Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[IGD]

Ceon,

ever have any issues with 500 Internal Server Errors when operating from subdomain. i.e. store.domain.com?

getting "Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace." errors

thanks for a cool mod as it works on other sites.

Hi,

Try adding a slash before index.php in the rewrite rule

Subdomains make no difference whatsoever as to how the module works... everything before the initial slash is irrelevant! So I think this is just a server configuration problem on your end (like using a htaccess rewrite rule in a virtualhost directive, which the above tip should fix).

thanks for a cool mod as it works on other sites.

Sounds like thousands are using it now! :)

All the best...

it is actually a configuration error as I am redirecting the subdomain to a local web server. thank you for your time :)

Greetings!

I work for a non-profit that assists small businesses. Installed your module and it worked fine on the first try. Great documentation.

We edited the URIs, created new sitemap.xml files, and resubmitted to Google.

PROBLEM: Webmaster tools is showing pages with duplicate title and meta tags due to duplicate pages. Solved this problem for our own non-profit site by adding the canonical URL meta tag per Google's recommendation.

I found the following fragment for adding a cononical URI meta tag to Zen Cart, but am unsure how to modify the script to pull the SEO URI to populate the tag.

<!– Begin SEO Canonical –>
<link rel=”canonical” href= <?php
$original_url = HTTP_SERVER . $_SERVER[’REQUEST_URI’];
$split_url = explode(’?', $original_url);
$no_querystring_url = $split_url[0];
echo $no_querystring_url; ?> />
<!– End SEO Canonical –>

Can anyone help us figure this out?

We suspect $original_url = needs to grab the SEO URL from the database somehow and then it will probably work.

Hi all,
Love the add on, but I am experiencing a problem. I installed this add on and it seems to work for the front store. But for some reason it still over writes my admin pages. I renamed the admin folder, lets say for "admin1" and in my access file i put:

RewriteEngine On

# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxx])
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$
# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin1.* [NC]
# Don't rewrite editors directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/editors.* [NC]
# Don't rewrite cPanel directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/cpanel.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/frontend.* [NC]
# Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (index.php)
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]


And still it overwrites it, does anybody what might be wrong?
Thanks!!!

forgot to add, my admin folder is in the root of the site. And my site is on the bluehost, if it matters.
Thanx again!!!

Hi Dan,

I'm afraid the only explanation I can think of is that you aren't actually using the correct rewrite rule.. either because you haven't uploaded your updated .htaccess file or have got the admin directory wrong. I can't think of any other reasons the rule you posted wouldn't work.

Good luck getting this sorted!

All the best...

I'm afraid I don't know about canonical URLs. Hopefully someone here can help you.

Thank you Conor for your fast reply. It was my stupid mistake that did not let it working, but now it is fine

I have another question
in my categories I have many pages and in the second and next pages, the url has an end like this http://www.mysite.com/dresses?&sort=20a&page=2, is it possible to get rid of ?&sort=20a&page=2 and just have dresses/p2 or something like that?

Thank You!!!
Love your add on!!!!

I'm glad to hear that! :)

That would require custom coding. I don't think the time it would take would be worth it!

Love your add on!!!!

Glad to hear that too! :)

All the best...
