Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[DivaVocals]

Hello,

Just wondering if theres been any update to this working with easy populate? I have a new store and populating it via EP, however theres roughly 4000 products and doing them one by one is out of the question :-)

If you are referring to Ceon's URI Manager software, it's a commercial product, so don't look for any response from Conor on this forum with regards to it. Discussions of commercial products is frowned upon and doing so could get Conor suspended if he engaged in talks about his commercial offerings. My suggestion is to go to Conor's site and speak with him directly there with regards to the URI Manager..

Is there anything I need to do when I move servers to get this mod working again. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello,

I have been asked to help transfer www.petsavenue.com.au (with Ceon URI Mapping 3.2.3) to a new server.

I don't know how to get the Rewrite Rule working. Its working on the current server; I just copied the database and files over to the new server and a 2nd testing server but the seo links go to blank pages or zecart Page Not Found pages
http://pepe6420.staging-zeus.netregistry.net (netregistry)
www.onlineshopdesign.net/pa_test (godaddy)

I would think godaddy should work with RewriteEngine On. I had a look at the .htaccess file but I don't think I need to change this. Maybe I need to edit something else, or there's some thing I can added to .htaccess file to get it working? I will keep looking into it later.

Hi
I have also stopped getting orders logged to my admin.
I am using Zen Cart 1.3.8a with no upgrade recently
I have been using Paypal IPN with no problems
I did recently install sitemapxml on 4/9/10 and ceon uri mapping on 4/20/10 and first order that didn't log (but payment received) was 4/21/10
I don't get a lot of orders yet and last order that logged was in March 2010
I ran ipncheck.php but all it shows is my main page
Thought maybe I should switch to Paypal express so I ran curltest.php but all it shows is my main page

I checked "Excluded files" in the config and it says that /ipn_main_handler.php is in the list by default

Website located at:

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
John

I did make the following change in the .htaccess Could that have caused the orders to not log?

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$

to:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(html|htm|php)$ [NC]

OK
I found that the rewrite was the problem.
I had changed as follows:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$
to:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(html|htm|php)$ [NC]

I changed it back to basic:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$

and it works fine.

Not sure if:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(html|htm)$ [NC]

would work. I didn't take the time to find out. Maybe someone else has an answer to that.
Hope this helps someone

Yes, that would have made the main index.php file responsible for all PHP and HTML files.. which isn't something you'd want!

Glad you've found the mistake and got things sorted now!

All the best...

I am using 1.39a, and was trying out on Ceon URI Mapping.

I have tried to create a test category with a test product, using the auto generated selection. When I tried to load that page, it doesn't load the product page, but only showing the homepage.

In addition, I had all error pages redirected to pagenotfound.php before installing Ceon, after including the rewrite rule into the .htaccess, the error pages redirection doesn't work anymore.

Has anyone encounter the new url not loading on the product page? I have more than a thousand products, so I don't want to change anything yet until I am able to get the test product to work, and able to log in as orders.

[saplanet]

Ok, I figured out that my error documents are not redirecting to pagenotfound.php because that it was directed to index.php instead. So that part is good now.

I am just waiting to see if anyone also experience the new url not landing on the product page.

Thanks

Has anyone already written the code to integrate with the SitemapXML mod? Google Webmaster Tools indexed some of my URLs in the sitemap, but it has now giving an error that it has stopped following my URLs because of the 301 redirects. So I need to create the sitemap with the static URLs.

I would imagine it's just a matter of doing some select queries on the sitemapxml tables. I'm just rusty and thought I'd check here before I get into it.

Hi,

Many stores are already using this just fine with Ceon URI Mapping. It is fully compatible with any store that only has one language.

If you are getting redirects you need to change "Generate language_id for default language" to false.

You should probably also change "Use Existing Files" to false (to save deleting the files to have them regenerated).

In v4.0.0 these instructions will either be part of the installation procedure, or else I might update Sitemap XML to be compatible with the greatly enhanced language support Ceon URI Mapping adds to a store.

All the best...
