Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[vandiermen]

Hello,

I have been asked to help transfer www.petsavenue.com.au (with Ceon URI Mapping 3.2.3) to a new server.

I don't know how to get the Rewrite Rule working. Its working on the current server; I just copied the database and files over to the new server and a 2nd testing server but the seo links go to blank pages or zecart Page Not Found pages
http://pepe6420.staging-zeus.netregistry.net (netregistry)
www.onlineshopdesign.net/pa_test (godaddy)

I would think godaddy should work with RewriteEngine On. I had a look at the .htaccess file but I don't think I need to change this. Maybe I need to edit something else, or there's some thing I can added to .htaccess file to get it working? I will keep looking into it later.

Hello,

Just wondering if theres been any update to this working with easy populate? I have a new store and populating it via EP, however theres roughly 4000 products and doing them one by one is out of the question :-)

Hi guys,

I've recently moved over to CEON URI after a long frustrating battle with SSU, and it works great! Thanks for this great mod.

I've updated all of my products and everything appears to be in good working order, just 2 minor issues I haven't been able to resolve.


1. When I add a product with attributes to the shopping cart, if I mouse over that product in the shopping cart the link appears as /category/product?:1fddbd5a52e7ef2e74602409d20a04c6

If I click the link the page appears and still has the string attached

Products with no attribute do not have a ?:xxxx string attached. (note this is not the zenid - that part is fine)


2. In some of my product names I add a line break <br /> tag, when I use auto generate it adds br inside the product URI, I can edit this out manually but is there a way to have it ignore the <br /> tag? I have tried excluding it and converting it to a different string in the configuration with no luck


This is one Zen Cart 1.3.8a using CEON URI 3.2.4, any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks again!

Glad you like it!

This bug has already been fixed in the latest version. In 3.4.0 the product_id parameter isn't removed if it includes attribute information so that the attributes can be correctly pre-selected when clicking on a product in the shopping cart.

2. In some of my product names I add a line break <br /> tag, when I use auto generate it adds br inside the product URI, I can edit this out manually but is there a way to have it ignore the <br /> tag?

Sorry you'll have to stop using HTML in your product names if you want to use Ceon URI Mapping's autogeneration functionality.

You could add in code to strip HTML from product names before the autogeneration takes place but I don't think it's ever a good idea to mix design and code so I think you should rethink your idea of breaking a name into two sentences. It doesn't make sense in real life and it also doesn't make sense online.

All the best..

If you are referring to Ceon's URI Manager software, it's a commercial product, so don't look for any response from Conor on this forum with regards to it. Discussions of commercial products is frowned upon and doing so could get Conor suspended if he engaged in talks about his commercial offerings. My suggestion is to go to Conor's site and speak with him directly there with regards to the URI Manager..

Is there anything I need to do when I move servers to get this mod working again. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi
I have also stopped getting orders logged to my admin.
I am using Zen Cart 1.3.8a with no upgrade recently
I have been using Paypal IPN with no problems
I did recently install sitemapxml on 4/9/10 and ceon uri mapping on 4/20/10 and first order that didn't log (but payment received) was 4/21/10
I don't get a lot of orders yet and last order that logged was in March 2010
I ran ipncheck.php but all it shows is my main page
Thought maybe I should switch to Paypal express so I ran curltest.php but all it shows is my main page

I checked "Excluded files" in the config and it says that /ipn_main_handler.php is in the list by default

Website located at:
http://santanoni.biz/

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Follow-up on previous post
I did make the following change in the .htaccess Could that have caused the orders to not log?

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$

to:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(html|htm|php)$ [NC]

OK
I found that the rewrite was the problem.
I had changed as follows:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$
to:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(html|htm|php)$ [NC]

I changed it back to basic:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$

and it works fine.

Not sure if:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(html|htm)$ [NC]

would work. I didn't take the time to find out. Maybe someone else has an answer to that.
Hope this helps someone
John
