Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[hairydog]

Unfortunately I did not know or understand the template system so I modified all the core files.

Ah, someone who doesn't read the instructions! Too much in a rush to do the job the quick and easy way.

This is not the place to discuss this, but there is a simple way to sort this out. Identify all the core files you modified (hopefully by comparing file times, or by winmerge comparisons) and make them your override files by copying them to the relevant template folder. Then restore the original core files a few at a time to make sure it still works. What that's done, you're good to go with an upgrade. Do it this week. Really.

... I didn't even know there were instructions let alone a forum. I was just handed it, shown the FTP and figured the rest. I have learnt alot since those first days and lemme tell you I WILL be following the intructions when it comes to the upgrade. Unless of course by some miracle I actually make some money and can pay someone else to get it all right for me :)

In the meantime... I'm stuck at an impass on my main problem. Anyone got any ideas how to fix? Please... I can get my site working by using the original html_output but I'm worrried that it may be messing things up if I add products and categories with teh rest of the CEON module installed and not functioning.

Any help would be appreciated... Thanks.

The truth is I'm afraid you are not going to get much help from the community as you are running this module on such an old unsupported version of Zen Cart. I have no specifics to offer since in order to help you, I would have to create a v1.3.8 site and try to replicate your issue.. I'm afraid that my schedule precludes me being able to do that..

All I can offer is the advice that most usage issues have at their heart an errant installation.. That's not to say that there couldn't be a bug, but again, since Conor is no longer with us, IF there is a bug (and I am fairly confident that this is probably NOT a bug) there is no one to fix it..

Wish I could be of more help..

hi guys, just found this in my error log this evening, not sure if its anything to be concerned about? its the first and only one i've had. any idea what it could be?

[09-Apr-2013 21:26:39 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function add() on a non-object in /home/site/public_html/includes/classes/class.CeonURIMappingHandlerBase.php on line 131

Thanks in advance.

I have an update on this if anyone else comes across it, this particular problem was self made. I had simply copied the code from the includes/functions/html_output.php and incorrectly put that into the admin/includes.. etc. Using eth correct modified code has removed this error.

Unfortunately I till have the original problem of no category cration and meta's not working

Glad you have some of this resolved.. However, like I started out with in my first response to you..

most install issues can be traced directly back to an incorrect install..

My answer remains the same.. I am pretty positive you still don't have this fully installed correctly..

That said.. I will repeat the other part of my initial response to you because I think your problem can ALL be traced back to something with this module not being installed as it should.... Would suggest that a review of the readme doc will help you in this endeavor..

I strongly suggest starting with making sure all the core module files are in place, and then using a file comparison program review VERY carefully each one of the core override files to make sure that you have all the Ceon URI code in place and in the correct places.. Unfortunately my time is short so I cannot troll though all the files from a 6 year old version of Zen Cart to find the ones that might affect meta tags.. but offhand it's probably any of the admin side product or category files..

RESOLVED:

As far as I can tell I this is resolved, I can now create cartegories and modify my meta's once more. Whether the CEON module is working correctly I can't tell fully as I do not know everyting the module does behind the scenes.

Process of solution:

I took the advice given regarding the use of file comparison software. I checked the html_output file that I knew was working before the module, I checked it against the modified version supplied and found one critical piece of information. The header section was different stating the security patch that had been installed, it then changed a few lines further down in the code. Very subtle differences however I got to thinking that maybe the security update was the culprit, especially if the 1.3.8a mod was before the patch came out. I then compared the html_output of the patched file with that of 1.3.9c and lo and behold they were the same bar the header description. From this I deduced that the html_output file I would need would be the modfied 1.3.9c listed in the module.

So the solution is, if you are using 1.3.8a with the latest security patch you need to use the modified ceon 1.3.9c file.

I doubt this will help many others as you've all said not many are using 1.3.8a anymore, but mayeb it will provide helpful for the process of elimination to cure someone elses related problems. :)

All the module files regardless of version are all based on a VANILLA Zen Cart installation..

Not really a CEON URI issue as much as it is that you need help merging the files these two add-ons have in common.. (sounds like the merging was not done correctly) I can't offer much help in that regard as I don't use the Facebook add-on you are using.. Hopefully someone using both mods can lend a hand.. You might try posting this on the support thread for your Facebook add-on..

Thanks for the fast reply and i have not had a response from the other guys, i guess i will try continue my merging again, all i know is that the update_produce is the only file that modified on both sides of the add-ons
