Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[conor]

Hi,

My appology because it was a very simple and somehow stupid mistake of my side! My error was that for htaccess page I did not had included the . in front of the htaccess! That's why it wasn't reconizing it!

That of course makes sense. Glad you've got it sorted now.

1. all pages that go inside of the information box that in my case includes: about us, shipping, returns, privacy, conditions, contact, sitemap, unsubscribe, discounts and coupons, newsletter, gift certificates. All of these, I have them inside of the information box and not part of the EZ-Pages.
This is an example of how about_us shows: index.php?main_page=about_us. Please tell me if that's the right way to show instead of: domain.com/about_us?

Yes, these URIs are not mapped automatically. You can map them yourself by entering mappings directly into the database.

Please read the section in the documentation "Specifying the current URI Mapping for any other Zen Cart page" and follow the first part of that.

E.g. your uri is /about_us and the main_page is about_us and the rest of the values are as outlined in the instructions.

2. Other pages that show like about us example include: New products: index.php?main_page=products_new (not sure if that's the way that's the way it should look here) and featured products: index.php?main_page=featured_products

These URIs can be mapped using the same procedure as above.

3. I installed the addon Wordpress on Zencart (WOZ). Now, this addon on the admin configuration side stays the following:

Sorry, the custom modifications distributed with that addon are not supported by Ceon.

Eventually I intend to look at that contribution with a view to fixing it but unfortunately I don't have the time at the minute. I'd suggest not using it but using another Wordpress module instead. DivaVocals on the forum has another one I think, which works.

4. I have written the 404 rule in the htaccess as: ErrorDocument 404 index.php?main_page=page_not_found . It works, just want to ensure that's the proper way to write it.

I'm not a rewrite expert but that looks alright to me.

Will the below rule be enough and still compatible with the CEON URI MAPPING addon?

Sorry, I don't know if it will be enough. It certainly won't conflict with the URI Mapping rule though.

You'll have to ask someone who knows more about rewrite rules about this. Unfortunately that's not appropriate for this thread, so please search the forum or start another one.

How do we apply this rewrite rule once we have applied the CEON URI MAPPING (SEO) addon?

Sorry, again, this thread is not the place to ask for advice on custom rewrite rules, please search the forum/start a new thread.

The software does allow you to enter "historical URIs" to be mapped to "current URIs", by manually adding records to the database with current_uri set to 0 instead of 1.. it should be easy enough to work out what other parameters you need to set to have the "old" URI map to the correct Zen Cart page.

Hope all the above helps!

All the best...
