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

[dw1973]

Nevermind

 

Found this http://svn.oscommerce.com/jira/browse/OSC-787

 

Which more or less explains the problem and a fix...it's a oscomemrce bug not a SEO one :)

[♥FWR Media]

Have installed v2.2d-10 and all works well apart fromo ne problem.

 

When something is added to the cart from the product list using the buy now button, then the user chooses continue shopping from the cart, all the buy now buttons retain that product id when the user is returned to that category.

 

Hope that makes sense!

 

I am still of the opinion that version Ultimate Seo Urls 2.1d STABLE FINAL r172 is still the current stable version, if you don't need the stuff that has been added to the original contribution then you could perhaps try that. I recommend USU5 as opposed to this old series 2 if you run PHP5.2+ ( see my sig ).

Yes that is correct, I reported the original problem this has been a part of the stable version for ages.

Without a url, .htaccess file and the version you are using, it is very difficult to offer help. There is a coding change for mysql in my last version as noted in the last page or two that may fix it though.

[certify]

I've installed and no errors.. except that when i click my categories or product it will just redirect back to index.php

 

You can see my demo store here.. http://www.navigationrus.com/ and just try clicking on products or categories.

 

Is there anything I did wrong? Please advice..

This is the same problem im having. When you hover over the product, the url is correct, but once clicked, it redirects to the homepage /index.php . I think im using version 2.1. Worked fine on the old server with apache 2.1 and php 5. Now that ive changed server to php 5.3 im getting this.

Im guessing you have it installed on a server with a new install of apache and php. I think its either we haven't set up our httpd.conf/php.ini/.htacces files correctly or its php 5.3 issues that might be causing it.

Are you running other sites on the same server <virtualhost>?

This is a common problem with a group of templates like the one you are using. There is probably code in there that is causing the redirection. Several fixes for this have been mentioned in this thread. This is one of them but there are others if that one doesn't apply to your template.

How to Secure Your Site

 

Pay close attention to "SECURING THE ADMIN" - Yours is vulnerable.

 

It's easier to do a few security fixes now than to clean up a hacked store later.

 

And if you don't secure the admin your shop will be hacked.

 

It's just a question of when...

What is the best stragy for this kind of migration ?

Thank You in advance

[verngren]

Hello.

 

I have the same issue with being redirected back to index.php

 

 

I have tried commenting out the part mentioned in earlier posts, and also searching for other instances of redirect scripts.. however, i cannot find anything.

ANyone who has been out for the same issue?

Is there anyone out there who would like to assist?

Switching the code isn't a problem. The problem is in how the url's are formatted. If they appear the same as Ultimate SEO writes them - domain.com/somename-c-1.html - then you can switch without any problems. But if they are formatted differently, the code probably won't catch it and you will lose your index positions for those url's. In that case, you would have to add code to the .htaccess or application_top file to catch those url's and convert them.

The problem is that the code varies with the template so no one fix can be posted.

Pretty sure this aint a template code problem as the same code worked for me once upon a time on an older server.

Hello Jack

They have different format

I'm thinking of 301 redirect via .htaccess

and I'm wondering if there will be performance issue when I put 2000 redirects

is there any way to grab it from csv and place it in cache table ?

Thank You in advance

That wouldn't help since a 301 has to be issued. Try this, untested, line in the .htaccess file (edited for your site, of course)

redirectMatch 301 ^/the_old_([^.]+)\.htm$ http://yourdomain.com/the-new-$1.htm

You could also put code in the includes/application_top.php file that catches any of the old url's, rewrites them and isues a 301.

This contribution works fine with that, any, version of oscommerce. You need to post the version of Ultimate SEO, your url and .htaccess file if you want help with such a problem.
