Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[DivaVocals]

This makes sense, thank :-) Will rethink once again :-)

Sure.. The google webmaster tools is very helpful if you decide to simply create a script to import you mappings into the Ceon tables.. The point is there are some fairly painless ways to accomplish this on a ONE TIME basis.. You won't regret the conversion to Ceon URI Mapping.. This IMHO is one of the BEST of breed for this class of apps for Zen Cart..
(BTW, are any of the "others" v1.5 ready??? Hmmmmmmmmm.. Haven't checked in on any of them in a while, but my guess would be NO..)

Another (kinda related) example on how the Google webmaster tools will help, I recently had a site which as converting from Joomla to WordPress.. I had to re-direct all those old Joomla URLs to the new WordPress equivalents.. I got the full list of links from the Google webmasters tools and created a spreadsheet that I imported to create the old to new mappings (there is a nice redirect plugin for WP that stores the redirect mappings in a table)..

I just installed the module in my 1.5 version store that I am working to set up and when I go to the admin panel ONLY the "configuration" tab shows.
None of the other tabs, Catalog, modules, customers, etc. display and as a result I can not proceed with the configuration.
I followed the installation instructions to the letter, or so I thought, looked thru the FAQs and tried searching the forum also for solution but I had no luck.
I am sure I missed something, somewhere, and I am a very newbie on this zen-cart setting up business and I would appreciate if someone has an answer to my issue, in not extremely technical terms!
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Van,

when I go to the admin panel ONLY the "configuration" tab shows.
None of the other tabs, Catalog, modules, customers, etc. display

Unfortunately it sounds like you've messed up your Zen Cart admin somehow.

Are you sure this happened just after you attempted to install Ceon URI Mapping?

Did you do several things at the same time, installing other modules perhaps?

If attempting to install Ceon URI Mapping was the last thing you did then I'd suggest carrying out the installation from start to finish all over again.

I don't think that will have been the source of your problem though, the entire admin menu shouldn't ever disappear!

Hope you can get this sorted.

All the best..

Hi Conor,


Thanks for the quick reply!
Your module was the first module I have tried to install and there were no other changes made.
In fact, after I installed and noticed the proble, I re-uploaded the original "includes" and "admin" folders that I had backed up prior to installation, (overriding the ones with the module installed), and the admin panel was restored to normal.
I went thru and installed the module again and the same problem showed up.
Apparently I goofed somewhere, I just can't figure out what I have missed.
Thanks again for your reply.

Hi,

I re-uploaded the original "includes" and "admin" folders that I had backed up prior to installation, (overriding the ones with the module installed), and the admin panel was restored to normal.

I've a feeling you may have "mixed" the store's includes folder and admin folders together. I'm really not sure, but I would do a full comparison using software such as Beyond Compare with a fresh installation of Zen Cart, to see if you have placed some files where you shouldn't have.

Once you're sure you've not mixed things up in the filesystem, try installing the Ceon URI Mapping again.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

All the best...

Using Zen 1.5

I installed Ceon URI on my main site shown below

www.livewiseindustries.com


Just realized that because of the .htaccess modifications, I cannot access my addon site shown below

http://www.reddotfirearms.com

My question is: Is there a quick fix or code I can add to the .htaccess file to help it find my addon site?

The .htaccess code is:

## BEGIN CEON URI MAPPING REWRITE RULE

RewriteEngine On

# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-z]{2,5}$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite any URIs for some, popular specific file format extensions,
# which are not covered by main file extension condition above
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(mp3|mp4|h264)$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite any URIs for some specific file format extensions,
# which are not covered by main file extension condition above
# Uncomment the following line to apply this condition! (Remove the # at the start of the next line)
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(3gp|3g2|h261|h263|mj2|mjp2|mp4v|mpg4|m1v|m2v|m4u|f4v|m4v|3dml)$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/AdminLW [NC]
# Don't rewrite editors directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/editors/ [NC]
# Don't rewrite wasatchdefense directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wasatchdefense/ [NC]
# Don't rewrite cgi-bin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cgi-bin/ [NC]
# Don't rewrite reddotfirearms directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/reddotfirearms/ [NC]
# Don't rewrite .smileys directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/.smileys/ [NC]
# Don't rewrite livewisenation directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/livewisenation/ [NC]
# Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (its index.php)
RewriteRule .* index.php [QSA,L]

## END CEON URI MAPPING REWRITE RULE

Any help I can get will be much appreciated

Ok... I figured it out. I simply needed to install Ceon URI mapping to the addon site. That took care of the problem.

Hi,

This isn't really the correct place to be asking such a question as this is a rewrite rule/htaccess question, however..

I think if you add the following condition to that rewrite rule in your .htaccess file it may help.

If not then please look on the internet for information about hosting subdomains and rewrite rules.

# Don't interfere with subdomain www.reddotfirearms.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.reddotfirearms\.com)?$

All the best...

I have an older version of the mod on one of my sites.
it has an area where you can set up files to exclude.
i.e. tell Ceon to ignore.

I have recently installed the latest version on another site.
This option seems to have gone?
or has it moved?

HI,

The software was completely rewritten, with lots of major improvements in how it works "in the background". Subsequently the Exclude Files functionality is no longer needed.. so it's gone altogether, making the software even easier to install and use. :)

All the best..
