Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[Dan123]

Sorry to bother you so much, but I just found another problem.
In my site I have 2 languages and when I swith from one to another in the category with the new urls it does not go through. it shows the link for that language and also adds ?sort=20a&language=en trying to change the language how it used to be with the old urls
Ex:
http://www.mysite.com/viechierniie-platia
and when I switch to eng it gives my this url
http://www.mysite.com/viechierniie-p...0a&language=en
instead of
http://www.mysite.com/evenning-dresses
Do you know how to fix that??
Thanks again, I appreciate your help!!!

is it because of languages files in admin folder, do I need to upload them for each language too?

Hi,

Sorry to bother you so much, but I just found another problem.

To be honest, what you've said isn't really a "problem". You'll notice that all the links on the page use the URI Mappings for the new language, it is only the URI displayed in the address bar that still has the old language's URI.

I can add code to redirect the user to the equivalent URI to the current URI but for the new language.

Or code could be added to the html_output zen_href_link function to look up the language ID for any link which attempts to change the language (i.e. the language sidebox) and then check to see if the link has an equivalent in this new language ID. That would add several database calls though.

Both of these are really overkill to me at this time.. it's such a minor thing, just one simple link, and I don't think search engines will care about a link on a site to change languages. So I've marked the code with a todo but I have no plans to make these changes I'm afraid. You never know I may do in the future, I think it's fairly unlikely though! :)

// @TODO Record current language ID in case language is being changed. This could then
// be used later to redirect to the current URI for the new language.

So my advice is to just ignore this issue! :)

All the best...

It would be fine if it went through, what really bothers me is a broken link. It does not go from a category in russian to the same category in english. but for some reason it works for the product

Never Mind!! Finally it works now
Thanks Again for your great add on and your help!!!

To recap my issue my staging area for a website was redirected to my in-house web server from the production server by adding an A Name to the DNS zone and pointing to the home servers IP. ie. demo.domain.com.

Hi,
Try adding a slash before index.php in the rewrite rule

Subdomains make no difference whatsoever as to how the module works... everything before the initial slash is irrelevant! So I think this is just a server configuration problem on your end (like using a htaccess rewrite rule in a virtualhost directive, which the above tip should fix).

The following changes were made to get this module to work if your domain is being initially redirected from another server.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(index.php|admin|editors) [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/(cpanel|frontend) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php [L]

I can't seem to get this mod to work. Granted I'm somewhat inept when it comes to things other than CSS/HTML.

I went into one my current products and told it to auto generate the uri..however when I navigate to said product in the store frontend, I get a 404 NOT FOUND

This is the EASIEST of the SEO mods to install and configure., and to be honest you really haven't provided enough information here.. "It's broken" doesn't give much to go on.. Did you follow all the right steps for setting up your .htaccess file?? Links to your site would help..

Hi Coner,

Great mod, simple to install and simple to use. I found the instructions easy to follow and told me what I needed to know. I have now got some lovely looking links. Many thanks

I thought I would share something in case someone does as I did. When I installed the mod I was able to use the products edit page to and see at the bottom the lines for your mod. I didn't see this info in my categories or ez-pages. After reading most of this thread and not seeing the problem listed I thought I would go over it step by step. At this point I realised that I had not uploaded the files from \modified_core_files\1.3.8a\admin\ - I had only missed these 4 files and once uploaded everything was perfect.

Many thanks for this mod

Kind regards
Natty

Not sure if this question has been posted before so I apologize in advance.

Whenever I clear my cookies I get "?zenid=xxxxxxxxxxxx" appended to all my links. As soon as I click on anything it no longer does that. I'm worried that this will have a bad effect on google since google will index the ?zenid=xxxxxx links

Is there a way to fix this?

thank you
