Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[conor]

Hi Melodie,

when I tried to enter another product, I cannot click or type in the Products Description field at all. I entered a description in my first sample product, however, I cannot edit it either due to not being able to click in the box.

It sounds like you haven't applied the core file modifications properly, that something has gone wrong when you were copying the Ceon URI Mapping code into your versions of the files. The installation check is only a basic indication of code having been correctly applied, it can miss problems you've accidentally created with the PHP code by missing lines or repeating lines for example.

I think you should check each core modified file to fix any problems that may have occurred when you were adding the code for Ceon URI Mapping.

Hope that helps!

All the best...

I copied the core files directly, I didn't merge any files because none had been modified before. I'll reapply everything and get back and let you know how it turns out. Thank you!

I'm afraid that in that case, as I expected, this isn't anything to do with Ceon URI Mapping. So you can discount it as a source of the problem.

It sounds like your editor isn't loading so you can't edit the description.

I'm afraid you are best starting a new thread to ask for help about this. I'd suggest comparing all your files to a fresh version of Zen Cart.. you can ignore any Ceon URI Mapping differences, they won't be the cause of your problems, but take a careful look at any other differences.

Sorry I can't be of more help than that. Good luck in getting this sorted.

All the best..

I am doing an upgrade on a store that has this mod installed. I set everything up in the upgraded store, which is in a subdirectory for now, and made sure the htaccess was correct. All of the URLs were going back to the main site instead of the subdirectory pages. I cleared out the mappings table in the database, but now none of the urls are mapped. I know you have a tool to auto-generate them, but I shouldn't have to do that just to upgrade a site that is already using this mod should I?

Hi Danielle,

I hope you have a backup of the database from before the upgrade?

It's also best to research into all the existing modules installed on a store before you upgrade the existing store...

Unfortunately you would have found out that you are upgrading the store wrongly.

You CANNOT use a subdirectory when upgrading a store that uses static URIs. You must use a subdomain for the temporary (new) store.. to be honest, that's the professional way to do things and you should have done that anyway.. a good lesson to learn now and use for the future, so probably good that this happened to you! :)

but I shouldn't have to do that just to upgrade a site that is already using this mod should I?

The module's documentation makes it very clear that you do indeed have to do that.

So what you need to do is:

1) Move the new store to a subdomain (e.g. test.yourclientssite.com) instead of a subdirectory.

2) Restore the ceon_uri_mapping database table(s).

Then you'll have a test site with working URIs.

All the best...

Hi Conor I hope all your holiday's were great. I also hope you are doing better after all you have been through.
Now lets get down to the source of my problem.I created a new subdomain (e.g. shop.MyWebSite.com) to test out zen cart 1.5.0 on. I created a new database and inserted the ceon_uri_mapping database table(s) from my 1.3.9h database and it is sending me to my original web site. Maybe I have done something wrong here. My 1.5.0 database name is not the same as my 1.3.9h database could that be the problem. Thank you in advance and for all you hard work on your modules.

Hi,

Hi Conor I hope all your holiday's were great. I also hope you are doing better after all you have been through.

Thanks, holidays were fantastic, think I may well have broken the world record for most time spent on a sofa eating chocolates. Hope you had a good time too! :)

it is sending me to my original web site.

Ceon URI Mapping can't send anyone to a different site as it only works from the first slash after the domain name. (Hence why using subdomains won't interfere with its workings).

However, your rewrite rule(s) can easily send someone to another site.

It's your .htaccess file that will have the problem.. it must have a rewrite rule that is redirecting all URIs on the subdomain to your original site. Look for a rewrite rule that involves HTTP_HOST (e.g. www. to non www. or vice versa is a popular one).

If you're still having trouble please don't hesitate to get in contact privately..

All the best..

Conor, the problem was in the configure.php in the admin/includes. I could not get the product description editor to load properly without double forward slashes in the paths. However, leaving them in place and tweaking the .htaccess doesn't fix the 404 errors when clicking a product in the store frontend. Sigh. I'm moving on without URL remapping for now.

Hi,

That's just wrong. Double slashes are NEVER correct.

This isn't a problem with Ceon URI Mapping but send me FTP and admin details via this address and I'll take a quick look when I get a chance.

All the best...
