ULTIMATE Seo Urls 5 - by FWR Media


Recommended Posts

I'm sorry, but I have to come with another question:

 

I use the additional images contribution for my shop and some pictures are stored in very deep paths. Fields in the SQL-Database for pathnames to these pictures have a size of 255 characters. So sometimes the correct href to one of these images could be like

href="http://www.mystrangeshop.cz/images/products/camping/chladc-boxy-a-taky/chadc-taky/Picnic_Cooler_28Ll.jpg"

 

Whenever a reference is as long as this, Seo Urls 5 produces the following link:

href="http://www.mystrangeshop.cz/article_info.php" (I have no such file "article_info.php" in my system!!)

 

As soon as I switch Seo Urls 5 off, I get the correct links again.

 

Shorter links work without problems:

href="http://www.mystrangeshop.cz/images/products/spac-pytle/dtsk/fusion_X_Juniorl.jpg"

 

Is there any possibility to change the maximal length for these links in Seo Urls 5?

 

 

Thanks for reading this

With any of the seo url contributions there are markers that cannot be replicated in products or categories or images .. the normal ones are

 

-c-

-p-

-m-

-pi-

-pr-

-pri-

-t-

-a-

-i-

-n-

-nc-

-nri-

-nra-

-links- (bad one this as it is a real word)

 

If these exist in any uri the contribution will redirect to the relevant page.

 

E.g. in your example it has -a- this will be targetted as a link from the articles contribution and will be redirected to article_info.php.

 

A general good rule is for filenames to use underscores my_file.php / my_image.jpg and for hyphens - to be left for the seperation of uri text.

Thanks a lot for your help again.

I didn't know, there are special markers. That's why my idea was "length limit".

 

After renameing some pathnames for my images everything works great. In the additional images contribution I also had to make a little change, to make it build pathnames whithout the Seo Urls special markers.

 

Btw. I would really like to test your new Pro version, because my czech/german shop would improve very much by the new features. If I understand it right, I need a local pc test server and have to install apache, php, mysql and maybe something more. Is it possible to use my everyday-working-windows-pc for that or do I need two PCs?

 

Have a nice sunday

You can use your every day pc.

 

When I do it I build the individual packages but is far far easier to use one of the free pre built packages like ..

 

NuSphere TechPlatform

 

Wamp

 

Xampp

I added the link manager II contribution and it seems to be affected by Ultimate SEO in that the new categories of links URL gets a page not found error with the FWR media error message page not found

 

Can you advise?

 

Is there a site to view or at least the full link that is showing page not found please.

Minor bug fix:

 

Thanks to PerfectPassion( TomH ) for finding and solving this.

 

includes/modules/ultimate_seo_urls5/abstracts/aDatamap.php

 

Find ..

 

      $link_text = preg_replace( "@[\s\v]+@", '-', $link_text );

 

Replace with ..

 

    if ( PHP_VERSION <= '5.2.3' ) {
     $link_text = preg_replace( "@[\s]+@", '-', $link_text );
   } else {
     $link_text = preg_replace( "@[\s\v]+@", '-', $link_text );
   }

 

PHP 5.2.4 upgraded the version of PCRE to 7.2 prior to which \v doesn't work.

This is one of the links with error:

 

http://www.extramusical.com/catalog/links.php?&lPath=0_1

 

Well that's a bad link

 

?&lPath=0_1

 

Should be ..

 

?lPath=0_1

 

Once you have solved that you may also want to change a setting in

 

includes/modules/ultimate_seo_urls5/modules/Usu_Links2.php

 

As standard USU5 suppresses underscores _ for seo reasons, if you really need the underscores .. find ..

 

private $suppress_underscores = true;

 

Change to ..

private $suppress_underscores = false;

Good evening Robert,

 

thanks for your links to some server software disributions.

I'll start to build up my local server as soon as possile.

 

But in this moment I have to solve another problem:

 

How can I access the main catalog page with Seo Urls 5 enabled?

The adress is "http://www.mystrangeshop.cz/index.php?cPath=0"

 

When I switch off Ultimate Seo Urls 5 users can easyly reach that page by selecting "catalog", the top-entry in the catalog-list.

With Seo Urls they run into an "Page not found" error page .

 

 

Thanks again for your great support

Manfred

cPath=0 will create a page not found if there is not category = 0 (which of course there isn't)

 

This is unique coding on your site so I find it hard to advise, why is there a cPath=0? why not just use http://www.mystrangeshop.cz/index.php to view the front of your site?

Maybe I made something wrong, when I started to build the shop. I created some categories and since the beginning there has always been a welcome-page "http://www.mystrangeshop.cz/index.php" and a parent-page of all categories "http://www.mystrangeshop.cz/index.php?cPath=0".

It looks like other categorypages, when they contain many subcategories. I thought it was standard in every OsCommerce shop and since I made many beautiful symbols for each category, it looked very nice. Isn't such a page in your shop too, when you switch off Seo Urls?

 

I can show you an online-example: "http://www.uk-mobilestore.co.uk/index.php?cPath=0"

 

Anyway may be you have an idea for a workaround in Seo Urls just for this single page.

 

Thanks

Manfred

Manfred although osCommerce will show all parent categories when cPath=0 it is a hack and a bad one for seo .. why? because all the categories become 0_XX

 

An example on your site ..

 

Laptops become index.php?cPath=0_212

 

Laptops can also be accessed as their real uri index.php?cPath=212

 

This is duplicate content as far as Google (and friends) is concerned and will harm your seo.

hi there,

 

i have successfully installed the ultimate seo urls 5 contribution. GREAT CONTRIBUTION BTW!

 

i have one problem, i sell t-shirts and one of the categories is call 'offensive t-shirts' the problem is that the address is showing up as:

 

www.example.co.uk/offensi-tshirts-c-35.html and is missing the last part of the word offensive off.

 

i think its because of the letter V.

 

can anybody help me resolve this?

 

thanks in advance

dan

Thank you very much for your explanation. I didn't know it would make duplicate content.

I'll better try to build an extra page that looks like cPath=0

 

Thanks again

Hi.

 

I was going to install the SEO database using the installer file but I have encountered some errors.

 

* At least one of the configuration values already exists!

* Tables look good to insert.

* No tables to alter it seems.

* No fields to insert it seems.

* No fields to alter it seems.

 

There was at least one error, we therefore cannot install.

 

Database XXX has not been touched.

 

Please check database XXX against the contribution for conflicts.

 

I have installed SEO old series 2 by Chemo's database before but I didnt use it. All my php files are clean. Besides that, I also deleted the seo_url configuration group from the database but still the error appears.

 

Please help me to clarify which database tables needed to be delete.

 

Please help me on this.

Hi.

 

Is the any way to remove the product id from the url?

 

for example the current url: http://www.xxx.com.au/canon-eps-black-laser-toner-p-503.html.

 

How do I remove the p-503?

 

Thanks

 

Hi Henry

 

You can't the -p-503 dictates the products_id.

I installed the ULTIMATE Seo Urls 5 and enabled it but now all my pictures, links are all broken, what do I do? Did I do something wrong?

 

Thanks

 

If your images are broken after installing USU5 then you are probably using tep_href_link incorrectly within tep_image like ..

 

tep_image( tep_href_link( DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'myimage.jpg' ) );

 

Or as plain html like ..

 

<img src="<?php echo tep_href_link( DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'myimage.jpg' ); ?>">

 

Whereas the correct method is to pass the relative path like ..

 

tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'myimage.jpg');
