Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
I noticed that you seem to have the "printable" pages NOT appearing for the robots. Is this to reduce the chances of "duplicate content"?
The printable and non-printable pages are different (printable is missing the nav bars, etc.), any idea how sensitive the spiders are to duplicate content, I mean, I have a lot of reused descriptions of policies, general condition, etc. on each page -- do they only get upset if the pages are truely identical, or if they are just very similar (matching text blocks)? It would seem that if they only freak on identical pages, then having the extra pages with context matching and keyword matching content (that the printable pages provide) would be a plus. Thoughts? Thanks, James |

Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
MiniG, the reason those "bots" that you employed did not see the website as a search engine, is because what determines a search engine in x-cart is the bots.php file, and the bots.php file apparently doesn't list the user agents that those search engines reported.
What that means is, while google reports itself as GoogleBot, and is detected properly by X-Cart, other lesser-known search engines won't be detected because X-Cart doesn't know of their existence. So, as Jerrad mentioned, something like gsitecrawler would work, assuming that it identifies itself as a Googlebot |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
problems..
i install all sql and change all files and not work. Not Found The requested document was not found on this server. |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
yes, again, this problem is due to either you not incorporating the needed changes into your .htaccess file, OR your server does not support mod_rewrite.
Please show us the content of your existing .htaccess file so we can verify that you modified it correctly. |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
site work with rewrite.
.htaccess Code:
DirectoryIndex home.php |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
Yep, that's the problem, you didn't modify your .htaccess file... Look at the files that you downloaded, there is a .htaccess file, please copy the contents of that .htaccess file into your existing .htaccess file.

Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
already paste my .htaccess and have your secure.htaccess
now what :s |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
.htaccess hide in different OS.
in my case i use macosx and not view .htaccess. Code:
Options +FollowSymLinks |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
There you go, that's what you needed. Sorry about OSX, wasn't aware of that.

Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
Hi intel352. Do you have any of the Rewriterules for Zeus web servers? My host does not run Apache, and while they are normally happy to add a few entries here and there, they cannot convert the .htaccess file for me. I do not have enough experience to even consider starting the task myself.

Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
Thanks Jerrad,
gsitecrawler worked like a charm (8543 unique pages found and mapped) -- wish I had known about it a week earlier! Unlike all the other sitemap generators that I tried, gsitecrawler worked with xcart and this mod -- and it was FAST and FREE -- great combo! Anyone have idea how long after submitting to google/yahoo before they reevaluate a site? James |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
Jason, I've never worked with Zeus. Does Zeus support rewriting? If it does, I can look into a solution for you. PM me with any details that you can, and I'd likely need to test on your hosting account, since I have no other testbed for Zeus.
MG, it'll take 2 weeks to 1 month before you see a change in google search results. Dunno about yahoo. Good to hear gsitecrawler worked well :-D |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released

Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
Hi,
I installed XC SEO a while ago and I am not sure which version I have installed onto my site www.sahanishop.com. Is there a way I can tell which version I have install so that I know what to upgrade to get to 1.1.5? Thanks !!! |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
This is neat. I'm looking forward to testing this in my dev lab.
|
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
tested this and i'm disappointed in my host. Seems that mod_rewrite doesn't work there. kinda mad. :(
|
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
what type of server are you hosted on? linux/apache? or windows/iis? or something different?
|
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
Cant seem to get this. When I upload everything and turn it on I get the 500 Internal error. But when I remove the large .htaccess file from the main directory then the site comes up but the links on the pages are displaying the new paths with names but I get page not found whn I click on them?
There are 2 .htaccess files in the download. The larger one in the main diectory and a smaller verion in catalog. Which do you use? When I try the larger one I get errors and when I try the catalog one in the root directory I dont get errors but the new urls dont work?? I'm confused. |

Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
Anyone else having problems with XC SEO 1.1.5 and the new Version (4.1.6) of X-Cart?
Problems as in Not Found Errors? Ok, it's stopped working on my PHP4 one, but works fine on my PHP5 one, which is a direct copy... |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
so you didn't change apache?
|
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
So I pardon what eh?
To get PHP5 to work all I had to do, so say my Host, was put a line in the .htaccess. |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
I'm very happy to report that this works great in dev, apache 2.0, php 4.3.9
Going to compile apache (latest) + php 5x. we'll see what happens. i'll report on what happened. :) |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
in 4.0.18 there is include/func.php. There is no includes/func/func.core.php. I could find the exact code as recommended in the document. I assume that making change to the code according to this recommendation would also help prevent search engines from picking up Sesson IDs when visiting X-Cart.
Wonder if other user of 4018 version do the same. III. includes/func/func.core.php =================== RECOMMENDED: The following change to "func.core.php" is recommended to help prevent search engines from picking up Sesson IDs when visiting X-Cart. This *issue* has been reported to X-Cart devs and will be fixed in the next release of X-Cart (4.1.4). NOTE: This change is for X-Cart 4.1.x series. Owners of 4.0.x, please verify if this alteration is needed. ----------- Find Code: ----------- if (!empty($XCARTSESSID) && !isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$XCART_SESSION_NAME]) && !eregi("$XCART_SESSION_NAME=", $location)) { $location .= ((strpos($location, '?') != false)?'&':'?')."$XCART_SESSION_NAME=".$XCARTSESSI D; } ------------ Replace With ------------ if (!empty($XCARTSESSID) && !isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$XCART_SESSION_NAME]) && !eregi("$XCART_SESSION_NAME=", $location) && !defined('IS_ROBOT')) { $location .= ((strpos($location, '?') != false)?'&':'?')."$XCART_SESSION_NAME=".$XCARTSESSI D; } |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
Hi,
I use X-cart 4.1.6 and I can not find the piece of code "include $xcart_dir.DIR_CUSTOMER."/referer.php";" in my auth.php file. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you, Ankki |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
I'm using BCSE's Ad / Banner Mod. The Banners it displays are clickable so I can direct customers to a specific part of my or any other site.
However, if I click on one, I get the following error: Code:

Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
Hello
Intel352, thank you very much for sharing your work. I have a small question: it is possible to have categories/manufacturers name included in product link, for example: http://www.website.com/category/product.html or http://www.website.com/category/manufacturer/product.html? Thanks |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
I installed this, followed all the instructions but now it redirects all the products to html pages and gives me a 404 page not found error, any advice?
|
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
make sure you place your .htaccess file dude.
|
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
OK here is the .htaccess file that I added the two blocks of text to from the package. My store is in the root, my .htaccess is in the root.
Code:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
uncomment: RewriteBase /
I had to do that to get rid of the 404's :( |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released

Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
I have tried with and without the commented rewritebase but same both ways, which is why i thought it must be some sub directory thing, but root is root...
Those redirect gones are the same as mine - comparing them side by side in a spreadsheet, they look similar... Took out the comments and removed these pesky single spaces at end of each line just in case, who knows, still no go. Code:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php Code:
The webpage cannot be found ***http://www.economedical.com.au/littmann-classic-ii-se-stethoscope-pr-1233.html*** |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
I see from your post that the Manufacturer, category rewrite rule are missing.
Code:
options +FollowSymLinks Try this. |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
That fixed it, those missing rewriterules arent in the .htaccess file in the zip i downloaded, and I am glad you gave em to me cos I would have been bald trying to do it myself. Thanks heaps!
