Hello,
I have installed the ceon uri mapping, done all the checks install and the htaccess etc.
I am now up to actually putting in my own page link titles.
I have done it both on automatic and on me writing in my own.
It shows in my admin that the new website link name has been accepted (shows the new link name in a green banner)
When I go to the link it is the old website link and when I type it in manually my self, it just shows my homepage.
Here is the one that i did as a test incase you need it ... https://craftjam.co.uk/hello (should show my clearence page)
I have checked debug logs and therearent any.
Thank you
Amy
If you go to configuration->Ceon URI (SEO) Mappings. What are the current settings?Quote:

Since you are so good at this, do you know the answer...
I am happy for it to auto generate the names for most of the products, however it doesn't work automatically. I have to go into each product, and then click save for it to register.
Will I have to do this for everything or is there some way to refresh something to get them to just do it?
THank you
Amy
If I may. You will have to do it manually with this free plugin. There is/was CEON URI Mapping Manager - I think it was called, a paid commercial plugin which would do it automatically.Quote:

And I think I have seen some posts around here indicating that ceon.net has an updated version available that goes along with version 5 of this module (separate forum for version 5).Quote:

I am using php 7.2. Is this the source of my problem?
PHP 7.2 is more strict than its predecessors. This define doesn't show in a plain 1.5.6c install but, a search with Developers Tool Kit looking for a define statement of the constant should find the bad define. Even if it is defined as null (two single quotes 'nothing in between') should keep 7.2 from complaining.Quote:

I have managed to access the installer for ZC by adding .php at the end of /zc_install ... also refer to image where after completing the installation process the links to admin and store do not include the suffixes (/login.php and /index.php respectively) so they also resolve to page not found. It is terribly frustrating.Quote:

Attachment 18711
the ceon module has never liked other domains in subfolders. As you have to traverse the main domains folder (public_html) the .htaccess for the main domain get processed and then it tries to handle the url with the main domain instead of ignoring and sending you to the correct folder. So go into the .htaccess file and look for the section with a bunch of the followingdplicate one of them and change the folder name to match the new folder name your having issues with, that should keep the site above that folder from interferring.Code:# Don't rewrite "SOME_DIRECTORY_NAME" directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/some_folder_name/ [NC]

The difference expected to be the addition of the new directory(ies) that are not listed currently.
Basically if the Web address path is not excluded from that listing, then the database will be searched for the information in the address and processed by the referenced store. There are other rewrite rule methods that can be used to inspect the server files and if the request is back to an existing file (whatever it may be or contain) then the site's code is ignored.
Yeah what he said...
thanks mc123456789 .... a detailed explanation which again confirms the complexity of CEON and the pain it causes for those like me who do not fully understand its quirks, and specifically for my purposes at least as I do not use the finesses that this program offers, I just require url redirection. For others it is apparently the best code ever written.
Hence with the rebuild I am likely to revert to USU - it begs the question, without adding that code to the .htaccess can I expect the same thing to happen when I next want to upgrade a site using the rebuild process as described earlier (rhetorical question) ... fopr the uninitiated the answer would be yes.
Food for thought .... to avoid this situation from repeating in the future, which takes up valuable time and resources on both sides of the forum screen .....
So would it be a pertinent thing to consider modifying the ZC install instructions, or adding a special condition advice, where it covers running zc_install and gives example mydomain/zc_install and mydomain/catalog/zc_install to read mydomain/zc_install.php and mydomain/catalog/zc_install.php so that it will actually run? The instructions state that the ZC program is smart enough to know what to look for, and it is for upgrades or new installs but it appears that where CEON is already installed and the rebuild method is used that CEON overrides ZC .... for the reasons you elaborated on above. Through frustrating trial and error I stumbled upon that 'solution' - even when the install is complete, as per the image above, the urls will not work for someone who has CEON installed. Problematic to say the least :smile:
cheers,
Mike
I'm curious, in your server's response about the page not being found, was there anything about a 404 error?Quote:

Glad I ran across this post. Trying to upgrade a client who is on 1.54 and has ceon running. Her site has gone wonky and even the upgrade is being made difficult with all kinds of crazy redirects. This may be the issue I have been banging my head trying to figure out. even a test site in a subdirectory is redirecting to the main page of her live site.
Is it possible to use auto generate option to generate URI for product with out including category name e.g.
Instead of www.store.com/books/life-is-good
Looking to get www.store.com/life-is-good
Can be done with the commercial version otherwise would have to find and modify code to specifically address removal at the auto-generation point.Quote:

I just uploaded a bunch of products via Easy Populate for a client, would now like to generate URI's.
Here are the versions being used (old, I know):
ZC 1.5.4
Ceon URI v4.5.0
Way back on Page 195, there was discussion of how to get Ceon URI to auto-generate links on products (Posts #1945 & #1947). I tried DrByte's version first, then bobthemolder's but could not get either to work.
What I did was:
1. Drop the code into an empty php file that I named ceon_URI_generator.php
2. Uploaded the file to the Admin folder.
3. Logged into Admin.
4. Manually loaded the php file: MySite.com/Admin-Folder/ceon_URI_generator.php
For the older code (from post #1945), I received mysql_query warnings:
User accessed denied, link to server not established, etc.
DrByte's code (#1947) seemed to make a connection, but gave me a bunch of goblety gook.
Did I put the code in the wrong place? Or do I need different code to work with my ZC/Ceon versions?
Thanks,
Mike
Just on a technical note, the code from post #1945 seems to use raw mysql commands which I'm guessing are not connected in your case, whereas the usual zen cart 'way' is to use the global $db object, which can be used to fetch resultsets, e.g. instead of:Quote:
Originally Posted by Feznizzle

echo "<p>Click on a category to update it's products: <br/>";
while ($showthiscat = mysql_fetch_assoc($categories)){
echo "<a href='update-ceon-uri.php?updatecategory={$showthiscat['categories_id']}'>{$showthiscat['categories_name']}</a>, \n";
}
There is some kind of iterator support in recent versions of zencart, which you could use 'foreach' loops with, but for me they always return garbled results that aren't worth trying to work with, it's easier to just use an EOF test and call MoveNext() for me :)Code:// **if you are in a function, include this line** global db;
$categories = $db->Execute("SELECT * FROM zen_categories LEFT JOIN zen_categories_description ON zen_categories.categories_id = zen_categories_description.categories_id WHERE zen_categories.categories_status='1'");
echo "<p>Click on a category to update it's products: <br/>";
while (!$categories->EOF) {
echo "<a href='update-ceon-uri.php?updatecategory={$categories->fields['categories_id']}'>{$categories->fields['categories_name']}</a>, \n";
$categories->MoveNext();
}
So, to use the code from that post and you're running in the context of a zen cart page which has bootstrapped with application_top.php as it started loading, you'll possibly want to refactor it to use the $db object to achieve database connectivity.
Regarding find a way to generate and control the mappings, I don't understand why people do not buy the commercial mod (and get free support) to do this?
Is the value of people's time so low that it is worth spending hours (not) achieving a diy solution?
I did buy the comm mod, first for another site and then later I bought another copy for this site specifically. My first purchased copy was actually beta, prior to the first release. I was going back and forth with Conor, helping him trouble shoot.Quote:

Who is selling the comm mod these days and where can I go to buy?

Does anybody know the specs for the commercial mod? Will it work on a ZC154? Will I be able to install it as an "upgrade" to the free Ceon URI mod that is currently installed on my client's site (v4.5.0)?

Ceon URI Mapping V5 UMM Edition (inluded in Download files) must be installed before (or Ceon URI Mapping free edition upgraded to UMM Edition) Ceon URI Mappings Manager can be installed.
That's at least what I get out of reviewing the website for that product.
better to continue this in the current thread:

There is a reason why its called open source and not private source.
My bet is you have an open source android cell phone. hows about you fork over a big wad a cash to google so you can continue to use your android.
