Community Add-Ons

As pointed out by perfectpassion/tomh there was an issue with the installer where other FWR titled contributions were in place.

Thanks perfectpassion.

Version 1.0.3

Changelog:

Added code to ignore .html files if not ULTIMATE SEO LINKS. Thanks JavaRoasters.

Added code to detect if an SSL catalog.

404 then redirect did not function as required. Google seems to record the 302 from the redirect.

Validator now dies with a 404 message and a link to return to the shop.

HTML for this is in function four_o_four_die().

Please ignore the post below. I say again if others add packages to this contribution I will cease to support and update this contribution.

if a customer is logged on and the site is ssl secured a never ending redirect happens, when the customers wants to get to a category or product..

repalce the whole function "tep_validate_seo_urls" in catalog/includes/fuctions/general.php

[ADD ON] Independent SEO URL Validation

### This is not an Ultimate SEO URL package ###

Rather this is an addon to Chemos package requiring Chemos ULTIMATE SEO URLs to be installed.

Tested on:

MS2.2 - RC1 - RC2
Register globals On/Off
PHP4 - PHP5 - MySQL 4/5
Class version 2.1c - 2.1d - 2-2.2e

Note:
Development versions copied/pasted from the forums should be replaced with this version

License: Refer to standard osCommerce license.

What does it do?

A problem was identified with all versions of ULTIMATE SEO URLs that can have very negative results on indexing by search engines.

www.mysite.com/my-great-product-p-362.html ## Correct URL

Can be accessed by ...

www.mysite.com/myloadofabsoluterubbish-p-362.html ## Not so correct

or even just ..

www.mysite.com/-p-362.html ## Not so correct

The results are duplication penalties, sitemaps rejected the list goes on.

Version 2-2.2e attempted to address this but it is buggy and creates problems all of its own. Our recomendation is to use 2.1d (first 2.1d posted by yesudo 25 Nov 2006 ). This to our knowledge is the last version purely developed by Chemo and is very solid (Needs a few tweeks for strict MySQL5 and short_open_tag off).

301 Redirection:
Corrects bad links and 301 redirects to good link. (Good practice as Google will update its index acordingly)

404 Redirection:
404 redirects to index.php if the page no longer exists (e.g. a deleted category or product etc.).

This gives validation to earlier versions of ULTIMATE SEO URLS or replaces the validation function of the buggy 2-2.2e.

Simple installation:

Put a file in catalog root .. run it then delete it. Add one simple mod to application_top.php. Add a function to general.php. Turn it on in admin. Done!
