Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[hockey2112]

Hi,



It's definitely not the module, it doesn't change the content of your href tags other than to change the URI generated. It sounds like you've accidentally broken some link code in a template file. Check to see if one of yotu template files has something like the following in it:

<?php echo zen_href_link(...) . ' class="

insetad of something like

<?php echo zen_href_link(...) . '" class="

This would cause "class =" to be added to the end of the URIs.

Good luck in getting this sorted!

All the best...

Conor,

Thank you for your insight. I have begun my search for the offending code. Nothing yet, but hopefully soon...

If/when a solution is found, I will post it here just in case anyone else comes across the same issue in the future.

Thanks again!

Thanks again!

The issue was related to an attempt I made to highlight the link for the "current" EZ Page. I reverted the file in question (ezpages_bar_header.php) and the problem is now resolved.

Many thanks to gjh42 for pointing this issue out in another thread.

Hi

I have Ceon URI Mapping mod installed. There are some links on my sites I want to apply rel="nofollow". Will that be possible even though the urls are re-written?

thanks

Yes, the software doesn't change the way the HTML works in the background, you can make any changes like this that you desire!

All the best..

I'm in the process of updating our shopping cart and eventually adding the URI Mapping. I just updated to 1.3.9h and installed the 1.3.9d version of Ceon URI mapping which was suggested for "h". The part I think I'm stuck on is the .htaccess file. I'm trying it out first on my "test" installation, so it's located in a folder called "zen" and my admin file is "adminTVC". Here is my .htaccess file:

#

# @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0
# @version $Id: .htaccess 16111 2010-04-29 22:39:02Z drbyte $
#
# This is used with Apache WebServers
#
# The following blocks direct HTTP requests to all filetypes in this directory recursively, except certain 

approved exceptions
# It also prevents the ability of any scripts to run. No type of script, be it PHP, PERL or whatever, can 

normally be executed if ExecCGI is disabled.
# Will also prevent people from seeing what is in the dir. and any sub-directories
#
# For this to work, you must include either 'All' or at least: 'Limit' and 'Indexes' parameters to the 

AllowOverride configuration in your apache/conf/httpd.conf file.
# Additionally, if you want the added protection offered by the OPTIONS directive below, you'll need to 

add 'Options' to the AllowOverride list, if 'All' is not specified. 
# Example:
#<Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">
#  AllowOverride Limit Options Indexes
#</Directory>
###############################
DirectoryIndex index.php

# deny *everything*
<FilesMatch ".*\..*">
  Order Allow,Deny
  Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

# but now allow just *certain* necessary files:
<FilesMatch "(^$|^favicon.ico$|.*\.(php|js|css|jpg|gif|png)$)">
  Order Allow,Deny
  Allow from all
</FilesMatch>


IndexIgnore */*

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/frontend [NC]
# Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (index.php)
RewriteRule .* /zen/index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

I can't figure out how to overcome the 404 error I'm getting on all pages. Any suggestions?

Here is my .htaccess file:

Two things.

First, you shouldn't install Ceon URI Mapping on a "test" site that's in a subfolder.

You must instead set up a test site or a test subdomain.

E..g yourtestsite.yourdomain.com

Otherwise when you change the test site to be the real site you will have to enter/generate ALL your URI mappings again. Every single one!

Second, you have to create a .htaccess file in the shop's main directory or add the rule to any existing .htaccess file in the shop's main directory. You do NOT add the rule to the .htaccess file in the admin folder.

All the best..

Hi,
I have a strange problem.
I had Ceon URI installed and working perfectly.
After that I had to change some files in order to adequate the functionality to the Italian version and I overwrote the italian version of the admin and includes folders and everyting was working fine.
After that I noticed that obviously the automatic creation of the url was not working anymore but the simplyfied urls were still there.
I then reinstalled the Ceon URI software version 3.80 but nothing changed. The page were you insert the product has not the checkbox to ask the software to create the simplyfied url neither the field proposing the url is shown.
I can not understand why CEON URI it is not working now.
The db was not touched and both the configure and module section of the admin page are there and seems to work.
I think there is a file that it is not in the right place or that is ovverridden by the italian version, but I do not have idea of which file I shoud look for.
Can you help me?
Thanks

enzo

Hi Enzo,

I overwrote the italian version of the admin and includes folders

The is no Italian version of the admin folders. You can create an Italian version of the *language* files but not any other type of file.

The page were you insert the product has not the checkbox to ask the software to create the simplyfied url neither the field proposing the url is shown.

Then, simply the software hasn't been installed properly. You haven't applied the core file changes.

Once you do that the functionality will return.

All the best..

Welllllllllll
I can not belive it, but I have been so stupid to not do the installation completely.
What is worse is that I was convinced to have done all the installation process carefully.
May be I am getting too old for these things.
However...you were right, now it works like before.
Thanks

It's easily done! Sometimes I write Zen Cart support emails in my head and then forget that I didn't actually write the email in real life and the person the contacts me reminding me to get back to them! :)

Glad everything's sorted now.

All the best...
