Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[conor]

Hi,

For Canonical purposes, how would I echo the product URL without any zenid or sort parameters?

Zen Cart adds those parameters. I'm afraid you'd have to modify the way Zen Cart works!

Sorry I don't have better news for you than that.

All the best...

Thanks for your reply.

Isn't the product URL that Ceon URI Mapping generates located in the database? Couldn't we just pull the URL from there?

Sorry, I don't know what exactly you are asking. If you are asking can you read a list of URIs from the database then of course you can.. I'm afraid it's not something I can support here though.. please use software like PHPMyAdmin to do what you require!

The URIs in the database won't have session IDs or sorting parameters.

All the best...

Hi everyone,

At first i'd like to say i love this addon so bad!
And i'm definitely willing to donate.

I've got a few issue though.
I've set up some favicons, but for some reason with Ceon's URI Mapping mod the favicons disappear from category, subcategory and products pages.
How can this be fixed?

Also I can't seem to change the specials, new products, all products pages URL's (index.php?main_page=specials for example)
I'm still a noob with this addon so please bare with me

By the way, I have a database containing over 600 products so i was wondering when the URI manager is available.

Yours,

Hi Peter,

Glad you like the software!

I've set up some favicons, but for some reason with Ceon's URI Mapping mod the favicons disappear from category, subcategory and products pages.
How can this be fixed?

This isn't a problem with the module but with your template.

Once you start using static URIs your favicons must be made relative to the site's root rather than the "local folder".

When in /mycategory it is likely that /mycategory/favicon.ico doesn't exist.

So you should update your link to your favicon.ico file to be /favicon.ico or set a base href on your site which sets relative file paths like this to be relative to the root of your store.

Hope that helps!

All the best..

G'day Conor, Thanks for this great mod,it looks like just what I was after and I seem to have installed it without a hitch.
Just one question....how would I go about changing it so that my items Model Name is mapped and displayed, instead of the Product Name ?Is it a Zen-Cart Admin setting? Cheers.

I'm glad you like the software and that it installed easily for you.. unfortunately the bad news is that the module currently only autogenerates URIs for products based on their names. If you want to use model numbers you'll have to manually enter the URIs I'm afraid which isn't so bad but obviously not quite as quick/easy!).

Thanks, I may even add both together for greater effect! You see, my products are plants and they have a "Common" name (Product Name) and a "Botanical Name"(Model Name). To have both together would be ideal as far as Search Engines go, wouldn't it? All the best.

Yes, I do agree actually.. I think that would make it much easier to find those "products". I'd say quite a few people would search for the common name or the botanical name but not necessarily both, so having both in the URI could only help them find your store that bit easier!

All the best...

Hi,



Unfortunately that simply means you have done something wrong. I'd suggest going through the whole process again and checking your working.

All the best...

Sorry about the delay in responding. I have followed the process on again however I am getting the same problem.
However when I ran it on http://www.jbconline.eu the issue did not occur. (they are both hosted by the same hosting company)

Any ideas.
