Ceon URI Mapping v4

[conor]

Hi,

I was a database programmer years ago so know a bit about databases. :)

lol it's wasn't the SQL I was referring to per say, but the fact that I was outputting the SQL without an end quote in the PHP code.. it was the PHP that was messed up. Anyway... :)

Actually, I have not added any manual database entries into the 3.8.0 table. I have looked at it and see this... I have created 6 x categories in Zen that act as spacers.... the way I did it was to create a category with a blank name...

One thing I will say about that is, I dont know how those 6 blank categories got into your mappings table because I KNOW, that I have never edited those 6 categories to manually get them into the URI database like I did with the 400 or so other categories... So a little confused with that..!!

Ceon URI Mapping will have automatically generated a URI whenever you edited these categories in the admin. So although you didn't manually modiofy the Ceon URI Mapping database, these "rogue" mappings still got in. The software simply wasn't built to cope with nameless categories, which is how we found ourselves in the situation that we did. :)

Not a big deal, just delete those mappings manually from your database and stop using "fake categories" for layout! :)

If you want to add a space you should actually just reprogram the categories sidebox so that it modifies the output HTML.

Having a category with no name will break auto-generation of all categories below that level.

So...

Move all your categories back to the parent level, delete the six fake ones and adjust the categories sidebox to preceed the categories' names with   after the first five.

I agree that it is a good idea to put a line in the instructions for those that forget they have admin tools..

I'll add this reminder into a future version.

All the best...

Hi,

uninstalled 3.8 and installed version 4 on 1.39h and all worked first time

Yes, apart from the two minor slipups mentioned above, I'd done extensive testing.. so I suppose its good they were found so quickly as I don't expect anyone else to have any trouble, just like you didn't!

Hope you like the new version! :)

All the best..

How did you uninstalled 3.8? from admin?
I'm going to install v4.0 on 1.39h.

"Uninstall" isn't quite what he meant.. "remove the old 3.8 files" is what he was talking about. You don't remove the old module altogether, you don't actually "uninstall" 3.8.0.

Just follow the "Upgrading" instructions in the 4.0.0 documentation and you'll be fine.

All the best..

Thank you for explanation Conor.

One shot. Work like a charm. Thank you for the great mod!

The following I need to find out why:
All products that added CEON url mapping the CAPTCHA not showing on both tell a friend and product review. But shows for the products not defined with CEON.

Glad you like it.

All products that added CEON url mapping the CAPTCHA not showing on both tell a friend and product review. But shows for the products not defined with CEON.

The Captcha module needs to have its code updated.

You can read more in the last part of this FAQ ("Check the module's code..."):

When Ceon URI Mapping is enabled a module on the site doesn't work properly!

There's more info about a particular CAPTCHA program, it could be your one, I don't know, here:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=2882

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=2883

If you're having trouble with this then I'm afraid I can't help you further here.. all the information a programmer would need is covered by the above links and the free support here doesn't cover helping with third party module programming issues.

All the best..

Gertzy - re: post 11, and post 21 - To alter the layout of the categories sidebox, I suggest you use Categories Dressing which supports many kinds of formatting and styling without fake category kludges.

Okie dokies, I will have a look at that see if it cuts out what I am doing - cheers.
