Hi,
I have installed mailhive and I have a problem with cronless that is not able to launch the job.
After lots of searching, I found that disabling CEON URI mapping cronless can launch the job.
Please see http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=303 and subsequent posts on this matter.
I think the problem could be solved simply by adding a line in htaccess telling to not rewrite a file url but, I do not know the sintax used to write the rule.
Can some one help me?
Thanks
enzo
Hello conor,
How are you,hope you have a good day,
my website use the Ceon url mapping very well, and these days I found a isuue, which is a problem for me, it production two different address for one same product
for example:
1. when I visit my website, then click the sub catagory, then I click one product like hyundai 145 DVD, then it displayed http://www.jewellet.com/Hyundai-I45-...I45-Navigation
this link is correct just as I manual generated.
but when I click the top of the small flash show of product, see this
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/attach...1&d=1299655166
when you click the right or left button on the top flash picture,
then it make another link like http://www.jewellet.com/6-2-quot--Hy...card_p727.html
and both link can visit, is there any ways to display the same one? Thank you very much.

Hi Enzo,
You seem to like posting here. :)
I would guess that whatever the path to the cron script is that you need to add it to the rewrite rule as an exclusion like the cpanel/admin lines.. and/or you need to add the path to the exclusions section of Ceon URI Mapping Config in the admin.Quote:

Hi Alan,
Thanks, I'm afraid I'm going to be quite unwell for quite a few months so won't be posting here as often.Quote:

Ok I did it on my own.
I just mod the file includes/extra_datafiles/ceon_uri_mapping_config.php
adding what in red and voilą it works perfectly now.

Hi,
I just installed Ceon, and it seems the installation was ok.
I then went to one of the products, and checked the
TEXT_URI_MAPPING_PRODUCT_URIS_AUTOGEN
at the end of the page.
After refreshing I get a 404, and notice in the address bar that while it has rewritten the uri, but has left
?zenid=ucu493kk3rtqtgvju9do9rocc0
at the end of it
the_site/bracelets/amber-bracelet-0101?zenid=ucu493kk3rtqtgvju9do9rocc0
Can you please tell me what is wrong?
I don't know if it can be related, but in the admin>modules I see all the references like this
admin>modules>BOX_CEON_URI_MAPPING
Thank you.Quote:

Hi,
I reported problems with CEON URI mapping module and Sitemap XML. Problems is that google webmaster tool says:
HTTP Error: 301 and
URLs not followed
When we tested a sample of URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs redirect to other locations. We recommend that your Sitemap contain URLs that point to the final destination (the redirect target) instead of redirecting to another URL.
What is the problem? and how to solve it?
Thanks in advance for prompt help!
Br, Tomek
Without a link to your site and the URLs that Google took issue with, it would be a shot in the dark to help you resolve your issue..
You will need to provide much more explicit details on your situation..

No, that's because you haven't uploaded the language file for the admin.. upload all the files again, taking care to upload them one by one as your FTP software may not be very good. If you still have problems, check you are uploading to the "correct" admin folder (not "admin") and that the files have uploaded successfully. If they haven't, use better FTP software.Quote:

Hi,
This is most likely caused by enabling the option in Google Sitemaps XML configuration that adds the language to the end of the URI.Quote:

Disable it and ?language= won't be added to the end of the URIs in the sitemap, causing the redirects to disappear.

Thank you very much Conor.
As it turned out, I had indeed forgotten to load the .htaccess.
As per the admin side, I had loaded all the files correcly, I was using the Italian language instead of English, I switched to English, and all is fine.
Hi
I've installed ceon uri mapping 3.8.0 on a zen cart version 1.3.9f.
Two issues I'm trying to figure out
The first issue is when checking out with paypal. I can checkout and make payment but after payment I get returned to a blank page whether I click the return link or wait for it to auto return.
When I go back to the site I see the order in admin but the order doesn't show up in PayPal Instant Payment Notifications and the stock level has not been reduced. In the storefront I see the item still in the cart. I'm hoping it is something simple to resolve in the htaccess.
The other issue is the admin url. If this type of url is used
I get redirected to the storefront, so to get in to admin this kind of url needs to be usedHTML Code:http://website.com/zc_admin
I think it must be something in the htaccess. This is what is being used in the htaccess file.HTML Code:http://website.com/zc_admin/login.php
The last two strings is what is original to the file.
Any help would be really appreciated.
HTML Code:RewriteEngine On
# 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} !^/zc_admin[NC]
# Don't rewrite editors directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/editors [NC]
# Don't rewrite cPanel directories

Hi,
As Ceon URI Mapping is not used for any of the checkout pages and has an exclusion built in for PayPal IPN I'm afraid that your problems can't be caused by it. The same applies for the admin problem, the rewrite rule exclusion means it never gets called for the admin address.Quote:

Conor
ceon
that is so odd. I've never had need to touch the configure files.
Thank you for responding so quickly. Now I know I need to check elsewhere.
I have ceon uri mapper on my own site too and a test paypal checkout does return to my store after payment.
Thank you for your valuable attention. It was the solution!Quote:

Hello,
I'm having an issue with SOME sub categories NOT listing on side menu when category selected.
ie Birkenstock
If I disable the SEO ceon module it works fine.
y o d g ee.com.au
An working one is Sendra Boots.
You will notice the top CSS menu shows the sub categories.
Any ideas why SOME not working on left menu?

Weird situation that I looked at earlier in Sub Categories DON"T display in side menu.
When most top cats with subcats (e.g.Birkenstock) are clicked from sidebox or header dropdown menu, a subcat product listing displays instead of the subcat listing, and the sidebox doesn't expand to show the subcats or highlight the current cats.
When the dropdown is followed to a subcat and clicked, the correct subcat product listing displays and the sidebox shows top & subs, with current path highlighted.
One or two categories with subcats (e.g. Sendra Boots) work as normal.
Hi there.
I thought I'd try this module out again together and also ultimate seo urls on two seperate test sites.. They both come up with the same error for me and I was wondering if anyone has encountered the same problem?!?
I use a shared ssl secure connection for my shop and am coming up with an error upon trying to access the login page -
ERROR message -
Not Found
The requested URL /tshop2/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2 Server at web121.secure-secure.co.uk Port 443
This server error message occurs on both Ultimate seo urls and Ceon URI Mapping. I'm pretty sure I've honed it down to something to do with the shared ssl connection which shows a username in the url like this -
web121.secure-secure.co.uk/USERNAME/tshop2/etc...
I'll bet if shared ssl is switched off it will work fine. In fact I'll do that tomorrow. Is there a remedy for this or am i completely barking up the wrong tree?
Login is working fine without the seo plugins.
Thanks, Paintamonkey
Sorry. I just googled the problem and found a post where you say the shared ssl won't work.
My hosting company charges quite a bit for a proper ssl. Not sure what I'll do. Hmmmm...

Instead shows ALL Birkenstock products. Also doesn't display Women and Mens Sub Category link below 'Birkenstock link' after clicked.
Lower on the side menu click on Sendra Boots.
You will see that the Sub Categories show under 'Sendra Boots' and that the main page content displays sub Categories for selection. Men and Women.
Disable CEON works correctly. Enable CEON then above happens.
Some of sidemenu works.. some don't.
Thanks.
You will need a dedicated IP and SSL for your shop to run safely and if you want people to buy from you.Quote:

If your host is charging over $150ish for this then your getting ripped off. (though prices may be cheaper now from last time I looked)
You can buy the SSL certificate yourself but they will still have to install it.

It can be hard to help sometimes otherwise. :)Quote:

Ceon URI Mapping can't tell where the user came from - what "kind" of link they are clicking on - so it simply matches the first occurence of /birkenstock in the database.. which on your site must be the manufacturer.
So you need to go through either your list of categories or your list of manufacturers and change the clashing URIs for one or the other.
For your particular site I'd recommend going through your list of manufacturers and adding /brand before each.. e.g. /brand/birkenstock
You'll have to manually do this but it's worth the effort and will get things working.

Hi,
Thanks for the nice comments, that makes all the time spent developing and supporting it feel that bit more worthwhile! :)Quote:

Obviously I can't say for sure how it would affect your particular store, as servers differ as do the effects of having a differing number of products.
Realistically I don't see how it could be sped up all that much more, as there is really only a single query necessary to match an exact URI and it is the one that needed optimising previously.
There may be opportunities to further enhance the speed of the software by adjusting the code and any subsequent language check queries etc. but no-one has complained about/mentioned the speed since the changes in 3.6.3 so I can only think of that as a positive sign.
4.0.0 is in development and if issues were to be found with extremely large stores I'd be willing to see what could be done for 4.2.0 to optimise the software further as after 4.0.0 the software should be feature complete and bug free (nothing left to work on except possibly speed, if considered worthwhile bothering).
We're closing up for the weekend now so apologies for not being able to reply further until next week.
Have a nice weekend.

It would load content about SENDRA Boots with WOmens and Mens buttons under it. These are now missing.
Any reason why edited the Manufacturer would change that aspect?
As for the non full URL. I think it's more professional to keep this separate. Only in my opinion.
Thanks for all your help. It really is a great MOD.
Further: I edited all Manufacturer's to
/brand/brandname as suggested. Still same issue of subcategory's not listing on the main page any longer.
Further: I edited all Manufacturer's to
/brand/brandname as suggested.
Also think the rest of issue is mine.
Listing correctly now.. but for some reason showing sub category on home page.
I do have show sub categories on.. but these were not previously loading on home page... but were when top category selected on the home.
Anyways thanks again.
Hi,
It looks fine to me? Either way, this is most likely just a setting in Zen Cart. Maybe you've fixed this now?Quote:

Hello, i installed the latest ver. averything working great, my probelm is that most of my images are not jpg files they are file ext. how can i make them show up on my site without exchanging them to .jpg ext. ?
I've got most of my extra pages mapped in phpmyadmin. I've run into trouble with the news module links. The links look like this
/index.php?main_page=more_news&news_id=1
I've been reading the documentation for, Specifying the current URI Mapping for any other Zen Cart page
I've tried to follow the directions but I guess I'm just not getting it.
Should this be split between main_page and query_string_parameters
more
more_news&news_id=1
I've tried numerous variations but still no luck. I either get the url I want that leads to a page not found, or I get the zen generated link to the correct page.
I had everything working great until I upgraded my Zen Cart. At first I thought the uri module was out of date so I went to the Ceon site and installed the latest version.
Now I am running into a little problem, it is only mapping uri's for categories I make, but not for individual products. What do you think could be wrong?
I got it.
main_page - more_news
query_string_parameters - news_id=1

I have installed this mod on 2 sites now and it works great apart from an issue I am having with my customer login.
When you try to login to the site and press submit the page loads up blank as if it needs to redirect but it is not doing it. If I then go back to the home page by typing in the website address I am infact logged in.
Any ideas to fix this as I have had to disable this module until I solve this issue.
Blank pages = Errors.. You need to check your cache error logs after getting the blank page and see what the error log says. Post the contents of you error logs.Quote:

Hi,
You can't use a shared SSL certificate with a URI Mapped site.. static URIs mean that you can't have the non-SSL version of the site at root and the SSL version in a subfolder.. that won't work.Quote:

Hi
If the product linked to other category there is "cPath=..." appears at the end of the URI if you list product in non master category. Is there any way to remove "cPath =..." from the link?

If you look at any canonical link for a product page with a mapped (static) URI in Ceon URI Mapping, you'll find that the cPath is not (and never has been) present. It's only used in the non-canonical URI in the address bar.
The answer to your question is no. It may have the cPath in the link product category address bar, but if you look in the source of both of those pages (main category and link category) you'll see that Ceon URI Mapping cleverly sets the following tag for BOTH the above URIs: the same So search engines know that they're both the same URI, with slight variations on the page. That's ideal and exactly how you want thingsQuote:

I've installed the module and it looks good. However, I've noticed that once a product is 'added to cart' and then shows up linked in the cart, the path is looooong... It has the newly mapped uri I specified ANHD then a long product number and assorted characters... Also in the 'View Shopping' cart sidebar. If I click on the product coming out of the Categories, it shows the correct shorter, readable path I gave it.
Did I do something wrong in my install? Running 1.3.8a. This is a downloadable music store (to be.. that is.. only a few downloads in there sofar)
Thanks for your help.

Let me just restate this problem in case I wasn't clear: I set uri's for categories and products, which work fine. But.. when an item is added to the shopping cart and I click that highlighted item in the shopping cart, it now shows 1) the new uri I did and.. 2) a hugely long product number and ids.... What did I miss? Can someone help me identifying this problem>
Thanks for a great mod though.

Hi,
The "extra info" appended to the URI upon clicking a link in the shopping cart is the information added by Zen Cart for the selected attributes for the product.. if that was removed then when someone clicked on a product in the shopping cart, the product page would be displayed with only the default values selected, not the actual selections made by the customer.Quote:

Thank you for the reply. Mmmhhh... that creates a page then that has a really unsightly url now. Mine AND about 2 dozen numbers. Wonder if I could de-activate those links in the shopping cart. Gotta look into that. I don't think I want those huge urls now... besides, it creates dup content..
Another issue if you don't mind: My preview audio player is Wimpy and the clips it uses are stored in the media folder. They don't play any longer and I believe it is due to the htaccess file I added to the root folder of the site... That I need fixed asap... if you could give me some advice that would be supa!
Yolanda
Actually this is not true.. Re-read Conor's post.. The extra data added is to make it EASIER for shopper who wish to return to the product page perhaps because they wanted to add an additional quantity to the cart or change a color.. None of this behavior creates duplicate content as these links are only valid for this customer for this order during this session and for that reason the search engines are not going to find these links.. Hence NO DUPLICATE CONTENT..Quote:

Hi,
It doesn't create duplicate content.. that's what I was talking about in the last post about canonical URIs.Quote:

HTML Code:<link rel="canonical" href="http://music.shredmistress.net/female-transgendered-band-glamazon-download-holywar">
Sorry I don't know anything about this player. I can't help you with it.Quote:

Thank you Connor and divavocals for the insight. Got it.. nothing to worry about then. I thought I messed up! One of my products (guitar lessons) doesn't have attributes and that shows up fine in the cart. But yeah... I'm good. I am liking the fact that I can customize the products and categories and ez pages... very cool!
In regards to Wimpy player: I added an additional exception into the htaccess file for the 'media' folder. That's where the clips sit. They play now.
Best wishes
Yolanda
Many thanks Conor for taking the time to address my issue with the Google Checkout. Although I still have a couple of minor issues still to resolve, the respective servers are now talking to one another.
P.S. I agree with your comments regarding the checkout module, although I find it strange that only one version was ever written back in 2007 and never updated since. There could be a good earner there for a good software writer.
Thanks again Conor.
Gonna keep this brief as it is off-topic.. Somewhere in the Google Checkout Wiki or Google forum for this module there is a post which states that the original developer abandoned this project with no plans for further development..Quote:

When I visit the product page under the master category on my website, the URI has no cPath extension.
When I visit the product page under the linked category on my website, the URI does have the cPath extension. Nothing wrong here.
If I now link the product to a category with a LOWER number (say 80), I have a problem.....
When I visit the product page under the master category on my website, the URI now has a cPath extension.
When I visit the product page under the new linked category (category 80) on my website, the URI does not have the cPath extension.
It's as though URI mapping is taking the lowest category number rather than the master category number as the main category for the product.
This doesn't seem right to me. I'm not on the latest version of URI mapping so this could already be fixed!
Has anyone else ever noticed this one?
Hi,
Sorry, there's no logical reason for that to happen and it's not been reported by anyone else. I can't explain it but doubt it's anything to do with the module.Quote:

Which version of Zen Cart are you using? There was a bug in versions prior to ZC v1.3.9 that might cause what you are seeing.Quote:

Ezpages cna not be created as standard in two languages so I found the mod that do that.
I installed it and it overwrote the ceon ezpages module so the thick this box desappeared.
Returned to the original ceon core file and no problembut no miltilanguage function.
I tryed to mix up the two ezpage files, adding the mods present in the ceon one to the one for multilanguage, but it did not work.
Is it possible to have ezpages with multilanguage function and ceon uri alltogether?
Thanks
enzo
Hi enzo,
Yes, but it requires custom coding to merge the URI Mapping modifications with the Mutli-lang modifications for the EZ-pages.Quote:

Hi Conor & you all :wink:
I'm having problems with this mod in the db (ceon_uri_mappings table) I can see that it generates mapings for cat/prod I edited. But on the website links are still zenCart standard plus standard links are not working I get 404 erorr :frusty:
I'm on 1.3.9h and I'v used 1.3.9d for merging (WinMerge) with my store files (ImageHandler v2.0 , ZenLightBox v1.6.2 , EasyPopulate_v1.2.5.6 & include_and_exclude_tax_in_prices_nettgross_1-23a adds instaled before)
.htaccess file is as folows

Hi Jacob,
You CAN'T use a test folder for a URI Mapped site.. as soon as you move from /test to / all of your URIs will be broken.Quote:

This is wrong, if the .htaccess file is /.htaccess then the slash at the start breaks it (/test/index.php should be test/index.php). If the .htaccess file is /test/.htaccess then you should have index.php (not /test/ or test/).Quote:

thanks Conor for your reply
But it did not help. I moved test store to a sub domain as you said now it's under http://test.alarmy-e.pl chacked includes/functions/html_output.php and WinMerge claims it's identical to file downloaded with Ceon URi also changed .htaccess to
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I wonder shoulden't there be a an optnion to turn URi of in the config admin section?
Thanks again:smile:

Just thought I'd come back and let you know I've found a fix to the problem I was having where the cPath extension was incorrectly appended to the end of the URIs.
As Conor said, it is nothing to do with the URI mapping module, it's a problem in the zen_get_product_path function.
The code to fix is here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...aster+category
Hope this helps!
Hi,
Yes, thanks that was interesting.. a silly Zen Cart bug, surprised it's only fixed in 1.4.0 and not in 1.3.9.. at least we know what to say if anyone else has the same problem!Quote:

Hi there
I am just testing a build for 1.3.9h before migrating some sites.
The url is http://www.klasicke-kristalove-lustry.cz/
Unfortunately when you login from the home page then it returns a 404 error!!. This does not happen when I turn off the CEON url rewrite!!
Any idea what the problem is?
This is the htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^klasicke-kristalove-lustry.cz [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.klasicke-kristalove-lustry.cz/$1 [L,R=301]
# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])

Hi,
Have you enabled SSL for the store?Quote:

I notice something that might be considered a bug in the category and product related mapping.
When I enter a custom mapping for a category, the products under that category don't make use of the custom category mapping, instead auto generating the default category mapping as part of the auto generated product mapping.
Would it be possible to modify the code to fix this? I would imagine that anyone who is creating a custom category mapping would want it to be used when auto generating the mapping for any products in the category.
Hi,
That's not a bug, no, it's just the way the module has been designed to work. Every man and his dog has their own idea about what format their URI Mapping should take and we had to settle on a default style for the module. Of course, since the module lets you enter mappings manually you are free to use whatever format suits you.Quote:

However, a kludgey but effective solution for you would be to temporarily rename the master category for the products you want to use a custom URI mapping to a name that autogenerates the category "part" that you want, go through and generate your product mappings for that category, then rename the category back to it's original name.
That should make things easier for you.
Another alternative is a SQL search and replace but a description of how to do that is a bit beyond the scope of this thread.

But iven though I cleard my head through the easter break I still can't go over some problems with URi mapings. I've got the instalation write and data base is fine & configs in the backend are as it suppose to be. But something weird hapened with stock links generated by zenCart they look like this:
test.alarmy-e.pl/testindex.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=96&products_id=460
while they should be
test.alarmy-e.pl/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=96&products_id=460
why is "test" appended before "index.php" ? what did I do wrong(again:wacko:) this time let me ad that "test" is the name the katalog where my testing store is instaled.
Thanks for Your help
Jacob
Got It:bigups:
found my mistake! My configure.php(store side) in line's defining main catalog was:
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', 'test/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', 'test/');
but of course it should be:
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
(have no idea why i put it in there:frusty:)
FINALY:clap: now it seems that everything is working as it suppose to
Hi
I'm having same problem as:
the code that is underQuote:

that code is :
/ first, try to get master category id

from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c
where p.products_id = '" . (int)$products_id . "'
and p.products_status = '1'
and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and p.master_categories_id = p2c.categories_id";
// in case the master category is invalid, fall back on getting first product/category association instead
$category_query .= " union distinct select p2c.categories_id
from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c
where p.products_id = '" . (int)$products_id . "'
and p.products_status = '1'
and p.products_id = p2c.products_id limit 1";
(additions to original code in red)
But (I'm on 1.3.9) in functions_categories.php
I'v got:
$category_query = "select p.products_id, p.master_categories_id
from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p
where p.products_id = '" . (int)$products_id . "' limit 1";
So tell me how that "fix" is supose to help if "oryginaly" master_categories_id is taken from products table??
