Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[enzo-ita]

Hi,



Yes, that's right. That's how the software has to work. Otherwise "context" is lost on the site. The canonical URI for both these URIs is the same, so search engines see no duplication of content.

So simply, you haven't found a problem.. just ignore the cPaths, the search engines do!



EZ-page internal links are not supported by the software. Since you are able to provide static URIs for all your pages through Ceon URI Mapping there is no point in the EZ-Page internal links anymore.. you should remove all of them from your site and use Ceon URI Mapping for the links instead.

All the best..

Hi,
thanks for the prompt answer.
I am a newbie, plus I am italian, so please do not stuck on my wording.
When I say i found a problem I do not mean the software has a bug. I am jus underlining something i noticed.
If goole ignore the cpath would'nt this result in duplicated products for google?

About providing static URIs for all your pages through Ceon URI Mapping cna you point on how to do that?

Thanks

Hi Enzo,

No problem, I understand.

No as the products only have ONE canonical URI.

About providing static URIs for all your pages through Ceon URI Mapping cna you point on how to do that?

That's covered in the documentation. Simply read and use the section:

"Specifying the current URI Mapping for any other Zen Cart page".

You can set up new static URIs for the other pages on your site, instead of using the now-defunct "EZ-Pages Internal Links" functionality. You should remove all EZ-Page internal links. Simply set them up as "other page URIs" as outlined in the documentation section I've listed above.

Hope that helps!

All the best..

Hello - just a quick question that I asked in general questions, but thought it better to ask here as it involves my CEON URI Mapping.

The 'add this to my cart' button doesn't work when my URI module is switched on, at first I thought it was only on the featured products, but it seems to be on all of them. The buy it now button works

please help, as I want to fix this & don't want to turn the module off - I hope it is something simple.

thanks in advance

I'm using zencart 1.3.8.a

You haven't installed the software properly.

Re-install the software from the start, being careful to make sure that you don't miss updating includes/functions/html_output.php

Hope you like the software!

Hi,
I am having a little problem with CEON URI mapping.
A product like:

Raccordo 3/8" a T F

is mapped as

raccordo-3-8-t-f

losing so the means of the name.
The mapping I would like to have for this product is

raccordo-3/8"-T-F

I guess there is no solution because the / and the " are not accepted as part of the URI, and a rule that will keep the capital letters would apply to any other product.

If there is a solution please let me know.
The rest is working really well. Thanks

Hi Enzo,

Quotes aren't but slashes are fine. However, most people see slashes as "sections" so they aren't part of autogenerated words

and a rule that will keep the capital letters would apply to any other product.

That's right.

If there is a solution please let me know.

Yes, simply manually enter your URIs if you have URIs which don't suit the autogeneration algorithms.

You can't use quotes, they're not valid characters, so your two options are:

raccordo-3/8-T-F

or

raccordo-3-8-T-F

Well, a third is:

raccordo-3/8inch-T-F

As I said, you must enter these MANUALLY.

All the best..

Thanks.
I am not sure were I should enter the manually.
In the db or in the product page?
I tryed in theproduct pèage but it does not work, it returns to it's original description when you save even if the box for the auto generation is not ticked.

The product page.

You must have messed something up when you installed the software. Please get in contact with FTP and admin details for your site and I'll take a quick look.

If Zen Cart was installed in a subdirectory, can the URLs be without the subdirectory? I want to change the URLs a few at a time and get rid of the subdirectory reference.

Yes, you can enter whatever you want for the URIs. As long as two URIs aren't exactly the same, you can make them whatever you want!

All the best..
