I eventually sorted this out by using a sub-domain mapping so that 'mydomain.co.uk/new/' is mapped to 'new.mydomain.co.uk'. This means the same urls can be used.

Hi,
That´s the perfect solution. We too use subdomains for test sites instead of using subdirectories of a single site.. it makes things much easier to manage, is more logical and means that test sites can be made live sites simply by changing a line or two in a webserver config file! :)
I´m glad you´ve been able to get everything working as desired now!
All the best...

I am a newbie to zencart, and loving your mod, in theory only at the moment. I have installed the mod, onto the latest zencart however now ive renamed all the categories by editing each one, when i click through to them my site says page not found. is this because ive installed it incorrectly, or because my .htaccess file is incorrect?
if anyone has time to look my site is http://www.diytoolsgalore.com
many thanks in advance
James
Hi James,
It would appear your htaccess file isn't correct.. your server isn't loading any RewriteRules at all and simply giving a standard 404 page.
You should check:
1) If htaccess files can be used on your server. If not, get the rewrite rule added to the VirtualHost directive for your site.
2) If htaccess files can be used on your server then you must not have one in the correct directory.. the "root" directory of your shop.
Hope that helps! Glad you like the module! :)
All the best...

Found an error in the contribution (unless it's just conflicting with another contribution we installed).
When this contribution is installed and you click on a category that has a lot of products in it (requires more than one page to display the products), the link to the following pages (2, 3, etc) don't work. It leads back to the first page even though the URL in the address windows shows that it should be on the following page.
Here is an example:
http://www.atm-company.com/atm-parts/dispenser-cdu/sdd
Click on either "2" or "Next" to try to go to the 2nd page of products in this category. Leads right back to the first page products and thus cannot get to the other products in this category.
I did install the hideCategories contribution, so that may be what the problem is. Any help is appreciated so we can use the contribution.
Here is a link to the hideCategories contribution if you would like to view the files that are updated for that contribution:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=391
Thanks for your help.
Conor will get back to you I am sure but I had a similar thing and it turned out that none of my links were being re-written. It looks as if none of your internal links are being rewritten. ( so for instance when I hover over sdd in the menus I should see the re-writen link in the bottom left of the browser)
My error was due to me getting confused and messing up the install of html_output file. This is also a file that is altered in the recent security patch. So, perhaps this is your problem too.
As, i say Conor is the man for this mod, and always replies really promptly.
Hi Nick,
If you have modified the html_output.php file as required, all links within Zen Cart that use the zen_href_link function will work as required.
If you don't apply the necessary changes for the module to this file, it cannot generate the appropriate links for your site.
You cannot overwrite the html_output.php with a standard or updated version of the file and expect the module to work.. it's called modified_core_files for a reason! :)
All the best...

Since the domain I placed a link for was just a test domain (http://www.atm-company.com), I uploaded all of the files from the Ceon URI Mapping SEO 3-2-3 distribution and replaced all of the files on the server.
I'm still having the same issue. I went back into the admin section and re-confirmed the settings of Ceon. I also went back in and re-confirmed the category URI as well as all of the product URI's in the category (to make sure the old files didn't write to the DB incorrectly). Still no dice.
At this point I'm wondering if it's a software issue on the server. Here is what I have, let me know what else you need:
Zen Version: 1.3.8a
Server OS: Linux 2.6.28.9
PHP Version: 5.2.9 (Zend: 2.2.0)
Database: MySQL 5.1.30
HTTP Server: Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8i DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635
PHP Safe Mode: Off
register_globals On
Curl: 7.12.1
Python: 2.4.3
Perl: 5.8.8
Thanks for your help. I can't be the only one having this problem.
