On another note though - I am getting the same problem as Andrea

I'm trying to install this mod on a newly upgraded 4.1.8 Gold site, and the SQL patches are giving me errors. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

SQL PATCH FAILED AT QUERY:
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','')

Any ideas?

PM me your site x-cart login & phpmyadmin/cpanel info, I'll check into it for you.
If you're not comfortable with that, I'll attempt a test with a fresh 4.1.8 install to see if anything breaks.

Thanks for the offer intel352, but I PM'd Andrea and she gave the solution to run the xcseo_remove.sql patch first - which I did and it all worked perfectly

may I ask, why do you wish to uninstall?

you can go into the Module settings, uncheck the module so that it is disabled. if you need completely removed, you would need to either manually run the SQL files that uninstall, or use the XC SEO Installer script to uninstall

Default Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released

I had XC SEO installed on my X-cart for over a month now. Obviously from the SEO stand point it improves significantly from the ⌠out-of-the-box■ X-cart. It even rewrites the static embedded pages, which is awesome. However as I learn more about SEO I started to think that I want more control than what XC SEO has to offer at this point. As you might know already, to optimize a site does not only involve optimizing just one or two keywords; instead, there are multiple keyword clusters. For example:

Laser printer
-HP laser printer
-Brother laser printer
-Laser printer for home
-Heavy duty laser printer

Toner cartridges
-HP toner cartridges
-Color toner cartridges
-Remanufactured toner cartridges

Above is the example of 2 clusters. Each cluster has a main keyword and some sub-keywords. On the homepage you might want to optimize for 3~4 main keywords, but as you go deeper into the site, you might have to pick a few sub-keywords and optimize those on a specific page. If we use the printer example, it doesn▓t make sense to inject ⌠color toner cartridges■ in to a page when the page is selling b/w laser printer.

That is one of the downside with XC SEO, you pick a few keywords and it injects them onto every url. Which is better than the junk that the default X-cart gives you, however it can be better. That▓s why I am thinking of switching to CDSEO instead. I haven▓t completely decided yet, since CDSEO is very expensive and I am not making any profit yet.

Anyway, that▓s the reason. So going back to the steps to uninstall XC SEO, do I just run the install.php again? Is it pretty much self explanatory once I run the file?

thanks for the explanation, i can understand and agree with what you said xc seo is intended right now to be the free alternative to DSEFU, as CDSEO definitely does give better control over url generation

pretty much, the easiest way to disable xc seo is to uncheck the module so that it's disabled, remove the custom htaccess rules, and find a way to redirect your dynamic urls to whatever location you want them to be located at now (as you can lose some page rank if you don't have 301 redirects to the "new" page locations)

you don't *need* to remove xc seo SQL and code modifications, as it won't interfere anymore with your urls

if you want it completely gone, you'll essentially need to step backwards through the install documentation that you used. assuming you used the xc seo installer, you'll need to run that again, and I believe you should have the option to uninstall (might just be reinstall though, i don't remember for certain). if it doesn't provide the option to uninstall, then you'll need to use the xc seo SQL files that were provided to remove XC SEO's changes

then you'll need to step through the code modifications to put your original code back in place


but again, all of that can be avoided by just disabling xc seo via admin and removing the rewrite rules from .htaccess
