Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[conor]

HI,

Well, could be my bloody browser. .
Which one did you use to look it up?

I used Firefox 3.6 and had no problems with the zenid getting "stuck".

I have found that sometimes Firefox fails on me and keeps showing me old versions of sites.. at the weekend there I thought a website was down all weekend but looked in IE on Monday and it was up.. something in Firefox was caching the broken site (even after multiple Ctrl+F5s and closing the browser down!).. very strange, so think latest Firefox may have some problems.

Regardless, you should test in another browser.. if it works in one it should work in all as the software is browser agnostic. This is a way of confirming a software problem rather than a problem with the site.

All the best..

Conor - just wanted to say that I've just installed this module, followed the instructions to the letter and it all worked perfectly. It may require a little more effort than some SEO modules to get this set up and working, particularly for define pages, but it is well worth it. I'm very impressed.

Thanks

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the nice comments, they make the time spent on the software that bit more worthwhile. I'm glad the software is useful to you!

All the best...

Hello!

This addon is as i read about it great piece of code. I have also read that u are working on version 4.0, and i`m curious when u are planing to publish it? Because i have to decide to wait for 4.0 or just use 3.8 on my zencart project.

Thanks for answer and keep on doing your great work!

Conor JUST responded to a similar question three or four posts up...

Hi,



"When it's done". :)



When I click on www.e-boger.dk the links to the categories are like http://www.e-boger.dk/digte-og-lyrik?zenid=asdasd Once I click on http://www.e-boger.dk/digte-og-lyrik?zenid=asdasd all the links no longer have the ?zenid=asdasd appended. This is as expected.

If that's not happening for you it's something weird with your browser.

All the best..

Hi,

Because i have to decide to wait for 4.0 or just use 3.8 on my zencart project.

Just use 3.8.0 and upgrade to 4.0.0 when it's out.. 4.0.0 doesn't add many new features, it just does things better.

All the best...

Hi,

Hi, Ceon, if I want to add a slash "/" at the end of the uri for any page on my site when AUTOGEN, how to?

just like below:
/about-us
/about-us/

tks!

It doesn't do that. You'd have to modify the autogeneration function to have it add it.

The file this is in is

admin\includes\functions\extra_functions\ceon_uri_mapping.php

A simple way would be to change line 948 to

return $uri . (substr($uri, -1) != '/' ? '/' : ''); 

You'll have to make this change each time you upgrade the module.

All the best..

Hi, Conor, can it possible to add some code in the .htaccess file to get the same? if so, what about the code should be added in the .htaccess file, thanks!

Sorry, custom rewrite rules are not part of the free support offered by Ceon.. hopefully someone else can help you with this. You should start a new thread for this request.

All the best..

Newbie here...
deliberated for some weeks wethe to opt for this or not!
Decided I would... Installed all from v3.8.0 on the latest Zen.

Files in 'Files' and 'Overide' (dirs change acordingly)

Set .htaccess to :

RewriteEngine On

# 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} !^/changed_of_course [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]


And that's it.

When I add a new product I see not change in the address bar. Indeed if I edit a cat there is no change. Admin gave green light of success in 'modules' and switched on in config settings.

Ok ok ok I missed something! What? or I missunderstans and it's very late here lol.

Any pointers would be great... Thanks

Sorry for the above post... (Sunday evening alchofrol)

HTaccess:
# 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} !^/CHANGED [NC]
# Don't rewrite editors directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/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]

Admin is located in root

If I edit existing product Ceon shows the new URI and then I save.

Going to website I get a 404 on that product.

IE address bar shows Zen's URI not the new Ceon

Does that make any sence?

Thanks
