Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[Serious]

Since i installed this mod I'm seeing following multiple times throughout the day.

Session ID:
Host: 69.171.237.14
User Agent: facebookexternalhit/1.0 (+http://www.facebook.com/externalhit_uatext.php)
/Soft-Tops/Smittybilt/META_TAG_IMG

It's not just this 1 product, it's practically every one my site.

WTH is meta_Tag_Img?
When I click on the URL it takes me here:
http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...t/META_TAG_IMG

Hi,
I have uri mapping but not sure how I change the ezpages and the home page. Before I changed the uri for products, I would paste the m on face book but it wouldn't work. Now they do so I need to check that the ezpages can be changed and if there is something that can be done with the home page so that it shows up/

Thanks

Hello there, me again :)

i got a problem with ?cPath=

when i add a new product by hand i always get a proper url mydomain.com/category/product
but most of my products are imported from my suplier's database and his categories in imported file are different than mine.
after an import i move all products to my categories.
when moving i get an info from ceon module that new url was created : mydomain.com/category/product but when i check from index page clicking category then product i always get mydomain.com/category/product?cPath=number with the number of the master category, it's undersood and aceptable for me.
but when i choose some of these product to be Featured Products and appear on an index page all links shows without ?cPath=number, just simply mydomain.com/category/product
so right now same product page in my store has two different urls - is it normal or i'm doing something wrong?
also how can i cut ?cPath from prodcuts which are not newely created but transfered to different category?

thanks for your support

Hi,

When I go to your site, the following URI doesn't exist:

http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...ps/Smittybilt/

This one does though:

http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...nt-System-CRES

The first URI above is still dynamic, using:

http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...Path=1388_1675

So you haven't generated the URI for the subcategory Smittybilt of the category Soft Tops.

In this example, that means no URIs that directly come off /Soft-Tops/Smittybilt/ exist until /Soft-Tops/Smittybilt/Cargo-Restraint-System-CRES ...

So that should be fixed by generating the "inbetween" URI that is missing.

Now, that may not be anything to do with this other issue of META_TAG_IMG - I have no idea what META_TAG_IMG is, it must be a define used by a mod on your site which is failing to populate it with a useful value.

All of your pages seem to have it in the header:

<meta property="og:image" content="META_TAG_IMG">

Given the context you posted, it looks like it may be something related to Facebook?

I've never used Facebook, nevermind any modules for it for Zen Cart, or simply any integration software for it for a website, but it could be something to do with a "like" module or something you may have installed?

If it is some sort of Zen Cart module, it may simply require a tweak to work with static URIs.. or it could just be the "missing" static URIs on the site "flagging" a problem that was always there but never noticed before.

That's all I can really say at the minute..

Hope that information is of use to you!

All the best...

Hi,

when i add a new product by hand i always get a proper url mydomain.com/category/product
but most of my products are imported from my suplier's database and his categories in imported file are different than mine.

That's not a great idea IMO. If it's a regular (standardised) thing I'd simply reprogram the import software to put the products straight into the appropriate categories.. i.e. remap the IDs when importing.. can't be too hard to do.

after an import i move all products to my categories.

Then you have changed the "context" of where the products are. They are no longer in their main categories, but in "linked" categories.

As such, Ceon URI Mapping is smart enough to see this and the cPath is used to maintain the user's "context" on the site.

when moving i get an info from ceon module that new url was created : mydomain.com/category/product but when i check from index page clicking category then product i always get mydomain.com/category/product?cPath=number with the number of the master category, it's undersood and aceptable for me.

Oh, okay. I'd rather not have cPath if I didn't have to, which you don't appear to have to really, the reason for the "linked" usage being more of a technical issue in what you've described above.

but when i choose some of these product to be Featured Products and appear on an index page all links shows without ?cPath=number, just simply mydomain.com/category/product
so right now same product page in my store has two different urls - is it normal or i'm doing something wrong?

No, you see two different ones as the cPath is used to maintain context in a linked category, but when a product is shown anywhere else on the site the cPath isn't needed as the product isn't in a category, it's independent of the current address.

This isn't a problem as Ceon URI Mapping has full canonical support built in.. search engines see all variations of a product's URI - with however many different cPath values - as the same URI.. check a product's info page and you'll see the "canonical" tag which is all the search engines care about.. they ignore all the additional query string parameters, like cPath.

Handy this module is sometimes :)

Hope that sets your mind at rest!

I'd still adjust your import methodology if I was you though.. simply to make things "look" better. Why not, if it can be automated? :)

All the best..

Hmmmmm.
I suppose I missed an important step somewhere then.

I just ran The Mapping Manager and these are the results:

Generated Category URI Mappings

Num Category Mappings Generated: 0

Num Category Mappings Unchanged: 288
Generated Product URI Mappings

Num Product Mappings Generated: 0

Num Product Mappings Unchanged: 4425

Num Product Mappings Failed: 239

I clicked on the Categories/Products URI Tab, then on the Create/Manage URI's on the right side of the page for Categories/Products URI Mappings. Shouldn't this map everything in the categories and all of the associated Sub-Cat's and their products?

Hi Conor

I'm getting a headache....

Here's what I'm doing/seeing:
admin>modules>Ceon URI Mappings Manager>Create/manage URI's
in the box labeled "Manage Category/Product URIs", I click on the Create/Manage URIs button


On the following page, under products in Main Site Categories Iclick on the hyperlink (Click here to manage/auto-generate the URIs for the products in this category.)

This is what I see:

Product Mappings
Auto-generate Mappings

Selected products
Include disabled products
Products in category “”

Mapping template for the products within this category:

English/{dir-ws-catalog}/{category-path}/{manufacturer-name}/{product-name}

Category ""
What the heck is ""?!?!
It has 72 products in it, but when I go to admin>catalog>categories/properties, no such category exists.

Who's got my bottle of Asprin?

Hi,

I'm getting a headache....

Almost certainly a database corruption by software like Easy Populate (a common occurrence). This is the wrong place to discuss this tho.. I'm going to contact you privately, please don't reply here.

IWho's got my bottle of Asprin?

Morphine derivatives are more useful. :)

All the best...
