Re: Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)
Hi,
This looks like a great mod (only if I can figure out what I'm not doing right)....Very easy to install and great documentation. Thank you for sharing and spending time working on it.
I've finally created a template and installed this mod a couple of days ago. There were no products in my database. I started entering products today using Easy Populate. In admin->modules->Ceon...config - I have auto generation set up as 'yes'.
However, every time I enter new products, the autogeneration is not working. It still shows a dynamic link...I've been trying to find a solution for the last couple of days and can't seem to find it.
I'm using ZC1.3.9h. Ceon 3.8.0. :frusty:

Ceon URI Mapping does not support Easy Populate uploading. You will have to do them manual, one at a time.

Re: Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)
I added this module to an existing cart with about 50 products. The installation went smoothly. The configuration is at the default settings. When I edit a category or product, tick the box to have the URI auto-generated for the category or product, the link to the file changes, but no page exists at that location - or no redirect is happening.
I click on the category or product link in the shop, and get a 404, file not found at the new-category/file-name.
I feel like I am missing the connection between the zen cart and .htaccess. My cart didn't have an .htaccess file in the root folder with the index.php file, so I created one, turned on mod rewrite, and added this to the file, because my admin is in zc_admin:
# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/zc_admin [NC]
Does the add-on write statements to the .htaccess file as URIs are auto or manually generated? When I installed the add-on, should it have created its own .htaccess file? Am I missing rules that should be added to the .htaccess file to make it work?
I've read everything I can find, and I still must be missing something. Can you shed some light?

Conor has provided a very detail read me file that comes with this module. All you have to do is read it to know that you have to make a .htaccess file and put it in the root of your server.
Make a .htaccess file and put in this information but change the admin folder to the custom name you are using.

Re: Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)
Thank you for the quick response. I had read the document several times, but did not realize that I should begin with one of the two example rules for the .htaccess file (store in root or not root), then modify the rule for the renamed admin location. In my case zc_admin.
Does exactly what we need now. :clap:
