Giacomo79 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I'm a little bit unsure to use this contribution. Are the results good? Are the new pages created saved on server? Or they are created on the fly? thanks in advance for the reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodyTags Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I am trying to install this contrib but I am confused on the last step, the .htaccess file. I made one in HTMLEditor and uploaded it to /catalog spot, but upon testing, got a error saying page doesnt exist. Tried all sorts of things and nothing would work. So I am wondering if I uploaded it correctly or used the right bit of code. Part of my problem I think is I am not sure how to write out that one bit of code that needs changing ... I use Netfirms and to get to catalog, I go through 4 directories ... do I write it out like this - RewriteBase /www/storename/nfo???/catalog - RewriteBase /www/storename/nfo???/catalog/.htacess OR just as -RewriteBase /catalog/ I uploaded into catalog. I also used the first bit of code; for directories? I believe. Any help appreciate - oh this is a clean install, first contrib/change done to it.

Guest Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I installed this contrib. The catalog/index.php page displayed correctly but none of the links worked. With Firefox all I got was blank pages and with IE just got file not found. Help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 (edited) Lucky me - I installed this fab contribution and it worked fine straight away! I have one issue - I have Extra Pages installed, and it doesn't change those, which does not bother me too much, but I have another issue and I'm not sure if it connected with this contribution. I previously had safe url's turned on, but when I turn them on now so that the pages have no ? in them, my product information redirect won't work. i.e. on the product page, there is a link to extra information pages and that redirect no longer works. Anyone else had this problem and fixed it? I want the ? out of my extra pages as they actually had some page rank! Thanks. The link that refuses to work is this one - www...mysite.com/redirect.php?action=url&goto=www.mysite.com%2Fpage.html Edited October 12, 2005 by Miop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightykip Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 (edited) Thanks Chemo for this contribution!! I seem to be running into a problem that I haven't seen yet on this list. Everything seems to working great except when I am checking out. Here is what happens: 1) I add something to my cart. 2) I checkout. 3) I enter credit card information. 4) I click on Confirm Order. When I click on Confirm Order the order goes through but ... no order appears in the back-end. Also you normally would see products you ordered listed with checkboxes next to them... there are no products and no checkboxes. The email that gets sent on a successful order has an Order Number of 0. I'm running using: php 4.4.0 apache 2.0.54 Ultimate_SEO_URLs_v2.1c Authorize.net (the stock OS Commerce Module) Do you have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate any help!

mightykip Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Actually, all I had to do was turn off persistent database connections and now everything is working perfectly! I guess I should have looked a bit more before my post... I found the answer about 20 minutes after. Thanks Chemo!! p.s. You may want to update your install docs and make it very clear that persistent connections needs to be off! :) Had the same problem - had to completely uninstall this thing.Have installed this on different sites and there is always one problem or another.

rhubarb Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 We are finding that even when NOT using the function tep_href_link to construct an href the osCsid session key parameter is being appended to the link. Anyone any idea how that's occuring? We do have ultimate SEO urls installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhubarb Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Wondering if it could be due to using a rewrite rule eg: ^filename/(.*)-id-(.*).html$ filename.php?id=$2 Might it be picking up all parameters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I did everything correct. thanks Salvo You need to contact your host and ask them to verify that mod_rewrite is enabled. The kind of error you are getting can be caused by not having mod_rewrite on or because of how the host handles the requests. You should ask them to look at your site and explain why it is failing. If they tell you they don't support such problems because it is an oscommerce shop, then you should look for a new host.

jond Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Hi, I have the module installed and working great. I want to avoid having the filtered pages with the ?s spidered, such as page 2,3, price sorts, etc. I tried putting in code under the SEO URL stuff in htaccess, that would check if the user was a spider like googlebot or yahoo, and then would rewrite the dynamic url as the base url without the ?= extension part. however, i was worried that this would conflict with the seo url code above it, and none of my product pages would get indexed... I then added this to my robots.txt file for googlebot, because it recognized wildcards Dsallow: /*? 1. Will this conflict with the SEO URL rewrite code in htaccess? i assume it will not, because i believe the htaccess rewrites change the url immediately, and THEN the robots.txt is checkec, but im not sure. 2. Is there a better way to do this? Ideally, i do not want any spider to follow any dynamic content, OTHER THAN the pages that are rewritten into static pages from dynamic by this contribution. Any help much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotthatton Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hey all, First off - thanks to Chemo for such a great contribution. Been using version 2.0b for a while now and it's great. Why did Chemo get banned from these forums? Seems pretty poor... Any ideas?? I notice something that Chemo mentioned in his launch message, and wondered if anyone has tried it. I submit my store to Froogle using the EasyPopulate contrib. However, EP uses the old style URL's - not a major problem as they get diverted (303), but anyone know of a way to get EP to product the correct URL's in the first place? Many Thanks, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
