Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[conor]

Hi,

I am currently using Simple seo URL rewrite mod and having PCI compliant issues when using it. Does anyone have any issues with passing PCI compliance with this MOD?

We've had no reports of anyone failing PCI scans when their sites have Ceon URI Mapping installed and we're aware of hundreds having passed scans.

Also is there anyone that has switched to this mod from SEO URL and managed to map products and data easily to prevent loss of Search engine traffic?

The software has been fully tested and used to port the URIs from sites previously using Ultimate SEO, Simple SEO and Magic SEO, with the product and category URIs all redirecting just fine, as they are created as historical URIs, which then route to the "current" URIs used by Ceon URI Mapping.

In Ceon URI Mapping any current URI can have an unlimited number of previous historical" URIs pointing to it, it's one of the software's greatest strengths (if I do say so myself ;) ).

All the best..

Hi,



No, I won't provide support for free via a backwards and forwards approach, sorry. I offered to help in this way because it would save me time. Life is short!

Good luck in getting this sorted.

All the best..

You seem to have taken offence to my response. I am not sure why this should be the case, I don't control this site, I'm just doing some config on it.

I appreciate your assistance I have now received the login details if you would still like to help - let me know how/where I can send them to you.

No, I didn't at all, sorry, didn't mean to give that impression.

Reading it back myself I can see why you would get that impression.. sorry, it wasn't meant that way.


I was just intending to make it clear that the reason I frequently offer to log into people's servers here - for these sorts of issues - is that actually discussing the problem via forum posts (or even e-mail) normally takes a lot longer than me simply going in, seeing the problem(s) in either/both of the configure files and/or the .htaccess files, fixing whatever needs fixed... and then both of us can move on to doing better things with our day.

Obviously I'd rather not have to do that at all - hence the week's work that went into writing the installation check part of the module - but overall it saves everyone time when I do so.

Ok thanks - no offence meant either way

I just sent you a message, let me know how you get on.

Thanks again.

hey conor - we remapped our beta website from www.bigd.net/apogee to www.apogeerockets.com/apogee-beta in order to be able to use SSL.

it was an easy conversion, just changed the config files, used an sql statement to update the URI mappings to read "/apogee-beta/" instead of "/apogee/" and then update our httpd.conf (used instead of .htaccess) file to reflect the same change. except now all of our mappings redirect back to the homepage instead of where they're supposed to go. i am still on 4.0.6 and you said that 4.0.7 fixes the 'going-to-home-page' instead of a 404. but i don't want 404s at all, no matter if they're going to home or a 404 page.

any idea as to why the (seemingly easy) domain change didn't work? i'm maybe guessing that it has to do with our httpd.conf update not being right....

Hi,

i am still on 4.0.6

Upgrade lazy. :)

It takes two minutes :)

You sound like you've done everything right.. you must have made a typo somewhere or missed out changing the value in one place.

Check the configure and http.conf files again.. don't forget the slash at the front of /apogee-beta/index.php (or /index.php).. that's needed within virtualhost directives.

Hope that helps!

Have a good evening!

All the best..

Heh, yup. I swear I changed it to add that slash, too. Maybe I changed the wrong file... i've got a couple versions of the .conf floating around. anyway, thanks much.

Conor, thanks for logging in and sorting out the issue.

I changed one of the //'s to / in one of the configure.php files but not the other. As it didn't work I changed it back to //

It works great now, thanks so much!

Hi Conor

I'm just upgrading to 1.5. Have been using the simple SEO url mod for some years and it now seems defunct. Before I leap in and install your mod and remove all the old SSU files I was wondering if it will still be possible for it to create 301 redirects from the old url's given SSU is unlikely to work on 1.5?

Interesting what you find when looking through the support thread (see quoted post below).. The well written readme for this add-on answers a LOT of your questions as well.. I t doesn't hurt anything to download it and have a read..

The well written readme that comes with this add-on is VERY clear that in order to create URIs for an existing store you will have to edit each category or product manually.

Can you import the URI's into the database using phpMyAdmin?? Yes you can, but to facilitate this you will need to create a data file with all 8000 products and add the URI's to this data file, then import this data file via phpMyAdmin.

or

as several of us have spoken of FREQUENTLY you can purchase the Ceon URI Mapping Manager from Ceon's website. This was just recently mentioned a few days ago on this support thread (http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=449) which is why I always say it's a good idea to read through the support thread.. there's ALWAYS good information posted, and most questions are already answered..

The Mappings Manager will do many things including auto generating URIs for existing stores.
