1.3.5 to 1.3.7 upgrade issue with Ultimate SEO

Hi

Upgrading from 1.3.5 to 1.3.7 with Ultimate SEO URLs v2.100 installed I came across an error using includes/functions/html_output.php and if possible I'd like some clarification on the implications please.

Around line 29 The original code was

 
/*
 * The HTML href link wrapper function
 */
  function original_zen_href_link($page = '', $parameters = '', $connection = 'NONSSL', $add_session_id = true, $search_engine_safe = true, $static = false, $use_dir_ws_catalog = true) {
    global $request_type, $session_started, $http_domain, $https_domain;

The new 1.3.7 code is

 
/*
 * The HTML href link wrapper function
 */
  function [b]zen_href_link[/b]($page = '', $parameters = '', $connection = 'NONSSL', $add_session_id = true, $search_engine_safe = true, $static = false, $use_dir_ws_catalog = true) {

The important diff is 'function zen_href_link'

With the 1.3.7 code the Ultimate SEO can't redeclare the zen_href_link so I've had to add 'original_' before zen_href_link to get it working.

Is this going to be a security issue or break something further down the line?

Thanks

Kev

The Ultimate SEO mod renamed that function by adding the "original_" prefix as part of its implementation ... you'll have to do similarly to continue using the mod when upgrading.

Hi. I've just upgraded from 1.3.5 to 1.3.7 without any problems except one. When I have Ultimate URL's turned on and then go to checkout I don't get sent to the HTTPS area only the HTTP version.

When I turn off the Ultimate URL's I go to HTTPS on checkout without any problem.

Have I missed something simple?

Thanks

Paul

Hope someone can help I had 1.3.6 and upgraded to 1.3.7 had Ultimate SEO turn on, all seem to work well. Only thing I noticed that I hvn't been getting spider as often as I was before when I go to Who's Online. Does anyone think that from me upgrading to 1.3.7 and Ultimate SEO not working well together??

Should I just turn off Ultimate SEO and hv it spidered without the HTML endings.

Can someone help pls.

tks

Hi all:

Has anyone gotten the Ultimate SEO contrib to work with 1.3.7? In particular, I'm using SSL on my checkout pages...it seems like this might be an issue.

I was having SSL trouble (see my earlier post). However I resolved this by re-installing to SEO mod after I performed the upgrade. This seems to have worked for me.

Hello,

I also have issue/problem with Ultimate SEO module on ZenCart 1.3.7.

Clicking on the yellow Paypal Express button gives an error:
The requested URL /ipn_main_handler.php&type=ec&zenid=ab4d6** was not found on this server (http://www.unique-gifts-jewelry.com).

I upgraded from 1.3.0.2->1.3.5->1.3.6->1.3.7. Ultimate SEO module works well but it appearently cannot locate ipn_main_handler.php.

I have posted this problem in http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=314842&posted=1#post314842 .

Dr. Byte responded saying that SEO module is preventing the ipn_main_handler.php file from being allowed to execute properly: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55742&page=2.

Has anyone solved this issue?

I was just attempting to install UltimateSEO 2.103 on a virgin (mostly) 1.3.7 install. Initially I was getting errors on one of the queries, but I replaced this:

$sql = "SELECT c.categories_id as id, c.parent_id, cd.categories_name as cName, cd2.categories_name as pName
    FROM ".TABLE_CATEGORIES." c,
    ".TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION." cd
    LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION." cd2
    ON c.parent_id=cd2.categories_id AND cd2.language_id='".(int)$this->languages_id."'
    WHERE c.categories_id=cd.categories_id
    AND cd.language_id='".(int)$this->languages_id."'";
```with this:

$sql = "SELECT c.categories_id, c.parent_id, cd.categories_name AS cName, cd2.categories_name AS pName
FROM ".TABLE_CATEGORIES." c,
".TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION." cd,
".TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION." cd2
WHERE c.parent_id = cd2.categories_id
AND cd2.language_id = '".(int)$this->languages_id."'
AND c.categories_id = cd.categories_id
AND cd.language_id = '".(int)$this->languages_id."'";

in two places in seo.url.php, and now the queries are working reasonably well.  My main issue is that when viewing categories, the category with the highest (i think) category id is being displayed as the category name in the generated url.

For instance, if my categories are "Europe" (id 4) and "Asia" (id 6) I get the following URLs:

<http://www.example.com/europe-c-4.html>
<http://www.example.com/europe-c-6.html>

Anyone having successes with this module?
