Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[conor]

Hi,

I am getting the same problem as sinful. I get the Page Not Found screen when typing in the address www.pc-point.co.uk. It works fine if I type "www.pc-point.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index" instead.

Please send me FTP, admin and PHPMyAdmin details for your site via this link and I'll take a quick look.

All the best..

Hi,

Just a reminder that now that 3.4.0 is out, free support from Ceon for versions prior to that is over.

If you have any problems with the module please upgrade to 3.4.0 first before posting here or getting in contact with me privately.

Thanks! :)

All the best...

Reinstalling 3.4.0 fixed the problem. I was manually adding the code to core files before, so must have made a mistake somewhere. Thank you very much for your help Conor.

Hi,

A new version of Ceon URI Mapping is available for download!

EVERYONE SHOULD UPGRADE!


Upgrading will only take a few minutes if the only module you have which has modified the core files is a previous version Ceon URI Mapping.

Please read the post a few posts back regarding version 3.4.0 to find out what's new in 3.4.0.

3.4.1 is mostly small tweaks to make things work better and faster but unfortunately also includes a bugfix for a fairly serious problem introduced in 3.4.0 - sorry about that!

This release has been thoroughly tested so could hopefully be the last one for years (as it works that well! :) ).


From the Revision History:

[ADDED] Check for link to index page added to link generation function. Saves having to call the database when linking to the index page, resulting in lighter usage of server resources.

[ADDED] Automatic redirection of variants of index page URIs added (index.php, index.php?main_page=index). Instead of having a default URI mapping for the index page, all links to the index page are now handled in code, with all links automatically being redirected to the root of the store (i.e. the value of DIR_WS_CATALOG, e.g. / or /shop).

[UPDATED] All canonical URIs are now absolute URIs. In 3.4.0 they were relative to the site's root, now they are full URIs (they include the http URI scheme and the site's domain name).

[UPDATED] Any previously added mappings for the index page will be automatically made into historical URIs as they are no longer needed.

[UPDATED] New function added so that when Ceon URI Mapping is redirecting to another URI, the query string is rebuilt with any array or multi-dimensional array parameters intact. (Standard Zen Cart function doesn't support passing arrays). To minimise server impact the functions are only loaded if needed.

[UPDATED] Support added for building canonical URIs for pages which are loaded by posting a HTML form which uses the GET method. Filters on product listing pages etc. use a form to build their URIs; previously this would result in each filter creating a new URI without a canonical hint tag. Now all pages always have a canonical tag, regardless of how the URI is built, by populating the canonical URI variable even when the only things that have changed in the URI are the filtering parameters.

[BUGFIX] The default index page mapping added in 3.4.0 meant that any manufacturer product listing page which didn't have a static URI mapping specified/generated redirected to the index page when trying to add a product to the cart directly from the listing, meaning that the add to cart functionality was broken. This redirection no longer takes place, so the add to cart functionality has been restored.

[UPDATED] FAQ added to documentation to point to the information needed to get some third party modules working when Ceon URI Mapping is enabled. Information about what needs to be looked at made clearer and more comprehensive.


Download 3.4.1 now!


It will be uploaded to the downloads area on this site in a few days.. we've a few other module releases ready to go but had to delay them slightly to get a fully working version of URI Mapping out!

Enjoy!

All the best...

Hello Ceon URI Mapping,

I think there is a problem with the site or you are banned from using the site, or maybe there is a problem with your internet connection. Or your internet security has block that site.

I can get in just fine.. (both from home and my VERY restrictive work internet access) Conor could not be banned from his own site.. Perhaps you are blocked from the site from your internet connection.. Any message you get to indicate such would seem to point to an issue with your internet access..

Hello Conor,
Very excite to hear that the Ceon URI Mapping has the new edition, and I found some really good function, such as:
1.The “cPath” query string parameter is now removed from the URI if the current category is simply the product's master category
and I check my good webmaster, found that, there are two pages
/Kia-GPS-Navigation/Kia-Borrego-GPS-Navigation
/Kia-GPS-Navigation/Kia-Borrego-GPS-Navigation?cPath=
but this is the signal page, will the 3.4.1 solve this problem?
you can see my picture 1
2.Canonical URI support added! that is very good, but I have one question, currently one my site there are some options to choose by custome, like item name, price, new arrival(see picture 2),
if choose one of them, then it will generate a new site like: http://www.domain.com/Car-GPS-Naviga...&productsort=3
will it solve this problem, and only dierct to http://www.domain.com/Car-GPS-Naviga...GPS-Navigation ?

I will test this new edition and start to use it. Thanks you so much if you would like to answer me.

Hi Alan,

I will test this new edition and start to use it. Thanks you so much if you would like to answer me.

I'm glad you like the module but why are you posting asking what the new features "will be like"?

Why don't you just install the module?

You've pushed the release announcement back up the thread just to ask me if the features I've listed actually work or do what they say they'll do.

To answer your first question, cPath may still get added the odd time but it's much less likely to be added now and the canonical support means that search engines won't see duplicate pages. :)

To answer your second question, yes, the new version has canonical URI support so although the sort parameters will still be added (http://www.domain.com/Car-GPS-Naviga...&productsort=3) the search engines will see a canonical URI without the sort parameters (http://www.domain.com/Car-GPS-Naviga...GPS-Navigation).

TO ALL USERS: PLEASE NOTE THAT SUPPORT FOR VERSIONS 1.0.0-3.4.0 IS NOW OVER. PLEASE DON'T ASK ANY QUESTIONS HERE UNLESS YOU'VE ALREADY UPGRADED TO VERSION 3.4.1.

Thanks!

Thanks DivaVocals for pointing out that the ceon website's working fine. Not sure what you were referring to tiresmokindad.. if you're still having trouble please get in contact with me privately.

All the best...
