PHP Site Solutions is proud to announce the release of XC SEO version 1.4.0.

This release supports Apache, Zeus, and ISAPI.

XC SEO is a completely free alternative to CDSEO and DSEFU, and licensed under the GNU GPL v3 license.
The purpose of XC SEO is to provide Search Engine Optimization url rewrites, to add better keyword usage to your urls, and make your urls more readable as well.

Upgrading from v1.3.0 to v1.4.0 is documented in the download

Upgrade to XC SEO v1.3 from v1.2

Upload modules/XC_SEO/ to replace existing modules/XC_SEO/ folder & files

Edit .htaccess, find:

Code:

# Rewrite SEO product URL's
RewriteRule ^([^/]*/)?[^/]+-print-c-([0-9]+)-p-([0-9]+)-pr-([0-9]+)\.html$								$1product.php?printable=Y&productid=$4&cat=$2&page=$3	[QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*/)?[^/]+-c-([0-9]+)-p-([0-9]+)-pr-([0-9]+)\.html$									$1product.php?productid=$4&cat=$2&page=$3				[QSA,L]

After, add:

Code:

RewriteRule ^([^/]*/)?[^/]+-c-([0-9]+)-pr-([0-9]+)\.html$												$1product.php?productid=$3&cat=$2						[QSA,L]

And that's it, no other changes required!

will it show 404 error for our current urls in google?
is there any way we can redirect them to the new.
regards
Junaid

Hi Junaid, thanks for your question.

XCSEO Basic properly 301 redirects old URLs for you, so you do not have any 404 errors, and you will not have to manually redirect any old pages.

Cheers

testing 1.4 with 4.1.10 and getting PHP_EOL</body>

This is showing PHP_EOL on the mainpage. Assuming this is a new bug?

Thanks Jon for great product for novice like me. Very easy to install, but i noticed after the install that my splash page no longer comes up when i go to my site, and directly lands me to my home page. I was wondering what i would have to do to get it back. Thank you.

justy · #37 07-29-2008, 12:27 PM

Problems again...

While I've gotten XC SEO basic working for all http:// urls, any https:// url fails with a file not found. I notice that Cape Fear Styles website works correctly for both http:// and https:// urls.

I'll be PM Jon as well.

Has anyone successfully installed XC SEO 1.4.0 rev 60 - May 4, 2008 with X-Cart version 4.1.2? Does anyone know why the patch for 'froogle.php' and 'get_language.php' did not patch successfully?

When attempting to apply the patch 'xcseo_41.patch' with X-Cart version 4.1.2, the following information was returned:

Step 1 of 2: Testing patch applicability and generation list of files

Result of the testing phase..

auth.php OK
modules/Froogle/froogle.php could not patch
https.php OK
include/install.php OK
include/get_language.php could not patch

It is quite typical for patches not to run automatically, particularly with such old and unstable versions of x-cart.
You just have to manually patch those files. If you are not using froogle from within x-cart, you don't need to worry about that file anyway.

g053584398 · #40 09-17-2008, 08:09 AM

Thanks for that Paul. I won't be using Froogle, so that is one thing less to worry about.

Is there a tutorial on the forums for manual patching?
