Hi,



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!

All the best..

Thanks for your reply
maybe I missed an update, the software was installed by your company some time last year ?

I have changed web host since then

Hi Rhian,

[FONT=Courier New][/FONT]

Thanks for your reply

I have changed web host since then

I thought maybe you'd installed a new version?

Quite simply, the error you are having is normally caused by html_output.php not being modified.

I'm guessing that someone has upgraded your site to a new version of Zen Cart? And in doing so wiped the URI Mapping modifications.

If someone uploaded a new version of Zen Cart for you you should get them to download the latest version of Ceon URI Mapping and install it for you (as this will have been their fault).

If you're still having trouble get in contact with me with FTP and admin details for your site and I'll see if I can get things fixed quickly.

All the best..

Hi Conor

Thanks for your reply, my webhost could have changed or re-installed zencart during the file & database transfer, I'm still using the zencart 1.3.8a but I'll check. The webhost also installed an ssl certificate for me, I don't know if that affects your module.

thanks for your offer of help, I might have to contact you if I get into difficulty

the URI module has worked brilliantly, so I think something could have been wiped without me knowing and caused the button problem.

I'll check the file you mentioned
Thanks for taking the time to get back to me

I installed this and found that with the first access to mapped pages results in zenid being appended to URLs off just pages with Ceon URLs. This does not occur if the first page hit is any non-Ceon URL.

Here is one of the Ceon URLs
http://aftershockmotorsports.com/Custom-Buggy-Parts

I pulled up a couple sites listed in this thread. These two have the same behavior:
http://www.burnerbooks.com
http://www.mydanilo.com/

These two put the zenid on after the initial page so could be the cache directory write issue:
http://winegiftspersonalized.com
http://www.winemax.ie/

Zen Cart is installed in a subdirectory, cart. Initially I had zenid every time on the Ceon URLs until I modified the session create because the default is to set the cookie path to the install directory. I changed it to '/'. This is probably a common issue for people and might be worth noting in the documentation.

Zen Cart is responsible for choosing when the session ID is added, not Ceon URI Mapping.

If there is a way to make Zen Cart smarter about this then of course I think I should add that functionality.

However, I don't have time to look into this at the minute. It's therefore on my "to-do" list. (I give no release dates or planned released dates, so anyone reading this, please don't ask! :) ).

I do note that one of the changes in Zen Cart 1.3.9h is the addition of the following line to the sessions file:

if (defined('SESSION_USE_ROOT_COOKIE_PATH') && SESSION_USE_ROOT_COOKIE_PATH  == 'True') $path = '/'; 

All the best..

Conor -

Great add on. I wanted to tell you about some strange behavior, however.

I have my Site Map page linked to an EZ Page. It was working and displaying all proper links at the URI /index.php?main_page=site_map. I ticked the box on the EZ Page editor to have the URI auto-generated. Poof, the links disappeared from the site map, although an otherwise complete page did appear with a URI of /site-map.

Deleting "site-map" from the URI Mapping box in the EZ Page editor restored the links on the site map page which still appears with a URI of /site-map. To double check, I re-ticked the box to generate the URI which again caused the links to disappear, I then deleted "site-map" from the URI Mapping box again returning the links to view.

So, my site appears to be working correctly again. In my search of this thread and others I could find no mention of anything similar happening to anyone else, so I thought I would pass this on. Nothing similar happened with any of my other pages when I generated the URI. If you are interested in taking a look, my site is http://www.clarifyartwear.com/

Thanks for making this great add on available, and for all the information you dispense.

Hi,

Glad you like the software!

It doesn't have any "strange" behaviour, after several years of finding and fixing bugs, there are no known bugs in the software.

You must simply have configured something wrong.. possibly having one page's URI interfere with another's.

Please send me PHPMyAdmin (i.e. database/control panel) details and admin details for your site via this address. I'll then take a quick look for you.

if you create any temporary accounts for me, just be sure they have FULL access, you can then delete them afterwards for peace of mind.

All the best..

Hi,

I'm enjoying this software and it's working great thank you.

I have one question, I'm removing a number of products from my store, for instance a colour may have been discontinued and I want to redirect the url for the deleted product to another product or category, how do I do this?
