Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[conor]

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the quick response.
Your suggestion did the work. Seems to be fine now.

Thought it would. I'm glad you're up and running now. I'd find out who did this if I was you though or it's likely to happen again or to have broken something else.

All the best...

Hi Conor,
Thanks for the great mod! I have an issue when viewing products by manufacturer (brands).

The sort and alpha filters, and the page 2, 3, 4 etc links are not working.

I've tried solving this myself, but to no avail. Can you please take a look and let me know if there is any way I can solve this?

TIA!

Hi,

The pagination worked fine on your site for me. As did filtering by manufacturer.

The alpha filter did not work though.

The alpha filter works fine with rewritten URIs on all of my test sites so I'm afraid I don't think this is a problem with the URI Mapping software. You should debug the filters and see what they are doing.. the URIs being generated on your site are perfect - all the get parameters are being correctly appended to the URI - and should work fine.

Sorry I can't be more help than that!

All the best...

I can use ceon addon module perfectly on my localhost with .htaccess copied from configure doc.

However, I ran into trouble when I use the same .htaccess file to my addon domain on lunarpages server. www.myfirstsite.com use another ultimate module for clean url, www.mysecondsite.com point to mysecondsite.myfirstsite.com, and I install seon module on it, both sites Zen Cart are installed in root directory, I can see seon module worked, because I have clean url, however, a page error, can't befound always show up.

I see previous post, one guy modify the .htaccess in parent website to suit the sub domain, I don't think this make sense because I think .htaccess files are organized in diffent directory to manage to rewrite rules for that directory. Can you help? Thanks in advance.

I find out that the ultimate seo module of my primary domain uses a .htaccess file which conflict with ceon module .htaccess which my addon domain uses.

When I deleted my primary domain .htaccess file, and directly copy ceon sample .htaccess file to addon sub domain root directory, ceon works perfectly, so the question is now how to make .htaccess file on primary domain that ultimate seo module uses don't affect addon domain behavior.

I'll post my solution if I can find.:-)

solved! the ultimate seo module htaccess somehow use following lines:
#Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourwebsite\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourwebsite.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]


My htaccess file seems miss the '#' symbole before 'Options', so after I comment this line out, everything works fine. One thing still make me curious, it works perfectly with firefox and opera, but with IE, your key word will always be following be '?zenid=xxxxxxxx', don't know how to remove it!:-)

Hi,

Glad you like the module and you've sorted your htaccess file out.

[quote=goldknight;739690but with IE, your key word will always be following be '?zenid=xxxxxxxx', don't know how to remove it!:-)[/quote]

This may be something to do with cookies. It is important that the zenid is added if the browser doesn't provide it as otherwise the session functionality of Zen Cart won't work.

For the record, IE7 here doesn't add it when I visit ZC sites, so you should check out your browser's configuration (what to do exactly I'm not sure I'm afraid, I'm not an IE expert).

All the best...

Okay, I installed your mod on a clean fresh installation of 1.3.8a and I'm still having the same issue with pagination when viewing by manufacturers.

I've tested on IE, FF, Safari & Google Chrome, and it's all the same. How can it work correctly for you, and yet it doesn't for myself and others who have tried it?

Actually, you're right. I was viewing your site by browsing all products and filtering by manufacturer. It would appear that when browsing by manufacturer the pagination does indeed fail. Sorry, my mistake, read your post wrong!

I'll take a look at this. I'm snowed under with development work for websites at the minute so it could be few weeks before I get a chance.

All the best...

Hi Conor,

I'm using v3.2.2 and everything is working fine except for one small issue. The store is installed in the root directory. Adding parameters onto the URI for the root causes a 404 error, though parameters work elsewhere in the store.

Going to...
http://www.example.com/
...works fine but going to...
http://www.example.com/?utm_source=news
...triggers a 404 error.

Using...
http://www.example.com/index.php?utm_source=news
...also generates a 404 but using...
http://www.example.com/index.php?main_page=index&utm_source=news
...works fine.

Regards,
Christian.
