I have turned it on for a little while.

It seems that the website will only work on .php files when the contribution is turned on.

How much to fix the problem?

Well it wouldn't work because -pr- is a seperator used by USU. Probably 404 die.

Exactly. I thought it was interesting though. Wonder how im going to sell the letter p now?

This newest version 1.0.3 on April 5th of this contribution, or any version for that matter, does not work with Information Pages Unlimited v2.04.4 contribution found here:

 

http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1026

 

I doesn't matter if there is a "pr" or "p", when a user clicks on the new pages added (html) the 404 redirect is hit. My url for the newly added page looks like this http://www.mysite.com/-i-7.html. Can someone please issue a fix to work with the above contribution that many of us use?

It does work with information pages, I use it on a few sites. I just had that one lil glitch when writing a page with PR in the title.

USU is broken and not adding the page name to the url. Let me guess ..

 

USU version 2-2.2e

PR would have been fine Glcustoms .. but .. Oooooh nooo you had to go all the way and add bleddy hyphens as well :rolleyes:

 

Just because you don't like Mr .htaccess doesn't mean you have to abuse him. (well actually validation killed it but .htaccess would have done if it were further down the rules)

 

:D

I am very abusive to this cart. If only the .htaccess were paper and I had a match.

Thank you for the reply. I installed the 2.1d ORIGINAL updated version that you had last submitted. I will go through the instructions again in the next couple days to see about getting this resolved.

Well there wasn't much to add in this contribution tbh and one of them was to add a function to includes/functions/general.php

Hello,

 

Just a quick question, when validation is turned on (after a clean install of SEO URLS & latest version) all my pages just timeout.

 

Help would be appreciated.

Depends what you mean by "latest version" the best version is imo 2.1d updated, 2-2.2e doesn't work.

 

Having said that validation even works with 2-2.2e as long as you read the instructions.

 

There is no reason why your pages should time out. If you can't sort it I would need a link.

I am having the same problem. Pages time out when seo urls are turned off. http://www.alltarotproducts.com

Well they will do if you still have the SEO URLs code in place.

The 500 error is nothing to do with validation it is to do with .htaccess settings for USU usually.

Agh...very frustrating :(

 

I have ULTIMATE SEO 2.1 installed

When I turn this contribution on, I get timed out errors, only index.php will work. No products or category pages will work.

I've tried to put in new seo.class.php files from the different 2.1 versions, didn't work. I tried to change my settings in SEO, didn't work. I've read through all of these pages, and seen a couple of people with the same/similar problem, some solved, but no solution posted :(

 

Link to my website is: www.stinks (THE WORD "AND" GOES HERE) things.com

However, this contrib. is turned off, so everything should work fine. The second I turn it on, I get this error (in Firefox):

 

 

The page isn't redirecting properly

 

 

 

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

 

 

 

 

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

 

I have tried everything I can think of for the past 2 hours, and nothing is working. Please help, thank you thank you!

OMG, you don't know how relieved I am right now. This should have been a simple upgrade/contrib, but it has taken me 4+ hours....

I just sat down again, went through EVERY SINGLE step of both the original SEO URL's and this contribution. the LAST thing I checked was that I copied the generals.php correctly. I deleted my work, re-copied it, and it works now! :)

Which, I don't really understand, because I never touched that after copying, but maybe I had an extra character in there or something...either way, IT WORKS! Amazing...

 

Hope this can help anyone else out there having the same problem.

 

Whew...

 

Ok, I'm done now :)

Hello! In first instance thanks to FWR Media for this great contribution but users with some languages have some problems (I have it).

 

In my case I have duplicate content because the url www.mysite.com/product-p-1.html and www.mysite.com/product-p-1.html?language=es are the same page.

 

I would like to know how I can redirect pages with ?languages=es to original product (only remove ?language=es) and pages like as product-p-1-en.html?language=en redirect to product-p-1-en.html

 

I think is very simple. I only want to remove the ?language=en and redirect to same page without it.

 

Thanks an regards!!

Well you wouldn't want validation to redirect ?language=xxx as it would redirect all of your customers.

 

What would work I think is to do a spiders check

 

if(true === $spider_flag) {
 // redirect the ?language=xxx
} else {
 // Ooops its a customer, better leave it alone
}
