Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[DivaVocals]

not quite yet.. the product url's work good but the category ones - not so good.. no at all.. i uploaded all the products at http://medievalclothing.co and if you click on the category 'medieval clothing', i get another 404 not found page.. but if you go to a specific product such as http://medievalclothing.co/monksrobe.html - the link works.. is there something special about categories??

Please review the readme.. URI's for categories, products, and EZ pages all work the same way.. If the readme is not clear, then it helps if you can let us know what part needs further clarification..

darn, i think i read it clearly.. i've attached a screenshot showing i entered the value of medieval-clothing.html in the right field.. the only part of the docs i didn't understand is 'Please Remember: URI mappings entered manually must be relative to the root of the site (“/”), and must be the full path to the category. E.g. “/category-one/subcategory-of-category-one”'

i used the / but don't understand the 'full path' part.. this category is at the root level.

Your .htaccess file is not sending URIs including alphanumbericals, a dash "-", and end with ".html" to index.php. You need to update your .htaccess file.

I tested adding the same category URI (/medieval-clothing.html), and had no issue.. (I of course did not tick the auto generate checkbox) I used the same suggested rule that Conor's documents suggest for URI's ending in ".html"..

# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,5}$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(html)$ [NC]

Yup, that should work using the "stock" CEON .htaccess file. I am not sure what is different in tyankee's file, but if you follow the link provided you will see a generic Apache 404 error message.

If you try typing in some other invalid links without a dash "-" you will see the Zen Cart 404 error message.

This indicates a high possibility tyankee's .htaccess file is not actually sending the request to Zen Cart when a dash "-" is in the URI.

Why would it work for my test setup then?? I have the same directive in my test site's .htaccess file that Conor suggests, and both categories and products work just fine with dashes and the ".html" file extension..

as you can see in previous posts by htaccess file is the same as his recommendation and DOES work for product URI redirects - just not the category ones..

oh and of course i didn't tick the auto-generate box either..

Then my other recommendation at this point is probably in order.. You might need to hire someone to help you get this all setup for you..
