Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

Further: I edited all Manufacturer's to

/brand/brandname as suggested. Still same issue of subcategory's not listing on the main page any longer.

Also think the rest of issue is mine.

Listing correctly now.. but for some reason showing sub category on home page.

I do have show sub categories on.. but these were not previously loading on home page... but were when top category selected on the home.

Anyways thanks again.

Hi,

Listing correctly now.. but for some reason showing sub category on home page.

It looks fine to me? Either way, this is most likely just a setting in Zen Cart. Maybe you've fixed this now?

All the best..

The other issue is the admin url. If this type of url is used

http://website.com/zc_admin

I get redirected to the storefront, so to get in to admin this kind of url needs to be used

http://website.com/zc_admin/login.php

I think it must be something in the htaccess. This is what is being used in the htaccess file. The last two strings is what is original to the file.

Any help would be really appreciated.

RewriteEngine On

# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-z]{2,5}$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/zc_admin[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]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^websitename.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.websitename\.com" [R=301,L]

The first big block of code is for a rewrite. This matches certain URL requests then fetches the content from inside the server by changing the internal pointer to point at a different internal location to get it from.

The last two lines are for a badly-coded redirect. However, it is too late to redirect to a different URL AFTER you have already rewritten the request to a new server-internal filepath.

The redirect code needs to be moved to be at the top of the file and it can be corrected using the redirect code found in: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=151606

Hello, i installed the latest ver. averything working great, my probelm is that most of my images are not jpg files they are file ext. how can i make them show up on my site without exchanging them to .jpg ext. ?

I've got most of my extra pages mapped in phpmyadmin. I've run into trouble with the news module links. The links look like this

/index.php?main_page=more_news&news_id=1

I've been reading the documentation for, Specifying the current URI Mapping for any other Zen Cart page

I've tried to follow the directions but I guess I'm just not getting it.

Should this be split between main_page and query_string_parameters

more

more_news&news_id=1

I've tried numerous variations but still no luck. I either get the url I want that leads to a page not found, or I get the zen generated link to the correct page.

I had everything working great until I upgraded my Zen Cart. At first I thought the uri module was out of date so I went to the Ceon site and installed the latest version.

Now I am running into a little problem, it is only mapping uri's for categories I make, but not for individual products. What do you think could be wrong?

I got it.

main_page - more_news

query_string_parameters - news_id=1

Ceon URI Mapping doesn't attempt to map any images or any URIs with an extension. I don't know why your images aren't showing.

Check you've put a proper rewrite rule in place that isn't blocking URIs with extensions.

All the best..

It sounds like you haven't installed the software properly. Re-do the installation, taking special care when modifying the files in the admin/includes/modules directory.
