Ceon URI Mapping v4

[conor]

Hi Engin,

How are you?

Strange (but good of course) to see a photo of you.. put a real face to the virtual you! :)

Hi Conor,

Hope you are having a good time there.

Unfortunately as you'll have seen by now, although the first few days were great, things have been very bad since..

I have installed 4.0.2 on a brand new 1.3.9h so no core file merging was required. You'll find a link to my website at the bottom of this post.

Everything went perfect with installation check etc. I have also added re-write rule to .htaccess. When I set up a category or item's static URI I get the following error immediately after I hit "preview"

You're attempting to use the UMM edition of the software without UMM.. I'll get in contact privately to discuss how to sort this out.

All the best...

I am so sorry to hear all that you've been through my friend. Hope you get better really soon.
I have great respect to you that you are even trying to help us even in this condition.

About the UMM; this was what exactly I was thinking. I just didn't it since I only had 78 products.

Anyway I'll talk to you on the private end.

Hi,

I recently updated from 3.8 to 4.02 on 1.39d. everything went well, but I had a question about the htaccess rewrite rule. I have made a custom page names "shop" but is one of the rules it the htaccess. I simply deleted that entry and everything seems to work fine, but was there a reason the shop rule was put in there?

I'm afraid your English isn't so good in the formation of this question and as such I can't quite follow you.

What is "a custom page names shop"? And what is "but is one of the rules it the htaccess" meant to mean??!

All the best...

lol I'm afraid I have to make it even worse.. I fell seriously ill half an hour before the dinner was about to be served in the wedding I'd flown over a thousand miles to get to and am only able to answer this post on a temporary break from hospital.

I hope everything will be OK with you soon Conor. Sorry to hear that.

Hi Randy,

I hope everything will be OK with you soon Conor. Sorry to hear that.

Thanks, more importantly, I hope all is going well with your recovery and that you are growing stronger.

lol I will say that one thing that is good about French hospitals is that they give you a wee pack with a DVD of your brain scans when you leave.. feels like good value for money! ;)

Going to have a wee play with Zen Cart 1.5.0beta before I go back into hospital here in Ireland (no free DVDs here but at least you don't have to pay for hospital! ;) ), maybe get a new version of Ceon URI Mapping out for 1.5.0beta too.. watch this space.

All the best...

Hi Conor I'm getting stronger and feeling better with each passing day my friend. Thanks for all your get well typing.

Yes it does...lol

I'm going to try this out also on my test sever.

Check your email I sent you a Donation for all the hard work you put in on this module.

Hi Csorik ,

I had been looked for an upgrade but as i see you made - the module compatible with php 5.3 only for zencart 1.3.9.

Is there a work around my problem?

Just letting people know that you had simply thought that 1.3.8a wasn't supported in the latest version, which you now know it is. :)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

All the best...

This is how it fails:

If I try to use the URI that is assigned, it kicks me back to the home page.
It keeps the assigned URI in the browser bar, but now I'm staring at the home page instead of the product page that's supposed to own that URI.
It does that no matter where I am in the site when I throw the auto-generated URI in the header - kicks back to home page, but keeps the URI in the browser bar.
If I hover over the product image or link on any page, I see the Zencurt URL in the lower left corner, not the CEO URI.
I can click and I'll go to the right product, but I never see the CEO link.

And, just for good measure, I also copied all the working admin files from BS to BCP, but it had zero effect (I didn't think that would make a difference, but it was worth trying).

I finally got it working by copying both files and database structure from a working installation.

Thanks for the offer to help!

Hi,

To be honest I knew it could only be a mismatch of some files and/or database structure as v4 can't fail in the way you mentioned, so I was going to go in and "sync" things properly for you.

Glad you've got that all sorted yourself.. more time for both of us to spend on other things! ;)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

All the best...

Hi,

I installed the Ceon URI Mapping add-on to my site (www.bbetoysplus.com) today and according to the installation check at the end of the process, it installed perfectly with no problems.

However, even after manually updating each category, the dynamic URIs are still being displayed in place of the static URIs.

After taking a look at your site I saw that the configuration options in the admin had not been created during installation.

This is very strange. It has happened to two of you here and I noticed it happen with 3 or 4 users of Ceon URI Mapping 3.x previously.

Yet there's no logical reason for this to ever happen, it's just a simple SQL insert command.

I was able to "fix" your installation by going to Modules -> Ceon URI Mapping (SEO) Config, appending ?check-config to the address (after .php), then refreshing the page.

The software then checked for the config option, found it missing and added it.

It added it using exactly the same method that was used in the attempt to add it when you first installed.

Why this "sometimes" fails and works other times is beyond me! Computers don't work randomly like that! So it must be a strange Zen Cart quirk. Hmm.

Nevertheless, that's things fixed for you now.

I may add this info as a FAQ in case this happens to others, although I really am at pains to understand why it happened in the first place!

All the best...
