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


Recommended Posts

I am using this contribute (v2.2d10) and osCommerce 2.2, I wonder how I can change the URL like paths with category and subcategory names. I mean without the string "-c-XXX". I want to display the URL like so:

http://www.example.com/category_name.html

or

http://www.example.com/category_name/subcategory_name.html

You can't.

For my need to change the titles of my products to more relevant keywords, since it will change my url do you recommend that as I do this I delete the old url's from webmaster tools so I don't have a million duplicate pages indexed? I'm trying to figure out my best options because I know I have to do it, my product names are lame and won't get me the traffic I need. Thanks Jack!

I suggest you install the latest version of Ultimate SEO V2.2d and then check if the previous url's are redirected and a 301 issued. You can use the tool on my site to do that but there are others around. If they are redirected and a 301 issued, you're done. If they are not and you want to save those links, you should add redirect code to the .htaccess file so whatever progress the current links have made in the listings is saved. If the links are listing well or there are just a few, I wouldn't bother with them.

Hi, Jack.

 

I have installed the Ultimate SEO v2.2d10 yesterday, it is so great! The problem of -c-0_134_256.html and -p-0.html has been solved, thank you for your great work!

 

I have added a new page for my website: http://www.epathchina.com/quick_find.php

When I click the link like that:

http://www.epathchina.com/China-Wholesale/Ultra-Thin-Pmp-Player-Tags-96.html

The rewrite can work well.

But when I click the link like that:

http://www.epathchina.com/China-Wholesale/All-In-One-Car-Dvd-Tags-2.html

The rewrite can't work any more.

 

It is very strange that when the number after '-Tags-' is more that 9, the rewrite can work well, when less than 10, the rewrite can't work any more.

 

Here is my .htaccess

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-(.*).html$ product_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-c-(.*).html$ index.php?cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-m-(.*).html$ index.php?manufacturers_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-pi-(.*).html$ popup_image.php?pID=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-t-(.*).html$ articles.php?tPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-a-(.*).html$ article_info.php?articles_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-pr-(.*).html$ product_reviews.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-pri-(.*).html$ product_reviews_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-i-(.*).html$ information.php?info_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-links-(.*).html$ links.php?lPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-Tags-([0-9]+).html$ quick_find.php?tags_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-Tags-Categories-([0-9]+).html$ quick_find.php?categories_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /notfound.php?$1 [L]

ErrorDocument 404 /notfound.php

 

Please help and give me some advise. Thanks for your time!

I can see the first link on the quick find page but not the second. Perhaps it isn't a valid link? You should turn Ultimate SEO off and verify the link works in standard mode.

Hi Jack,

 

Thanks for your quickly reply!

 

When I turn off the Rewrite, it can work very well.

When I change the '-Tags-' to '-Tag-' or '-w-', it also can work well, I have tried many times.

 

If you need, I can send my source code to you for the test.

The text in the url shouldn't make a difference unless that name doesn't exist. There's no -w- in the code so if that is in the link, that is the problem. Perhaps the name of that item is confusing the code. Rename it to something simple, like test,and try again.

Then you've made a mistake in the installation somehow since that function is definately in the file.

What's the "address?" Also, if you expect help, you need to follow the instructions in the install file.

No, free support is limited to general questions in this support thread. But, to be honest, if you can't get this contribution installed correctly, I wouldn't suggest attempting installing Header Tags SEO since its installation is mucm more involved. If you do though, be sure you make backups first.

I'm pretty new to oscommerce, but the install for the ultimate seo urls seemed pretty straight forward. Followed the install instructions step by step. Everything seems in place but when I log into my admin I don't see the SEO URLS under the CONFIGURATION the way the install sheet says I should. I'm about to just reinstall, but wanted to see if anyone had any input. I'm on a linux server, mysql 5 database and php 5. Any input is appreciated.

You have to refresh your home page so the database gets updated.

I installed Ultimate SEO URLs v2.2d without any problems and it seems to work well with the default settings. There is, however, one part that has stopped working since I've installed this and that is the Product Review section. When you click on Product Reviews it says, "Page not found". The URL does end with the suffix ".html%22". Any ideas on how to fix this? I did copy the text into .htaccess as instructed and everything else seems to work ok. Product reviews did work before this.

You uninstall it by reversing the steps to install it. Then go into admin->Configuration->SEO URLs and click on the uninstall option to remove the database changes.

Turn off this contribuion and make sure that link works. If it does, post the required information as spelled out in the installation guide.

Yes, it is possible but is not a simple change. The code and the .htaccess file both need to be changed.
