Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[Wilkesy]

Hi,

Hopefully this is a quicky,

I am seeing issues arise in Google webmaster tools showing duplicate content due to the ?cpath information being added for linked products.

Is there a fix for this?

Regards

Paul

Conor,
I have fixed the 1.5.0 admin with Fual Slimbox but not the link compatibility as I was not aware.
All the problems would be in the original tpl_main_products_image.php.

Any assistance from you would be FANTASTIC!
Thanx in advance.
John

Hi John,

How are you?

Hope you're well! :)

I don't know what admin issue you are referring to (maybe the admin link issue most modules have with 1.5.0's silly new restrictions?), but yes, I've about 10 module updates due out over the next few days (!) and then I can take a look at this too, I'm sure it'll be easy enough to sort out. :)

All the best..

It's been a while since I installed this - just because I haven't need to. Just wanted to say how impressed I was with the work you have done. A lot of nice touches, like the auto-creation of the htaccess file that has the exclusions of other folders built in. Cool. A small donation for a pint or two should be with you.
Very impressed as always

Hi, Conor!
I've tested your add-on, and it seems to be great (I like it's ability to type friendly urls manually, and the fact that the urls will not change if I change a product name). But I have one issue:
I'm using ultimate SEO URLs mod for few years, and my pages indexed by search engined and linked by many sites using those urls generated automatically. I even had to write whole bunch of 301 redirects to solve problems with changed urls.
So, is there a way to automatically map old urls requested to new urls made with your mod, without having 1000s lines of redirects in the .htaccess?
I understand that it is not related to your mod directly, but this will be one of major factors to make decision about switching to your mod since I don't like idea to lose ALL my pages from SE indexes and broke all links from many sites referring to mine...

Hi Rafael,

I'm glad you like it! :)

Yes, I've seen that before, that's not much fun to have to do!

Since those URIs have IDs in them you can always write a script to parse the URIs and create historical URIs for them, so they redirect to whatever you have defined as the current Ceon URI Mapping.

So, is there a way to automatically map old urls requested to new urls made with your mod, without having 1000s lines of redirects in the .htaccess?

I'm not allowed to talk about other software here I'm afraid.

I can understand that!

For all products at once auto feature Conor cannot answer this question here on this support forum as the rules of this forum prohibit the support or discussion of paid modules on the part of the module creator. The particular module you speak of will be a commercial module, and if you want more information on it, you will need to contact Conor via e-mail. (use the contact form on the Ceon website)

Yep Ceon's Mapping manager is AWESOME!!! Worth the money!!! I am converting a client from a WordPress shop to Zen Cart and I was able to recreate all the old shop URLs and re-direct them to their new Zen Cart equivalents.. Tre cool!!! Conor rocks like Led Zepplin!!!!

I know about this module, but it will not solve my problem. I don't need just auto built URI's. I need to match any new URI with old URI, especially if it is linked from some forum, blog or any other than search engine source (SE links will be rebuilt over time, but I just can't track all other links and force people to change them).
So, if only way is writing of .htaccess 301 redirect rule for all pages (more that 1000), it will be nightmare and unreasonably large .htaccess file. That is why I want to know if there is more smart way to keep old links working. If not, I'll rather stay with old mod.
Thanks.

Hi Nicholas,

It's been a while since I installed this - just because I haven't need to. Just wanted to say how impressed I was with the work you have done.

Thanks very much for the nice comments, they help to make all the time spent on the software worthwhile!

A lot of nice touches, like the auto-creation of the htaccess file that has the exclusions of other folders built in. Cool.

I'm glad you like that.. current versions mess up when a directory has a space in its name. 4.0.8 has a fix for this and shall be out shortly.

A small donation for a pint or two should be with you.
Very impressed as always

Wow, thanks, it's very rare to receive anything, thanks very much for that! :)

Have a nice weekend!

All the best..
