MagickWomyn Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I'm looking to find a SEO URL contribution that works with the latest snapshot of OSC. I also need it to work with Header Tags. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Any help is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagickWomyn Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 (edited) Ultimate SEO gives the best results, in my opinion. Jack I've been reading through the support forum and see that there appears to be a problem with the latest snapshot ( 06082006) & Ultimate SEO. The idea seems to be to revert to an older snapshot (05132006) of OSC to gain the SEO Urls. I have tried to set up the latest snapshot and Ultimate SEO on my local test server using Xampp. No joy. I can use the older vanilla snapshot with it. So I should have the http.conf and .htaccess configured properly. I would prefer to use the newer snapshot for the security updates and the contribs I have installed. Is there a solution to this or will I have to revert to the older snapshot? What sort of security problems will this cause? Thanks for any assistance! Edited March 13, 2007 by MagickWomyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggy Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I have mod rewrite enabled and it appears to be working on the older snapshot. PHP5? Ultimate SEO 2.1d? Iggy Quote Everything's funny but nothing's a joke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, I don't use the lastest "fixes" that get uploaded. use the latest version by Chemo and it will work fine, at least, I've never had an issue with it and have installed it in many shops.

Jack Jack's right on it there. Ultimate SEO URLs 2.2.2 works fine with PHP4 and 5. I haven't been able to get 2.1d working with PHP5 (yet :) 2.2.2 should work on any 2.2 version of osC you have given that mod_rewrite is doing its thing properly. Hope that helps a bit, Iggy Edited March 13, 2007 by Iggy Quote Everything's funny but nothing's a joke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagickWomyn Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Thanks for the help. I think I finally found Chemo's 2.1d version. Posted by Yesudo 25 Nov 2006. I had to add the fix by Randelia posted 07112005. I'm not sure if I need to add the fix for redirect by Beckett yet. So far it seems to be working correctly. I've noticed that the category name isn't displaying even though it's enabled in admin. I'm headed back to the forum to solve that problem. As for Version 2.2...... I'm not sure about trying that one. I finally got one version to work and don't want to press my luck. :-" Thanks again for the assistance!

That's the problem I'm having with PHP5 and 2.1d; category names are truncated (c-1.html for example) while prod names work fine. Haven't been able to suss it yet but if you do let me know :) Iggy Quote Everything's funny but nothing's a joke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagickWomyn Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 I'm trying to get the category name to display at the front of the product url. It's enabled in admin. On mouseover of category the name shows. It's not added to the product url for some reason. Any ideas about how to cure this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagickWomyn Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 I'm not using PHP5. Maybe I'll try it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagickWomyn Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 I tried the update for PHP5. That didn't work either. I've been testing the install. The only thing that doesn't work right is adding the categonry name to the product url. I'm searching the forum for any clues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
