin. In other words the class SEO_URL_INSTALLER{ is not triggered and the function __construct(){ is not executed. Therefore the  SEO records are not being inserted into the configuration table and same applies to the other MySQL entries.

I would much appreciate if someone can give me a hint.

Thanks in advance.

This addon is used in many shops and the problem you are having has only been mentioned the one time. Were you able to find that post? I suggest installing an older version, like -15 or even -14a, to see if the database changes show up. To install it, you just need to upload the one file in classes. If it works, there is something in the code that is not compatible with your server.

I had the same issue and it turned out to be an invisible U+FEFF UTF-8 character in the ConnectDB function. I deleted this character and it works as expected.

Well using the seo.class.php from Ultimate SEO 2-2.2d-14a was a quick fix. It created the necessary database tables and inserted the required configuration records, then as soon as I restore the latest version of the seo.class.php, and click on any link on the website, the "SEO URLs" link disappears from Admin>Configuration. So apparently the database records are being erased too.

One more thing that I noticed, I set the Enable SEO URLs to False from admin, then as soon as I click on any link on the website the Enable SEO URLs is set back to True again. Or when I change the Filter Short Words value from the default 3 to any other number and click on any link on the website then seo.class.php  changes the value back to the default 3. So this means the settings cannot be edited since the seo.class.php  resets all the settings anytime it is triggered. 

Not sure what's going on yet

I hope this will help others who are experiencing the same problem I was facing. 

In function __construct(){ replace all '' values for configuration_id with NULL 

in other words replace:

'QUERY' => "INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Enable SEO URLs?', 'SEO_ENABLED', 'true', 'Enable the SEO URLs?  This is a global setting and will turn them off completely.', GROUP_INSERT_ID, ".$x.", NOW(), NOW(), NULL, 'tep_cfg_select_option(array(''true'', ''false''),')");

with

'QUERY' => "INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES (NULL, 'Enable SEO URLs?', 'SEO_ENABLED', 'true', 'Enable the SEO URLs?  This is a global setting and will turn them off completely.', GROUP_INSERT_ID, ".$x.", NOW(), NOW(), NULL, 'tep_cfg_select_option(array(''true'', ''false''),')");

        } # end class constructor
 

 

 

 

Similarly, in function install_settings(){  replace the '' value for configuration_group_id with NULL 

in other words replace:

                $insert_group = "INSERT INTO `configuration_group` VALUES ('', 'SEO URLs', 'Options for Ultimate SEO URLs by Chemo', '".$next_sort."', '1')";

with

                $insert_group = "INSERT INTO `configuration_group` VALUES (NULL, 'SEO URLs', 'Options for Ultimate SEO URLs by Chemo', '".$next_sort."', '1')";
 

Here is the edited version:

 

        function install_settings(){
                $this->uninstall_settings();
                $sort_order_query = "SELECT MAX(sort_order) as max_sort FROM `configuration_group`";
                $sort = $this->DB->FetchArray( $this->DB->Query($sort_order_query) );
                $next_sort = $sort['max_sort'] + 1;
                $insert_group = "INSERT INTO `configuration_group` VALUES (NULL, 'SEO URLs', 'Options for Ultimate SEO URLs by Chemo', '".$next_sort."', '1')";
                $this->DB->Query($insert_group);
                $group_id = $this->DB->InsertID();

                foreach ($this->default_config as $key => $value){
                        $sql = str_replace('GROUP_INSERT_ID', $group_id, $value['QUERY']);
                        $this->DB->Query($sql);
                }

                $insert_cache_table = "CREATE TABLE `cache` (
                  `cache_id` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
                  `cache_language_id` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
                  `cache_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
                  `cache_data` mediumtext NOT NULL,
                  `cache_global` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1',
                  `cache_gzip` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1',
                  `cache_method` varchar(20) NOT NULL default 'RETURN',
                  `cache_date` datetime NOT NULL,
                  `cache_expires` datetime NOT NULL,
                  PRIMARY KEY  (`cache_id`,`cache_language_id`),
                  KEY `cache_id` (`cache_id`),
                  KEY `cache_language_id` (`cache_language_id`),
                  KEY `cache_global` (`cache_global`)
                ) ;";
                $this->DB->Query($insert_cache_table);
        } # end function        
 

Otherwise it is a great module/app. Thanks.

@edo.script sounds like your database structure is iffy. configuration_id and configuration_group_id should not have default values, they should be auto_increment

Something else worth checking is that you don't have a conflict with any other customisation. SEO_URLs check for whether it needs to reinstall is a bit crude and looks for config vars that start SEO_ and USE_SEO_ so if some other addon creates one named like that you get issues.

If the number of these doesn't match what it thinks they should be, SEO_URLs deletes them all and reinstalls itself. Then it will be stable for a while unless/until the other customisation recreates another variable starting like that and then it starts all over again.

Contact me for work on updating existing stores - whether to Phoenix or the new osC when it's released.

Looking for a payment or shipping module? Maybe I've already done it.

Well, the configuration_id and configuration_group_id are set to AUTO_INCREMENT.

And I did see the line:

 $this->DB->Query("DELETE FROM `configuration` WHERE configuration_group_id = '" . $cfgID['ID'] . "' OR configuration_key LIKE 'SEO_%' OR configuration_key LIKE 'USE_SEO_%'");

There are no other records LIKE 'SEO_%'.

After I changed the blank('') values to NULL it started functioning without any issues. All the changes are saved properly. The SEO URLs Enable/Disable works fine. All the changed values are saved and so on. Unless, there is something I haven't noticed yet.

@edo.script I'm curious why, if your diagnosis is right, you're the only one to hit the issue. Are you on mysql or mariadb, and what version?

@BrockleyJohn That's a good question and frankly I had the same question in mind. And even now when everything works fine at my end I am not sure if that was the main reason. I am suspicious that something else is the main reason. Something that I haven't yet noticed, like a custom setting in MySQL or... 

I am using:

Database: MySQL 5.6.41

with

PHP Version: 5.6.30 (Zend: 2.6.0)

 

And this is how I came to that decision. I installed older versions until I found out that Ultimate SEO 2-2.2d-14a properly inserted the SEO URL records into the configuration table and added the SEO URLs link under Admin>Configuration. So I started looking into the SQL query differences and I noticed that in  Ultimate SEO 2-2.2d-14a the query is:

 'QUERY' => "INSERT INTO `".TABLE_CONFIGURATION."` VALUES (NULL, 'Enable SEO URLs?', 'SEO_ENABLED', 'true', 'Enable the SEO URLs?  This is a global setting and will turn them off completely.', GROUP_INSERT_ID, ".$x.", NOW(), NOW(), NULL, 'tep_cfg_select_option(array(''true'', ''false''),')");

and in version Ultimate SEO 2-2.2d-17a, of course with other major changes in scripting, the query is changed to 

'QUERY' => "INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Enable SEO URLs?', 'SEO_ENABLED', 'true', 'Enable the SEO URLs?  This is a global setting and will turn them off completely.', GROUP_INSERT_ID, ".$x.", NOW(), NOW(), NULL, 'tep_cfg_select_option(array(''true'', ''false''),')");

So i decided to manually try both queries in my PHP MyAdmin. The query: 

"INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Enable SEO URLs?', 'SEO_ENABLED', 'true', 'Enable the SEO URLs?  This is a global setting and will turn them off completely.', 46, 0, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, 'tep_cfg_select_option(array(''true'', ''false''),')"

returned and error:

SQL query: 

INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Enable SEO URLs111?', 'SEO_ENABLED', 'true', 'Enable the SEO URLs?  This is a global setting and will turn them off completely.', 46, 0, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, 'tep_cfg_select_option(array(''true'', ''false''),')

MySQL said: 

#1366 - Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'configuration_id' at row 1

 

And when I replaced the quotes with NULL the query was executed.

So far that's where I am and i would much appreciate a good advise here.

I currently have v2.2 of this URL rewrite module installed and the informations pages module.  All works well, except the information page URLs are converted to :

-i-6.html

-i-7.html

which is not very descriptive.

Is there a way to add something a little more descriptive to the beginning of the URL

e.g. Visit-our-shop-i-6.html

I understand that for products, the start of the new URL is taken from the Product name, but for the information page there is no name defined for the page.  There is a title, and that appears on the page itself.  Can this be used to rewrite the URL?

Or is there any other method or would it require a code change?

It depends on which version of this addon and Information Pages you are using. If you are using the -17 version of this addon and the last version of Information Pages or any version of Information Pages SEO, the url should be generated with the name. If you are using those versions, then it may be a cache issue with this addon, assuming you had an older version of IP installed before. You can use the clear cache option in this addons settings to clear it.
