Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[DivaVocals]

i see...you are right. i purchase this template through other website. thanks for telling me that. i will be opening up a new thread to get help.

Good luck getting the answers.. Be prepared for some not so helpful responses. Template Monster templates are not very well received (or recommended) around this camp..

And by the way you need to post your REAL problem (I just saw your other post..) Your issue is NOT with Ceon URI Mapping (which is why they closed your thread) You are asking the WRONG question.. Your issue is that your template has coded the "Add to Cart" button in a non standard manner NOT that Ceon URI Mapping is causing issues with your button.. The RESULT of their non standard coding of your "Add to Cart" button is that it causes strange behavior..

More info.. Conor explained what your REAL issue is.. Resolve this and your problem will go away..

Let me re-iterate again this issue has NOTHING TO DO WITH Ceaon URI Mapping.. This is your template using some strange, non-standard, custom code which is causing strange behavior.

I'll be happy to show you a demo link to show you that this is NOT normal Zen Cart behavior.. This is something your template creator did (for reasons which make little sense..)

You appear to have custom coded "Add to cart" links in your New Products box which is building the URI wrong.

It shouldn't append &action=buy_now but should instead supply action=buy_now as a parameter to the zen_href_link function.

Change the code to do that and you should get working links.

hi. i didn't see this reponse while i recreated a new thread...because i don't know why my previous one is closed. but anyway, so the problem is my template. i try to figure out the way Conor explained, i even look back into the installation files that come with the Ceon uri mapping. so i went to phpmyadmin and in the ceon uri mapping i inserted a table like this one: uri: /action=buy_now Language_id: 1 current_uri 1 main_page: &action=buy_now query_string_parameters : NULL associated_db_id : NULL alternate_uri : NULL redirection_type_code 301 date_added 2010-12-15 21:01:48


but the problem remains.....please...i need help on this one. thanks

I'm not sure how I can explain this any better.. The issue you are having isn't being causes by THIS module..

Your Template Monster template is using NON-STANDARD coding which is causing a conflict with THIS module.. The issue can't be resolved by fixing the URI Mapping module.. Your issue needs to be resolved by FIXING YOUR TEMPLATE to either correct this custom code to properly use Zen Cart functions or replace this custom code with the default Zen Cart code for the "Add Selected Products to Cart" button..

Your thread was closed because you posed your question as if the issue is with THIS module.. You were directed to post questions related to Ceon URI Mapping support to this thread, but AGAIN, the cause of your problem is not being caused by this module.. Rather this module is ILLUMINATING an issue with your template's custom coding.. Your template's custom code is not playing nicely with this mod because your template's custom coding is INCORRECT..

If you want to resolve this, post your question again.. This time DON'T pose your question as if the issue is with Ceon URI Mapping.. Post the TRUE nature of your issue.. I will post your ACTUAL issue once again for you..

You appear to have custom coded "Add to cart" links in your New Products box which is building the URI wrong.

It shouldn't append &action=buy_now but should instead supply action=buy_now as a parameter to the zen_href_link function.

Change the code to do that and you should get working links.

You cannot resolve this by creating a URI for the link in your DB.. Fix your template, and you will fix your problem.. It's really that simple..

Hi,

Hi Conor, i am sorry i am pretty new to this..when you say chage the prameter..where do i do that and how? thanks for your help.

I'm really sorry but I can't teach PHP coding here.. if you can't do it you must pay a developer to do it for you.

I'd *guess* that the file to be edited is includes/modules/STORE_TEMPLATE/featured_products.php (or if that doesn't exist then includes/modules/feature_products.php) and that you are looking for the line that has

'text' =>

in it.

Somewhere on that line there is probably a

'<a href="' . zen_href_link(

Which creates the buy now buttons that are having '&action=buy_now appended when instead the command should have the action parameter set in the second parameter of the zen_href_link function:

zen_href_link(XXXXX, 'action=buy_now' ......

(Where XXX is the page name)

As I said, if the above doesn't mean much to you you should pay someone to help.

All the best..

If this code doesn't mean anything to you, and you don't want to pay someone to do it for you the other option is to use one of the many zen templates that are available in the downloads area that works with Ceon URI Mapping module.

I have a Zen Cart site with integrated PHP script (feed) that is importing products and takes care of the quantity.

Is it possible to make Ceon work with the feed?

As for all I have read I have to go through every of my 2000 products and activate the Ceon for each one?

I have tried to delete all products after installing Ceon and then import them through the feed but again - the urls have not been changed. I have to go through each product and activate it one by one.

Any tips on this please?

Hi,
I am running 1.39h with URI mapping 3.8
In Chrome, but also in IE I have this strange behaviour.

If I type www.a c q u a t u a.it the site opens regularly with the regular url.

If then I click on any category or product, the url becomes, in example, http://www.a c q u a t u a.it/filtro-acqua-everpure?zenid=8uiqq79numdahdno39sf8co0q7.

If I then re click on it, it appears the way I expect as: http://www.a c q u a t u a.it/filtro-acqua-everpure .
From the second click on, all the url appears normal no matter if you click on cat or product.

It looks like that URI needs to be "initialized" by the first click and then it works properly.

Nothing to worry about, just a strange effect I do not know why happens and I wanted to let know.

Regards
enzo

Hi enzo,

If then I click on any category or product, the url becomes, in example, http://www.a c q u a t u a.it/filtro-acqua-everpure?zenid=8uiqq79numdahdno39sf8co0q7.

The zenid is added by Zen Cart. Due to Ceon URI Mapping's canonical URI functionality it doesn't have any negative effects, however I agree that it's not very attractive.

I think it is added because Zen Cart doesn't have the necessary functionality in it to set the cookie path properly.

I'll be taking a wee look into this issue for version 4.0.0, I think I'll have to supply another modified core file to "fix" Zen Cart so that it can set the cookie path properly. (If that is actually the cause, as I suspect).

All the best..
