Conor, can I use htaccess 301 redirect to redirect my existing site pages to my new site pages? The new site pages having been named with the Ceon URI mapping tool?
I cant' get it to work - I don't get an error, but I don't get redirected, either. So I thought I'd check here first, and see if maybe this is the issue.
Here's a line in my htaccess file:
redirect 301 /acatalog/Scrapbook_Supplies_Stamping_Supplies.html http://www.apeekintoyesterday.com/st...d-payment-only
Hi,
The module allows you to redirect old URIs to new ones by entering "historical" URIs manually in the database.Quote:

# The number representing the language ID this URI mapping applies for should be entered in the language_id field.
# The current_uri field should be set to “0” to make this a “historical” URI.
# The Zen Cart page to be mapped to should be entered in the main_page field. For the category page this is:
index
# The associated_db_id should be entered. This is the ID of the category, which seems to be:
558
# The date/time this URI mapping was added should be set in the date_added field (or just use the “NOW()” SQL function).
The alternate_uri and query_string_parameters fields are not used, they must be left as “NULL”.
That should be all you need to know to get this working. The URIs will redirect using a 301 to the "current" URI (/store/send-payment-only).
All the best...

Conor, I'm a bit lost. But I also don't think I asked my question correctly. I have an existing site in production. Once I bring my ZC live, I need to redirect my old site to the new. I was going to build an .htaccess file of all the old pages with a mapping to the ZC pages. This would redirect search engines and customers to my new pages if they try to access my existing site.
If you answer still applies, where in the database do I enter this? I don't see a place under the Ceon tool under "modules", or in the catalog pages.
Thanks!
Hi,
You did, I understood exactly what you wanted to do!Quote:

I can't teach you how to use it though, that's something you'll have to look up for yourself. There are plenty of guides on the internet on how to use it - and if you're going to run a website it's a good skill to have! :)Quote:

Conor, now I'm confused about the overall logistics, or timing, of this.
Using the .htacess approach, I was just going to move that one file to the server, and that would "flip the switch" and make my ZC site live, and retire my other site.
If I build it in the database via myphp, I'm going to get into an issue with how to "flip the switch" so at one point in time the old goes away and the new is in its place.
Hi,
How? The databases would be different! (I don't want an answer to that question.. I'm just pointing out that you won't just be changing a .htaccess file!)Quote:

This isn't really appropriate talk for this thread though, it's not to do with the module but your server switchover. I'd suggest starting a new thread if you want to discuss this further in public.

Hi there,
Im trying to install this mode because it looks very helpful. However i have some troubles with it.
When i follow installation instruction when it is done, i got blank page in when i try to access /admin.
I put back old files and saw that when this file is placed the blank page issue appear : admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/ceon_uri_mapping.php
Any ideas why this file make admin area to crash like this?
Thank you in advance
Hi,
You can't just put one file back and expect things to work! :)Quote:

If any of the files are missing Zen Cart will fail with a PHP error. As Zen Cart disables error reporting by default, this will result in a blank page being displayed.
You must upload all of the files for the module to work, you cannot be selective.
Hope that helps!
All the best...

So i tough that there is some error or something wrong with this file...
I will try to place your files instead of change my files, in this case i will see if i did something wrong during instalation...
i just tried to copy the files from archive to the server not to change my files. The result is the same... blank admin page.
i forgot to mention that i use 1.3.8a
Thank you for replay
