Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[RedSpinnaker]

Hi,

Using SitemapXML v.2 to generate EZ-pages sitemap with Ceon URI Mapping 4.2.0

In Zencart v1.3.9h we can generate static URI's for products, categories and EZ-pages under Ceon URI Mapping 4.2.0 no problem.

But something puzzling happens using SitemapXML v.2.

When we then go to >Tools > Sitemap XML the resulting products (sitemap/sitemapproducts.xml) and categories (sitemap/sitemapcategories.xml) pages remain in static form as we would expect, but the new sitemap/sitemapezpages.xml is in dynamic format.

Any comments / ideas please?

Must be a problem with that module. Ceon URI Mapping will output the static URI for any code that uses zen_href_link(). It has no concept of what module is using it via that function.

Best ask your question on the thread for this other module.

Sorry I can't be more help than that but at least you know the issue isn't with Ceon URI Mapping.

All the best..

Using V1.3.9h
Installed latest version of Ceon URI (umm) and the purchased Manager.
All links have been re-written correctly, BUT need to ask if this is right or I have done something wrong?

For any page that is an EZPage and is pointing to an internal link URL:
On the store front if I mouse over a page in links (eg: Shipping & Returns) it shows as https://mysite.com/index.php?main_page=shippinginfo
even though the URL has been re-written to: https://mysite.com/shipping-returns

Now the only way I can get it to show as https://mysite.com/shipping-returns when you MOUSE over it - is to actually go in and EDIT the EZPage and change the internal link to : https://mysite.com/shipping-returns

Does this seem correct that I have to do this for every EZPage that has an internal page link? Or have I missed something?

Many Thanks
PS: Fantastic Modules

Hi,

Glad you like the software and that it's useful for your site!

I think I'll be making this a FAQ. :)

Internal links are a hack that the dynamic-URI Zen Cart uses. Once you have a site with static URIs, internal EZ-Page links shouldn't be used. Instead you should simply use the actual URIs, preferably via a call to zen_href_link() in the template(s) in which you'd otherwise have been using these EZ-Page links.

I'll get more info about this into a FAQ as I said, in the meantime feel free to contact me privately, I'm afraid support for the manager software can't be offered here.

All the best..

I think though that folks still use these to add internal links to the EZ Pages header and footer menus as well as the EZ Pages sidebox.. While it's true one could simply edit the EZ Pages, header and Footer menus and the sidebox to add these internal links, but many will not know how to make the change this way..

I realise that but it results in double redirects and the issue described above.
