Looks like you failed to add the required function to admin/includes/functions/general.php

Go back through the install instructions.

thanks for that,

looks like i changed the wrong file.

I changed the includes/functions/general.php not the admin/includes/functions/general.php

That error has now gone, but when i click an product image on the store i get an error page.

thanks for that,

looks like i changed the wrong file.

I changed the includes/functions/general.php not the admin/includes/functions/general.php

That error has now gone, but when i click an product image on the store i get an error page.

RewriteBase /directory/

Should be ..

RewriteBase /catalog/

that link didn't work by the way.

On a more general level, has anyone here had issues with sessions when manipulating the URL for SEO?

That's a very general question so I don't know what you mean. The only problem I am aware of is when the configure file isn't setup correctly so the session ID's are left in the url. That has been covered many times in this thread if you need to know how to set it up.

thanks for that....i should read more clearly.

Im not getting an error page anymore but the link is reverting back to the index page now.

Were getting there.

thanks.

Jack_mcs · January 9, 2010

I suggest you upload it to a new location with the option of No Public Upload allowed, and create a new support thread as this one is far too long to find relevant posts.

Yes, I agree it is a mess, and that's a shame, but creating a new addon would probably just add to the confusion. Hopefully the version numbers will be respected by others so that updates can at least be separated that way.

You have some bad redirect code in place which looks to be php code as opposed to .htaccess.

What the code seems to be trying to do is redirect (without the correct 301 headers) ..

www.mysite.com/

To

www.mysite.com/index.php

This is capturing the seo urls and redirecting them.

Two quick questions about the AWESOME add-on:

Just installed 22d_7, closely followed the instructions, and am getting this error:

500 Internal Server Error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function gzdeflate() in /usr/local/sftp2/www/www.hollywoodheroes.com/htdocs/includes/classes/seo.class.php on line 2367

Also, it appears that the catalog I'm working on has been installed in an "htdocs" directory (even though the URL doesn't show that - just www.hollywoodheroes.com). My .htaccess file is then inside an "includes" includes directory. Not sure what my "RewriteBase /directory/" should look like.

Help me Obi-Wan!

RewriteBase /

gzdeflate() is a standard php function that it seems your hosts have turned off.

You will need to modify seo.class.php if this is the case.

Thank you very much - I'll try that!

So, modify the seo.class.php so it reads "base64_encode(gzdeflate($value, 0))" instead of "base64_encode(gzdeflate($value, 1))"? Will it still work?

Thanks again!

Try this ..

Find ..

gzinflate(base64_decode($cache['cache_data']))

Change to ..

base64_decode( $cache['cache_data'] )

Find ..

base64_encode(gzdeflate($value, 1))

Replace with ..

base64_encode( $value )

You could also ask your host to enable it in their php. It has been standard for years now so they either have a very old version or just didn't include it in their compile. They really should fix it either way, in my opinion, though some hosts won't.

That got me rolling! I really, really appreciate the help. It looks like it is working, but the product and categories are giving me a 404 error. The default page works great. Check it out: http://www.hollywoodheroes.com/

The URL looks like I expect it to look (http://www.hollywoodheroes.com/star-wars-yoda-lightsaber-chopsticks-p-1383.html, for example).

I can only leave the site like this for a minutes before I have to roll it back.

Again, greatly appreciating the help here!

toshichris · January 9, 2010

Had to roll back. So close!

I'm thinking it is an .htcaccess problem. I'm running OSCommerce 2.2. My .htcaccess file is in this directory: "/includes/.htcaccess".

Per FWR's suggestion, I have the "RewriteBase /" set.

Or am I off base? It did successfully change "http://www.hollywoodheroes.com/product_info.php?products_id=1383" to this "http://www.hollywoodheroes.com/star-wars-yoda-lightsaber-chopsticks-p-1383.html", but that new-and-improved link lead to a 404.
