Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[conor]

Hi,

Only the product html editors don't work now. Such as adding a hyper-link to description.
They open a page not found. I'll check the faq now...

Oh, wait, I think I read this wrong.. I thought you said the product admin pages didn't work.. is it just the editor?

If so then you need to make sure you have the correct exclusions for the admin/ and editors/ directory in your rewrite rule conditions.. use the example rewrite rule from the software's installation check. If you are using a custom editor then you need to adjust the conditions appropriately.

All the best..

Thank you Conor. Yes, was just the editor.
My host shifted my site up a level and the rewrite rules are now working (other of my sites involved....long story not needed), meaning I can use the module.
It's superb!
May I just ask, for products where I've added little images with links, using the html editor (not the standard product images)... Will they still link to the newly rewritten product? I've done a test, which still works but need to make sure as I have thousands and didn't want to find it was just the cache keeping it working.
Again thanks for following up with the help to get it going before.

Glad you've got things sorted and that you like it. ;)

The old links will still work but as they're links entered in HTML, not generated by the zen_href_link() function, they'll link to the dynamic URI for the product and then when clicked upon, the user will be redirected to the "current" static URI.. which is fine, but ideally you want to have links go to the static URI without a redirection.. saves server resources.

So when creating new links, from now on use the static URI.

All the best..

Very good thank you for that.

How important is the

admin/includes/functions/general.php

file for this mod to work??

Every time I install this mod on a site, about 4 times now, I get a blank admin login page.
I can only make it work with the standard 1.3.9h general.php file.

I checked the difference between the 2 and there were 2 major areas of change, one is this below, which seems to relate to admin?

/*
function zen_draw_admin_box($zf_header, $zf_content) {
$zp_boxes = '<li class="submenu"><a target="_top" href="' . $zf_header['link'] . '">' . $zf_header['text'] . '</a>';
$zp_boxes .= '<UL>' . "\n";
for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($zf_content); $i++) {
$zp_boxes .= '<li>';
$zp_boxes .= '<a href="' . $zf_content[$i]['link'] . '">' . $zf_content[$i]['text'] . '</a>';
$zp_boxes .= '</li>' . "\n";
}
$zp_boxes .= '</UL>' . "\n";
$zp_boxes .= '</li>' . "\n";
return $zp_boxes;
}
*/

Hi,

That's not a change made by Ceon URI Mapping. It's not a change that I've seen in a Zen Cart version of that file either.. it must be another third party module you are using made that change.

Use software such as Beyond Compare to merge the version of the file you have with the version of the file provided with Ceon URI Mapping.

If you still get a blank page, install Ceon URI Mapping from scratch and check the values in your configure.php files (admin and store).. Ceon URI Mapping attempts to load files from the catalog side from the admin functions file:

require_once(DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'class.CeonURIMappingAdmin.php'); 

So if that file is missing (or any others it opens), maybe because you are using "bad" FTP software, or your DIR_FS_CATALOG setting is wrong in the admin configure.php file you'll get a blank page and an debug error file in your cache folder - something you clearly haven't checked for! :|

That's all the information you need.. better luck installing things this time!

All the best...

Hi Conor,

I've installed version 4.0.8 on zencart 1.39h. Everything seems to be working fine, except I'm finding some debug logs in cache folder like this:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function buildArrayQueryParameter() in /home/public_html/includes/classes/class.CeonURIMappingHandlerBase.php on line 663 

I checked this file and the function buildArrayQueryParameter() is there starting on line 690.
I'm getting this error every time I list a new product. The new url's work as they should, just don't know how to stop this error from being generated.
Do you know what's causing this or how to fix it?

Many thanks, John.

Hi John,

Do you know what's causing this or how to fix it?

Oh dear! How did this go unnoticed for so long!

That's a bug, it'll be fixed in v5 but for the meantime change line 663 from

$query_string .= buildArrayQueryParameter($key, $value); 

to

$query_string .= $this->_buildArrayQueryParameter($key, $value); 

and line 698 from

$parameter_string .= buildArrayQueryParameter($key, $subvalue); 

to

$parameter_string .= $this->_buildArrayQueryParameter($key, $subvalue); 

Wow, surprised no-one else noticed this one, very few people have obviously got a customised product info page that uses an array!

All the best,..

Hi Conor I hope you are doing a wee bit better these days.
I didn't catch the bug because I haven't upgraded to v4.0.8 yet I'm still on v4.0.7. If I wait until version 5 will everything be OK or should I upgrade to the latest?

Hi Randy,

Hope you're having a nice weekend.

Hi Conor I hope you are doing a wee bit better these days.

Thanks, lol, no, not at all, pretty much the opposite, but here's not really the place to discuss those sorts of things, let's get the ZC stuff sorted though! ;)

I didn't catch the bug because I haven't upgraded to v4.0.8 yet I'm still on v4.0.7. If I wait until version 5 will everything be OK or should I upgrade to the latest?

Since you haven't experienced the problem yet it won't ever affect you, but since upgrading to the latest version is a 1 minute job these days I'd always say use the latest version.. you can of course wait for v5 if it suits, as there's not a lot changed from 4.0.7 to 4.0.8 that would affect you.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Back to getting this variants software running for me, after which I can finalise and get URI Mapping v5 out!

All the best...
