Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[alepia]

Still trying on installing this addons in my website... but it seems so hard
When I click a product/category that has a Ceon modified url I just get this:

Not Found

The requested URL /shop/ideeregalo was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/2.2.14 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/0.9.7a mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 PHP/5.2.11 Server at alepia.ch Port 80

What's the matter??

Thanks for the help!

Hi,



Read the section of the manual "Specifying the current URI Mapping for any other Zen Cart page".. I guess that mod probably uses a value for main_page of:

ask_a_question

Enter your chosen URI and then the other values for the record in the database table should be the same as in the docs.

Hope that helps...

All the best..

How edit this mod to generate nice URL for ask a question mod?

Did you try what Conor suggested.. Because it should work the same way as it would if you created friendly links for the "Tell a Friend" pages.. If that does not work, I'm not sure Conor will be able to help address questions on what code changes are required for another mod to work with his..

it works in that way that I get this url: mysite/ask-a-guestion?products_id=xxxx which is almost the same as a common zen url with only product_id parameter but still not cool one. I need to get similar url to send a friend url for product. However I set not to index ask a question urls I still think that it is cool for custumers. Maybe you suggested me to place in my phpadmin for every product one extra row for ask a question url but it would be crazy to do that with somany products

Your question implied that you hadn't tried Conor's suggestion at all and/or that it didn't work.. That said, as far as I know the URL that you have is about as cool as it's gonna get. This is similar to how the URLS for the "Tell A Friend" will work with this mod.

Wasn't suggesting this at all or I would have explicitly stated so. I did suggest you try Conor's suggestion (which you did). I also suggested that anything you want outside of that won't be something that Conor would necessarily be able to support as you might be asking for something a LOT more custom.

Does Conor's SEO mod work with the "Ask A Question" mod??
Yes..

Does it work the way you would like???
No..

Will Conor be able to help you get the links to look the way you would like???
Can't speak for Conor, but I imagine that if he has time/willingness to help you with customizations to another authors module then he will..

I am trying to map the following link in phpMyAdmin:

/store/index.php?main_page=index&typefilter=record_company&record_company_id=1

It will end up looking like: /store/Publishing-Group/Northland-Recordings

I have tried numerous combinations, but I must be entering wrong values somewhere. Could anyone provide some assistance?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

it works in that way that I get this url: mysite/ask-a-guestion?products_id=xxxx

I see what you are trying/want to do.. use the "Automated support for standard Zen Cart pages related to a Product", extending it to supporting the "Ask A Question" module as well as the currently support "Reviews" and "Tell a friend" product-related pages.

Obviously that is indeed possible but as you say would require core changes, specifically in the product section of the admin.

I don't really have time for that at the minute but will certainly consider it for a future version of the module.

All the best...

First off, please read the section of the documentation "Specifying the current URI Mapping for any other Zen Cart page". Section 2 applies to you.

You'll want to use

index

for main_page

current_uri would be 1

uri would be

/store/Publishing-Group/Northland-Recordings

query_string_parameters would be

typefilter=record_company&record_company_id=1


That should hopefully work.

Thanks, Conor.

I am using a header menu dropdown and found that even when I had set up the URI correctly in phpMyAdmin, I had to manually change the link in the dropdown menu (to the new URI).

I noticed the same problem with other links I was configuring. I had to manually replace the old links to make them work.

Everything is working well now!

A donation will be on its way shortly. I appreciate your time and effort to make this module.

Hi Pete,

How are you?

I am using a header menu dropdown and found that even when I had set up the URI correctly in phpMyAdmin, I had to manually change the link in the dropdown menu (to the new URI).

It sounds like that menu had the links hardcoded?

Everything is working well now!

That's the main thing then!

Have a happy Christmas and a happy New Year! :)

All the best...
