Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[Burnin Carbon]

I just installed this Add-on to ZC v1.3.9b and I can not seem to get it to function at all. I have followed the configuration three times just to make sure I had everything set properly.
My problem is with any category or product when this is enabled I get the 404 error.
I have made the change to init_ceon_uri_mapping.php line 28.
This hasn't helped either.

Thanks for you help in advance. I been using the forum like a bible and I must say everyone here rocks.

Hi,

My problem is with any category or product when this is enabled I get the 404 error.

It sounds like you haven't created a working .htaccess file.

I have made the change to init_ceon_uri_mapping.php line 28.
This hasn't helped either.

That isn't an issue unless you use an AJAX module or something similar and forgot to add the file to the list of excluded files.

Please send me FTP and admin details for your site via this link and I'll take a quick look to see if I can fix this for you.

All the best..

All,
Yes I have changed the htaccess. Now this morning for some strange reason when i tried it for one product it started working. I am not sure as to why it took so long. I will continue with a few more products and then try a complete category.

Conor, yes I do have some Ajax running on the site as well.
I will keep updating.
Thanks again

Hi Conor!

What do people here think?

Should I make the change for the just-about-to-be-released version 3.6.3 or leave things as they are to save a bit of processing time and let people using Raine's AJAX module make use of the excluded files functionality?

That depends on how big the "bit of processing time" is. I wonder if there is a way to quantify? If this change adds 0.1 second, then it is probably not a good idea to add. But if it only adds like 0.001... that is fairly negligible, probably best to include the new code by default.

There is a lot to be said for simplicity and compatibility. Steve Jobs owes much of the last 10 years to those attributes.

That is my 2¢.

My position has been rethunk!

I agree with Diva. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If there is a work around that already exists and it is easy to use, then just leave it alone.

Faster is better.

lol I don't think Steve Jobs is a shining example of simplicity! I'm still not sure what the primary buttons in the MacOS Finder are for - a case of unintuitive design if ever there was one! And the less said about iTunes the better! :)

I agree with Diva. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If there is a work around that already exists and it is easy to use, then just leave it alone. .

Thanks for the feedback Feznizzle and DivaVocals! I've decided to leave things as they are. Zen Cart can be used within other software and so it may not necessarily be running with a script name of index.php.

It would be nice to have things work easier for users of the AJAX module mentioned by yellow1912 but they are provided for with the excluded files functionality and not checking against the script name allows for greater flexibility. The quicker code, while the difference is almost negligble, is an additional benefit.

Version 3.6.3 will be out shortly.

All the best...

But i'm already hosting my site to a dedicated server to test the performance of the website but it is still very low.

Hi,

But i'm already hosting my site to a dedicated server to test the performance of the website but it is still very low.

You must have configured the server wrongly then. We have a dedicated server and it builds our Zen Cart store's pages in milliseconds.

Sorry but I can't help you. I wish you luck in sorting this out though. Maybe take a look at your SQL server/connection first? Then check your PHP build/memory limits etc.

One other thing.. if you have large category menus (or some sort of JavaScript menu) then replacing them with a hard-coded menu with hard-coded links so they don't need to be looked up each time a page is built will of course reduce the number of queries used for a page.

All the best...
