[CONTRIBUTION] Ultimate SEO URLs v2.1 - by Chemo

Andreas2003 · March 17, 2010

I'm having a question regarding the "preventDuplicates"-class.

My problem is, that the titles of the pages are modified, when changing the language or changing pages in product listing:
language_en | other title => for english
language_de | other title => for german
language_es | other title => for espanol

sort_2a page_1 language_de | other title
sort_2a page_2 language_de | other title
....

But one question:

Is it possible, to move this prevention method ('sort', 'page', 'language', 'currency') behind the original title ?

For example:
other title | language_en => for english
other title | language_de => for german
other title | language_es => for espanol

other title | sort_2a page_1 language_de
other title | sort_2a page_2 language_de

Is it correct, that the sort order of the title/meta-pattern can be influenced in the function "performPCRE" ??

Then I guess, that changing these lines here maybe the right point:

   $pattern[]   = '@<title>\s*@i';
   $pattern[]   = '@<meta\s*name\s*=\s*"\s*description\s*"\s*content\s*=\s*"\s*@i';
   $pattern[]   = '@<meta\s*name\s*=\s*"\s*keywords\s*"\s*content\s*=\s*"\s*@i';
   $replace[]   = '<title>' . str_replace('-', ' | ', $this->addedMeta);
   $replace[]   = '<meta name="description" content="' . str_replace('-', ' ', $this->addedMeta);
   $replace[]   = '<meta name="keywords" content="' . str_replace('-', ', ', $this->addedMeta);

but I don't know how.

I saw, that FWR is the author of this file.

@FWR, maybe you can help me please.

Thanks in advance,

kind regards

not yet, I thought that line wouldnt be there just for fun... but I will try :)

Does not seem to work, the index is a blank page in firefox, and internal server error 500 in Internet Explorer. Is that because of the #Options +FollowSymLinks or should I look somewhere else?

I'm confused on what your problem is and what version you are using. But if you are using Ultimate SEO v 2.7, then that needs to be changed since no one is supporting it, as far as I know.

Thanks for your answer, Jack.

Yes, that's right, I'm on v2.7.

But why should I change it, when it is working correctly and giving me multi-language-URLs. I'm satisfied at this point, except for the a.m.

Robert has written this piece of code some time ago.

And I think, for the needed change only a quick look at the a.m. code is needed.

The full code of the file "preventDuplicates.php" is:

I think, that the title and the meta description is separated first and then added together with this mentioned sorting prefix / sorting separator.

Because no one is supporting it. If you want to continue using it, your'e on your own unless someone decides to help.

You need to ask him about his code.

The support topic for this is here why you are asking this question in the ultimate seo urls thread I don't know.

Does anyone have a recommendation on how to deal with the problem of inserting 301 redirects on an old site to transition to Ultimate SEO?

I have version Ultimate_SEO_URLSv22d_7 installed on a new site and it is working great and now want to install it on an existing site, but my seo guy says I need to redirect all the old product URL's.

I found this post referencing Ultimate SEO which suggests dynamically rewriting page requests that use the old format:

About half way down this page is a discussion by Gtech:

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=136032

Seach the page for the "1) Ultimate SEO is what you want. This is a great contribution and I use it myself." to jump right to it.

But I wanted a second opinion from this forum. What's the best solution to the 301 problem for a user of Ultimate SEO on an established osCommerce site?

Jack_mcs · March 20, 2010

Enable the auto redirect option in the settings and it will issue the 301.

Jack_mcs · March 22, 2010

A new version has been uploaded with these changes:

- Added check for updating configure settings to remove warnings

- Added url verification code - works for categories and products - rest is still to be done

- Added option to add cPath ID to url back in per several requests

- Fixed typo for the articles topic cache code

- Replaced eregi call in admin/categories.php

If you have a recent version of 2.2d, then you just need to upload the contents of the upload directory to upgrade to this version.

Can't help with the first problem as I don't support this version.

Re: your second problem:

Failed opening required 'includes/classes/navigation_history.php'

admin/includes/application_top.php does not include the navigation class so looks like you have overwritten the admin file with catalog/includes/application_top.php

Still David on http://www.zenetnature.fr/index.php !

If I don't add a double } at the end of your code in includes/the application_top.php, I've got this error :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /homez.332/zenetnat/www/includes/application_top.php on line 523

with my application top file :

You may want to try editing the includes/application_top.php file, per the instructions, instead of admin/includes/application_top.php.

Hi

Recently upgraded from 2.2d_7 to 2.2d_8 but the cPath variable option doesn't come up under the SEO URLs menu.

All I get are options:

Add category parent to product URLs? true

Add category parent to begining of URLs? false

For the upgrade I just copied the reset.seo.cache and seo.class from the upload dir.

Also as an aside when I try to uninstall the SEO URLs it tells me CACHE table does not exist ...

All that changed in this update was the classes/seo.class.php file. The cache table has never been changed since the contribution was released so you shouldn't be seeing such an error. Try going into admin and using the uninstall option. Then go to your shop and click on the home page, which will re-install it.

Hi Jack

I have uninstalled SEO URLs ( had to manually delete the records on the configuration table as using the UNINSTALL option would display the "1146 - Table 'xxxxxx_oscommerce.cache' doesn't exist")

So the SEO URL has now reinstalled after refreshing the page.

I have set "Add category parent to product URLs?" to true. This is for category name and ID I assume?

Anyway the cPath ID is still not being passed through with the rewritten URLs ...

Have double checked my edited files and .htaccess to match the original install instructions ...

Someone that was testing this pointed out that I uploaded the wrong file somehow. The one uploaded did not have all of the changes in, thus your problem. I have uploaded a new version. Please use the seo.class.php file from it and see if that is any better. I do aplogize for the frustration and confusion this caused.

Thanks ... now it works fine. cPath id is passed through.

There is another problem though :( ... When I disable the contribution i.e. set Enable SEO URLs to false, when I try to view a product (product_info.php) it hangs before displaying "This webpage has a redirected loop". When I enable SEO again it's fine.

My setup info:

Osc 2.2-MS2

PHP 5.2.13

Apache 2.2.15

I am also using the Product Listing Enhancements, Thumbnails & Manufacturers contrib.

I installed and the url's are changed.

But it seems that changing the settings in admin doesn't do anything.

Whatever I change everything stays the same.

I allready uninstalled and reloaded the home page and still the settings remain unfunctional.

I need to remove the category from the url.

Anny ideas?

March 23, 2010

This just does not work for me. Followed the instructions about 4-5 times and cannot see where i have gone wrong.

The urls for products show up all nice and seo'd but the page cannot be displayed.

URL: http://74.54.136.150/~whifbitz/

Heres the .htaccess which is in my public html root:
