Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[countrycharm]

It's simply support the custom product type of "book".. This is not a default Zen Cart product type.. It's a custom product type for books (similar to the built in features for music which is a custom product type that does come with Zen Cart) In the case of books I believe there is an add-on or instructions on the forum for creating this custom product type..

Thanks for the explanation. I understand whats going on now.....lol

Hi,

Firstly many thanks for this amazing module, it works brilliantly!

I wonder if you can help me with a problem I having. I have just installed Fast and Easy Checkout with AJAX and one of the instructions for install is:

4.If using a SEO URLs module, add "checkout_payment", "quick_checkout", and "fec_confirmation" to the exempt list. In other words, do not rewrite the URLs for these pages.

Can anyone show be how I make sure these urls aren't rewritten. I understand that I will need to add them to my .htacess file but am unsure how.

This is my .htaccess file:

## BEGIN CEON URI MAPPING REWRITE RULE

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^blog(.*)$ /index.php?main_page=blog&$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-z]{2,5}$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite any URIs for some, popular specific file format extensions,
# which are not covered by main file extension condition above
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(mp3|mp4|h264)$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite any URIs for some specific file format extensions,
# which are not covered by main file extension condition above
# Uncomment the following line to apply this condition! (Remove the # at the start of the next line)
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(3gp|3g2|h261|h263|mj2|mjp2|mp4v|mpg4|m1v|m2v|m4u|f4v|m4v|3dml)$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/olcs_admin [NC]
# Don't rewrite editors directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/editors/ [NC]
# Don't rewrite bmz_cache directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/bmz_cache/ [NC]
# Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (its index.php)
RewriteRule .* index.php [QSA,L]

## END CEON URI MAPPING REWRITE RULE

Any help anyone can give me would be much appreciated!

Glad you like it. :)

The people who write that software don't really appear to keep up to date with things so I wouldn't necessarily go by anything they say.

I know lots of stores use Ceon URI Mapping fine with FEC so you most likely don't have to do anything.

In fact, in the past few months there hasn't been a single report of a clash between Ceon URI Mapping and another module (That can cope with static URIs) that I know of, which is great, that was one of the main things I tried to avoid with the 4.x rewrite.

Hope that puts your mind at rest.. if it works, it works! :)

All the best..

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?

Hi,

The new sitemap/sitemapezpages.xml is in dynamic format.

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!

For any page that is an EZPage and is pointing to an internal link URL:

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.
