Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

Hi,

http://www.ourdomain.com/affiliates/...id=1234&jxURL=http://ourdomain.com/books/book-title

This link returns user to the site home page.

.htaccess tweak needed?

I would say so. I'm afraid I'm not sure what exactly is going wrong and what you should change it to.

Get in contact with FTP and admin details for your site and I can carry out a test.

All the best..

Hi,

The jam links look like this:

http://www.ourdomain.com/affiliates/...id=1234&jxURL=http://ourdomain.com/books/book-title

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to what you'd actually posted because of a lack of time and because I was put off by the fact that this silly link doesn't use URL encoding.

The problem you are probably having is that you are using a custom script which may well be loading the Zen Cart system.. please follow the instructions in the docs relating to this: "Ensuring 100% Compatibility with Third Party Zen Cart Modules - Specifying Individual Files to be Excluded from URI Mapping".

Hope that helps!

All the best..

conor,

thanks! I'll check that and post back the results.

Hi. I've been using this module on my test site ok.. But there is an issue I can't figure out. When I log in as a customer I get a 404 page not found. When I switch off URI mapping in Admin it works fine. So it must be an issue with the mapping.

I am running zen cart v1.3.9d in a subdirectory on an Apache webserver.

Other plugins installed are ( I doubt the mess this up!)
Image Handler 2
Fual Slimbox
Froogle feeder

htaccess example as follows -

RewriteEngine On

# ONLY rewrite URIs beginning with /testsite2/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/testsite2/ [NC]
# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-z]{2,5}$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/testsite2/myrenamedadmin [NC]
# Don't rewrite editors directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/testsite2/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]

I'm a designer really, so I'm not completely familiar with this sort of gubbins, so excuse me if this is a really simple problem I've missed. I also noticed a similar 404 error occured when I tested a PayPal Sandbox.

Thanks in advance for any advice on what might be wrong here.

Added this to List of Files to be Excluded:

/affiliates/jrox.php, /affiliates/sale.php

but I think my problem was due to mixing the www and non-www domains in the jrox affiliate link url!

thanks!

You shouldn't have a test site for a site that is to use URI mappings in a folder.. when you move the files out of that folder it will stop working.

As for the 404, this means you've either put the .htaccess file in the wrong folder or the rewrite rule isn't right. Try reading the instructions again and cross-checking them against what you've done, in case you've made a mistake.

Hope that helps.

Ok. Thanks for getting back so fast I'll read the instructions again hand have yet another fiddle. The .htaccess file is in the testsite2 folder next to index.php, includes etc... testsite2 has one product uploaded. All configure files and htaccess along with the product will have 'testsite2' renamed 'shop.' that was the plan anyway

hello conor,

i was wondering if this and your advance shipper module are compatible with the latest version (1.3.9e)

regards

Hi,

i was wondering if this and your advance shipper module are compatible with the latest version (1.3.9e)

If you're installing a "fresh" version of Ceon URI Mapping then there a re a few changed files needed to 1.3.9e, I'll try and get the new version with those files out shortly, I've very little time at the minute so I can't say when I'll get a chance. As for Advanced Shipper, it is compatible with all Zen Cart versions as it doesn't use any modified core files.

If you've any other questions please ask me directly, I know you have my address! :)

All the best..
