Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[Feznizzle]

Conor has a mod on his site that you can purchase which will help ease the management of URIs.. Price is reasonable, and it works like a DREAM.. Worth every penny!!!

I just want to add my agreement in here with DivaVocals. I bought/installed Conor's Management Mod a few weeks ago (from here: http://dev.ceon.net/web/zen-cart/uri-mappings-manager).

Conor's mod is far and away the most useful I have had to pay for. I have only purchased a few (such as EZpop Advance, etc)... Conor's is the most finished, most professional, most goodest commercial mod out there! Everybody should go buy it... just to encourage him to keep churning out cool stuff for Zen.

Glad to see you back up and around, Conor!

Hi Conor
I installed this latest version and have it set inactive at present as I am awaiting the secure ssl.

Today I attempted to add some new products and upon hiting the 'preview' I am presented with a blank screen.... Not totally but I heave the admin headers Etc but no product info.

Checking my logs:

[22-Aug-2011 08:12:53] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Transliteration in /home/metalpix/public_html/includes/classes/class.Transliteration.php on line 57

If I un-tick uri mapping in the add new product then all works well (without uri mapping)

I thought I followed all the steps correctly. Any Idea where I should be looking?

My PHP is nil

I have a blank screen issue as well, but mine is a little different. 1st let me start by saying that I am using Godaddy as the hosting company. I installed a fresh copy of zencart1.3.9h.

I then created a custom template like I normally do and then proceeded to install CEON SEO 4.0.5, paying careful attention to rename the admin and custom template folders respectively.

I ran all of the installation checks and everything checks out ok. I added the .htaccess rule in the root directory of the web server.

I created some categories on my site and then proceeded to create a GENERAL DOCUMENT, but when I click on create, a blank screen loads where the document editor should be.

This site is a construction site and won't have any actual products for sale on it, so it is imperative that I be able to create a lot of general documents.

I can create other product types ok and the seo urls work fine with the exception the general document type.

PLEASE HELP!

Yep and let me add this for those using the Easy Populate, or Apsona ShopAdmin add-ons:

If the store uses software such as Easy Populate, or Apsona ShopAdmin, or other custom product feeds, Ceon URI Mappings Manager makes it easy to maintain the URIs, as they can be generated after products/categories are bulk-uploaded/updated.

This part alone will make this purchase worth it's weight in gold. I know that a lot of do-it-yourselfer shop owners don't want to spend money on mods or development, but sometimes you have to spend (invest) money in your stores.. This is one commercial mod that IMHO is totally worth it..

And if you think Conor's support of his FREE mods is aces (and it is..) what do you think you will get in terms of support for his paid mods?? This pales in comparison IMHO to other authors who offer free and commercial mods for Zen Cart while providing very poor support for BOTH (ie: support for free mods is almost NON-EXISTENT..)

Hi,

I have a blank screen issue as well,

then proceeded to create a GENERAL DOCUMENT, but when I click on create, a blank screen loads where the document editor should be.

Sorry about that, that's my fault.

The sample core modified file

admin/includes/modules/document_general/collect_info.php

for Zen Cart versions 1.3.9h and 1.5.0beta have a mistake in them.

4.0.6 will have corrected versions.. I'll release it shortly.

However, the solution for you is simple.

Either copy over the file from the 1.3.9g directory, or open the above file and delete line 369:

            $uri_mapping_autogen); 

So that the block becomes:

<?php // BEGIN CEON URI MAPPING 2 of 2
  echo $ceon_uri_mapping_admin->collectInfoBuildURIMappingFields();
// END CEON URI MAPPING 2 of 2 ?>

Sorry about that, simple mistake to make!

All the best..

Hi,

A new version of Ceon URI Mapping has now been released.

This is a minor update but as it is so easy to update now, all are recommended to update.


From the Revision History:

[BUGFIX] When the user was using a different language from the default and then accessed a page which had the same URI mapping for the current language and the default language, a typo meant that the software would mistakenly return to the store's default language.

[BUGFIX] Sample modified core file admin/includes/modules/document_general/collect_info.php for Zen Cart versions 1.3.9h and 1.5.0beta had a line left in it from previous versions which shouldn't have been there, corrupting the PHP file and resulting in a blank page.

[UPDATED] FAQ updated to make it clear how to fix any clashes/problems with other modules.


Version 4.0.6 can be downloaded now from the Ceon website.

It has been submitted to the downloads area and should be available there soon.


Enjoy!

All the best...

Hi,

Hi Ceon
Version mapping file to be changed to 4.0.6

Ooops, set the right version in the URI Mappings Manger edition but not the standard edition.

Sorted in the download on the Ceon site now. Will try to get the version being added to the downloads area updated.

Thanks for the heads up.

All the best..

I second that, brilliant mod - just works great!

Hi Conor, great mod.

Got a quick question though that i've failed to find an answer for. Having some minor issues with the URI rewriting, not least of which because i'm using lightttpd and not apache. Anyway i believe i have a working solution to that which in case anyone else finds useful :-

url.rewrite-once = ( 
			"^/(.*index.php.*|.*\.[a-z]{2,5}(\?.*)?$|editors/.*|imagezoom/.*|js/.*|feeds/.*|bmz_cache/.*|admin/.*|images/.*)" => "$1",
			"^/.*(\?.*)$" => "index.php$1",
			"^/.*$" => "index.php"
		)

thats my first pass at getting it working, i would prefer if i could use a $HTTP["url"] =~ conditional instead of the dummy match and a rewrite-once but that did not seem to work on my first go.

Anyway in testing this i found that the page for the pay pal ipn callbacks was not working it is /ipn_main_handler.php, looking at the logs its always called with query parameters hence my slightly modified version of the regexs from your instructions.

So to get to the point, i'm wondering if the example regexes for the .htaccess rewrites would be better rewritten

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-z]{2,5}$ [NC]

to

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-z]{2,5}(\?.*)?$ [NC]

to catch any non *.xxxxx pages other than index that get called with a query paramater. Any one see any problems with this. It should ignore product pages with SEO rewriting on even if they have a query param as they don't end in .php etc

Thanks

Robin
