I agree. This mod is proving to be a God send. Having the ability to create static URLs not based on product/manufacturer/categories name (as my client is always changing these) was exactly what I was looking for. Conor will definitely be getting a donation from me/my client and I would suggest that everyone give Conor something if they are using this mod as this will allow him to develop even more great add-ons.
Hopefully a quick question for Conor or even a request for a quick change, paid for of course.
My client's web site has been heavily modified as to how brands, categories and products are displayed.
A single page now displays all products within a category/manufacturer/size/gender. This is how they wanted it and so this is what I developed for them.
The new file product_listing.php now take care of displaying all products filtered by category/manufacturer/size/gender with the product_info.php file responsible for displaying details about the actual product.
The new product_listing.php file uses one or more of the following parameters.
categories_id (single category id or name)
gender ("M","W" or "B" (Both))
showtype (this can be "sale" or "new")
manufacturers_id (single manufacturers id or name)
Having look at the code responsible for translating static URI to ZEN Cart URI, I believe that it is a simple matter of changing the includes/init_includes/init_ceon_uri_mapping.php and a change in the admin logic that updates/sets the value of "main_page" on the zen_ceon_uri_mappings database table.
I was just wondering if I am on the right track here and also if I am correct, whether Conor can help identify exactly where the changes need to be made, which will save me trawling through the code looking for where changes are required.
Regards
Tony
I have a potential issue with duplicate product names within the same category.
My client has a number of products within the same Category which have the same product name and this has generate duplicate "uri" content in the zen_ceon_uri_mappings database table.
Is there an option to make these uri's unique using the product_id in the uri?
Also, is it possible to include the manufacturer in the link, e.g. Lacoste/Shoes/Blue-Trainers?
Tony
Hi,
No, you must rename the products in the category.Quote:

My reasoning for this isn't solely based on the following example, but nevertheless, it is a valid example..
What would a blind person do in such a category? Their software would read out products with exactly the same name. How would they know which one is the "right" one?
Change the products' names and the *critical* problem of shared URIs disappears.
That might be time consuming if there's lots but I only believe in doing things the right way! :)
You'll have to enter the URI manually. Only the URI Mappings manager will be able to use custom auto-generation formats.Quote:

You will have to do them manual one at a time. For all products at once auto feature Conor cannot answer this question here on this support forum as the rules of this forum prohibit the support or discussion of paid modules on the part of the module creator.

RewriteRule (.*) http://www.jambaroo.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]
to my htaccess file to re-direct the non www to the www. The index page works fine but doesn't link to any of my categories. I turned the mod off and they worked fine.
I'm sure i'm doing something daft/someones asked the question before but i've hunted through the forum and can't see anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks:huh:

What kind of error are you having. You have not provided enough information. Go back and start over installing this module again. Read the documentation carefully. There is no other module that gives more detail on HOW TO than this one. You have did something wrong. Check your .htaccess file. That is where most problems lie when people don't create the .htaccess file rules correctly.Quote:

Unfortunately - i don't have a clue what and i've read the config text all the way through and it doesn't appear to mention set up with non-www to www redirection.
Thanks
Hi, i have one question.
If i will manually set mapping into database 4 example to page shippinginfo how can i change location header what user can see.
Links like www.shop.cz/Shipping_Info will be displayed well, but user can still see address www.shop.cz/index.php?main_page=shippinginfo?
did i missed something?

Example rule for stores installed in a folder other than the root of the site, with the admin named “admin”.
As mentioned above, if a store is not installed in the root directory of a site, that is, if in includes/configure.php the DIR_WS_CATALOG define isn't exactly as follows:
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/'); Then the rewrite rule needs to be modified to point to the store's folders.
For example, if the store's DIR_WS_CATALOG define is:
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/shop/'); Then all of the RewriteConds from “# Don't rewrite admin directory” downwards need to have the forward slash, “/”, changed to “/shop/”.
If the store has other pages on the site which aren't part of Zen Cart - that is, from the example above, pages which aren't in the “/shop” directory - then a RewriteCond must also be added so that these other pages keep working.
The resulting rewrite rule would then be as follows.
Quote:
Please Note: The following example rule is intended for a .htaccess file placed in the same directory as the Zen Cart installation's index.php file.
If placing the above rule in a VirtualHost directive for the site, the main RewriteRule needs to have the store's relative directory path prepended. The RewriteRule should be changed to:Quote:
RewriteEngine On
# ONLY rewrite URIs beginning with /shop/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/shop/ [NC]
# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-z]{2,5}$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/shop/admin [NC]
# Don't rewrite editors directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/shop/editors [NC]
# Don't rewrite cPanel directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/cpanel [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/frontend [NC]
# Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (index.php)
RewriteRule .* index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
Modifying the rule for stores which have renamed the admin directory.Quote:
RewriteRule .* /shop/index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
If the store does not use “admin”. for the name of the admin directory then the RewriteCond for the admin directory must be modified: “RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/admin [NC]”.
For example, if the store's admin directory is named “store_manager” and Zen Cart is installed in the root directory of the site, the example rewrite rule above would be modified as follows:
Obviously, if the store isn't installed in the root directory of the site, the RewriteCond for the admin folder would have to be modified accordingly.Quote:
# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/store_manager [NC]
As an example:
Quote:
# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/shop/store_manager [NC]

First I have to say that I am very grateful for this community of people that take time to help each other. Thank you.
I have installed the Ceon URI mapping into a new zen cart but am having a couple of issues:
Ceon URI mapping is showing up in the "Configuaration" and "Modules"
tabs in my zen cart admin but not in the Catalog/catagories area where I add/edit my catagory names. Can anyone point me in the right direction to look.
I have been reading this forum and my admin has been renamed so I am trying to get to the .htaccess file but can't locate it.
It is showing in my ftp client, like it is there, but it does not show in my cpanel file manager. Does anyone know why that is? Seems weird to me. Do I need to create a new file?
The only other modifications I've done are the security patchs and installed "All Business" Template.
Thank you.

You have to make a .htaccess file and upload it to the root of your sever.

Hi All,
I am using CEON URL Mapping in my zencart website. while using the XENU(link testing tool) all the .html link are reported has 404 'Page Not Found'. But the page works fine in the browsers.

Country Charm - Thank you for all your help. It is really appreciated. I did what you said and reloaded all the files. Third time is a charm I guess. I am not stuck on the .htaccess file. I created a file with the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^rondajane.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/myadmin [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/editors [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.rondajane.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-z]{2,5}$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite admin directory

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/frontend [NC]
# Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (index.php)
RewriteRule .* index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
Like I said before though, I cannot see what is in my current .htaccess file since it doesn't show up in my list of files on my cpanel file manager list. I am a little leary to just delete it not knowing what is there and replace it with the above. It that what you are suggesting? Just thought I'd check before pushing the old "delete" button.
Thanks.

I never figured on an htaccess problem but here it is. This is the first time I've not had a cart in the root and I have never had a problem with this before.
Here is the folder htaccess:
The root also has an htaccess file and besides the 301 redirects, it reads (with xxxx subbing for domain name):Code:RewriteEngine On
# ONLY rewrite URIs beginning with /shop/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/store/ [NC]
# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-z]{2,5}$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/store/admin [NC]
# Don't rewrite editors directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/store/editors [NC]
# Don't rewrite cPanel directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/cpanel [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/frontend [NC]
# Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (index.php)
RewriteRule .* index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
Anybody see a problem with this? I can't even get into the store directory with this htaccess setupCode:RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.:]+\.)*xxxx\.net\.?(:[0-9]*)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.xxxx.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^xxxx.com

Hi you need to create a htaccess, and it must be in the file placed in the same directory as the Zen Cart installation'sQuote:

Remove the one in your root, and you should be OK if your .htaccess file is something like this. Back this one up before removing it just in case.

I can't remove the one in root permanently but I did try it as a test and the directory is still not accessible so the problem has nothing to do with the other file.
As I have done this before I know where to put the redirect url for the cart. That's not the problem.
I'm using the redirect as written by Conor - checked it three times so far so it should be right.
Anybody else got a guess why this isn't working?
Has any one got this working with Amazon Checkout?
If I turn URI mapping off it works great, turn it on you can complete the order but fails when amazon tries to return to your site.
Keith
Without knowing how the Amazon module works is it possible that it is returning you to a URL that is no longer valid (with the implementation of this module). Is it possible to update that URL to one that works with this add-on??Quote:

Hi Keith,
The Amazon Checkout module must load in the Zen Cart system to respond to a callback.Quote:

Hi Delia,
Can't really tell, it all looks fine. I think this is one of those things that would require online debugging/testing.Quote:

Wasn't very hard! ;p
(If your store is in a folder put the store's folder name before the above: /store/checkout_by_amazon.php ).

I must be missing something else then because I did that, and still get page not found error when returning from Amazon, I the bright side orders still go thru just fine.
The reason I was looking for help as I already added that file as per the docs and it did not help. Added alot of other just in case still no joy.
Harder than it appears :)
Hi,
It shouldn't be hard. Something else may be going wrong then.Quote:

What you should check for is to check your webserver's (domain's) access log to see what files are being called. maybe the path isn't what we are expecting?
If you want me to take a quick look simply send me some FTP details for your site.

Giving it a specific page to return has fixed the problem somewhat but the pop up with the order ID does not display.
Thanks for the help Conor you gave me some new ideas to look at.
Hi,
I'm afraid I'm not really sure what you are talking about as I've never seen the module in operation before. It sounds like you may need to add a condition to the rewrite rule to stop it blocking some sort of popup page from being displayed, or something like that.Quote:

Hi, i have problem with automatic switching of currencies.
It appears, that when i will switch to new language, $_GET['language'] never arrives to /includes/init_includes/init_currencies.php.
Any ideas?
BTW: great work with this SEO module.
ZC 1.3.9c
Hi,
Ceon URI Mapping does indeed replace Zen Cart's language switch handling. However,it is set in the init_system to run before the currencies' init script, so should not affect it (unless there's a bug in my code).Quote:
Originally Posted by fangy

The currencies initialisation code should run at breakpoint 120:
Ceon URI Mapping's init script should run at breakpoint 99.PHP Code:$autoLoadConfig[120][] = array('autoType'=>'init_script',
'loadFile'=> 'init_currencies.php');
If yours don't, that's most likely the source of your problems.
If they do then I'll need a lot more information from you.. the exact sequence of the actions you are performing, the exact URIs that you are seeing, and what you are expecting to see but aren't.
All the best..
Conor
ceon
Hi,
It turns out it is kindof a bug.
When the language is changed in Ceon URI Mapping, it actually unsets the language parameter so that it isn't added to all the URIs (Zen Cart would otherwise always append it like: yoursite.com/your-category?language=XX).
The only script that uses $_GET['language'] outside of the languages script (which is already superseded by Ceon URI Mapping) is of course init_currencies.php.. so that's the problem!
As far as I can see, the only sideeffect of the current code is that when you switch language, the currency doesn't reset to the default language currency for the store.. is that the behaviour you were expecting that isn't occurring?
If so, I think the following may fix things, please try it:
In includes/init_includes/init_currencies.php change
toPHP Code:if ($new_currency == false || isset($_GET['language'])) $new_currency = (USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY == 'true') ? zen_currency_exists(LANGUAGE_CURRENCY) : $new_currency;
Let me know how you get on.PHP Code:if ($new_currency == false || $language_changed) $new_currency = (USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY == 'true') ? zen_currency_exists(LANGUAGE_CURRENCY) : $new_currency;
Again, if there are any problems, I'll need a full diagnosis by you about what exact steps you are taking, what URIs you are using and what you are expecting to see happen.
All the best..

Hi, i have no changes in autoloaders, BP 120 and 99 are ok.
My problem is "Switch To Default Language Currency" option in Zen-Cart is turned on...
When i will try to switch language (everywhere - in listing or product detail) Zen will not switch currency to right one for the chosen language.
Im not really Zen expert, but i think the problem is it this $_GET[language] in this init currency file. This is empty.
Your script doesnt work too?! It looks like this $language_changed is still empty. When im changing my language or not :)
Hi,
That was the wrong line to try changing I think. I think you might want to try changing the following:
toPHP Code:(isset($_GET['language']) && USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY == 'true' && LANGUAGE_CURRENCY != $_SESSION['currency'] )
For the functionality work you must have defined the correct language code for LANGUAGE_CURRENCY for each language you are using. (This is done in the main languages file for the language).PHP Code:(isset($language_changed) && $language_changed && USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY == 'true' && LANGUAGE_CURRENCY != $_SESSION['currency'] )
Let me know how you get on.
All the best..

I cannot create a new customer account when testing. I also cannot add an item to my cart. I am wondering if it has something to do with my .htaccess file. Do I need to add something about not rewriting the customer.php?
This is what my .htaccess file looks like:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php52 .php .php5 .php4 .php3
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^rondajane.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/myadmin [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.rondajane.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])

# Don't rewrite admin directory

A few questions...
Wondering if CEON seo module is compatible with 1.3.9h?
I upgraded from 1.3.8a ZC to 1.3.9h and had to turn off ceon as site wouldn't load when enabled.
So I may have not integrated the CEON correctly into 1.3.9h? but want to make sure.
Also...
I see there is a CEON 3.6.3 to download from ZC modules.
But CEON website has: Version 3.8.0 ?
Which is the most current or best one to use in 1.3.9h?
Lastly, if I did botch the MOD during ZC upgrade... if I reinstall CEON (carefully) will that be ok? or do I need to ensure ALL previous install is removed?
Thanks for input.
I tried turning off Ceon uri's but that didn't help.
Ronda
Hi,
I'd an inkling - and then was able to test and confirm - that the reason the currency doesn't change when you switch language is that Ceon URI Mapping redirects to the page for the new language.. as it doesn't set the updated currency data for the session the currency remains as it was.Quote:
Originally Posted by conor

It'll be version 4.0.0 that this upgraded functionality is part of.. so probably a few weeks off being released. It's not a massive problem so I hope you don't mind waiting.
All the best..

Hi,
Yes, just use the files for 1.3.9d. The differences are only tiny HTML differences. You can then upgrade to 4.0.0 when it's released with specific files for 1.3.9h.Quote:

Hi, i made some debugging in my init_currencies...
here is a code i have added:
answers are like:PHP Code:echo "USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY: ".USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY;
echo " LANGUAGE_CURRENCY: ".LANGUAGE_CURRENCY;
echo " language_changed: ". $language_changed;
if(empty($language_changed)){echo "blank";}
else {
if($language_changed){echo "true";}
if(!$language_changed){echo "false";}
}
echo " get_language: ";
if (isset($_GET['language'])) {echo " language: ".$_GET['language'];}
else
{echo "blank";}
echo " new_currency: ".$new_currency;
echo " sess_currency: ".$_SESSION['currency'];
echo " get_currency: ".$_GET['currency'];
USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY: true LANGUAGE_CURRENCY: PLN language_changed: blank get_language: blank new_currency: CZK sess_currency: CZK get_currency:
USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY: true LANGUAGE_CURRENCY: EUR language_changed: blank get_language: blank new_currency: CZK sess_currency: CZK get_currency:
USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY: true LANGUAGE_CURRENCY: CZK language_changed: blank get_language: blank new_currency: CZK sess_currency: CZK get_currency:
It looks like "$new_currency = ..." statements above are bad. Language is changinw well, new currency code is OK. Page is shown in right language, but only this script doesn know, that he must tu change currency.
session currency is set i to CZK, whitch is default currency for e-shop. this is okPHP Code:$new_currency = (isset($_GET['currency'])) ? zen_currency_exists($_GET['currency']) : zen_currency_exists($_SESSION['currency']);
get_currency is not set

CEON not working for me in 1.3.9h
OKies so as mentioned above I upgraded from 1.3.8a to 1.3.9h
I thought I may have broke something in one of the files required for the MOD to work.
I d/l from the CEON website 3.8.0 and compared the files.
I also compared to the RAW 1.3.9h files etc... all is good.
I can see the module installed in the admin area. I can use the tool and exclude files etc and save with NO errors.
However, as soon as I enable CEON the home page loads a 404 error.
A couple thing to mention.
The site is currently installed in a sub directory. (testing purposes)
when the new 1.3.9h site fails.
mywebsite.com.au/mystore
404 error loads inside cart.
If I click on ANY link in my menu it loads the LIVE (1.3.8a) site addressing ??
mywebsite.com.au
is my LIVE site addressing and this works no issues. (This also has CEON installed and working)
If I have CEON OFF in the NEW 1.3.9h cart the cart works no issues.
Any ideas on where I go from here?
Hi,
You can't upgrade a site and move it to a subdirectory.Quote:

The links for a site which is not in a subdirectory can NEVER work in a site which IS in a subdirectory. Same as the same address in real life can't mean two different places. You can only have ONE real address or URI.
Move the test site from the subdirectory or simply forget about using Ceon URI Mapping until you have: disable Ceon URI Mapping and get rid of the .htaccess file in the subdirectory.
When you move the test site into the main directory you can use the .htaccess file you'd originally set up for the main/live site.
These are your only realistic options (using a subdomain or switching URI mapping off).
Hope that saves you some time.

Hey Conor,
Hope all is well! I'm running Zen-Cart 1.3.9h and tried using the updated modified_core_files inside the "1.3.9f" folder because that was the highest letter available in the 3.8 package. That ended up not working. I noticed a few posts back that you recommend using 1.3.9d to update it.
Would using 1.3.9f have caused the issues? My site basically wouldn't load when I updated using those files (the 1.3.9f ones).
Anyway, I'll wait for 4.0 to come. For some reason I'm not getting the email updates about the releases too. Not sure what's going on.
Thanks for all the awesome zen cart addons! :)
Hi,
How are you? :)
The differences between 1.3.9d and f are so small that you can use the files for 1.3.9d without changing them for 1.3.9f.Quote:

You may not have merged the files properly with any current modifications you have to the files?
Certainly, there's no reason that 3.8.0 should not work perfectly on a 1.3.9f site.. it is on many!
Try merging the files again. If you are still having trouble, get in contact with me privately with a little description of the problems you are having and I should be able to help.
Oh, sorry, I haven't had time to finish writing the e-mail software (haven't worked on it since 2009!) so I've never sent out any e-mail update notices! :|Quote:

It's better to set up test sites as subdomains, e.g. test.yoursite.com.. it's the modern, professional way to carry out testing :)
It's also less work as switching over a site can just be a matter of repointing the directory for the domain and modifying the configure.php file paths.
I think that's the best approach for the minute. :)Quote:

Hi Conor I haven't talk to you lately. I just wanted to say hi and I hope you are doing well. For all those who have problems, this software works great with all versions of zen cart. Whenever a upgrade for zen cart comes out take the core files that this module uses and compare them to the new modified files that zen uses. If there a major difference, merge them with a program like WinMerge or the one I like is Beyond Compare great software for comparing files. And do read the documentation that come with this module. You will not have half the trouble installing if you do. Just wanted to say my 2 cents worth. Have a good day Conor
Hello Conor,
how are you?
Today I just see a artivle talked about the Ceon URL mapping, it says: as Ceon need to write every URL to the data-base, if some one open the site, and it need to read every URL in the data base, thus cause the website very slow, I think this is the cause why my site very slow. any suggestions? Thanks.
Hi Randy,
How are you?
Almost snowed in here, which is very unusual for here.. haven't seen snow like this since I was a toddler! :)
Thanks for making the points about what has to be done when new Zen Cart releases come out.. hopefully everyone takes them on board.
Back to getting version 4.0.0 done...
Have a good weekend!
All the best..

If you are experiencing a slow site you either need to upgrade your version to a more recent one which features the speed enhancements or you need to move to a decent server. No decent server should ever be significantly slowed down by Ceon URI Mapping, its lookups are very basic, reasonably efficient SQL.

Hi Conor,
Had you install this mod on my site www.burnerbooks.com. Wondering if you could help...
I also have product book module and use the filters.
With categories, I noticed that the second level is not mapped. When I use filter to get Christmas cards. I get this page of Christmas cards, showing this in browser instead of title Christmas Cards:
http://www.burnerbooks.com/?main_pag...q2cpco89ne1jv5
I use define main pages in the admin/tools/define_pages_editor to input new sales. When I tried to insert image (with link) of Christmas card and link it to the above page. It will not work.
Wonderful module! I really like it. My pages look so much better. Thanks, Kim
Hi!
I have a (hopefully) quick question. I installed Ceon URI Mapping today and it all went pretty smoothly. Only one hangup that was user error. For some reason I completely missed uploading the updated core files. :frusty: After a lot of head smacking I got back on track and it's been great.
I have all my categories and products fixed up. Now I am trying to change the way the pages like specials, shipping & returns, conditions of use, etc. look.
I have followed the directions and added a new record in the ceon_uri_mappings table. I have tried to add in the proper settings and this is where I am hung up. I have been working on the Specials page. And I've also tried the Shipping & Info page. I haven't tried any others.
My shop is not in the root but is in a folder. I have tried various combinations of what I should put in the uri field and in the main_page field but I can't seem to figure out what works. I have made sure that current_uri is set to 1, the language_id is set to 1 (since all the others were 1 I figured that was the right number), and I used NOW function to put a date in date_added. The other fields are NULL except for redirection_type which is 301.
I want this: /patternshop/index.php?main_page=specials
to turn into this: /patternshop/specials or something similar if it is possible.
Thanks for any help!

Hope I didn't confuse anyone but if you have your zen cart loaded on your root domain and you would like to have a blog or forum or anything else, then you can create a subdomain and create an .htaccess file in that subdomain.

Does anyone know if this module works with Fast and easy checkout. Thank you.
Hi,
FEC is a poorly written module, so I don't recommend using it on any store, but many sites (hundreds) are indeed using it fine with Ceon URI Mapping.Quote:

Saying that though, this was my first experience with the Easy Sign up and Login functionality and it was a terrible one.. why anyone would put their customers through that I don't know.. I personally think it could only damage a store's sales as people will be put off by the large number of fields displayed on one page. I certainly found it an intimidating form to fill in. And that's before I encountered the problem of it constantly asking me to "pick a state from the dropdown" when it wasn't displaying a dropdown! A very frustrating experience.
So.. my recommendation is if you're going to use FEC, use the better normal version, not the AJAX version.
Anyone else here have any experience with these modules?

I had always used Clyde Jones' awesome "Order Steps - Tableless" mod for ALL my clients so that the checkout page was cleaner and more intuitive looking for customers..
However, I had 1 or 2 clients who felt that signing up for a store account was confusing or intimidating for customers and wanted to look into the possibility of offering these customers an option of checking out without an account. The earlier versions of the COWOA mod had it's own set of issues which made it an undesireable solution for me to rollout to my clients. So I began looking into FEC as an option since it included the COWOA option.
I've not implented FEC on any of my client's sites, but I have been doing some extensive testing of it on my test site for a while now..
Ultimately once I got it all setup and working (sort of), my clients didn't like it at all.. In particular they did not like the WAY it looked.. They preferred the look and feel that the "Order Steps - Tableless" gave the checkout pages over the FEC look and feel..
For my side of things, I was concerned with the sheer number of new files that FEC included.. I also discovered that there are some conflicts with other mods (most notably the current version of the Gift Wrap mod), and frankly I found the whole "one screen" look not only a LOT more intimidating looking than the normal checkout, but it was a bit of a challenge to make this "one screen" layout look good with certain store layouts/templates...
Also with regards to the included Super Orders files, I had to do a fair amount of work to get it updated and merged with the latest version of Super Orders. Not to mention that the required changes to orders.php and packingslip.php were not all carried over exactly the same way to their Super Orders counterparts. There was no invoice.php with the FEC code so I had to create it and it's Super Orders counterpart super_invoice.php.
Attempting to integrate other checkout mods such as "Add Shipping Telephone" was a nightmare, and I never REALLY got it all working as it should..
All this said, I haven't yet tried throwing in Ceon URI Mapping to the mix yet, but I can already see that this will not be a happy marriage.. :no:
So now that COWOA is updated and supposed to be improved, I am going to give that a looksee.. The new versions seem to have worked out all the kinks from the earlier versions that turned me off of this mod.. AND on the surface it looks like it will play nice with Ceon URI Mapping..
My only "beef" with COWOA is the fact that it bundles in the "Order Steps - Tableless" mod. It's not that I am NOT a fan of this mod (I think I established that I am), I am just not a fan of mods which bundle in other mods as part of the core base.. It forces people to use a mod they MAY NOT want to use, AND IMHO it makes updates to COWOA twice as tedious for the mod authors because they not only have to keep up with Zen Cart changes, but they also have to keep up with changes to the bundled in mods as well..
That said my next client demo will be COWOA, Order Steps - Tableless, Add Shipping Telephone, and FINALLY Ceon URI Mapping.. I think this will be the combo my client's will like.. (and the combo that will give me the least amount of headaches)

I have a computer store and there is many product and they have same name. So when your module generates url, they becomes all same instead generating unique url.
As a result on search result i can see 5 different products, but no matter which one i click they all goes to only one links!
Not sure if this is with my system only...but its an error That I can make sure.
Let me know if you have a solution of this.
Thanks in advance!
And Conor's documentation and support posts in this support thread make it CLEAR that this will create issues with this mod.. All products MUST have a unique name in order for this mod to work correctly..

Don't just think of yourself! :)
So change the product names to something more sensible (I see no reason products should ever have the same name, two products aren't the same or you'd sell them as one), and regenerate their URIs ORQuote:

That'll have each product having a unique URI.
All the best..

IMHO this is but ONE of the many reasons why this is the best SEO mod available for Zen Cart, and I for one hope he NEVER changes one of it's key features..Quote:
