I am showing a lot of errors like this ( File does not exist: /home/allnativ/public_html/xxxxx) in my PhpAdmin Error Log. Just wondering if its possible I've missed something in the Rewrite Rules or Htaccess file? Of course it may not have anything to do with installing this module. Just thought I'd ask.
Using the latest version of zen cart and the CEON SEO module. The module works great...had no problem configuring it for most of my site. However, for one category it does not work. I cant figure out why it does not work. It even works for the first product in that category...but not for other products.
check this out. This works fine.
http://thecoolershade.com/store/Mens...n.Steel.Ring.I
This does not work at all.
http://thecoolershade.com/store/Mens...sed.Steel.Ring
this only happens in the Men's Rings category and everything else works great. Any help is appreciated.
Hi,
The example rewrite rules don't rewrite any URI ending in a dot and between 2 and four alphabetic characters. So the above URI isn't being rewritten.Quote:

then no images will show on your site etc as their paths will also be rewritten
(.jpg, .css etc.)
You can switch from using full stops or you can add exceptions for each extension one by one by removing the above line and adding them:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.jpg$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.css$
etc
All the best..

Hi,
Possibly. It's impossible to tell without knowing what paths are throwing 404s!Quote:

All the best...

Code:RewriteEngine on
# redirects any URL that includes: record_company.php/password_forgotten.php
RedirectMatch Permanent ^/(.*[record_company.php]+)/(password_forgotten.php)$ /page_not_found.php
# redirects any URL that includes: /images/wp- with 'wp-' being anything that ends with '.php'
# this allows for images named such as 'wp-header.jpg' to work
RedirectMatch Permanent ^/(.*[images]+)/(wp-.*\.php)$ /page_not_found.php
# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxx])
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$
# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin.* [NC]
# Don't rewrite editors directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/editors.* [NC]
# Don't rewrite cPanel directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/cpanel.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/frontend.* [NC]
# Don't rewrite blog directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^blog.* [NC]
# Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (index.php)
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
Hi,
That all looks okay. Which means it's probably something custom on your server I'm afraid.Quote:

Sorry I can't be of more help than that, but that's what I'd have to do in your situation to find out why that is happening and fix this behaviour.. on our server it sticks with / all the time (as it should do).
All the best..

hello, Conor,
May i ask you another question about rewrite?
By adding table through phpMyadmin, is it possible to rewrite
link
www.example.com/category-one?&sort=20a&page=2
to
www.example.com/category-one-page-2
i tried to add table by phpMyadmin, but failed.
settings are as follows:
main page: index
query_string_parameters: cPath=3&sort=20s&page=2
thanks for your comments.:smile:
Thanks for looking. I'll do the dump. It funny cus the template references DIR_WS_CATALOG which is configured to / in my config file.. crazy...Quote:

and
that canonical links will be added to the site once this is installed?

Hi,
That eliminates that as a source of the problem.Quote:

You also might simply have old google etc. links linking to index.php?main_page=index and it'll take time for them to disappear and to have only the / link represent the home page.
I'm afraid there's simply a few ways this could happen and they're all site specific, not natural behaviour caused by the module itself so I can only wish you luck in sorting this out.
It's not a massive deal though I must say, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist too and I personally can understand why a wee niggle like this would be something you'd want to get off the back of your mind! :) (Plus it may well be better to not have a duplicate link). Anyway... :)
All the best...
