Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[conor]

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know when I tried to unsubscribe from your email list subscription from your website I got this both times:

Why are you posting here? This isn't the place for issues with the Ceon website! :)

There is no unsubscription page on the Ceon site... because we never actually implemented any newsletter software so there's never been anything to actually unsubscribe from, lol. We've never sent a newsletter (which is silly, I admit).

If you could please get in contact in a more normal way (i.e. directly through the Ceon website) then I can remove you from the list.. that may indeed one day, if I ever get these latest Zen Cart releases out and get on to actual work, like finishing building the newsletter system, get used! ;)

All the best..

Hi,



Ceon URI Mapping isn't used on the search results pages unless you manually add a mapping for the search results main_page type so it's not the cause..

Hopefully if you post a new thread someone can help you.

I'm sure a manual debug would have the problem identified... use the HTTP_Headers extension for Firefox to see what URIs are being redirected between and if all else fails, add some code to actually record to a file, so you can trace what's happening.

Good luck in getting it sorted!

All the best..

Thanks very much for your input!

I won't be sure what I'm doing but I'll give the debug a shot.
I'm just happy to know Ceon isn't the problem.

Hi,

Just installed this module on 1.5.0 and everything seems to work fine. The installation/configuration check is extremely helpful.
Just wondering though, we have already added quite a lot of categories and products, do we have to go through and update each one for the mappings to be created or will it be created automatically?

Thank you for this awesome module!!!

Best Regards

Questions above answered, my fault for not reading the FAQs section.

Hi,

It gives me great pleasure to finally release the latest update for Ceon URI Mapping.

4.0.8 was submitted to the downloads area yesterday and is available for download now directly from Ceon.


From the Revision History:

[ADDED] The Installation Check now analyses the server's environment variables, to try and determine the type of server being used, so that the instructions for adding the example rewrite rule are relevant to the server on which the software is being used. Servers currently supported for analysis are Apache, IIS with URL Rewrite and IIS with ISAPI_Rewrite.

[UPDATED] The setting for automatically generating and adding URIs for Tell-A-Friend pages is now set to off on new installations of Ceon URI Mapping as this functionality has been removed from Zen Cart 1.5.x. It is still fine to be used on both Zen Cart 1.3.x and Zen Cart 1.5.x but will have no useful benefit on 1.5.x, just taking up space in the database unnecessarily.

[UPDATED] Check for valid value of PHP_SELF environment variable updated to cope with stores using the ‘.php’ extension in URIs.

[BUGFIX] Example Rewrite Rule generator in Installation Check updated to cope with directories that have strange characters, such as spaces, in their names. The invalid rewrite conditions previously generated would cause a server error, taking down the site altogether.

[BUGFIX] Config Utility and Installation Check updated so their HTML output is fully valid.

[UPDATED] Installation instructions updated with information about integration with latest version of Sitemap XML (formerly “Google Sitemaps”) module.


As with all 4.x versions, ugrading takes just a few minutes so is recommended.

As can be seen though, most changes only affect those installing the software for the first time, making it even easier (and more reliable in the case of the first bugfix!).

Enjoy!

All the best...

Let me start off by thanking you for a great mod! Everything installed perfectly and the installation check was a success. I've read through all of the FAQ and this thread very well. Yet, I did not find anything that addressed my particular issue.

When I create a new EZ-page for use as an internal header/footer link to and existing page such as "shippinginfo" or "contact_us", it does not show a canonical URL. I've tried letting the mod automatically create the URL and also inputting it manually.

Did I miss something?

You will have to manually add them to your database. Read the DOCS for more information on how to do this.

I remember having some difficulty with this when I was setting up.

Do what countrycharm said and then add the 'Internal Link URL:' in your ez-page to point to the database created url & leave the 'URI mapping' blank.

I'm pretty sure that's what worked for me

Thank you countrycharm & simon1066. It took a little trickery, but all is working now...and the documentation was right now! I found what I had missed

I have store running on v1.5.0. I also have a "test" store that I use for testing new applications etc. The files for the test store reside in a subfolder of the live store. It also uses a totally seperate MySQL database. When I installed URI mapping, it wants to map all of the products in the live store to the test store (i.e. all of the static URI's begin with /test/, rather than mapping from the root directory.

I have now deleted the test store for the site, but I cannot seem to figure out how to get URI Mapping to reconfigure to use the live store locations.
