Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[conor]

Hi,

Ten hours in the making, it gives me great pleasure to announce the release of another new version of Ceon URI Mapping.

All users should upgrade to 3.6.0 now!

All going well, this should be the last release for 2010!

Free support from Ceon will only be given for version 3.6.0 in future.

Upgrading shouldn't take long.. there are a few new template files with this version which should be copied into the appropriate folders. As always, full instructions are included in the distribution which help make this process simple.


From the Revision History:

[ADDED] Support for filtered product listings having their own static URI added. Previously only a single unique set of query string parameters would allow a filter product listing to have its own static URI. The software can now extract the identifying query string parameters which allow product listing pages to have their own static URI.

[ADDED] Modified template files added to distribution to enable support for static URIs in the Manufacturers sidebox, the Music Genres sidebox, the Record Company sidebox and all of the product listing filter forms. This would seem to complete the support for static URIs in a standard Zen Cart installation. There are no further files known to have code which does not support static URIs!

[UPDATED] Software will now (once again) redirect to the static URI for a manufacturer's page, if it exists, when the index page is being accessed with the query string parameters identifying a manufacturer.

[BUGFIX] The canonical URI for the root of a site was incorrectly having its trailing slash removed.

[UPDATED] Checks against the query string parameters being used to build links are now case insensitive.

[UPDATED] Order of checks against query string parameters changed so that the check for the identifying parameter for a category is now the last check made. This has been done in case any other software uses links which have the category query string parameter in them, so that these [hypothetical] links won't have their static URIs incorrectly overridden by a static URI for the associated category.


Download version 3.6.0 now!


Once it has been confirmed that this version does everything necessary for a Zen Cart store to be able to use static URIs for all of its URIs and that this software works without any ill effect, the distribution will be uploaded to the Zen Cart downloads area. In the meantime please use the above link.

Enjoy!

All the best...
