Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[mxmerch]

hey conor.

the new 1.3.9d version seems to have throw a wrench in our master plans! it has "replaced" the modded includes/functions/html_output.php as well as the collect_info.php files in admin/includes/modules/***/.

i've rewritten over them from the most recent ceon package and made it work again...but was wondering if you'd had time to write the files for 1.3.9d.

thanks!

the ceon uri mapping mod is an awesome contrib, btw.

I just wanted to spread the word that Conor/CEON now has a donate link up at his website

http://dev.ceon.net/web/zen-cart/uri_mapping

Our experience is that we probably owe more of our online business to URI than any other single ZC module as we are in the top 3-5 on most of our critical search terms and we were number 1 in one of our most primary searches. My appreciation to you Conor!

If you've modified IH2, then YOU have created the issue you are reporting.. Ceon URI works PERFECTLY with IH2 out the box.. If your install is not working, then it likely means that your edits to IH2 are the cause of your issues. (which BTW, you still have not CLEARLY explained since your site OBVIOUSLY appears to be using Ultimate SEO -- Stating repeatedly that "Ceon URI cannot run" does not clearly state what exactly is happening)

There is nothing Conor can (or should do) to make your custom edits to IH2 work with his module. You may have to opt for paying a developer to help you get your IH2 edits to work with the Ceon URI module.

MY IH2 is modified. Not original IH2.

There is a major bug with this module, I hope it already got solved but anyhow just in case(because some of our clients using our ajax modules got this errror, I thought I should post the solution here)

file:

init_ceon_uri_mapping.php line 28

The error: this module kicks in when then file requested is not even the index.php file, as the result it returns false 404 error status while the file does actually exist. This is a major bug and causes our ajax module not functioning correctly.

The fix: Change that line to

if (defined('CEON_URI_MAPPING_ENABLED') && CEON_URI_MAPPING_ENABLED == 1 && (end(explode('/', $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"])) == 'index.php')) {

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,

There is a major bug with this module

No there isn't, you just haven't read the documentation.

The error: this module kicks in when then file requested is not even the index.php file, as the result it returns false 404 error status while the file does actually exist. This is a major bug and causes our ajax module not functioning correctly.

All you need to do is to add the file (or more accurately, the full URI path to the file) the ajax module uses to the "list of excluded files" as explained in the documentation.

No-one needs to make the change yellow mentioned. It won't do any harm to make the change but it isn't necessary, simply use the excluded files functionality instead!

All the best..

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..

Hi,

All you need to do is to add the file (or more accurately, the full URI path to the file) the ajax module uses to the "list of excluded files" as explained in the documentation.

Saying that though, I did think about putting code similar to yours into the module previously but decided that, as the excluded files functionality tackles this issue perfectly well, it would use up extra CPU time unnecessarily.

The difference in CPU time isn't much though but I know lots of people are too lazy to read the documentation or FAQs, both of which mention how to fix the "problem" of modules not working with Ceon URI Mapping. So maybe just to make things easier for people I should include this code by default.

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?

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
