Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[Mark_88]

Wow, that was a speedy reply! Thanks.

The template is from a company named "Algozone". Link here. I do catch your drift, seems I'll have to have a long think about modifying the mobile mod to get it working for my store.

Unfortunately the developers "free 30 day support" only really includes the installation of the modification, not actual "support" to get it working ;)

One quick question regarding your URI Mappings Manager. How time consuming is it to import my "current" SSU URLS into the database so they don't appear as broken when upgrading/switching to CEON?

Cheers

Not that time consuming at all if you are willing to give a data import through phpAdmin a shot.. There's a handy Google Webmasters tool that can provide you with a list of all the URLS they have in their databases for your site.. You can export this list to CSV and create an import file to map the old URLs to the new URIs in this mod, and then import them into the Ceon URI table.. You can also invest in Ceon's URI Mapping Manager (available on the Ceon site).. It's well worth the money to make this conversion easier.

Hi,

Computers, eh? :)

Actually, the changes I pointed out in that last post should be very simple indeed.

Which is part of the reason I'm surprised this template designer took the approach they did. Creating a mobile.php file to replace index.php was the wrong way to go.

Unfortunately the developers "free 30 day support" only really includes the installation of the modification, not actual "support" to get it working ;)

Free "30 day" support? 30 days, that's it? Wow. Generous! :|

Suggest to them about using require('mobile.php') instead of calling mobile.php?main_page and they may realise how much easier that makes things for their customers and therefore them.

They'd be silly not to listen to you. Why create support issues unnecessarily? :)

Practically instantaneous but can't talk about that here I'm afraid.

Hi,
I was trying to find a solution to my problem but I haven't actually found anything that would work for me. I hope I am not duplicating any previous posts, but I did't find anything similar.

I installed the SEO URI Mapping like 2 days ago on a multi lingual website www.floridaherbalpharmacy.com and I noticed that the prices are not working for Serbian version - I mean all the products have their nice and shiny prices in English, but when I switch to Serbian there is no trace of them - they disappear. When I add a product to cart it's price is 0.

It started to happen after installing the SEO module so I decided to check the files to see which one caused the error - I removed the files from the admin directory and replaced them with the old ones but it didn't solve the problem. Could anyone please indicate the right track to fix it? I would be extremely happy.
Regards

Hello
sorry if this has been asked before but....
been using the mod successfully for about a year.
But for some of my products i need to use an alternative product type.
in this case the built in 'product-music'
the Ceon mapping options dont appear in the options for these products.
Im afraid in not on the latest version of the mod. i tried to find out which version but couldn't.
im on zen 1.3.8
id rather not have to re-install if i can avoid it

Thank You
Cookie

Hiya Connor,

Long time no talk, hope all is well.

I still have my Ceon URI Mapping Manager, it is working great and has been a huge time saver. I am still on ZC 139h, have not upgraded yet.

Anyway, ran into a weird quirk today. For some reason my Contact Us page won't accept the Ceon generated URL. The contact page is managed by EZpages as an internal link.

I ticked the box to have the URI auto-generated for this EZ-Page. I went to the store to test the link and the URL was still:
http://www.MYSITE.com/index.php?main_page=contact_us

When I went back to the admin to try again, now the auto-generated URI (/Contact_Us) appears in the box as if it is working!

But it doesn't work.

All my other EZpages obey the Ceon URI, but this is the only one that is an Internal Link.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Mike

I don't see anything about installing on a local host, with the .htaccess file installed i get an internal server error no matter what i change. Without the .htaccess installed i can go to a product and i am told the URI has changed but when i go to the product it shows like http://localhost/audio-video/banana-...ost-black-ring but i get a blank page. Any product that has not been changed displays okay. Will this not work on localhost using wamp ?
Thank you

Hi Mike,

Long time no talk, hope all is well.

Thanks, things are pretty bad but life goes on.. Almost got all the new Zen Cart releases ready to go after two years.. at last! :)

You can't use EZ-Page internal links on a site that uses static URIs.

It's as simple as that!

You must delete the internal link.

Internal links are a kludge that a fresh version of Zen Cart needs because it uses dynamic URIs. With a site using Ceon URI Mapping - and therefore static URIs - you don't need to do anything like that anymore. You can just create a URI for the contact us page (as you've done in UMM) and then use that URI in your links.

Hope that helps!

All the best...

I'm afraid support is only given here to those on the latest version.

You'll have to upgrade. You'll be glad you did in the long run, why make life hard on yourself? :)
