There a way to remove ?&language=en from the end of some of my urls... Google is saying I have duplicate title tags because of it
I was able to resolve it. not a uri issue. It was a sitemap issue.
So I found the var that calls it up $var_linksList[$i]['link'];Quote:

Anyone know where those are called up? Or how to find it?
Wow... so those variables are defined withing the easy pages in the admin>tools Talk about looking too deep into things... got it taken care of. Thanks
I've looked at this for a few days now and I can't seem to find any problems with the Rewrite text. I have noticed, however that when first appearing on my website if I hover the mouse over the (e.g) "Grasses" Category it shows an address of: ####/grasses?zenid=aad36069f1933f5c5c54b8124093a24c but if its actually clicked it turns to: ####/grasses and remains so for the rest of the session. Actually once any one link is clicked then all the links appear as they should using your URI Mapping. Could this first click actually be the log error thats appearing? Is what I just explained, with the link, supposed to happen? Cheers.Quote:

Go to Configuration > URI Mapping (SEO) in the Zen Cart admin, the option to disable/enable the module can be changed there.
This option is not in the menu structure yet, I assume this is an upload error on my behalf or as a result of the first blank page not creating the tables...
any help would be great

Is this everyone elses experience here??
Hi, Conor, I use Easy Populate to generate thousand of my products one time, if I use Ceon URI Mapping, does it means I have to update every products one by one? or do you have any ways to solve this problem when using Easy Populate mod?
thanks for your kindness... i like your mod very much!
I just installed the module and followed all instruction and used the sample rewrite rule. My problem is that the mapping fields are not there when I go to edit a product or category? I hope this is just a simple mistake. My add new category/product pages are the same as before the mod. Any help would be great.
Hi Simon,
You can't use spaces in URIs!Quote:

Hi,
Quite simply, you haven't fnished installing the module. At the very least you've missed copying across the files from the modified_core_files folder.Quote:

Should I have the little box ticked for the auto-gen if it is an already existing product?
Also I want to say thanks conor for this great mod and for your quick reply!
Hi,
Tick it and click preview/update if you want to generate a new URI. Otherwise enter your own URI (or don't enter anything and leave the box unticked and no URI will apply for the product).Quote:

Hey one last thing, Can you change the URl for for example the shipping & returns page or the contact us page?
Hi,
Yes, these are referred to as "other" Zen Cart pages in the docs. Instructions are there on how to manually add mappings for these pages using software such as PHPMyAdmin.Quote:

Alright Conor so I'm back... I was able to get the ?&language=en at the end of my urls removed from my sitemap.. However google still crawls my site for stuff not in my sitemap and finds the ?&language=en show duplicate urls for everything. You know how I could chop that off the end?
You need to pose this questionon the XML Sitemap support thread.. That is where the "?&language=en" is coming from.. (Hint: this question has been answered in the XML Sitemap support thread so a quick search of that thread should provide you with the answer you need)Quote:

The new code in this new version I've been running handles language changes transparently and will redirect the user to the specific URI for the newly selected language, so "&language" is never displayed on the site again if the URI has been stored in each language!
As well as that, if the user hasn't just selected a new language, but the URI uses a different language from the session, the session is switched to use the new language. This means that the page will display in the language that the URI is specifically defined for. So if a site has a page in two different languages but each has a translated URI (E.g. /chairs and /chaises), the session language will correctly represent the URI being displayed in the address bar!
This all greatly enhances the language handling of Zen Cart.
Another feature I've had running in the new version is code which removes the category ID from the URI (an extra cPath= some people have reported) if it is simply the product's master category as it will be regenerated when the static URI is loaded..
I've had those two new features ready to go since November I think but unfortunately I haven't released the code yet as I've been very busy and then got very ill recently and am only getting back on top of things now.. packaging up new versions takes a fair bit of time (if there are any problems in any upgrade lots of you will let me know it! :) ).. it's only with you mentioning this now that I have realised just how long its been since I actually wrote this code though!
I'll try and get a new release of the software out soon. (I know that's not exactly the news you wanted but at least now you know that the issue has been looked at.. and even better, code has been written which is already working!)
Al the best..
Conor

Any chance for some access to early code?
Thank you diva.. but as I stated before, it is not displayed in my sitemap. Google found it by crawling the page. It is disabled in the sitemap settings.

All the best Conor, you are a legend mate!
Hi Jay,
Thanks for the nice comments!
You have to enter URIs for the "other" Zen Cart pages using software like PHPMyAdmin. It's easy though and documentation on how to do this is provided with the module. The section you need is:
"Specifying the current URI Mapping for any other Zen Cart page"
Part 1 applies for the pages you've mentioned.
All the best..

Cheers Conor,
You know what I am like with all this, mentally challenged but you should be commended for your work on this :D
No problem. I look forward to the new release. Thanks for all your work
Hello,
I'll first join everyone in thanking you for the hard work that you put in to make this excellent mod.
Extremely easy to install (on test at least), and the functionality is awesome.
I unfortunately am having an issue when I move to my live shop though. I'm going to assume it is an IIS problem due to the fact that my test env is apache. I do however have isaap rewrite installed on my iis server to make .htaccess work, which I am certain it is because I use it for 301 redirects already.
Everything seems to be making it out of the html_output file correctly, because the URLs are changing. The issue is them redirecting... When a link (eg. http://www.mystore.com/blue-widgets that used to be index.php?main_page=index&cpath=1) is clicked the page will redirect to the home page. No 404 problems which makes me believe the htaccess rules are being recognized and maybe just not processed correctly.
Perhaps there are alternate htaccess rules in this case.. I am kind of lost. Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks again.
Hi,
Thanks, glad you like it! (especially the bit of it that does actually work with your desired server! :) ).Quote:

I can't test it personally because I don't have a IIS server or the time to set one up to play with (although I will do someday, sounds interesting).. but the one thing that struck me straight off is that the names/formats of the environment variables in the rewrie conditions/rules are different.
For example, instead of variables like %{REQUEST_URI} the format is more like User-Agent: (no percentage sign and breackets but the text and a colon).
I don't really know if changing the format is all you need to do.
As I said, I'ld be interested in looking into this someday ut just don't have the time at the minute.
Hopefully my quick look and thoughts there mnight help steer you in a workable direction?!
The other thought I had was for you to modify the init_ceon_uri_mapping.php file on your server to dump the contents of the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] variable and see what your IIS server is setting there.. as it's the all essential variable for themodule.. itf it's not being set correctly then you would indeed more than likely just end up at the home page each time without any 404 (the behaviour you are experiencing).
Hope that helps.. if you get this "fixed" please let us know the solution.
All the best..

Hey Conor,
Thanks for the fast response. I was looking into the formatting but I'm not sure if that is the issue as I belive ISAPI_Rewrite is supposed to handle .htaccess the same way apache does.
http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rew...ewriteCond.htm
Also,
These are working for me...
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} (on)?
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^(?!www\.)(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)
RewriteRule .? http(?%1s)://www.%2%3 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.html$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Is there any files that you could think of that I may have missed something on. I'm pretty certain (just as you are) that it's something with the server but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Thanks again Conor.
ALSO -- ANYONE ELSE GET THIS TO WORK ON IIS AT ALL?

Hi,
I'll get in contact with you privately for FTP details as short of tracing what's happening on your server by adding debug output to init_ceon_uri_mapping.php there's nothing else I can think of.Quote:

Thanks for not only creating a solid light-weight mod but going above and beyond by offering support for bugs to your users.

In the version 3.2.3 release you say..Quote:

Thanks in advance,
John
Whoops, forgot something...
The only other third party mods I have installed are easy populate and sitemap xml.
Hi John,
Thanks for the nice comments, glad you like the software!
It was never broken for browsing by category so something must be up with the query string parameters on your site.Quote:

I can't explain that other than to think you think you've uploaded the latest version's files but are in fact still using some files at least from an older version. I'd suggest reuploading the files again.
One other thing.. you've spelt DVDs wrong on your site! It's not "DVD's" as you have it (DVD's what? What do the DVDs have? :) ).
Hope that helps!

Where can I find the query string parameters?Quote:
It was never broken for browsing by category so something must be up with the query string parameters on your site.
I turned off the URI mapping on the categories (minus the fluorescent lighting accessories because I missed it) because it rendered such a large percentage of the content inaccessible.
Thanks for the grammar lesson. There have been over 20,000 hits and no one had pointed it out yet! haha. As for the dropped es after fluorescent-lighting-accessori, the auto generate did it. Perhaps a character max? I don't know. I have corrected it now.
I have enabled URI mapping on the category "seeds" to show you the trouble I am having.
Hi,
If you dump the contents of the $_GET variable you'll see them (that's what this variable holds).Quote:

The section of the code which was introduced to fix the manufacturers pagination bug was:
If you don't have that in init_ceon_uri_mapping.php then you're still using an old, broken version of the module.PHP Code:$query_string_parameter_pairs = explode('&', $query_string_to_match);
foreach ($query_string_parameter_pairs as
$current_query_string_parameter_pair) {
$key_and_value = explode('=', $current_query_string_parameter_pair);
unset($_GET[$key_and_value[0]]);
}

Sorting only fails when I use your uri mapping software. If the entire sort function didn't work all of the time I would be much more worried. If you're not willing to do it for free what would it cost?
I am a web developer and have spoken with a friend of mine who was just as dumbfounded as to why it only breaks when using your software.
You should contact Conor via the contact form on his site about this as he cannot post any commercial offerings for software and services in the forum..:wink: (BIG no no:no:)Quote:

I made a rather obvious typo there.
The ^ is in the wrong place. It should be:
Once you make that change everything should work fine, your client's .htaccess file is fine.Code:# Don't rewrite forums/gallerys directories

Check your DIR_WS_CATALOG setting in includes/configure.php (it should be a single slash). Otherwise quite simply you must be entering two slashes when adding the URIs manually to the database.

DIR_WS_CATALOG is single slash

All URIs in the Ceon URI Mapping table must start with a slash.Quote:

Does this AdOn Supports for Windows/IIS7 ?. Will it work on my Windows 2008/IIS7 installation of Zen-Cart ?. I see that it is mentioned about Apache, but I did not see anything for IIS Web Server ?.
Is there any special instruction for IIS6 OR IIS7 ?
Thanks

If you can get IIS to use RewriteRules the module should work fine with it.Quote:

Hi Conor,
Great add-on!
I downloaded and installed it yesterday. I was a little bit confused how the .htaccess file worked but I created one in the same folder as the install index.php as per the instructions. I followed the steps to change to /shop and also /admin is different.
Everything seems to be working fine, I've started updating links to be autogenerated. Its so easy, but takes a while. There isn't a button you can press to update all categories/products all at once?
I've just realised today, that our main page doesn't show up.
www.giftpackaging.com.au
www.giftpackaging.com.au/shop/ will work once you click on "home" etc
Can you help on this?
Michael
As indicated in the readme for this module, the simple answer to this is "No".. If you are installing this on an existing store, you have to go through all your existing products, categories, and EZ-Pages once..Quote:

I have only a problem with EZ-Pages, if i use
modified_core_files/1.3.8a/admin/ezpages
i have this error:
1054 Unknown column 'pages_title' in 'order clause'
in:

If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.
no problem with products, categories...
Whata can I do?
(thank you again)

This isn't a problem with the module I'm afraid.Quote:

You'll have to restore the table to a working version or add that column back in.
I'm afraid I've no idea how that could have happened but I can assure you it wasn't any software from Ceon that did this.. you must have installed some bad software or made a mistake in PHPMyAdmin and accidentally deleted that column or something.
Hope you get this fixed!
If you can't fix it, please start a new thread, unfortunately this is nothing to do with the URI mapping module so I can't help you on this thread!

Sorry, I thought there was a connection because if I use the existing version of ezpages.php have no error (but does not appear at the bottom the ceon's function) If I use ezpages.php included in the installation I have this error.
Hi,
That means that your old version was a custom version or else from before Zen Cart 1.3!Quote:

The easiset course of action for you is probably to "compare" your old version with the URI Mapping version and merge the custom changes you have with the additions the URI Mapping module makes.
A tool like "Beyond Compare" or "WinMerge" would be useful for that.

ok I will follow your advice
Thanks again and congratulations for the add
Hi,
I just installed the URI Mapping mod and it is a great mod that seems to work well. However, I am having a bit of problem.
I have the User Tracking mod installed. When I go to look at the User log, I now get warning boxes pop up. The first box has the ZenAdminId and the zenid listed. I then click that box off and another box appears that says this:
strats_sa_surl_xss.nasl
This box appears twice. I then click those off and a warning box appears that says this:
mod_perl_status_uri_xss.nasl
These boxes never appeared prior to installing the Mapping mod and going to the tracking logs for the days prior to installation does not produce the warning boxes. They only appear for the days after installation. I am also seeing that an XSS attack was attempted on my server after I installed the mod.
Does allowing the URI rewrites necessary to make this mod work make XSS attacks possible? Am I now open to these attacks because of installing this mod?
A while back, Zen Cart posted a security fix for XSS attacks, which I installed. I believe it involved the replacement of some of the files the Mapping mod uses. I made sure that I used those security fix files and then added the necessary code from the Mapping mod files. Do these security fixes no longer function due to the additions of the new code?
I would appreciate any help you could give me.
Thanks,
Hi,
I'm glad you like our software! Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the module you have described so there's nothing specific I can say about what is happening to you.Quote:

Well there's a completely comprehensive answer for you! It's not this module so you know you can look elsewhere (or carry out a merge if html_output.php is the culprit). :)Quote:

Hi
Couple of days ago I installed Ceon URI module on latest Zen Cart and all my old URL are working fine, however, if I add any of the new products, it is not showing in the category it was added.
If I disable Ceon URI Module, I can see the product correctly. What could be the issue ?
ZenCart Version: 1.3.8A
New Installation
Module Installed: Ceon URI
Windows IIS 7
URL rewriting by: ISAPI Rewrite 3.0
Thanks
Hi,
The example rules provided with the module are all for the Apache webserver.Quote:

If you get this working please post back here with your solution so that others using IIS and ISAPI Rewrite can get it working as well.
Thanks!

I have downloaded and installed this mod, and it is great! Pretty easy install and easy to follow documentation.
My problem: On one of my sites, I use the AJAX Image swapper mod that also incorporates the fual slimbox lightbox and Image Handler. None of my product images seem to load.
While searching through previous threads, I came across this:
As far as a solution to this problem to get my images up, i'm not sure which files I would need to modify. I need to keep the image swapper, but would love to keep the URI mod. Can I make both work together?Quote:
For the benefit of others out there.. these missing pages in the error log are part of a module called fual slimbox lightbox. It builds relative paths to its javascript files as it (wrongly) assumes it will only ever be used from the base shop folder (e.g. / or /shop/). (This clearly isn't the case when you have /shop/books/life-is-good as the current URI for a product!).
Hi,
Glad you like the module, thanks for the nice comments!
The module can work with any other module.. it's just a matter of updating other modules to be able to work with static URIs instead of relative URIs.Quote:

So instead of "images/my_image.jpg" you want to use "/images/my_image.jpg" (note the path starts with a slash!).
Hope that helps you sort this out.
As this appears to be a problem with the other module not working with static URIs you'd best post in the Image Swapper module's thread if you need any further help with this. I'm afraid I don't provide support for integrating third party modules with the URI mapping module on this forum.

Hi Conor,
Thanks for the answer. I had a thought that the problem might have been a coincidence, however, I thought I should check to make sure.
Thanks
And as one who installs Fual Slimbox and Image Handles on ALL her sites, I can tell you the issue is NOT with these two mods..Quote:

Just thought I'd post that thought in case the problem is relative URIs in the slimbox module and your post the the previous poster "off the scent". May not be the case. may be. Don't know! :)HTML Code:<base href="http://www.yoursite.com/images/" />

Hi,
Just took a quick look at the source of the slimbox module (didn't install or run it tho) and it does indeed use relative URIs.Quote:

Or you can update the zen_lightbox() functin in includes/functions/extra_functions/zen_lightbox.php to make it output static URIs by adding in the path to the image folder everywhere you see DIR_WS_IMAGES:Code:define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', '/images/');
One of those solutions should get you up and running.Code:'/myshop/' . DIR_WS_IMAGES
I'd appreciate it if you post back here to like me know how you get on!
All the best..

I do indeed.. These are the settings from my configure.phpQuote:

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
Thanks for the suggestions.
I tried this, but it did not work. I was thinking that the configure.php change would be the easiest fix. I also tried the base href in the header.Quote:

Along with the lightbox.php file, I have another file "ais_functions.php" that came with the ajax image swapper that is also in the extra functions folder. Here is a sample of the code:
Not sure if this can help pin point what needs to be done. I figured the DIR_WS_IMAGES is where the problem is.Quote:
$ais_config = array();
$ais_config['small']['width'] = IMAGE_VIEWER_SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH;
$ais_config['small']['height'] = IMAGE_VIEWER_SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT;
$ais_config['medium']['suffix'] = '_MED';
$ais_config['medium']['width'] = IMAGE_VIEWER_MEDIUM_IMAGE_WIDTH;
$ais_config['medium']['height'] = IMAGE_VIEWER_MEDIUM_IMAGE_HEIGHT;
$ais_config['large']['suffix'] = '_LRG';
$ais_config['large']['width'] = IMAGE_VIEWER_LARGE_IMAGE_WIDTH;
$ais_config['large']['height'] = IMAGE_VIEWER_LARGE_IMAGE_WIDTH;
//Enter the filename of small (default) image, generate filenames for the other sizes.
//Sizes are 'small', 'medium', or 'large'
function get_image_filename($filename, $size = 'small') {
global $ais_config;
$filename_array = explode('.',$filename);
$ext = '.' . $filename_array[count($filename_array) - 1];
$filename_only = substr($filename, 0, strrpos($filename,'.'));
if ($size != 'small') {
$filename_only = substr_replace($filename_only, DIR_WS_IMAGES . $size . '/', strpos($filename, DIR_WS_IMAGES), strlen(DIR_WS_IMAGES));
}
if ($size == 'large') {
$new_filename = (file_exists($filename_only . $ais_config[$size]['suffix'] . $ext))?($filename_only . $ais_config[$size]['suffix'] . $ext):((file_exists($filename_only . $ais_config['medium']['suffix'] . $ext))?($filename_only . $ais_config['medium']['suffix'] . $ext):($filename));
}
else {
$new_filename = (file_exists($filename_only . $ais_config[$size]['suffix'] . $ext))?($filename_only . $ais_config[$size]['suffix'] . $ext):($filename);
}
return $new_filename;
}
Any success for anyone of you to make the zen lightbox work together with SEO URL's.
My lightbox was working well before i installed SEO URL's on my jewellry store.
Can anyone suggest some fix ?
You may have a look at lustrejewel.
Hi,
I'd still say it is.Quote:

I hope you can get this sorted soon.. I don't imagine it should take too long to trace the source of the problem and fix the Image Swapper module. Please post back on the Image Swapper thread (or here even) with your solution for others once you get things sorted, so that others can avoid the same problem.
I hope you can understand that I can't put a lot of time into analysing other modules to get them to work with static URIs.. if the answer is obvious I'll of course always say, but if, as in this case, I have to download a module and try out changing the code, that's a bit too much work for me.
Good luck getting this sorted!

Hi,
Sorry but I don't know why that would be. There may be something wrong in your .htaccess file. Are you sure you have limited the rewrites to the shop directory?Quote:

The first question I would ask is why do you have your shop configured in this way?? Is Zen Cart in both the root directory AND in a sub directory??Quote:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/shop/.* [NC]
# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxx])

Hi,
That .htaccess file is fine.Quote:

You'll need to rework your site so that / isn't your shop.
Or to redirect / to /shop
Or to move your store from /shop to /
That'll be you sorted then.

My suggestion is to move the whole daggone thing to the root directory.. If the shop IS the SITE, then the whole thing needs to be in the root PERIOD.. There is no need for a /shop directoryQuote:

Hello Conor!
I have exacly the same problem mentioned here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=849
How did you solve that?
We are using version: 3.2.4
In our case the language switch worked fine for several weeks and since some hour ago we have this phenomenon and only with one category.
The language switchs with all the other categories and languages work fine.
Thank you!

Hi,
I mentioned this in a previous post but this thread's so long now it's hard to find things! I'll probably start a new thread after the next release...Quote:

Thank you

Hey Conor,
Thanks for creating this module!!
I have uploaded everything and it is in my modukle section in the admin, so thats all OK.
I am going through the set up procedure and am stuck on altering the htaccess files.
I am hosted with yahoo and they dont let htaccess files up on the site.
So when it comes to adding re-write. I have no idea what to do.
I spent all day working out how to dowlnload Apache so that is done. Is there any way you can help me sort this. I am assuming tha I HAVE TO RE-WRITE
cheers

Hi,
Glad you like the software!Quote:

Hope that helps!
