Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[rachitm]

First of all you need to download the current version of Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)
After that you need to check to make sure your .htaccess file is right. Read the documentation again how to install this software. You have miss something.

Example rule for stores installed in a folder other than the root of the site, with the admin named “admin”.

As mentioned above, if a store is not installed in the root directory of a site, that is, if in includes/configure.php the DIR_WS_CATALOG define isn't exactly as follows:
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/'); Then the rewrite rule needs to be modified to point to the store's folders.
For example, if the store's DIR_WS_CATALOG define is:
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/shop/'); Then all of the RewriteConds from “# Don't rewrite admin directory” downwards need to have the forward slash, “/”, changed to “/shop/”.
If the store has other pages on the site which aren't part of Zen Cart - that is, from the example above, pages which aren't in the “/shop” directory - then a RewriteCond must also be added so that these other pages keep working.
The resulting rewrite rule would then be as follows.
If placing the above rule in a VirtualHost directive for the site, the main RewriteRule needs to have the store's relative directory path prepended. The RewriteRule should be changed to:
Modifying the rule for stores which have renamed the admin directory.

If the store does not use “admin”. for the name of the admin directory then the RewriteCond for the admin directory must be modified: “RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/admin [NC]”.


For example, if the store's admin directory is named “store_manager” and Zen Cart is installed in the root directory of the site, the example rewrite rule above would be modified as follows:


Obviously, if the store isn't installed in the root directory of the site, the RewriteCond for the admin folder would have to be modified accordingly.

As an example:

i install new module but error is same.

my .httaccess file contents are follwing


Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Is that all you have in your .htaccess file? Post the whole .htaccess file.

[rachitm]

these four lines only nothing else.

Where are your .htaccess lines specified in the installation the SEO module?

If they are in the .htaccess in the subfolder, that would be why it only works when giving the folder in the URL.

these four lines only nothing else.

That is your whole problem. Please read what I have stated in this post under .htaccess rules.

You need it to look like so

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# ONLY rewrite URIs beginning with /shop/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/shop/ [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} !^/shop/admin [NC]
# Don't rewrite editors directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/shop/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]

Alright, first question for you:

Is it a known bug for Ceon URI Mapping to alter/cause conflict with the "zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT)" in Zen Cart?

From what I understand, FILENAME_DEFAULT alone normally returns the root directory of the site. For example, its used in the default email template for when a new client registers on the site. (See line 30 of email_extras.php in the languages folder).

However, I notice that the zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) now returns the web address to the latest entry in the zen_ceon_url_mappings table in the database.

For example, this is the steps I took to find the bug:
- I have a fresh install of Zen Cart + Ceon URI Mapping
- I've added a new category, and then a product in that category. I've assigned each of them an auto-generated URI.
- Now, just by luck, I notice that the 'Home' link in the site's Breadcrums, the Home link in the default footer AND the Home link in the Welcome email sent to new customers all point to the latest product I made an auto-generated URI for.

Does this happen for you? Or is this just a problem on my end?

What version of Ceon URI Mapping (SEO) are you using?
To get the latest version see post 2120

I'm afraid it's just on your end.

again I changed my htaccess files but no result i donot what problem is exactly

First I have to say that I am very grateful for this community of people that take time to help each other. Thank you.

I have installed the Ceon URI mapping into a new zen cart but am having a couple of issues:

Ceon URI mapping is showing up in the "Configuaration" and "Modules"
tabs in my zen cart admin but not in the Catalog/catagories area where I add/edit my catagory names. Can anyone point me in the right direction to look.

I have been reading this forum and my admin has been renamed so I am trying to get to the .htaccess file but can't locate it.
It is showing in my ftp client, like it is there, but it does not show in my cpanel file manager. Does anyone know why that is? Seems weird to me. Do I need to create a new file?

The only other modifications I've done are the security patchs and installed "All Business" Template.

Thank you.

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
Simply install the module from the start once again, this time being sure not to miss out any steps/modifications/configuration.
You have to make a .htaccess file and upload it to the root of your sever.

So what does your .htaccess look like now?
