Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[conor]

Hi,

Actually the whole attributes issue looks like it was a bit of a red herring. I know why I saw that as the issue but it turns out it is coincidental. I was adding attributes when I noticed it and letting ceon uri mapping generate uris as I was doing it. So, all the items with new attributes also had URI mapping.

I'm not sure what you mean here.. the module has no support whatsoever for URI Mappings for attributes, only for products. How is your site generating URI Mappings when you are adding attributes?

Or do you mean that when you were adding attributes you were also updating the products (possibly with a new description) and therefore generating a URI Mapping? (I think that's what you mean). Regardless, I'm pretty sure I have the solution below..

If I let the mod re-write any product then that means that that product is not added.

I think you mean "Added to the cart"?

Must be some configuration issue on my site because I just don't see how this is the case with all the sites using this mod.

It's not quite a configuration issue.. I've noticed that your site will redirect to the URI Mapping entered in the admin when you go to the product page but *no* links use the URI Mapping. This means you've forgotten to upload the new version of

includes/functions/html_output.php

from the modified_core_files folder (for your version of ZC).

That means that the form action URIs are being set to the old dynamic Zen Cart URIs, so the forms are being posted to an old URI and then having to be redirected to the new URI. Since redirections don't re-post values the items aren't being added to the cart.

Hope that gets you up and running.

All the best...
