Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[devlin]

Hi, I am using ZC v1.3.9h and barebones template.
I have read the faq but do not see anything that matches my problem. (or I missed it)

I installed CEON uri mapping yesterday following all instructions and since then received 2 errors and 192 warnings on Googles webmaster tools. (Which is basically a warning on every product page).

The issue is
Url blocked by robots.txt ( my robots.txt is set to Allow: / till I get everything set up) so I wondered if I missed somethin in the configuration.

Error message example is
URL restricted by robots.txt
Sitemap: /sitemapezpages.xml

Warning message example is
Sitemap: /sitemapproducts.xml
Value: http://www.mywebsite.com/index.php?m...roducts_id=180

What I have done so far:
Because uri mapping only works on new inputs, I manually added uri mapping on categories and sub-categories. I have not done the products yet. I also unticked the box to have the URI auto-generated for this category. Should they be ticked?

This morning, I turned uri mapping off till I can get the problem resolved.

Hi,

Sorry but your problems are nothing to so with Ceon URI Mapping itself but something to do with Google Webmaster Tools or your sitemap or your robots.txt file.

I don't use Google Webmaster Tools so I'm afraid I can't help you.

If no-one else can help you here, it might be worthwhile posting in a more appropriate thread, like the Google Sitemaps thread or something?

At least you know the problem's not Ceon URI Mapping, but the use of static URIs on your site, given how your site is set up.

Hopefully that information helps you to find and fix the problem.

I have not done the products yet. I also unticked the box to have the URI auto-generated for this category. Should they be ticked?

If you tick it then a URI will be automatically generated, if you don't then you have to enter one yourself. Either method is a perfectly fine way to work.

Have a nice weekend!

All the best...

Thanks for replying Conor,
it could well be the sitemaps are causing a problem and manifested itself when I installed uri mapping. I hope I did not sound disparaging. I will investigate the site maps as well.

Could you expand on this a bit. It might help me know what I'm looking for.

Thanks.

The truth is I don't know.. check out the site maps and anything else which affects the reports you are getting back from this Google Webmaster Tools thing.

Obviously the URIs on your site work with Ceon URI Mapping installed, but you are getting reports from a 3rd party tool (GWT) that appears to be having problems with site maps or robots.txt.. so I'd imagine that's what you need to fix, not Ceon URI Mapping. Try finding a problem with the sitemaps or delete your robots.txt file and see what happens.

All the best...

Sorry to have to ask...I'm guessing this info is out here somewhere but I'm just not finding it.

CEON is installed (1.5 shop) and working fine for product pages, question is how do you update to friendly URL for pages like "all products" and "new products".

How to create friendly URL's for other pages is outlined in the very well-written readme document that comes with Ceon URI Mapping..

The information you want is in the configuration section of the documentation, in the sub-section "Specifying the current URI Mapping for any other Zen Cart page".

All the best..
