Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[Limitless]

DV,

Considering your fervent defense in Feb 2010 of the mods in question here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=1182 I erroneously assumed that this mod was working with CEON's URI mod.

No, I am not saying his software is broken. I am saying that his software BROKE something. Completely different.
As someone who also has nearly 20 years in Enterprise IT, I am aware of incompatibilities, troubleshooting, etc. and how code falls apart under different scenarios.

I purchased his software because what I saw was top-notch, installation, interface and execution. I searched the forums and while I could have opened a support ticket with him at 3am, I decided to post up a question instead based on the exact same issue being reported AND you stating that the Fual Lightbox mod worked with his software.

In my first post, I showed the 404 here:
"GET /light-communication/includes/templates/bask_black/jscript/slimbox/fual_slimbox.compressed.js HTTP/1.0" 404

Most definitely a Fual Slimbox file. The remaining posts had various snips of the source, logs, etc. edited for brevity.

I posted follow up questions as he intimately knows his software. If I were to pursue paying a programmer to ~fix~ my kludge, I would have no idea how to explain the issue without the additional insight I was hoping to glean from his post that I referenced in my initial inquiry. My 'workaround' has now provided me that additional insight, if nothing else.

Reminds me of a joke...

How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb?

None, its a hardware problem.

Apples and oranges.. whole different problem being reported here.. (BTW, fervent is a bit of an overstatement..) But that said it's probably possible that the current issue with Fual Slimbox is the issue.. Personally I switched over to Zen Lightbox which has more features and is better supported than Fual Slimbox (which was not updated for v1.3.9 compatibility)..

The issue you are having is due to a flaw in Fual Slimbox. (and one I wasn't aware of for the record) But since you pointed out my thread, we're also speaking of a different version of even Conor's mod than when I posted that "fervent defense". Conor's mod has advanced quite a bit in the last year whereas Fual Slimbox has not (no updates since 2008).. Therefore the flaw Conor pointed out 3 years ago still exists.. I don't consider Ceon URI broken simply because it breaks a FLAWED add-on..The flawed add-on is broken because it's flawed..

Hello
is there anyway to switch this mod on and off?
im having problem below and need to check if the mod is an issue.

Thanks

i want to re-direct to main.html till my sites ready.
main.html contains 'under construction' text

My .htaccess contains text below

DirectoryIndex main.html index.htm index.php

This works in that main.html is what is shown.

The problem im having now is even when i type in my index.php URL
i get re-directed to main.htm.
so i cant see my zencart homepage

if i remove .htaccess, then i (and everyone else) sees my unfinished zencart index page

Help please!

Yes there's a way to switch this mod on and off. Look under configuration/Ceon URI Mapping (SEO) and switch off or on.

Hi,

This isn't anything to do with Ceon URI Mapping.

You have rule(s) in your .hatccess file which are directing traffic to main.html

You need to fix this rule/these rules.

You should start a new thread about .htaccess rules and redirection.

Sorry I don't have time to help with this external issue here for free, I hope you can get it sorted soon.

All the best..

Thanks for your reply Conor
but Ceon URI Mapping does seem to be the issue here.
in that, if i switch it off my problem is fixed.
The .hatccess does what i want it to.
i.e. it serves up main.html by default
but i can still view my index.php buy typing in the full URL

When i switch on Ceon URI Mapping
i get served up main.html, even when i type in index.php as above.

my .hatccess just has text below

DirectoryIndex main.html index.htm index.php

Can i set an exception or something?
Thanks again

Hi,

Sorry, that's a common mistake people make.. what you are talking about is a correlation, not a causation.

Can i set an exception or something?

Yes. But you must do this in the .htaccess file.

Sorry, but I hope you understand that I can't help you with that here.. I'd need access to your server files to see what you've done.. which is outside of the free support I offer for Ceon URI Mapping as it's fixing a server issue not a module conflict issue.

All the best..
