Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[CheapStairParts]

Just did a fresh install of zencart 1.3.9H

Added the latest version of ceon url mapping

Every product page that I add a url to won't view correctly. It is like every page that gets the URL is showing the main-page data

socialmarketingninjas.com


I am pretty sure it is the .htaccess file issue. an empty file gives me this error, but the recommended settings give all 404 errors, with the two // or with / on the index.php

any suggestions?

Hi,

Just did a fresh install of zencart 1.3.9H

You've messed up your configure file(s). You can't have two slashes. Sort that out and generate a new example rewrite rule and use it and things should be fine.

(Hint: look at values for DIR_WS_CATALOG and HTTP_SERVER).

All the best..

I blame my host, hostgator, since it was their quickinstall tool that I used.

I removed all of the extra // in the config file and it worked.

Thank you so much!

Glad you're sorted.

What is this "quick install tool"?

Something that installs Zen Cart? Or third party ZC modules?

If ZC, then it created configure.php files with double slashes in them?

Out of curiosity, where were the double slashes, in which defines?

hostgator are quite popular I thought so surprised this is the first time I've encountered this problem.

All the best...

Quick Install is similar to Fantastico. A program in cPanel that automatically installs a large variety of programs with a few clicks. (tons of shopping cards, blogging engines, etc.)

For whatever reason they are adding extra // during the install phase. I send a message to tech support about it.

And hopefully any other people who run into this same issue now know the fix.

Hello,

I managed to install ceon_uri_mapping_4.0.3_for_zc with ZC 1.3.8a. It works fine and rewriting works smoothly for all pages, except the index page.

I have bilingual site and I would like to have unique URIs for both language mutations of the homepage, such as:

site.com/en/ (originally index.php?main_page=index&language=en)
site.com/fr/ (originally index.php?main_page=index&language=fr)

I inserted these records into the mappings table (in analogous manner which worked for all other main_page=pagename pages except 'index'):

[FONT="Courier New"]INSERT INTO `ceon_uri_mappings`
(`uri`, `language_id`, `current_uri`, `main_page`, `query_string_parameters`, `associated_db_id`, `alternate_uri`, `redirection_type_code`, `date_added`)
VALUES
('/en/', 1, 1, 'index', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, '2011-08-31 19:40:00'),
('/fr/', 2, 1, 'index', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, '2011-08-31 19:40:00');
[/FONT]

But I can't make these URIs visible and provide unique, distinguishable URIs for each language mutation. At the moment, the homepage has the same URI for both languages. Am I missing something here?

I also tried to add language=en|fr into the query_string_parameters column. This did not solve the problem.

Many thanks for help

Hi,

The homepage is handled specifically in the Ceon URI Mapping code.

At Ceon we also use /en/ etc to specify differing language versions in our aarck / aawe software. Thinking about it, I may not ever have tested the same functionality in Ceon URI Mapping for the homepage. I have tested it for other pages, e.g. /fr/chaises etc

This is probably something ive overlooked.

If so I'll fix it in 4.0.8

I'm in hospital at the minute so I don't know when that will be released.

All the best...

Conor,

Hi,

[FONT=Courier New]('/en/', 1, 1, 'index', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, '2011-08-31 19:40:00'),
('/fr/', 2, 1, 'index', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, '2011-08-31 19:40:00');

[/FONT] But I can't make these URIs visible and provide unique, distinguishable URIs for each language mutation. At the moment, the homepage has the same URI for both languages. Am I missing something here?

I should have realised..

you made a mistake. You put a slash at the end of the URIs!

Change them to

/en

and

/fr

and things work fine.

Great software this, nothing for me to fix here! :)

Version 4.0.8 on its way soon!

All the best..
