Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[jagall]

Hi Conor, how are things, hope you are everything going well for you.

Just notice issue with the mapping. All my links were mapping according to to the prod/category/page name but all of a sudden they are now followed by the zenid?? not good can't understand why this has all of a sudden happened. Haven't installed anything new in the past few days. Hope you can help.

Hi Conor, okay I'll say ignore previous post as it is now back to normal only showing the url mapping and not adding on the zenid, that is very strange. I notice that while it is okay now in firefox it is showing the zenid in IE. I have cleared cookies in both browsers.

Hi Steve,

Please do send login details so I can debug the server environment.. may as well have Ceon URI Mapping cope with such broken servers, can only be good to be as compatible as possible!

If you don't want to send login details to help with this then please instead add

phpinfo(); to the source, just after:

function CeonURIMappingHandlerBase()
 {
  global $PHP_SELF, $messageStack; 

so that it becomes:

function CeonURIMappingHandlerBase()
{
global $PHP_SELF, $messageStack;
 
phpinfo(); 

And send me the output via http://dev.ceon.net/contact-us

I should then be able to work out how to cope with servers like yours without you needing to do anything yourself.

Your support would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

All the best...

I have a problem. I am currently trying to set up zencart v1.5 in a test folder. I had been using Ultimate SEO mod, but I want to switch to yours. I installed it and it works (I realize I'll have to manually change all the old product links) - HOWEVER! I was reading through this thread and saw you say that setting this up in a subfolder (with the intention of switching it over to the root dir later) is bad and will just store all the wrong links in the database because of the subdirectory - and I see that you recommend to test in a subdomain. which makes sense. SO - i just switched my zencart config files to use a subdomain instead. BUT now I can't access the admin folder, because my subdomain is not SSL - and zencart v1.5 does not allow admin access without a secure connection. How can I set up all my old links in the Ceon product mapping if I can't access the admin in the testing environment as a subdomain and can only do it as a directory?

I hope my problem makes sense...

The part I highlighted is NOT true.. You DO NOT need SSL to access the Zen Cart v1.5 admin.. Suggest heading over to v1.5 support threads and getting your base Zen Cart install all worked out first..

omg, ok in that case OOPS! - i thought i remember seeing something about that. my mistake! i'll play around more and figure it out! thanks

OK I got that all sorted out. but now my new problem is that it seems it's not recognizing the .htaccess in my /test/ dir (which i was hoping would be treated as the root for the subdomain) because i am getting 404 errors

before, i was able to put my .htaccess in the root directory and since the /test/ dir was added to the rewrite in .htaccess so it worked fine and did not interfere with my live site while testing.

however. i can't place it in the root anymore because that will throw off stuff for my live site if the .htaccess rewrite is written for a root (to work on the subdomain) instead of with the /test/ added (which wouldn't make sense if i am trying to test this in the subdomain environment)

not sure what to do about this?

correction:
the .htaccess *is* working properly where it's at.
i can create new products and the autogenerated URI works.
but i can't do the manual entry to old products like:
/product-color-p-184.html
doing that i get 404 errors...
it tries taking me to the right url but i get a 404.
(it was working before in the directory but as subdomain it has problems)
so it's only half working.

Hi,



Don't use a subdirectory for test sites.

Use a subdomain.

There's your quick answer. :)

If you search the thread you will indeed find I've said this quite a few times here.

It's the only solution I will advocate so just do ahead and move to a subdomain instead of a subdirectory. Subdirectories for test sites are unprofessional.

All the best..

If you are using a test sub-directory Conor has always said not to do it that way.

The "External link URL" doesn't work in my ezpages. I have it defined but the site is just displaying my blank ezpage without redirecting.

I'm using 3.6.3. Will upgrading to version 4 fix this?

I'm using this ezpage as a landing page, with Google Analytics parameters defined in the url, so if possible I'd like to keep it that way in order to be able to track visits.
