Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[DivaVocals]

I wasn't looking for help with file merging I was trying to figure out what file I needed to reload into my site. I backtracked and got the problem solved. Thank you all for your help. Have a great week.

Right.. but re-read my post.. I was simply suggesting a tool to use the next time you install a module which overwrites files modified by this one.. tis all..

I apologize...I do understand and i actually have WinMerge on my system. Will try to use that in the future. Thanks so much again for all your help. :)

I've completed the installation and ran into a problem. I've been searching this thread in particular for my issue but can`t ' seem to find one that fits.

version is 1.5.1

I haven`t installed anything other yet but for a Template but so far, none of the files from this mod had to do with the Template

I got to step 5 like many others... and the Configuration Check worked perfectly. No mistakes or missteps apparently.

The Installation Check however doesn`t work for me at all. When I click the link, I get a blank page.

When I go to the store side of things, I can see that the links were being created but can`t access the pages as I get 404

When I go to the admin side to my categories/products, I can see that the auto_generated part of things isn`t really working. So I'm guessing I missed something but can't figure out what at this point.

Any thoughts on what I might have done wrong?

going over everything again to try and figure this out... step 4 has me a bit stumped

If a file doesn't exist in the overrides directory, simply copy the pre-modified sample file from this distribution, for the version of Zen Cart being used by the store, into the overrides folder.
includes/auto_loaders/config.canonical.php (Zen Cart 1.3.0 - 1.3.8)
includes/functions/html_output.php (Zen Cart 1.3.0 - 1.5.0)
includes/init_includes/overrides/init_add_crumbs.php (Zen Cart 1.3.5 - 1.5.0)
includes/init_includes/overrides/init_canonical.php (Zen Cart 1.3.0 - 1.5.0)
includes/init_includes/overrides/init_currencies.php (Zen Cart 1.3.0 - 1.5.0)
includes/init_includes/overrides/init_sessions.php (Zen Cart 1.3.9/1.5.0)

I didn`t do anything for the config_canonical file since there wasn't one in the 1.5.1 folder

For the files in the includes/init_includes/overrides/ folder, I understood the instructions to mean that if those files weren't in the overrides folder for me, I was to copy the files included in the mod and copy them in my includes/init_includes/overrides/ folder and I didn`t do anything to the files that were in the includes/init_includes/ by the same name... is this where I got it wrong? Sorry, English isn`t my first language and this part of the phrase is confusing me "simply copy the pre-modified sample file from this distribution, for the version of Zen Cart being used by the store, into the overrides folder."

I've officially redone everything again. Double checked and still the same result. I can't get the Installation Check to work at all and the page remains blank so I can`t find a clue to what I'm doing wrong. I've checked the logs just in case and nothing shows there either. I'm using Firefox with Firebug and HTML Validator and nothing shows up there.

on the admin side, I see that the urls are getting created properly but on the shop side, everything that has a url mapped link gets a 404 page not found... anything else that I didn`t get mapped is still working.

however, when on IE, my customized 404 page doesn`t come up... I get an IE Oops! This link appears to be broken, although the customized page is what I get in Firefox. I don't know if this is related or not.

Have you enabled it under configuration-Ceon... in your admin??

sorry, I should have mentioned it... but yes, first thing I did. I actually turned it off and on again... emptied cache because of another website I have that I have to do that on it for it to reset.

and I hope this isn`t a dumb question, but is it normal that the http:// part is being stripped in the mapping?

Did you roll all the files and database back to a "known good" state before re-installing? If not some broken leftovers from a previous installation / installation attempt may be present...

You may also want to also check the server error logs (you may need to enable the error logs in your php.ini or contact your hosting provider). A blank page after installation w/ nothing in the Zen Cart debug logs indicates something is causing an issue before Zen Cart has loaded the code to generate debug logs. The most common cause is something missed or a mistake made during installation (often placing a file in the wrong location - which may now need to be removed). The contents of the server error log will be beneficial in narrowing down the solution.

Could indicate something is not right with any modifications which have been made to the .htaccess file. Try temporarily removing any modifications you have made to the .htaccess file. Then address the blank page issues in the Zen Cart admin. Once working, you can regenerate and install a new .htaccess file. Second to last step: test, test, test. Last step: make a new "known good" backup of the files and database.

error logs are on on my Cpanel... what I get is this...

[ File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/404.shtml
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/store/cours
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/404.shtml, referer: http://site.com/store/
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/store/category, referer: http://site.com/store/
File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/store/category, referer: http://site.com/store/

how do I enable error logs in php.ini?

yes i had dumped the whole database and reloaded a known good one... the files, well the new ones I left there and just re wrote the modified ones. I get confused with the Template ones because none of them were in my STORE TEMPLATE folder... they were all in the regular folders... at first I tried just putting them in the override folder there... then created them in the store Template one... but I've tried so many combinations by now that I' m unsure...

so while I do this all over again, meaning, I dropped the database again and this time I'm dumping the as well, can you clarify...

the tpl files if they didn`t exist to begin with in my STORE TEMPLATE folder, should I copy the original ones from the store to the Template folder first and then copy the ones from the mod to the overrides folder... or just leave everything as is and put the files in the overrides folder of the store folder?

[marieAA]

another thing that doesn`t appear to be as it should...

there are 4 files in the folder Under modified_core_files/1.5.1/includes/init_includes/overrides/, however I don`t have those 4 files in overrides... so they would be new files for me, normal?

cause in the instructions, it's phrased like this:

If a file doesn't exist in the overrides directory, simply copy the pre-modified sample file from this distribution, for the version of Zen Cart being used by the store, into the overrides folder.

the copy the pre modified files for the version used by the store into the overrides folder for meant that I was to copy these for files right into the overrides folder... but the for the version part gets me confused... I thought that to mean that I don`t touch the files used by the store and I put the new ones in the overrides folder... did I get that right? (sorry, most likely a comprehension of language issue)
