Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[yellow1912]

Yup, thanks to this zencart users no longer have to buy commercial seo module any more.

For current SSU users: new version of SSU will come with a nice link alias table using jquery grid as well as the fully automatic url mapping as well, so no need to worry ^_^

Hi,

A few small server interaction issues were found now that the module is out in the wild.

From the revision history:

[BUGFIX] Module wasn't being run on the store side on servers which have an unexpected SCRIPT_NAME value. Updated to only use value of REQUEST_URI, SCRIPT_NAME is no longer used.
[BUGFIX] String class wasn't fully compatible with PHP 4.x.

All users are advised to update.

The archive for 2.0.1 was submitted to the downloads area last week but still isn't there so please just go to our site to download:

Can this mod be used for just the ez pages and still use Ultimate SEO URLs?

Hi, installed this mod succesfuly. Although the very good instructions may look complicated, I managed to install this in minutes, even a noob like me The products I added or modified had the "new" url. Great!

Two questions;
1 Looking at "Who's online", all the customers are looking at the images folder in my template. When I follow the link I end up on the home page. Before installing this mod I could follow the link and see what they were actually looking at. Now only pop-up images have the standard url. Is this "normal" or do I have to change settings?
The site works 100% ok because I still get orders...

2 Do I understand correctly that I have to save every product again to change the url? Not that it's a big problem, it will only take some time.

Although I only installed it to get better results for search-engines, it also looks much better in the url adress. There's a understandable adress instead of some long code.

Again, great module! Thank you very much.

Some extra information regarding my previous post:

All "guest" visitors hav the link:
/includes/templates/pannenland/images/ or /favicon.ico

Spiders do have the standard url like /index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=338

Couldn't find anything in FAQ or configuration instructions.

Hello folks, I am starting to get ever so slightly frustrated that I can't get a response regarding my previous query on 28th February 2009. I have set up the CEON URI name mapping and the PHP IDs are converted as I want them but when you click on any of the converted links, the page cannot be found. I have tried tweaking my .htaccess file till I am blue in the face but it only ever gets worse and not better. My web host www.namehog.net cannot help and I need to get this sorted urgently otherwise I think I will have to buy a package like Clickcartpro where I am guaranteed support. This would be a shame as Zencart seems to do what I want...apart from the URI mapping!. Can anyone help? Please!!!

I really don't understand what you are asking here? The who's online function in Tools simply links to the page the person was visiting, why is yours recording image paths?

2 Do I understand correctly that I have to save every product again to change the url? Not that it's a big problem, it will only take some time.

Yes, it wasn't built with automatic support for generating URIs for all products in a category as the initial focus of the module was allowing specific URIs to be manually typed in.

Although I only installed it to get better results for search-engines, it also looks much better in the url adress. There's a understandable adress instead of some long code.

Yes, absolutely. That was the initial point behind the module - to allow the use of human readable URIs on advertising literature. :)

Again, great module! Thank you very much.

You're very welcome, I'm glad you like it!

All the best...

I'm currently using Simple SEO URL SSU, but got some problem. May I know if there is any crash if I install CEON URL too? Of course, I will set SSU to be disabled in the admin panel.
