Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[DivaVocals]

Hi Conor,


After installing the module, the main content doesn't show up, displays a zencart 404 page. Everything else is ok.

www.giftpackaging.com.au - 404 on front/main page
www.giftpackaging.com.au/shop/ - works

The first question I would ask is why do you have your shop configured in this way?? Is Zen Cart in both the root directory AND in a sub directory??

I think a great deal of your problem is in how your store is configured..

Hi,



Sorry but I don't know why that would be. There may be something wrong in your .htaccess file. Are you sure you have limited the rewrites to the shop directory?

All the best...

In the /shop/ directory there wasn't a .htaccess file, so I created one with below:

(although below admin is actually changed to another folder, i haven't written it below)

RewriteEngine On

# ONLY rewrite URIs beginning with /shop/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/shop/.* [NC]
# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxx])
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$
# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/shop/newadminfolder.* [NC]
# Don't rewrite editors directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/shop/editors.* [NC]
# Don't rewrite cPanel directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/cpanel.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/frontend.* [NC]
# Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (index.php)
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Hi,

That .htaccess file is fine.

What isn't is that you have your shop in the /shop directory but you are also trying to have / as the shop.. I don't know how you've done that but as DivaVocals says, why would you want the home page of your shop to be BOTH / and /shop ?

You'll need to rework your site so that / isn't your shop.

Or to redirect / to /shop

Or to move your store from /shop to /

That'll be you sorted then.

My suggestion is to move the whole daggone thing to the root directory.. If the shop IS the SITE, then the whole thing needs to be in the root PERIOD.. There is no need for a /shop directory

Hello Conor!

I have exacly the same problem mentioned here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=849

How did you solve that?

We are using version: 3.2.4
In our case the language switch worked fine for several weeks and since some hour ago we have this phenomenon and only with one category.
The language switchs with all the other categories and languages work fine.

Thank you!

Hi,

The language switchs with all the other categories and languages work fine.

I mentioned this in a previous post but this thread's so long now it's hard to find things! I'll probably start a new thread after the next release...

Basically I've rewritten the language support for the next version of the module. I'll release the new version whenever I can get the time to package it up.

All the best...

Hey Conor,
Thanks for creating this module!!
I have uploaded everything and it is in my modukle section in the admin, so thats all OK.
I am going through the set up procedure and am stuck on altering the htaccess files.

I am hosted with yahoo and they dont let htaccess files up on the site.
So when it comes to adding re-write. I have no idea what to do.
I spent all day working out how to dowlnload Apache so that is done. Is there any way you can help me sort this. I am assuming tha I HAVE TO RE-WRITE

cheers

Hi,

Glad you like the software!

To use the module you *must* be able to modify your VirtualHost directive *or* add the rules to a .htaccess file.

If your hosting doesn't support either of those technologies you *must* move hosts!

It's worth the effort to move if your host is so basic you don't have access to either of the above!

Hope that helps!

All the best...
