DivaVocals:

This error in unrelated to the Ceon URI Mapping (SEO) module.. Did you perhaps post this in the wrong support thread??

Somebody has already posted this problem when using Sitemap XML with Ceon URI Mapping. He was advised to disable "Genarate language ID" in Sitemap XML setting. But this doesn't work for me. I'm having this problem since I've installed URI mapping so I guess it is related to this.

Hi,

dee_d_lady:

Somebody has already posted this problem when using Sitemap XML with Ceon URI Mapping. He was advised to disable "Genarate language ID" in Sitemap XML setting. But this doesn't work for me. I'm having this problem since I've installed URI mapping so I guess it is related to this.

First off, make sure you have made the correct changes to html_output.php - if they weren't made the you'll get a redirect problem.

If that's not it, then, sorry, but as you are the only one having this problem then you'll need manual debugging to find out why.

Ask your developer to debug this for you, to find out what URIs are redirects.

In a standard installation of Ceon URI Mapping, setting things as you mentioned above means that things work fine.. if things aren't working fine either you've messed up installing or something's wrong on your site.. the module is not the source of the problems.

All the best..

I'm working on a zen cart that is using an index.html as a cover page until the cart is ready.

I installed uri mapper last night and now the index.html won't load. The site opens to index.php.

I disabled the last line of the htaccess rule

RewriteRule .* index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Doing this allows the index.html page to load but now the index.php won't load at all. The site remains on the index.html. Well I can't get any work done that way so I have to re-enable that.

Next I tried adding this .(html) rule

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.[a-zA-Z]{2,5}$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .(html)$ [NC]

That didn't help. I need the index.html page to load first and still allow the index.php to load when called for directly by adding index.php to the main url

Is there something I can add to the htaccess file so this can happen?

I don't know how to write htaccess rules. I'm a copy/paste kind of gal when it comes to htacess.

Why not simply create a subdomain and put your store there until you are ready to go live. It's easy enough to transfer from your development store from the subdomain to your production (live) store location. This way you can develop the store in a place that others may not know the URL and leave your placeholder index.html in place.. PLUS you'll have a parallel place to do testing away from your live store should you need to make changes/updates to your live store.

I don't know how to write htaccess rules. I'm a copy/paste kind of gal when it comes to htacess.I strongly suggest you get yourself up to speed on .htaccess files and how they work so that when you copy and paste you are understanding what you are copying and what you are pasting.. I don't profess to know ALL the ins and outs of Unix directives, but I do know Google is a wonderful resource for getting yourself up to speed. It's exactly how I learned how to use .htaccess to password protect a folder.

BTW.. NONE of this has anything to do directly with the **Ceon URI Mapping (SEO) **module.. ie: the issue you are having is not directly cause by this module.. So I do suggest that any further discussions on this topic should be in a separate thread..

Any luck getting this functionality to work, or have you discovered any workarounds? I have a CSV file of 1000+ products waiting to be uploaded. :)

To answer this question (again), in the detailed readme written for this mod, Conor has provided basic instructions for manually adding URI's to the DB.

Using the information from the readme, if you want to take the next steps required to upload your URI's to the database from a spreadsheet, you will have to roll up your sleeves a little and do some research on how to upload Excel spreadsheets to a mySQL database.

Which is what I did. Here's are the high level steps I took to achieve this:

1. Exported my product/category data to a CSV file
2. Editing the CSV, I added in the URI data
3. Imported my finalized URIs to my database
   I researched the correct way to import data to a mySQL database by using Google to get this information. (you can also call your hosting company.. tech support will be happy at most companies to assist you)

For anyone who thinks this work is over their heads, I suggest hiring and having a professional do this work for you.

Finally if you take a few minutes to travel over to Conor's website you will see that there is a commercial module Ceon is developing (not yet released) that will do this work for you. Conor CANNOT TALK COMMERCIAL MODULES ON THIS SUPPORT THREAD (before anyone thinks about posting a question about this module here) which is why he will not answer questions about this module here..

Hi,

buildingblocks:

I installed uri mapper last night and now the index.html won't load. The site opens to index.php.

This is because Ceon URI Mapping sees index.php, index.php?main_page=index and / all as the same (which is a good thing ;) ).

You basically want to temporarily have '/' as '/index.html' but '/' is currently assigned to '/index.php'.

You should be able to have /index.html take control of / by adding the following to the rewrite rule:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/$

This stops / being rewritten and passed on to /index.php

All the best..

Hi

This is my very first post, so if I am not adhering to all the rules, please be patient.

my site is: http://bag-a-party.co.za/shop

Zen Cart 1.3.9h is installed in the directory called shop.

I have two questions:

1.) Is CEON URI Mapping version 3.8.0 the latest available version?

2.) If so, will it work with my version of Zen Cart (1.3.9h).

[ I see in the /ceon_uri_mapping__3.8.0_for_zc folder that it only seems to cater for up to 1.3.9f.

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/images/smilies/oops.gif
Sorry. I should have scanned through the forum first. I've found the answers.

So version 3.8.0 of Ceon URI Mapping (currently the latest) does work with version 1.3.9h of Zen Cart.:oops:

Searched the post before this... sorry if Im duplicating..

Zen Cart 1.3.9h, using the core files from 1.3.9d, two languages, no core modifications. CEON works ok for Categories, Products, etc.. except ezpages... Just generates the normal URI, nothing like /contact_us...

I can edit the ezpage and choose to autogenerate or to type in, they are recorded in db and if I browse to /new-products it works, pero the ezpages menu is not outputting the URI.

Ive gone though the instructions 5 times..

Is there and other html_output.php to be merged other than
1.3.9d\includes\functions\html_output.php??

Why could this be?

Thx in advanced!

Hi,

bunker0:

Why could this be?

I just tested and I can get this behaviour on a test site that has Ultimate SEO URLs enabled but disabled.

In the list of "Enter pages to allow rewrite" (In config - SEO URLs), when "page" is in that list, the Ceon URI Mapping links aren't generated.

I know of no other circumstances that this fails.. basically when zen_href_link is used, Ceon URI Mapping's URI mappings will always be used instead of Zen Cart's dynamic ones.

So check if Ultimate SEO URLs and either remove its code from html_output.php or adjust its settings as above, allowing it to rewrite NO pages.

Hope that helps.

Hi. I wonder if someone can help. I've only started using ZenCart for the first time recently, although I do have experience of quite a few other shopping cart systems.

All is generally going well, although I recently installed the Ceon URI Mapping plugin.

Most things seem to be in order with it, including the URL changing to what I setup in each category. However, while it does rewrite the URL in the address bar, it loads the homepage content rather than the category page content.

I've been on to the host about it to check whether mod_rewrite is on and, after further testing, can confirm that redirects and rewrites ARE being allowed. I just cannot get the Ceon related rewrites to work. I've taken the sample .htaccess code from their configuration pages:

*RewriteEngine On

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} !^/admin [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]*

... but all I get is the result described above. I'm not any sort of expert when it comes to htaccess, although I've used them at a basic level a lot, so it may be an obvious answer. I think i've narrowed it down to something in the last line and possibly an error in how the query string is being handled. If that was the case, then it would make sense that it's loading the content from index.php rather than the full category querystring URL, which in this case would be: index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1013_1194

Can anyone help with this at all?

cheers.

Are you sure you're using mod_rewrite?

And not some other web server with a different rewrite module? There can be incompatibilities between them.

This must be to do with the multilanguage mods you've made then.

Ceon URI Mapping 4.0.0 will be coming with premodified files for this module (don't know why it was never made part of Zen Cart but ho hum).

As that is the case and this issue isn't critical I'm going to have to say to you to wait for the new version.

Better that I work on it, rather than spend time helping individuals.

Hoping to have the new version out this month, time and health permitting.

I've asked about mod_rewrite a couple of times and they've never actually confirmed whether it is or isn't working. The latest input from the host as a sample URL rewrite was ...

RewriteRule something http://www.ClientsDomain.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1026_1159 [R=301]

... which does work. Meaning when i go to https://www.ClientsDomain.com/something, it loads the content from the querystring URL but keeps the friendly version.

Not sure if it helps or not, but the host is JSWeb.

Hi,

webboy:

Not sure if it helps or not, but the host is JSWeb.

I thought maybe you wrre using a windows server or something (i.e. not Apache).

I've experience with JSWeb before. Their servers work perfectly with Ceon URI Mapping.

So I'm afraid this problem isn't to do with that. I don't know what's wrong on your site, you must have installed something wrongly?

Try installing the module again, from scratch.

Sorry I can't be more help than that.

All the best...
