Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

conor:

Hi,

I searched the templates folder and can see that the following:

zen_draw_hidden_field('main_page'

> 
> is in the files
> 
> /includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_advanced_search_default.php
> /includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_gv_faq_default.php
> /includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_product_list.php
> /includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_modules_listing_display_order.php
> 
> Hope that helps.

> All the best..

Thank you so much, it was the line in /includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_advanced_search_default.php which needed removing to get to what I wanted.

Many thanks for your help !!

Hi Conor,

conor:

When you say WAMP, did you install Apache, PHP etc. yourself?

Check that the VirtualHost configs for the two local sites are the same.. you may have enabled overrides in one (AllowOverides) but not in the other, meaning the .htaccess file won't work in one.
ceon

Yes, I installed it as per the setup instructions.

I have changed the apache2.2/Conf/httpd.conf file to AllowOverride All but it makes no difference.

The config files in includes and admin/includes for the two sites appear identical, but neither have an AllowOverride line.

Would it make a difference if the ReWrite rule was in the VirtualHost Directive? If so, how do I do that? I haven't found instructions on the forum or on other websites. I think it must be that obvious that no-one explains it, but I'm afraid I don't know.

Thanks for your help so far.

Hi,

Ousel:

No, that's not what I asked. It sounds like you haven't installed the software separately, downloading each piece of software from their individual sites. That's the setup I'm familiar with, it sounds like you have downloaded some installer which takes shortcuts. This may be what is wrong, it might only support hosting one site.

I don't know, it might. I prefer to have the rule in a VirtualHost directive and to disable overrides as it gives better server performance.

To put a rewriterule in a virtualhost directive just put in inside the directive instead of a .htaccess file. You'll need to make sure the path for the rule starts with a slash instead of index.php (/index.php).

Ousel:

Thanks for your help so far.

I hope you don't mind but, except for posting whether you got things working or not I'd rather you didn't post back on this thread, as this problem isn't to do with the module but your configuration of your desktop.. if you require further help please start a new thread.

Have a nice weekend.

All the best..

Thank you countrycharm!! The second one worked minus one line.

That line was

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.your.com/$1 [R=301,L]

and has completely broken the intended functionality of the code.

That line was

and has completely broken the intended functionality of the code.
.htaccess examples Conor and I or anybody else provides are just that examples. Any .htaccess has to be modified to work depending on what type of server you are running. All servers are not the same therefore if one .htaccess file works for one person it may not necessary work for another person.:no:

Look again at what was deleted and the context.

The internal rewrite now only works when the hostname is non-www.

Requesting any part of the site at www probably now results in a 404 error message.

Hi,
I have installed mailhive and I have a problem with cronless that is not able to launch the job.
After lots of searching, I found that disabling CEON URI mapping cronless can launch the job.

Please see http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1003605&postcount=303 and subsequent posts on this matter.

I think the problem could be solved simply by adding a line in htaccess telling to not rewrite a file url but, I do not know the sintax used to write the rule.
Can some one help me?

Thanks

Hello conor,
How are you,hope you have a good day,
my website use the Ceon url mapping very well, and these days I found a isuue, which is a problem for me, it production two different address for one same product
for example:

1. when I visit my website, then click the sub catagory, then I click one product like hyundai 145 DVD, then it displayed http://www.jewellet.com/Hyundai-I45-DVD-Player/Hyundai-I45-Navigation
   this link is correct just as I manual generated.

but when I click the top of the small flash show of product, see this

when you click the right or left button on the top flash picture,
then it make another link like http://www.jewellet.com/6-2-quot--Hyundai-i45-DVD-Player-with-touch-screen--USB--SD--AM-FM-radio--Bluetooth--Ipod-and-GPS-map-with-2G-SD-card_p727.html

and both link can visit, is there any ways to display the same one? Thank you very much.

I would guess that whatever the path to the cron script is that you need to add it to the rewrite rule as an exclusion like the cpanel/admin lines.. and/or you need to add the path to the exclusions section of Ceon URI Mapping Config in the admin.

There's more information about how to do both in the software distribution's FAQs.

All the best..

Hi Alan,

Thanks, I'm afraid I'm going to be quite unwell for quite a few months so won't be posting here as often.

That old link is obviously some old SEO module URI, which has most likely been hard-coded into the image-browser thingy. You need to get your developer to recode this to use zen_href_link().

All the best..

Sorry to hear that Conor. Take your time and rest a few Months you deserve it. Maybe you will start feeling better by the time it warms up. Nothing is more important than your health. Have a nice day my friend.

Yes, I like the way you take care about questions. :clap:

After reading the documentation you mentioned, I have added this rule in htaccess

require('mailhive.php');

But no success.
Instead my site become unreachable.
I do not pretend that you solve my problems however.
If I can not solve this, I will keep running mailhive manually.
All the best.

Ok I did it on my own.

I just mod the file includes/extra_datafiles/ceon_uri_mapping_config.php
adding what in red and voilà it works perfectly now.

$ceon_uri_mapping_excluded_files = array(
'ipn_main_handler.php',
'mailhive.php',
'nochex_apc_handler.php',
'localities_remote_loader.php',
'iridium_3d_secure_iframe.php',
'protx_direct_3d_secure_iframe.php',
'realex_remote_3d_secure_iframe.php',
'sage_pay_direct_3d_secure_iframe.php',
'ceon_cardsave_direct_3d_secure_iframe.php',

Hi,
I just installed Ceon, and it seems the installation was ok.
I then went to one of the products, and checked the
TEXT_URI_MAPPING_PRODUCT_URIS_AUTOGEN
at the end of the page.

After refreshing I get a 404, and notice in the address bar that while it has rewritten the uri, but has left
?zenid=ucu493kk3rtqtgvju9do9rocc0
at the end of it
the_site/bracelets/amber-bracelet-0101?zenid=ucu493kk3rtqtgvju9do9rocc0

Can you please tell me what is wrong?

I don't know if it can be related, but in the admin>modules I see all the references like this
admin>modules>BOX_CEON_URI_MAPPING

HEADING_TITLE

TEXT_AUTOGEN_CONFIG
TEXT_LABEL_AUTOGEN_ENABLED_NEW TEXT_CONFIG_DESC_AUTOGEN_ENABLED_NEW

TEXT_LABEL_WHITESPACE_REPLACEMENT TEXT_CONFIG_DESC_WHITESPACE_REPLACEMENT
TEXT_LABEL_CAPITALISATION TEXT_CONFIG_DESC_CAPITALISATION

TEXT_CAPITALISATION_LOWERCASE
TEXT_CAPITALISATION_AS_IS
TEXT_CAPITALISATION_UCFIRST
Thank you.

Go back and check your installation of the module. You have not install it right. Make sure you have renamed the admin folder to your custom folder name before uploading the files.

Thanks, I had renamed the admin folder, and indeed I do see the module in admin>modules.
I'll nevertheless check back.

Hi,

I reported problems with CEON URI mapping module and Sitemap XML. Problems is that google webmaster tool says:

HTTP Error: 301 and

URLs not followed
When we tested a sample of URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs redirect to other locations. We recommend that your Sitemap contain URLs that point to the final destination (the redirect target) instead of redirecting to another URL.

What is the problem? and how to solve it?

Thanks in advance for prompt help!
Br, Tomek

Without a link to your site and the URLs that Google took issue with, it would be a shot in the dark to help you resolve your issue..

You will need to provide much more explicit details on your situation..

That's not the right way to do it.. it works but you should simply have added

mailhive.php

Into the files to be excluded section of the config!

Not the command "require(..."! :)

All the bet..

The zenid is added by Zen Cart and is not a problem.. it is caused because Zen Cart's cookie handling isn't great with static URIs (it was never built to use static URIs).

I'll be hopefully patching Zen Cart with version 4.0.0 of Ceon URI Mapping to fix it.

No, that's because you haven't uploaded the language file for the admin.. upload all the files again, taking care to upload them one by one as your FTP software may not be very good. If you still have problems, check you are uploading to the "correct" admin folder (not "admin") and that the files have uploaded successfully. If they haven't, use better FTP software.

As for the 404, that means you don't have a working rewriterule/.htaccess file in place. Follow the configuration instructions to add one.

All the best..
