Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[conor]

Hi,

Where can I find the query string parameters?

If you dump the contents of the $_GET variable you'll see them (that's what this variable holds).

I'd add the following code in a few places to see why your site is losing the sorting/filtering/pagination settings:

var_dump($_GET);

You're looking ot see at what point the "sort" key etc. is being wiped.

The section of the code which was introduced to fix the manufacturers pagination bug was:

$query_string_parameter_pairs = explode('&', $query_string_to_match);
                            
                            foreach ($query_string_parameter_pairs as
                                    $current_query_string_parameter_pair) {
                                $key_and_value = explode('=', $current_query_string_parameter_pair);
                                
                                unset($_GET[$key_and_value[0]]);
                            } 

If you don't have that in init_ceon_uri_mapping.php then you're still using an old, broken version of the module.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the grammar lesson. There have been over 20,000 hits and no one had pointed it out yet!

It's one of those things I notice. :)

haha. As for the dropped es after fluorescent-lighting-accessori, the auto generate did it. Perhaps a character max? I don't know. I have corrected it now.

No, so I'm left wondering if something else is up on your site!

Regardless, check the above first please!

All the best...

I have the latest init_ceon_uri_mapping file so that isn't the cause.

Could you walk me through exploring the contents of the $_GET variable, specifically where you say to add var_dump($_GET); "in a few places".

That's almost a pity, I was hoping for an "easy answer" like that! :)

Sorry, walk throughs are one of the things I simply won't do for free, it takes up too much time when life is too short!

If you have a developer working on your site please ask them to "trace" what's going on with your GET variables.. at some point the "sort" parameter etc. is being dropped for some reason, causing sorting to fail on your site.

I wish you luck in getting this fixed.. I can't imagine it should take too long to find out what's happening (fingers crossed anyway!).

All the best...

Sorting only fails when I use your uri mapping software. If the entire sort function didn't work all of the time I would be much more worried. If you're not willing to do it for free what would it cost?

I am a web developer and have spoken with a friend of mine who was just as dumbfounded as to why it only breaks when using your software.

You should contact Conor via the contact form on his site about this as he cannot post any commercial offerings for software and services in the forum.. (BIG no no)

haha. I should have known better. Thanks for the advice.

I wouldn't want Conor to get a slap on the hand.. He's one of the nicest module developers.. (there are others too who are just as nice..)

Thanks very much for the nice comments DivaVocals! I wasn't trying to solicit business, was just saying that due to its time consuming nature, manually editing forum members' websites to manually trace through their environment setup is unfortunately beyond the level of support I provide with this particular module. If I thought it was a bug with the module I'd go as far as doing that for snaple but since this behaviour hasn't been reported by anyone else and can't be replicated by me I think it has to be server/site specific and therefore the work required to help isn't something I can offer on this forum.

I hope snaple gets it sorted though of course! Manually tracing this should be time-conusming but easy to do.

All the best..

I knew that.. Just wanted to make sure that folks knew you couldn't answer commercial questions here..

Reading over things again that seems clear now.. must be a bit too late for me here I think!

Thanks for the help/comments as usual DivaVocals!
