Ultimate SEO URLs for Zen Cart

New Installation Instructions

Copy files from `_zen_cart_folder` to your Zen Cart install
Open your Zen Cart file `includes/application_top.php` and find the following code around line 355:
require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $template_dir_select . $_SESSION['language'] . '.php'); // include the extra language translations include(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'extra_definitions.php');

And replace with: require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $template_dir_select . $_SESSION['language'] . '.php'); // include the extra language translations include(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'extra_definitions.php'); // Ultimate SEO URLs v2.100 require_once(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'seo.url.php'); if (!is_object($seo_urls)) { $seo_urls = &new SEO_URL($_SESSION['languages_id']); }
Open your Zen Cart file `includes/functions/html_output.php` and find the following function at the top:
//// // The HTML href link wrapper function function 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, $https_domain; if (!zen_not_null($page)) { die('</td></tr></table></td></tr></table><br /><br /><strong class="note">Error!<br /><br />Unable to determine the page link!</strong><br /><br />'); } if ($connection == 'NONSSL') { $link = HTTP_SERVER; } elseif ($connection == 'SSL') { if (ENABLE_SSL == 'true') { $link = HTTPS_SERVER ; } else { $link = HTTP_SERVER; } } else { die('</td></tr></table></td></tr></table><br /><br /><strong class="note">Error!<br /><br />Unable to determine connection method on a link!<br /><br />Known methods: NONSSL SSL</strong><br /><br />'); } if ($use_dir_ws_catalog) $link .= DIR_WS_CATALOG; if (!$static) { if (zen_not_null($parameters)) { $link .= 'index.php?main_page='. $page .

And replace with: //// // Ultimate SEO URLs v2.100 // The HTML href link wrapper function function zen_href_link($page = '', $parameters = '', $connection = 'NONSSL', $add_session_id = true, $search_engine_safe = true, $static = false, $use_dir_ws_catalog = true) { if (!isset($GLOBALS['seo_urls']) && !is_object($GLOBALS['seo_urls'])) { include_once(DIR_WS_CLASSES .

Open your Zen Cart file `admin/categories.php` and find the following code around the top:
$action = (isset($_GET['action']) ? $_GET['action'] : '');

And replace with: $action = (isset($_GET['action']) ? $_GET['action'] : ''); // Ultimate SEO URLs v2.100 // If the action will affect the cache entries if (preg_match("/(insert|update|setflag)/i", $action)) { include_once(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'reset_seo_cache.php'); }
Open your Zen Cart file `admin/product.php` and find the following code around the top:
$action = (isset($_GET['action']) ? $_GET['action'] : '');

And replace with: $action = (isset($_GET['action']) ? $_GET['action'] : ''); // Ultimate SEO URLs v2.100 // If the action will affect the cache entries if (preg_match("/(insert|update|setflag)/i", $action)) { include_once(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'reset_seo_cache.php'); }
Edit or create the file `.htaccess` in your Zen Cart catalog folder and add the following (replace /shop/ with the relative web path of your catalog):
