Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[conor]

Hi,

HI, I successfully installed latest version of CEON URL and I love it! It was exactly what I was looking for.

Glad you like it.

1. Add to card button & Buy now button stopped working. By clicking Add to card - it's refreshes the page - not adding product to card and not redirecting to shopping cart content.

2. Problem with pages without "www". For example, If I go to www.mysite.com/product - it works great, but if I delete "www" and the beginning and go to mysite.com/product - it says - page does not exists.

These problems are normally called when your site redirects because of a rewrite rule moving people from a URI without www. at the start to one that has www. at the start (or vice versa), but when your configure.php files have definitions for HTTP_SERVER etc. which don't have www. at the start.

Make sure that you have the correct settings for the HTTP_SERVER/HTTPS_SERVER/HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER etc. variables.

Then make sure that if you have any extra rewrite rules in your .htaccess file, other than the Ceon URI Mapping one, that they match up with what you have set in your configure.php files.

Finally, once you've done all the above, if you still have add to cart issues then you haven't modified html_output.php.

That's ALL the information you should need.

If that doesn't help then please pay a developer to help you with this.

Have a great weekend.. I'll be away for a few days so will not be replying to any posts here.

All the best...

Hi,

This is a brill update Conor

Glad you like it.

It said that my DIR_WS_CATALOG showed / when it should have shown /mydomainname.co.uk/

Why are you building a site in a path that has a subfolder "/mydomainname.co.uk"?

That's clearly wrong!

So I changed them and it said installation was a success

The installation check has never failed to be wrong so I'd imagine you've messed up somewhere else.

But when viewing my website now the whole template has gone and the site layout has also disappeared. What I basically have is a white page with just the links on it.

What did I miss?

Sounds like your template isn't using static links but using relative links.

You need to make sure that base href is set before any CSS files are loaded (html_header.php), or that the links to use the template (to load the CSS/JS files etc.) use static URIs (start with /).

Sorry, but since I'm going to be away for a few days and as this is a mistake you've made with your site, I'm afraid I cannot give you any more help here.

I will also say.. whatever you do, DO NOT test a site out in a subfolder.. only test using a full domain or subdomain when testing a site with static URIs.. nothing else makes sense.

I hope the above information is enough for you to get things sorted.

All the best...

You need to merge the files using software such as WinMerge or Beyond Compare.

I'm afraid that the free support here does not extend to teaching you how to do that.

If you're having any trouble, search the net for guides on how to merge files or get a developer to help you.

It's a good skill to have and I've made things very easy to do on the Ceon URI Mapping side by marking all changes carefully so you should be able to merge the Ceon URI Mapping changes to the collect_info.php file into the version supplied by whatever other mod this is you are using, without much effort really!

Good luck! :)

All the best...

WordPress on Zencart (AKA WOZ) is a fundamentally flawed add-on which does not work with current versions of Zen Cart or WordPress, and historically does not play nice with ALL SEO mods.. Though Hira (the author of WOZ) did try to add "patches" to address the "compatibility" issues with WOZ and SEO add-ons, most of his "fixes" amounted to nothing more than hacks which appear to fix the issue but they do not address the real underlying issues with the fact that WOZ is not written correctly to begin with..

The "compatibility" issues with WOZ which have EVERYTHING to do with the fact that WOZ is coded incorrectly and NOTHING to do with Ceon URI Mapping.. As such, there isn't anything that can be done with the Ceon URI Mapping to correct fundamental flaws with WOZ adn as such "make" it compatible..

Hi,
I am trying to evaluate whether to use this module or not, but I have a question for which there is no answer in the FAQ.

In the features list it says

"Support for all of Zen Cart's Standard Product Types (and more)!"

This seems to imply some that custom product types aren't supported out of the box?

I have currently 5 custom product types and more may yet be added
will I need to add code for CEON to support these?

Thanks,

Hi,

Yes, you'd have to add custom for each custom product type the store uses.

There was no simple way to write the software to cope with product types that it knows nothing about, certainly without adding lots of SQL lookups.

If you're handy with PHP you should be able to modify all the module's files to add support for your custom product types.. it'll probably take up to an hour in all I'd imagine but would be simple enough.

You'd just search the module's files for PRODUCT_INFO and update the various sections of the various files that use the product type defines.

As an example, in class.CeonURIMappingAdminProductPages.php there's code:

$selections = array(
            'main_page' => array(
                FILENAME_DOCUMENT_GENERAL_INFO,
                FILENAME_DOCUMENT_PRODUCT_INFO,
                FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO,
                FILENAME_PRODUCT_BOOK_INFO,
                FILENAME_PRODUCT_FREE_SHIPPING_INFO,
                FILENAME_PRODUCT_MUSIC_INFO
                ),
            'associated_db_id' => (int) $product_id
            ); 

Obviously adding in support for other types in this code block is easy.. just add the filename define(s) to the array.

The code in all the other places which would need to be modified is similarly simple.

As this is custom coding I'm afraid I won't discuss it here further.. the above is the last I will post about this other than to wish you luck in getting it sorted.

All the best...
