Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[FrilansReklam]

My problem is the generated adress /category/product not working I have to use it with /shop/category/product.

Hello,

I've installed the CEON URI MAPPING module and everything is working fine in IE6 and Firefox, but there are some issues in IE8. Categories and images in categories are displayed ok, but when I go to subcategories images and stylesheet is not loaded.

I think the problem is that Zen Cart tries to load pictures from shopname.com/categoriename/images instead of shopname.com/images. When uri mapping module is off, everything comes back to normal. Is there a way to fix this? I could not find a thread about IE8 issues in the forum

Live examples (no spaces between domain name letters needed):

a n o n a . lt/verslo_dovanos - working categorie
a n o n a . lt/verslo_dovanos/puodeliai - not working subcategorie
a n o n a . lt/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=107_116 - working subcategorie when uri mapping is turned off.

This occurs when links to images are page-relative, not the required server-relative or absolute. Server relative is preferred (to avoid HTTP/HTTPS issues inherent with absolute linking).

It is the browser that resolves image location. Relative locations are relative to the folder level of the currently viewed HTML page. Server relative links with a leading slash are best.

Hi,

I could not find a thread about IE8 issues in the forum

That's because there are no browser issues with the module!

Your problem is that you are trying to use relative paths for your images/stylesheets.

You cannot use relative paths with static URIs!

You must change the path to your stylesheets and images to be the full path, starting with a slash (/).

Or you can set the "base href" for your site.

Hope that helps.

All the best...

Hi I am using the Ceon URI mapping module v 3.2.2 on my Zen Cart site (1.3.8a).

The site is at http://www.heatpumps4pools.com

The problem I have is that the navigation on the site often stops working.

This happens at random times throughout the day.

When the problem occurs, a random page from my site is displayed regardless of which link is clicked on.

The browser address bar correctly shows the URL of the link that has been clicked on, however the page displayed is a completely different page.

When this happens, clicking on any of the site's links still displays the same random page.

I have found that sometimes pressing F5 or refreshing the page repeatedly will then display the correct page, but sometimes it will not.

This is also being reported by customers and is losing me business so any help would be appreciated ! It happens with IE and Firefox.

After a few minutes the site seems to work ok again.

My hosting company says that the likely cause is the URL SEO mapping module.

Any advice on how to fix this would be much appreciated.

Regards

David

Hi,

I have found that sometimes pressing F5 or refreshing the page repeatedly will then display the correct page, but sometimes it will not.

After a few minutes the site seems to work ok again.

The module does not return random results.

I have seen this behaviour on a site before. The problem was the database server on the host not being in sync (they used some sort of "cloud" server).

You are also using an old version of the module.. you should always upgrade to the latest version of a module if you are having trouble!

The new 3.4.0 will be out later today so you should upgrade to that today.. I'll post back here when it has been released.

Unfortunately though, my gut feeling is that even after installing the latest version things will remain the same. In which case you'll have no choice but to pay someone to find and fix your server issues.

All the best...

Hello Conor,
How are you?
Recently, I found a problem of Ceon URI Mapping, Today I check my site on google webmaster, and it displayed on google that, there are lots of repeated meta title, meta description, I think the possible cause is theat the ?cPath=, but I have use Ceon to rewite it, but I don't know why it is still there.
could you tell me the possible cause is? Thank you very much

URLs with multiple question marks are not valid in the HTTP specs.

There's certainly some sort of coding error somewhere if there are links with URLs like that somewhere in your system.

I'd run Xenu LinkSleuth over your site to see if you can spot where links with those URLs are being generated.

Hi,

Were you able to upload/finish the new CEON SEO?

If so, where can I find it? Been looking forward to it since 1.3.9 came out.
