This shows the code in this addon is working. I'm assuming you tried clicking around the shop prior to the installation but if you didn't, go to admin->Configuration->SEO URLs and turn it off. Then try loading the page to make sure it works. If you know the page loads without this addon enabled, then my guess is that you need to enable the mod_rewrite in your xampp setup.

[hugo_064]

Thank you jack for information

i turn off the addon and site work fine.

url  of tomato : "phoenixorg/product_info.php?products_id=5"

and real product page

After verification the xamp mod_rewrite is enable.

i reset seo cache and turn on the addon but same result

url : "phoenixorg/tomatoes-p-5.html"

white page and error 404

i don't know what to do...

thank you

 

[hugo_064]

Ok it's good

i found the solution in the standard install

404 Error
This is the most common problem and is almost always due to having the path set incorrectly in the .htaccess file. To see if this is the problem, go to your site. If it has a url like http://some_domain.com/, then your shop is located in the root of your account. If it has a url like http://some_domain.com/another_name/, then your shop is located in the "another_name" sub-directory. Using this information, open your .htaccess file and find the line that reads

RewriteBase /

If your shop is located in the root directory, as determined with the above test, then the above line is correct. But if your shop is located in some other directory, then change the above line to

RewriteBase /another_name/

 

Thank you Jack for your time

 

[LeeFoster]

Got this installed and working, but I want my URL's to look different.

Instead of 

Quote

http://127.0.0.1/360v3/fruit-lemons-p-2.html

I'd like 

Quote

http://127.0.0.1/360v3/fruit/lemons

How would I make this happen?

[Jack_mcs]

You can't with this addon. You can try SEO 5, though it doesn't do that exactly either.

Forgive my ignorance, but, could the rewrite rule just not be changed?

[Jack_mcs]

No, the code does some formatting of the url.

Can the code be amended to change the formatting? Happy to look into it myself if it is possible.

I would say it is not possible because the product and category IDs are mandatory for it to work.

 

SEO URL5 can't do this neither. The only SEO URL AddOns which do this are as far as I know:

SEO-G
which is not updated and maintained any more and will not work with Phoenix

SEO Friendly Urls - a new approach
Which probably need some update or not. But the author still maintaines it.

Thanks @raiwa this would be my preferred approach. I'll see if I can find a support thread and see if the original dev has any intent on updating for Phoenix.

[Jack_mcs]

A new version has been uploaded with these changes:

• Added a hook for the application_top change so that that change is no longer needed (Phoenix only). Provided by @raiwa.
• Removed all remaining definitions in the class file.

For any shop, to upgrade just upload the seo.class.php file. For Phoenix shops, if you want to use the new hook, you will need to remove the change for this addon in includes/application_top.php.

 

[Jack_mcs]

For Phoenix user, the following change is needed to prevent a warning. In includes/classes/seo.class.php, replace this code (at line 786)

    if ( (SEARCH_ENGINE_FRIENDLY_URLS == 'true') && ($search_engine_safe == true) ) {

with this

    if ( (defined('SEARCH_ENGINE_FRIENDLY_URLS') && SEARCH_ENGINE_FRIENDLY_URLS == 'true') && ($search_engine_safe == true) ) {

Hi there.

the "Enter special character conversions " option is not working at all for me on a Phoenix 1.0.5.0 shop . Anyone else with this problem?

 

Best regards,

It works for me.

I'm now on 1.0.6.0 and it has worked on all previous Phoenix versions.

found something else aswell on PHP7.2

Warning: Use of undefined constant SEARCH_ENGINE_FRIENDLY_URLS - assumed 'SEARCH_ENGINE_FRIENDLY_URLS' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /home/naturhigia/public_html/loja/includes/classes/seo.class.php on line 786

[Jack_mcs]

Please scroll up a few posts for the fix.

[artfulweb]

Hi Jack,

Noticed in my error logs the following:

Use of undefined constant CHARSET - assumed 'CHARSET' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /xx/xx/xx/xx/includes/classes/seo.class.php on line 1824

which is :              

  if (CHARSET == 'utf-8') {
 

[Jack_mcs]

I checked the logs of different sites, using different versions of oscommerce and php but I don't see that for any of them. CHARSET is defined in english.php, or whatever your language is. Maybe it is missing from your shop?

It is defined in english.php and french.php so I do not understand. Using PHOENIX 1.0.5.0.

I found the same in my logfiles:

error log:
PHP Warning:  Use of undefined constant CHARSET - assumed 'CHARSET'

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

This error was initiated by a bot / hacker with a couple of te next  urls :

access.log:
[06/May/2020:14:55:04 +0200] "GET /somebrand-m-429.html?ceid=kj1oe5oi9m948qfga4evf5dt2f&pHFd%3D8021%20AND%201%3D1%20UNION%20ALL%20SELECT%201%2CNULL%2C%27%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%22XSS%22%29%3C%2Fscript%3E%27%2Ctable_name%20FROM%20information_schema.tables%20WHERE%202%3E1--%2F%2A%2A%2F%3B%20EXEC%20xp_cmdshell%28%27cat%20..%2F..%2F..%2Fetc%2Fpasswd%27%29%23 HTTP/1.0" 200 9791 "-" "Opera/9.12 (Windows NT 5.0; U; ru)"

seems this url takes the system down and CHARSET cannot be found. ?

This seems to me a hack-attempt ... Probably a script-kiddy bet maybe @Jack_mcs can explain better.

Are you getting the notice in both languages? Are you using a new version of  this addon? It might be the last hook that was added. Try using the previous version. You will have to remove the hook file and add the code to the application_top file.
