Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
I already have the DSEFU mod, is there any benefit of switching to this mod?
Thanks. |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
Those ToDos all sound good. One additional thing:
-Verify that url being visited is a legit url, otherwise redirect to the legit url (to prevent duplicate content if someone changed a product title) -Make lower-case urls optional in admin Regarding sending bots to 401 for printable, I've tested the redirection by flagging myself as a bot, it works fine in my tests, no loop. Unless you're talking about more of a situation such as "the bot got redirected to the origin page, and tried to visit the print page again" type of thing, but that won't happen either, because if the bot is detected, the Print/Sort links are written differently for bots (if you're a bot, you will NOT see a Print/Sort url in the page content, the print/sort flags are removed, so the only time you would be redirected is if you followed some external link) Good thought about the nofollow, noindex. That should be simple to implement, similar to the TITLE tag insertion |

Intel - Thanks for this!!!
If using 4.0.18, do we need to apply the following patch? Code:
INSERT INTO xcart_modules (module_name, module_descr, active) VALUES ('XC_SEO','This module rewrites your website urls for Search Engine optimization.','Y');INSERT INTO xcart_config (name,comment,value,category,orderby,type,defvalue) VALUES ('xcseo_keyword_injection','Specify a keyword to inject into rewritten urls','','XC_SEO',10,'text','');INSERT INTO xcart_languages (code,name,value,topic) VALUES ('US','module_descr_XC_SEO','This module rewrites your website urls for Search Engine optimization.','Modules');INSERT INTO xcart_languages (code,name,value,topic) VALUES ('US','module_name_XC_SEO','XC SEO','Modules');INSERT INTO xcart_languages (code,name,value,topic) VALUES ('US','option_title_XC_SEO','XC SEO options','Options');INSERT INTO xcart_languages (code,name,value,topic) VALUES ('US','opt_xcseo_keyword_injection','Specify a keyword to inject into rewritten urls','Options');If so, 1. Where do we do this? 2. Do we do it before installation or after installation? |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
@ecommerce: my pleasure ;-)
Regarding the SQL patch, the SQL that you just referenced SHOULD be in the install documentation. Yes, that SQL needs to be executed (once) to ensure that XC SEO is installed into your X-Cart database. Be sure to follow the steps in the install docs, and refer back to this thread for the current Froogle fix. (on page 2 I believe) @mrkenzie: I apologize, I missed your post. Another user has already switched from DSEFU to this mod, but I would not recommend switching just yet, otherwise users & search engines may experience issues accessing your products/categories (or they may even encounter duplicate content). in the near future, I'll implement support for users migrating from the other SEO modifications, I'd suggest that you wait until then, so that you don't lose any PR for your site |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
Will this mod in any way slow down the website?
If I donwload the addon today, do I still need to apply the patch for 4.0.18? |
Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released
As of the current release, 1.1.1, the install instructions are accurate, with the exception of the Froogle modification (which means you can ignore posts about the SQL patches being wrong). Please refer to page 2 of this thread for those details.
The installation instructions will tell you to apply 4 or 5 SQL commands, just follow the instructions and you should be fine. Regarding the speed of websites, please check the first post to see sites that are running this modification. In my experience, any speed decrease is negligible. |

Re: [MODULE] XC SEO v1.1.1 Released
Intel352 i have tried this on a unix server http://www.system-maintenance.com/maint/home.php and is OK, then i tried it on a NT server on another one of my sites at http://www.shisha.co.uk/shopcart/home.php and i am getting a 404 error when clicking on any product item or cat. I have turned this off in the module section at the moment as i dont want to loose any sales.
When turned on you can see the full path ending in html but once clicked goes to the 404 error (Page can not be displayed) Has anyone else had this problem on a NT server ? X-Cart 4.0.19 PHP 4.3.6 MySQL server 4.0.18-nt MySQL client 3.23.49 Web server Microsoft-IIS/5.0 Operation system Windows Perl 5.006001 XML parser (expat) 1.95.6 |

The mod requires mod_rewrite which is an apache module. If you are using IIS it won't work. |
Re: [MODULE] XC SEO v1.1.1 Released
After installing this mod my catalog generator makes all my html files in 0 bytes.
Also my Embedded static pages and root static pages does not generate html or cant find them. Get "You are not authorized to view this page". On all my products I get this : Gone The requested resource /product.php is no longer available on this server and there is no forwarding address. Please remove all references to this resource. |
