SSU stands for Simple SEO URL.
What this mod does:
1. Converts most if not all ZC created links into User Friendly links (no more query string like ?main_page=index&cPath=blah) Several link examples:
a contact us:
site.com/contact_us (or site.com/contact_us.ext where ext is the extension you choose)
a product info page:
site.com/bracelets-c-1_2/fashion-silver-p-9
It works for any module that uses ZC's function to create links.
As of version 3.6.0+ SSU can remove all the identifiers and ids from links automatically. It is also capable of creating a “fake” category structure. An example
store.com/cars/toyota/corrola (cars and toyota are category and sub-category while corrola is the product)
301 redirection: redirects all old-style links to seo links.
* Usually in ZC, a product_info link can contain both cPath and products_id. However, if the cPath is incorrect or is not there, ZC doesn't care at all, it still displays the page just fine. SSU will redirect the users to the correct link (by finding out the correct cPath of the product). In case of linked products, SSU also takes this into account as well.
Starting from 3.2+, SSU provides a full blown multi-language support solution for site that uses more than 1 language, your links will now look like this:(with multi-language enabled in admin)
http://site.com/en/link_with_english_names
http://site.com/fr/link_with_french_names
You can also write your own name parser for your language and simply plug it in.
Starting from 3.2+, SSU provides a way to include the name of articles, news, … or any thing you can think of. Simply write a small plugin and you are good to go.
An exciting feature, it allows store owners to create “aliases” of their current links, a very good example is:
