Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[choccybox]

choccybox, the changes to those files in 1.3.9f were minor HTML edits. You can easily compare and change them yourself if you are encountering problems.

I will go ahead and compare them then if conor is not in the process of updating for this. It was actually 1.3.9e that overwrote the ceon files not 1.3.9f as I previously stated.

Cheers!

Sometimes you will have to go back a page or two to read whats going on. Conor has already stated that an update is on it way.

Hi,

A new version of Ceon URI Mapping will be released shortly with sample modified core files for Zen Cart 1.3.9e and 1.3.9f.

In the meantime, anyone wanting to install Ceon URI Mapping should just use the sample modified core files for Zen Cart 1.3.9d, they are compatible "enough" that there's no problem using them.

You can then copy the files for 1.3.9f across when you upgrade to it.

All the best..

First of all I want to thank you for making this addon available!

In my case, I'm using version v1.3.9e, since I'm new, I do not know whether I should upgrade to the latest version since I had already installed v.1.3.9e before the f was released... not sure if it is compatible with most addons yet...

I installed ultimate url addon and unistalled it to install this one. I also installed the image handler plugin and a few others.

HERE IS THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING AFTER I INSTALLED CEON URI MAPPING ADDON:

. Site displays properly, but when I click on a Category on the side, it shows a 404 error and the link does point to the written url. Since the new products page isn't affected yet by this addon, if I point the mouse to a product, I can see that products urls have been rewritten, but if I click on a product, it also shows a 404 error.

I had already added the htaccess page given on the addon. I tried removing it and seeing if it works, but still doesn't work.
I tried creating a new category and see if it works and nothing, I keep getting the 404 no found error.

What could I be missing? Your help will be very appreciated!
Thanks,


Loyd

Yes.. I think maybe this thread is getting too large and is putting people off going back a page or two.. I can't blame anyone for that, I think I'd probably be the same.

I think I'll start a new thread shortly when I release a new version of the software.. which should hopefully be sometime within the next 3-6 days.

Thanks for the nice comments from you and DivaVocals the other day, it was very good of you to say those positive things! :)

All the best...

Hi Loyd,

First of all I want to thank you for making this addon available!

Glad you like it!

In my case, I'm using version v1.3.9e, since I'm new, I do not know whether I should upgrade to the latest version since I had already installed v.1.3.9e before the f was released... not sure if it is compatible with most addons yet...

Just upgrade, the changes are minor, mostly simple fixes.. the changes are so minor you can even use the modified core files for 1.3.9d from the Ceon URI Mapping distribution with no negative effects on your site. (Best to then use the 1.3.9f modified core files when the new version of Ceon URI Mapping is released soon).

I keep getting the 404 no found error.

What could I be missing?

You haven't set up a working .htaccess file.

Check all the instructions for adding a rewrite rule to the .htaccess file, starting from scratch. Remove ALL Ultimate SEO URL rewrite rules before you add the appropriate Ceon URI Mapping rewrite rule.

If you are still having trouble after a few tries, send me FTP details for your site to this address and I'll take a look.

All the best...

Hello,

As usual - thank you in advance. This was touched upon a little but I wanted to ask about how you eliminated the functionality of the sorting on the product listing pages.

To me, this would only CAUSE duplicate content penalties, rather than eliminating them. I may be missing something but please explain if you could.

Also, could you point me in the right direction of reinstating this functionality.

Thanks,
Bryan

"Eliminated the functionality"? No such thing has been done. I'm not sure what you are talking about!

Also, could you point me in the right direction of reinstating this functionality.

Nothing's been "eliminated" so I'm afraid I'm at a loss as to what you want to reinstate.

As far as how the module prevents duplicate content issues with sorted category pages, it uses canonical URIs so the search engines know that a page is a variation of a single page, the "main" category page really only having a single URI.

All the best...

HAH. Figured I was missing something. Not sure what happened when I did my last upgrade but I can't sort! Hmmmmm... Sorry for the confusion!

[miamishop1]

wow, I never thought I was going to get this quick response! Thanks Conor!

I will give it a try to the htaccess file. If I cannot make it, then I will send you ftp details for you to look at it. I'll reply you with the results one way or the other.

Thanks,

Hi,

HAH. Figured I was missing something. Not sure what happened when I did my last upgrade but I can't sort! Hmmmmm... Sorry for the confusion!

The time I saw this before it was caused by the store mistakenly using an old Ultimate SEO rewrite rule instead of the Ceon URI Mapping rule.

Check your htaccess file's rewrite rules to be sure nothing is clashing with the Ceon URI Mapping rewrite rule.

If that's not it then please send me some FTP and admin details for your site so I can check this out for you.

All the best...
