Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[alan145]

Hi Alan,



I'm not quite sure what you mean by "upload" from existing pictures on hosting.. do you mean you can select pictures (files) on your server in some sort of online editor?



I'm afraid you haven't told me remotely enough to have any idea what is happening! For example: How do you upload pictures? To what? Are you talking about uploading product images in the admin or images through a WYSIWYG editor or something?

All the best...

Hello Conor,
at fist, I have add some produts from admin of web, then I remove the ultimate SEO and installed Ceon URI Mapping, so when I set the URI Mapping, I select the produt pictures on the hosting, (it is uptating of the products)
But I found when I add new products, from zen cart web admin-catalog-categoties/products, it can't display the products pictures, What's the problem of it, you can see the attached pictures.
Hope you can understand what I say.
Regards,
Alan

Hi Alan,

I would check that you have working versions of

admin/includes/modules/update_product.php

and the likes of

admin/includes/modules/product/collect_info.php
admin/includes/modules/product/preview_info.php

uploaded.. if you have done something wrong in merging/adding those files then the uploaded image may not be getting saved correctly (it is handled by the three files above, as is the URI mapping).

Hope that helps!

All the best...

Hello Conor,
it seems that I don't change this files when i installed Ceon URI Mapping, but How this problem happen?
Ialso installed image handler modul etc. I am thinking if the moduls are fighting?

I use IH2 just fine with this mod.. What you should do is to make sure that you use a tool like Winmerge to compare any files in the IH2 install files that may be overwritten when you install this mod..

When you are copying the files from the modified_core_files folder you should always check that you haven't already got modified files uploaded. You should also be careful that you don't upload the same files from another module over the ones already uploaded for Ceon URI Mapping.

As DivaVocals helpfully says, you should use a Diff program like Winmerge (or even better, Beyond Compare) to compare the files and "merge" any differences which are required for another module to work.

All the best...

Hi Eamon,

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

It turns out it was these two lines which were causing the 404s. When I tested this on our test server I naturally changed the "example.com" to the test server's address and had assumed that you had done the same for your actual site's address - changing "example.com" to "startupwizard.ie". However, your .htaccess file was still using "example.com". This is what was causing the 404 errors.

It is all working now that I've changed example.com to startupwizard.ie.

All the best...

If finding the cause of the above problem isn't easy, the simplest and best solution would be to buy a SSL certificate.

I'd recommend that anyway as having "handpickedgifts.co.uk" at the start of every URI is ugly... with you using a shared SSL certificate you'd probably have to retain that at the start of every static URI, otherwise the certificate may not work correctly (I'm not sure if that's the case, but thought it worth mentioning).

All the best..

Hello Conor,

Thanks for the speedy reply! I've been thinking about this today and also coming to the conclusion the shared certificate is the most likely culprit.

I agree about the secure URIs being ugly but had been prepared to accept that for now, whilst we work on marketing the site. However, a quick check with my hosting company shows that a dedicated IP and certificate is much less than I had thought, so I think that will be the path of least aggravation.

I just need to present a convincing argument to the board (my wife! )

Hi Dave,

SSL certificates can be purchased for as little as $10/$11.. here's a link to the company we get ours from:

http://www.namecheap.com/learn/other...e-rapidssl.asp

Really shouldn't be too hard to convince the board to get that one! :)

Although being related to the board may indeed make that more difficult so good luck! ;)

I'd get the certificate from the above company, the IP address you'll have to get from your host. Overall these days it's really not at all expensive to add SSL to a site!

All the best...

If it's not adding to the cart properly only when the URI Mapping module is enabled then the only thing I can think of is that the user's path to the cart page is being interrupted by a redirect.

The only reason I can see that happening is if the form on the manufacturers page doesn't make use of the zen_href_link function which is overridden by the URI Mapping module to add the mapping functionality.

So I'd check what the "action" of the form is. For example, on my test server zen138.local, on the page of the manufacturer gt_interactive the add to cart form tag is built as such:

<form name="multiple_products_cart_quantity" action="http://zen138.local/gt_interactive

Hope that helps!

All the best..

Sorry for the long delay in checking back in, I honestly have not had a breath to work on this. Thanks for the hints, that does seem to be it. Regardless of whether the URI mapping is turned on or not for the manufacturer pages, it shows something like

<form name="multiple_products_cart_quantity" action="http://zen138.local/index.php?main_page=index&amp;sort=20a&amp;manufacturers_id=24&amp;action=multiple_products_add_product

instead of

<form name="multiple_products_cart_quantity" action="http://zen138.local/gt_interactive

Any clue on what to do to fix this? I've looked around to see if I forgot to update something, and I'm at a loss.

Thanks for your help!!

Hi Sara,

Any clue on what to do to fix this? I've looked around to see if I forgot to update something, and I'm at a loss.

I'm afraid I can't remember the full context of your problem now, but the following may help..

Are you using the latest version of the module? If not, please upgrade, in case that helps.. you also may have forgotten to upload the file includes/functions/html_output.php from the modified_core_files folder.

Hope that helps!

All the best...
