Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[rhys]

Hello

I am a complete newbie and trying to install this add-on.

I am following the installation instructions and have installed all the files (step 1 and 2).

I am now stuck on step 3 - Do I need to add the script(s) located in the _docs folder and where should I add them to?

Currently at the moment there is no "URI Mapping" option under Modules in the admin section.

Thanks
Rhys

Hi Rhys,

I am following the installation instructions and have installed all the files (step 1 and 2).

It doesn't sound like you have.. you'd see the URI Mapping Config utility in the admin if you had.

Please re-read the instructions, you don't copy the "files" folder, you copy the files from within it.

Same with the modified core files folder (but choose the files from within the subfolder that applies for your version of Zen Cart, most likely 1.3.8a).

The _docs folder is where the documentation goes, it is for you to read, you don't "install" it.

I'm afraid that if you don't understand those instructions then you are better off paying someone to install the module for you.

All the best...

HI Conor,

Quick question...I have a site where this is installed and it works beautifully...but there are like 3 products that have "stuff" on the end, but yet all the others are fine...

Here is a bad one:
http://www.vintagebodyspa.com/liquid...ap?cPath=48_50

But yet, it is a linked product and shows fine under another category as seen here...
http://www.vintagebodyspa.com/liquid-african-black-soap

There are only 3 products that have the extra stuff on the end...any ideas what could cause this?!?!?

Thanks so much!!!

Hi,

But yet, it is a linked product and shows fine under another category as seen here...

Linked products will always have a cPath added at the end when they are being shown in a category to which they are linked. When they are shown in their "master" category, they are not "linked" so no cPath is necessary.

There is no way around this behaviour, it is necessary to add the cPath for a product which is being displayed in a category by being linked to it, rather than actually "in" it, as otherwise the context on the site is lost.

All the best...

Thanks Conor! Just wanted to give my client a valid reason!

Conor,
I just wanted to take a moment to say, you are a god among men!

Thank you for taking the time to make this!

I might be overwhelmed with joy to actually see this work as it is so far on my test site. I've tried Magic SEO for a friend's site that I developed, I've seen Ultimate SEO and others in action, but hands-down this appears to be exactly what I was looking for in terms of functionality.

So, thank you once again!

Sorry to clutter the thread, but can I just echo these sentiments. This module is absolutely fantastic and beats any other ZC SEO-Module by a country mile. CEON ZC modules I have found to be among the best ZC mods out there.

Keep up the great work Conor

Hi Conor,

Thanks for this excellent mod, I installed it yesterday and apart from the problem below it all seems to be working fine. The problem is that the google sitemaps mod doesn't work when your mod is turned on - I get a page not found error when trying to access the page (ww.domain.com/googlesitemap.php). Zen cart is installed in the root of the site. I've read the other posts on this issue but can't seem to get it to work, here's my htaccess, please could you have a quick look and let me know what I'm missing:

Hi, a quick bit of advice if I may?

I am building a new store, no products in it yet.
The store is in a folder of a site that is powered by wordpress.

2 questions:

Would the site .htacess cause a problem viewing urls eg. end up conflicting with WP .htaccess and not sending me to the correct store pages and instead go to an error 404 on wp do you know?

Also- at what point would you reccomend intalling the mod, now when store has no products or after products are added? (Ill be adding them via a csv some 2k of products).

I see the mod has an auto mode- so wanted to know at what stage it was best to add this.

Thanks :)

Hi All,

Ive searched through this thread for the answer to my question but couldnt find it.

i currently have Magic SEO installed which ill be polite about and say that i dont like it.

Im thinking of changing over this the mod but im worried as all the searche engines currently have my URL's indexed. Will this mod re-direct or throw a 404 error if a customer come through on 1 of the old links which was created with magic SEO?

Many thanks for your help

Paul
