Quite simply, you've messed up merging the file.

Fix the admin/ezpages.php file and things will work as expected!

lol no, you're not seeing any bugs, you have simply made a mistake.. there's only one bug in 4.0.8 and it's that the JavaScript selection of the rewrite rule was mistakenly broken between 4.0.7 and 4.0.8 (oops, sorry about that, fixed in next version!).

All the best...

Thanks for such a great mod, I moved on over from Simple SEO URLs, best decision I've ever made :clap:

I'm glad you like the software, thanks for the nice comments, makes all the work on it feel that bit more worthwhile!

As for your query, that's already possible but I'm afraid I'm not allowed to talk about it here.

All the best...

Good thing is nothing broke when I imported the categories. :clap:

The well written readme that comes with this add-on is VERY clear that in order to create URIs for an existing store you will have to edit each category or product manually.

Can you import the URI's into the databse using phpMyAdmin?? Yes you can, but to facilitate this you will need to create a data file with all 8000 products and add the URI's to this data file, then import this data file via phpMyAdmin.

or

as several of us have spoken of FREQUENTLY you can purchase the Ceon URI Mapping Manager from Ceon's website. This was just recently mentioned a few days ago on this support thread (http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=449) which is why I always say it's a good idea to read through the support thread.. there's ALWAYS good information posted, and most questions are already answered..

The Mappings Manager will do many things including auto generating URIs for existing stores.

Not buggy at all.. Conor makes oneof the few mods that I can say is TRULY bug/trouble-free.. Like Conor said, it really sounds like you've made some mistakes with your install.. Roll back to the state BEFORE installing Ceon URI and simply start over making sure you take care to carefully MERGE the core file overwrites to include any modifications you may have already made to these files..

**Nods in agreement**:yes:

I have just installed this addition v.4.0.8 to Zen 1.5 and everything seems just perfect - except I get a 404 page when I try to access the product page.

When I run the config check I get this:

Congratulations! All the checks passed!

No problems were found with the settings in the store's configuration files.......

The path to the .htaccess file can't be constructed as there appears to be a problem with the paths in the store's configure.php file. The catalog folder, //, is not the end part of the path to the store: /homedir/dir/public_html/mysite/.

The values for DIR_WS_CATALOG and DIR_FS_CATALOG should be checked and fixed.


I have tried various values in DIR_WS_CATALOG such as /

I also tried adding a slash to the front of /index.php in the rewrite rule.


Excuse this very basic question but I have added your sample rewrite rule to the bottom of includes/.htaccess - is that the right place for it?

No excuses needed! You were just getting a bit ahead of yourself.. you need to fix the problems with the configure.php first.. once fixed the software will have been able to tell you to put the rewrite rule in the folder beneath includes folder.. the rewrite rule doesn't go in the .htaccess file in the includes folder.

Send me some (temporary if needs be but with full write permissions) FTP and admin details and I'll fix the configure.php file and put the rule in the .htaccess file it is supposed to go in.

On a fresh Zen Cart installation you normally have to create a new .htaccess file, the rule doesn't go inside any of Zen Cart's existing .htaccess files.

All the best...

Thanks for the quick response, I can't give you a login as this is not my site, I am just doing some work on it for someone.

Can I send you a copy of the configure.php file?

If the rewrite rule is still there then reinstalling the software from scratch might help fix whatever you/someone else has changed.

Hope that helps!

Thank you very much.

It was the .htaccess file. For some unknown reason, the .htaccess file ended up in my admin folder. I think I know who made that error!

I appreciate the quick support.

I am currently using Simple seo URL rewrite mod and having PCI compliant issues when using it. Does anyone have any issues with passing PCI compliance with this MOD?

Also is there anyone that has switched to this mod from SEO URL and managed to map products and data easily to prevent loss of Search engine traffic?

No, I won't provide support for free via a backwards and forwards approach, sorry. I offered to help in this way because it would save me time. Life is short!

Good luck in getting this sorted.

All the best..
