Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[conor]

Hi Alan,

Today I just see a artivle talked about the Ceon URL mapping, it says: as Ceon need to write every URL to the data-base, if some one open the site, and it need to read every URL in the data base, thus cause the website very slow, I think this is the cause why my site very slow. any suggestions? Thanks.

What article are you talking about?

And what version of the software are you using?

The software has been tested in sites with 24000 products and it works very quickly indeed. If you are experiencing a slow site you either need to upgrade your version to a more recent one which features the speed enhancements or you need to move to a decent server. No decent server should ever be significantly slowed down by Ceon URI Mapping, its lookups are very basic, reasonably efficient SQL.

All the best..

Currently I use 3.4.3 version. As will release the 4.0.0, I will update it after you have this version. Thanks

Hi,

Currently I use 3.4.3 version.

That's very out of date! You need to upgrade to 3.8.0. The speed enhancements were added in 3.6.3.

As will release the 4.0.0, I will update it after you have this version. Thanks

I give no release dates out so you're better to upgrade to 3.8.0 now. You can then upgrade to 4.0.0 later.

Just download the modified files from your site (the 4 files in the admin directory, file in admin functions directory, files in admin modules directory and 3 files in store includes directories), apply (merge) the modifications for the latest version and upload the modified files. Then overwrite the standard Ceon URI Mapping files with the updated version's files. (All as per the upgrade instructions).

It won't take long so you may as well put the effort in, as if anyone asks "when will 4.0.0 be out" I won't even reply!! :)

All the best..

Hi Conor,

Had you install this mod on my site www.burnerbooks.com. Wondering if you could help...

I also have product book module and use the filters.
With categories, I noticed that the second level is not mapped. When I use filter to get Christmas cards. I get this page of Christmas cards, showing this in browser instead of title Christmas Cards:

http://www.burnerbooks.com/?main_pag...q2cpco89ne1jv5

I use define main pages in the admin/tools/define_pages_editor to input new sales. When I tried to insert image (with link) of Christmas card and link it to the above page. It will not work.

Wonderful module! I really like it. My pages look so much better. Thanks, Kim

Hi!

I have a (hopefully) quick question. I installed Ceon URI Mapping today and it all went pretty smoothly. Only one hangup that was user error. For some reason I completely missed uploading the updated core files. After a lot of head smacking I got back on track and it's been great.

I have all my categories and products fixed up. Now I am trying to change the way the pages like specials, shipping & returns, conditions of use, etc. look.

I have followed the directions and added a new record in the ceon_uri_mappings table. I have tried to add in the proper settings and this is where I am hung up. I have been working on the Specials page. And I've also tried the Shipping & Info page. I haven't tried any others.

My shop is not in the root but is in a folder. I have tried various combinations of what I should put in the uri field and in the main_page field but I can't seem to figure out what works. I have made sure that current_uri is set to 1, the language_id is set to 1 (since all the others were 1 I figured that was the right number), and I used NOW function to put a date in date_added. The other fields are NULL except for redirection_type which is 301.

I want this: /patternshop/index.php?main_page=specials
to turn into this: /patternshop/specials or something similar if it is possible.

Thanks for any help!

In addition to the values you've outlined you need to set

uri to /patternshop/specials

and main_page to specials

That's it. Easy!

All the best..

I made a subdomain - named "blog" and have loaded wp files there but can't access it. I don't know much about rewrites but I tried adding the following to the .htaccess.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog [NC]

am I on the right track?

Thanks for the help.

Thank you so much!! It worked perfectly and I got all the other pages set up too.

Take care,

Syntax error on line 16 of /home7/acquatua/public_html/.htaccess.JPr9ZJsZZyluVwZCAbunapZewkgYebx6:

All I had to do was remove the !
so the rewrite condition reads:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog [NC]

Now I can access my blog.

Wishing you all success!
