Thanks Dave:

I get the same output. It continues to output the url. http://uncletim.com/ccp7/ecom-prodshow/UTBB.html

I wonder if I am missing something?

I actually copied your .htaccess attempt and copied it in and then redid my HDSEO info in the program. But no difference at all.

I even deleted the existing .htaccess in the web root directory and re uploaded this new file. Still no behavior difference.

Yes SEO is turned on (true) but SID in URLs is false.

I am putting the .htaccess file in the root directory of the site.

Can you think of anything else that is getting in the way?

Thanks.

Sorry I didn't notice this earlier but there's a difference between UTBB.html and utbb.html.  You're using utbb.html in the HD SEO definitions and .htaccess but the actual URL is UTBB.html. You're on a Linux server so case matters.  Try changing either the identifier or the HD SEO definition and .htaccess so the case matches and see what you get.

Thanks for that, should have seen it.

But now when I click on the product it gives me this.
http://uncletim.com/home/uncletim/publi … /UTBB.html

I am now mixing up my absolute and relative url. This seems like a simple pathing issue.

Getting close!

My head hurts!

I think this is wrong.

RewriteRule ^ccp7/uncle-tims-building-blocks.html$ ccp7/ecom-prodshow/utbb.html [L,R=permanent]

My understanding is the first line is the default url and the second statement after the $ is the HiDef url.

It seems like it should be like this.
RewriteRule ^ecom-prodshow/utbb.html$ http://uncletim.com/uncle-tims-building-blocks.html [L,R=permanent]

That is how the manual shows it. Am I all screwed up?

If I do it like I described above, then I get a return url like this.
http://uncletim.com/ccp7/uncle-tims-bui … locks.html

But the page is empty and I get a 404 error.

Thanks for looking.

Each HD rewrite requires 2 rewrite rules in .htaccess.  One to take it from the HD name to the basic CCP SEO style and one to take it from the basic style to the HD style.  The very last rule only understands the basic SEO style. 

As shown in the 2nd screen shot on page 8 of the HD SEO manual there needs to be a rule for each direction.

Okay maybe I can make this easier.

Here is my .htaccess file. It seems to work.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^ecom-prodshow/UTBB\.html$ http://uncletim.com/uncle-tims-building-blocks.html [L,R=permanent]
RewriteRule ^uncle-tims-building-blocks.html$ /ecom-prodshow/UTBB.html
RewriteRule ^ccp7/(.*)-(.*)/(.*)\.html ccp7/index.php?app=$1&ns=$2&ref=$3 [L,PT]

When I click on
http://uncletim.com/ccp7/ecom-prodshow/UTBB.html

I go here.
http://uncletim.com/ccp7/uncle-tims-bui … locks.html

So I can live with that. But now that page is empty. (404 error).

Here is what my HDSEO program settings look like.
Clone    Update    Delete    Default SEO URL    High Definition SEO URL
Clone    Update    Delete    /ecom-prodshow/UTBB.html    /uncle-tims-building-blocks.html

So why does it could up a 404 error. If I can just get the page to render I would be happy, however I have no idea of what the page pathing needs to be to render correctly.

Is that easier to figure out?

Thanks.

Dave,

Maybe you can explain the logic behind the HDSEO url change but as I see it, it's going like this

HDSEO_url > SEO_url > Basic_url

my question is why the extra step, changing it to standard seo urls, why can't it be

HDSEO > Basic_url ?

I had it working both way in the beta tests that I did.

Hi...now I must admit, I'm only a trained monkey...I just pasted yours into my normal .htaccess file to see what didn't match.  I made it match mine.  I hope it helps.

RewriteRule ^ccp7/ecom-prodshow/UTBB\.html$ http://www.uncletim.com/ccp7/uncle-tims-building-blocks [L,R=permanent]

There isn't enough information in a HD URL to know whether or not it's for a category, product or some other page.  It has to get back to a basic SEO style rule so the last rewrite knows the correct components for things to come out correctly.

Hi Tim,

In the HDSEO manager, try removing the .html at the end of the Hi Def SEO.

The 404 indicates that the correct rewriting isn't taking place.  Obviously there are no HTML pages within CCP nor any pages without a file extension at all.  Things seem so darn close!
