Thank you very much @Jack_mcsand @raiwa for supporting oscommerce !!

hi works like a charm. I was waiting for this.

there is only one minor issue. when go from manufacturer to the product you lose the manufacturer. it is not in the link and not on the breadcrumbs it goes to category

is this normal behavior.

Edited February 18, 2020 by hungryfrank

Jack_mcs · February 18, 2020

As far as this addon is concerned, yes, that is how it should work. As far as the basic shops code, I think it is normal. I can't recall ever seeing code where the manufacturer id was added to the url of a product, though I may be wrong.

That Is for the Header Tags SEO addon which, I assume, you have not installed.

Rosyweb · February 28, 2020

Jack, thanks for the answer. I'll add on that one.

I'm having problems getting this to work correctly on my live site.

On my test site (where files are identical) all is fine.

When I transfer it over to my live site - it just results in a blank page. Basically when you look at code source it just has 1. then nothing. So the code is broke from the point where it's introduced into application_top.

Copies over all files from test site - so identical. The admin files and seo.class and the file reset_seo_cache.php copy over ok, i.e. do not break the site - although SEO URLs title is not appearing under configure in the admin side of the site.

When I add it into application_top and includes/functions/html_output.php then the code breaks.

I'm on for both the test site and live - Bootstrap v2.3.4.1 CE and php 7.1.

.htaccess now looks like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#.htaccess ros

#Redirect 301 mysite.co.uk http://www.mysite.co.uk

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mysite.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

ErrorDocument 404 /404.shtml

#rewrite
#RewriteEngine On (enables the rewrite engine)
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http://mysite.co.uk [NC,OR]
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.co.uk [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mysite.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301,NC] (send the redirect to this)

<Files 403.shtml>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Files>

deny from 65.19.141.114

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas where else I can look for a reason why the same files uploaded to my live site that do work on my test site, don't work on the live site?? What other settings should I check?

many thanks!

But not /test2/ just / for my live site

Jack_mcs · March 6, 2020

@RosywebI suggest changing your .htaccess file to what I show below. But before you do that, for the live server, remove all of the entries for this addon and see if your site will load. If it doesn't, then the problem is either in the application_top or html_output file changes. Those have not changed for many years for the most part so it is unlikely the code itself is at fault. You may have copied something wrong, like missing a closing bracket or something like that.

Thank you Jack.

Unfortunately it didn't work.

I'm now using the .htaccess as above. The site all works fine when I take off the add ins.

Works fine in fact when I add everything back in from SEO URL's contribution until

application_top
and
includes/functions/html_output.php

are put back in. I'm using the exact same files for these that work on my test site. When these go back in the code simply breaks.

Could something server side be affecting this?

Or is the clue in, that before I add back to application_top and html_output.php the site works with the admin additions put in, but the link to SEO URL is not appearing under configure.

Although I have checked and checked the files in the admin folder:

includes/classes/seo.class.php
admin/includes/reset_seo_cache.php

both uploaded correctly.

admin/categories.php
admin/includes/functions/general.php

both identical to the ones working on my test site.

Anything else to check that may not be compatible with the new code?

Be sure that you are uploading the files from the Not_Phoenix directory. Also, is SEO URLs now showing in the admin->Configuration section? If so, try turning the top setting off and then upload the files to see if it still fails. If none of that helps, try uploading the files in the previous version of this addon (_18).

Rosyweb · March 6, 2020

Ok - will try the above.

Rosyweb · March 6, 2020

Thank you Jack. I'd inadvertently uploaded the 2 upload files

includes/classes/seo.class.php
admin/includes/reset_seo_cache.php

from the wrong folder - onto my live site. Everything else was correct! It works now - Yipee!

thanks for all your help!

Jack_mcs · March 7, 2020

Sounds like a mistake I would make. Glad to hear you got it going.

Awesome it works dear.. Thank you so much

I'm sorry, I'm having another problem with this now.

On my live site, when Enable SEO URLs is on, when you navigate to anywhere via the navigation, we're getting:

Quote

The page isn’t redirecting properly

An error occurred during a connection to www.mysite.co.uk.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

If I just link straight to a product from the home page, i.e. a special - all is ok. When I turn Enable SEO URLs to false - all is fine again navigating the site.

Any idea where I can look, or what I can set to get rid of this?

It's Bootstrap v2.3.4.1 CE Php 7.1

thanks!

Jack_mcs · March 9, 2020

Your previous reply said it was working. Is it that you didn't notice this problem or was it working and now doesn't? One thing you can try is turn off all of the settings except for the first one to see if that helps.

Rosyweb · March 9, 2020

I think it was working fine, well I hadn't seen any problems. Then someone told me about the problem today, they found from a different computer and they were right it was doing this also on my pc.

I've just fiddled with the settings - tried to change Reset SEO URLs Cache to Reset, but it keeps defaulting back to false. Then looked again at the live site and the problem seems to have disappeared for now??!! Not sure if this cleared some cache and if the problem will return again later - but its working again for now. I'll keep an eye on it.

Jack_mcs · March 9, 2020

That's how it is supposed to work. When you set it to true, it runs the code to clear the cache and then resets the setting to false. So it sounds like clearing cache took care of the problem.

Rosyweb · March 9, 2020

OK, that makes sense. So should I perhaps not enable i.e. categories cache - to stop it building up the cache stored? If this created a problem?

Jack_mcs · March 10, 2020

There shouldn't be a problem using the cache options. I think the problem may have been caused by the previous mistakes you had. Keep an eye on it and if happens again you can turn the cache options off.

Rosyweb · March 10, 2020

Ok thanks Jack!
