Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[conor]

Hi,

It was easy to say because it's true..

Well thanks once again/more for the nice comments, it's very nice of you to say such things and I'm very glad I can help people like yourself with software you want. :)

Heck one of these add-ons even interfered with a home page SLIDESHOW!! (Say what???)

Actually, that was probably an issue with some slideshow module not able to cope with static URIs, but yeah, hopefully Ceon URI Mapping won't interfere with other modules. :)

Going to try and find some time for coding rather than posting/e-mailing, so I'll leave it there for now and just say "have a good evening!" :)

All the best..

It was simple Flash slideshow embedded on the front page vs a slideshow module.. That particular site is the one that drove me to your module in the first place.. The odd behavior on the Flash slideshow was maddeningly annoying..

Just wanted to drop in here and publicly thank Conor for being so helpful in my efforts to get this installed correctly on my site. Above and beyond. Super appreciated. I also took advantage of the free product here: http://ceon.net/software/business/zen-cart/uri-mapping. Expect my donation!

Hi Conor (and everyone)
Google Wenmaster Tools is reporting I have many duplicates. I have posted this in the Search Engine forum but thought after re-reading the info I would check in here also. I'm just wondering after reading the following 'IF' I have a problem with my instal?

FROM THE INFO PAGE:Canonical URIs
•Any page with a static URI automatically has a canonical URI tag added to the page's header. This minimises “duplicate content” reports as it tells the search engines that multiple “pages” should be treated as one.
•For example, instead of the search engine thinking that /all-products?disp_order=1 is a different page from /all-products?disp_order=3, Ceon URI Mapping lets it know that the page's “real” URI is just /all-products and that these other URIs are just variations for the same page.


Here is the two reports with some opened....


My .htaccess seems shorter than that given at install

Hi,

Google Wenmaster Tools is reporting I have many duplicates. I have posted this in the Search Engine forum but thought after re-reading the info I would check in here also. I'm just wondering after reading the following 'IF' I have a problem with my instal?

I found your website and took a look and the canonical tag is there in the header, so everything looks fine. Did you recently just sort out any canonical tag problems in the header file (html_header.php)?

If so it may take time for google to stop seeing filtered pages as duplicates.

I can't see any reason why it would see duplicate tags with the canonical tag in place as it is.

All the best...

Hi Conor
Thanks for taking the time to look for me. The only change I remember making to html_header.php was to lines 33 & 34 and they are now:

Hi,

That file is fine and as I said, your site has canonical links.

To be honest I think the answer to this is to ignore the duplicate descriptions section.. the only other option is to go through all of your products and add in unique descriptions for the review pages, write a review pages... sounds like a waste of time to me.

All the best..
