Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[tyankee]

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..

again i have to ask - where do i go to find someone good..

[DivaVocals]

is this a joke?? how in the world would anyone think this would affect the URI redirection of the CEON module?? yikes.. as for the folder name, that may be a good suggestion but it has NOTHING to do with this problem.

Not a joke, and to lhungil's credit he's trying to be subtle so as not to broadcast you admin folder name on the open forum.

So let me be more direct. The .htaccess file for this module has a directive that prevents the admin folder (or anything named similar to the admin folder) from being re-directed..

so using the example you provided, ("medieval-clothing.html)", and knowing the issue you are having it's pretty EASY to figure out what your admin URL is.. Is it clear now what the issue is?

if I could GUESS what your admin folder was ANYONE could.. So please follow the suggestions both lhungil and I provided on how to better name your admin folder.

again i have to ask - where do i go to find someone good..

You could post a seperate message on the forum that you are looking for professional help and see what responses you get.. you could check out the many free lance websites out there..

Not a joke. RewriteCond statements preceding a RewriteRule determine if the RewriteRule will run.

Go back and look at the list of RewriteCond statements in your .htaccess file. In the .htaccess file you posted you will see the following:

# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/backend [NC]

This line says "Do not rewrite any requests made to any URI which starts with /backend".

There are also some other RewriteCond statements in the .htaccess which may potentially impact other URLs you are using if they match and are thus excluded. You may wish to look through your URIs and make sure nothing else conflicts.

not sure exactly what you are saying here but you don't really think i would put the name of my admin section publicly in this forum, do you?? it is not 'backend' - that would be stupid.. i changed it for display purposes here.. and just because someone questions you, doesn't mean they are 'arguing' - where in the world did we become so sensitive as a nation/world.. we are searching for answers here - it's just that simple.

i'm curious - what do you think the admin section name is?? i'm going to change it and it's only a test site so don't worry about posting here - or PM me is you're worried.

I've already been to your admin page.. so has lhungil.. I'm not going to post it.. but I'll be happy to post a screenprint if you are just INSISTING on proof.. We guessed it based on the issue you are having and the URI that you are having an issue with.. that's why we are telling you that if you change it that the issue you are having will go away.. You don't have to believe us, but instead of arguing why not try making the change we suggest..

again NOT arguing - why do you people insist this.. i'm just asking questions and digging for answers.. why so sensitive?? and why the need to 'talk down' or 'talk superior' when you are obviously dealing with a newbie here.. not very friendly i'd say (if i were the sensitive type).. and yes i just changed it.. and yes it now works.. but i have to ask - why was that so hard to tell me many posts ago - why just say change your admin name because it's conflicting with your htaccess - instead of 're-read the readme' when it's obvious i've read that many times now and didn't understand it.. and if your answer is you were worried about my sites security, you could have very easily PM'ed me.. that kind of stuff is NOT free advice - it's just fishing for clients..

The only sensitive person here has been you. countrycharm, lhungil and myself continued helping you despite the fact that you have not been terribly nice at all in many of your responses. There was no superior talk or talking down.. That's YOUR interpretation perhaps, but it's FAR from the truth.

and yes i just changed it.. and yes it now works..

You're welcome.. glad you got it all worked out..

but i have to ask - why was that so hard to tell me many posts ago - why just say change your admin name because it's conflicting with your htaccess - instead of 're-read the readme' when it's obvious i've read that many times now and didn't understand it.. and if your answer is you were worried about my sites security, you could have very easily PM'ed me..

Hard?? How about:

• Because we didn't have THE ANSWER at the tip of our fingertips.. (we can't see your store so we have to rely on the information you provide to help you)
• It was clear that you hadn't made the crucial change that's laid out in the readme to get your products working (which is why I repeatedly pointed you back to it and even told you WHERE you would find the answer)
• At one point you made the statement that the instructions in the readme weren't going to help you accomplish what you stated originally what you wanted to do, but never said why you thought this was the case (ultimately you made the change suggested which accomplished what you stated you were trying to do)
• You didn't mention upfront that you were trying to use the Mapping Manager program to generate your URIs.. (this is IMPORTANT information)
• We didn't know what your .htaccess file looked like (until countrycharm asked you to post it and only after you FINALLY made the changes that I repeatedly suggested).
• After posting your category issue and the results of your .htaccess, lhungil took a GUESS and figured out that your issue was because your category URI included part of your admin folder name. I confirmed his findings and we BOTH posted an answer and a recommendation for renaming your admin folder for you. (to which you posted a few argumentative responses before making the suggested changes)

What was so hard??? Seriously?????

that kind of stuff is NOT free advice - it's just fishing for clients..

For the record I don't come to this forum "fishing for clients", and invite you to show where in my 5 year history participating on this forum, contributing modules and support, and occasionally asking for help from others where this has EVER been my M.O.

Oh that's right..

You don't have time to read the forum. Meanwhile I'm living my mother's basement, and spending all day on this forum (apparently fishing for clients) while you are too busy making money..

Glad you got it all worked out.. So let me hop in my Supercharged Mustang and head back to my mother's basement..

Happy Zenning..

dealing with you is like going to the dentist and asking him why your teeth hurt and he responds 'look it up online'.. i'd gladly give you a testimonial stating i'd never hire you.. i got to the answers i needed by persistence in the face of mocking and deriding. sure hope others on other threads are not this bad but i'm sure they are not as i've been doing this since 1979 and learned that there are always a small percentage of know it alls, who couldn't teach a first grader how to tie their shoes.. and this does not pertain to ANYONE else who tried to help me - some advice was good, some not but at least not condescending..

Ouch.. that really hurts my feelings.. Guess I'll have to fish elsewhere..

i got to the answers i needed by persistence in the face of mocking and deriding.

Because of course you were so well mannered through the process..

sure hope others on other threads are not this bad but i'm sure they are not as i've been doing this since 1979 and learned that there are always a small percentage of know it alls, who couldn't teach a first grader how to tie their shoes.. and this does not pertain to ANYONE else who tried to help me - some advice was good, some not but at least not condescending..

Uh huh.. okay..
