Hi,

To be honest it only ever turns out to be user error when installing.

I can take a quick look for you, send me FTP and admin details at this address.

Yes, the baby picture has worked. ;)

All the best...

Hi Connor, thank you, i'm gonna give it one last go with fresh eyes today, and if I am still stuck I will contact you :D

There was a problem with the configuration group and option being missing.. something must have happened when installing the module.

I've seen that happen once or twice before. I can't see any logical reason, it's just standard Zen Cart group creation SQL and works for 99.999% of people.

However, given that one or two people have had this same problem with Zen Cart, v4 automatically creates the group an option at ANY time, so if the SQL fails when the module is installed the module will repair itself at a later date, so this shouldn't happen to anyone ever again once they upgrade to v4 (due soon).

All the best...

Goodness folks, these free mods are supported by folks on their time and their dime.. NO ONE is gonna write a free mod that covers EVERY SINGLE Zen Cart configuration out there..

Wow, who got sand in your vagina? I wasn't complaining, I was commenting on some broken behaviour I thought I had found, and suggested a fix. I feel that it's useful to bring these experiences to Conor's attention, as the author of the mod. Please chill out and stop shouting. By the way, I'm about to donate, I don't want him to do this great work for free.

Hi Nick,
No, they don't.. by default the "example" rule just excludes files with a textual extension: .jpg, jpeg, .html, .shtml, .png, .pdf etc.

This is because most people don't have numbers in their file extensions, whereas some people might have a dot and a combination of numbers and letters in their URI, e.g.

/widgets/large-widget-10.3mm

You're absolutely right :) I ran into this myself, we have a product which results in "round-island-60cm-cooker-hood-with-led-mood-lighting-a94.6s" and of course my suggested rewrite rule breaks for that. I'll stick with my custom hack for mp4 files. I haven't looked closely at the "Excluded files" option in the config to see if this could be used for the same purpose, though I guess that would incur more processing overhead than the very lightweight mod_rewrite rule exclusion.

I've also just written my own bulk importer for the ceon_uri_mappings table.. 110 lines of php saved me sorting out 887 lines of data manually, while your Mappings Manager isn't available. Thanks for writing ceon_uri_mapping_autogen_category_or_product_uri() in such an easy-to-call way :)

Hi Nick,

It's not the excluded files functionality I was pointing you towards but the instructions about adding exceptions for file extensions.. I thought you'd be able to adjust things based on that easily enough. I'll add in a section about allowing specific extensions rather than simply adding specific extensions to be mapped.

The difference is just a ! - a negator.

Here's something which would work for you straight off, change your rule to:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(mp3|mp4)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-z]{2,5}$ [NC]

Easy!

And thanks for the donation.. it's greatly appreciated! :)

Dummy question but still want to confirm. I only found 1.3.9f in modified_core_files. Is it the latest and good for ZC 1.3.9h?

Hi,

As answered here many times, yes. ;)

Files specifically for 1.3.9h are in 4.0.0, due to be released this week.

It is a very long thread to be fair.. don't think I'd be fussed on reading it either.. this person should have searched it though, they would have found the answer straight away if they'd done so.

Regardless, this thread will be closed soon.

v4 is going out to release candidate testers today.

Support for 2.x-3.x will be dropped and only v4 will be supported, via a new thread on this forum.

Most issues mentioned in this thread are fixed or made easier to deal with in v4.. subsequent updates can provide solutions to additional "issues".

Upgrading from v4.0.0 to 4.0.1, 4.0.2 etc. wil be simple thanks to about a week's worth of upgrade/installation checking code having been added to the software!

At last it's nearly done!

All the best...

Conor I would be willing to test it out if you need me to. send it to my other email address if you need another tester.

Conor, we met the other day on zencart's business/seo thread: the "back button" problem.

Just wanted to let you know that I was surprised to notice that my test-control dress on Pageant-Mart.com with your CEON is now middle page 1 google, on my search result. Test site to be developed. No real page content. Right behind my dynamic url on Prommart.com

Search term: Flaunt 8824

Currently better performance than our two Magic seo sites; one professionally seo optimized (performing the worst on this term.)

Do not yet notice my dress with Simple SEO URL on another test site.

sph
https://www.prommart.com

If I currently do not have .htaccess file, just create one with following codes:

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]

Is that correct?

Whoa! And the only other two products/dresses are also now page 1 google (on my result)

Alyce 8886
Alyce 6590

Both on pageant-mart.com, just installed CEON few days ago. No real page content/optimization at all. Note that google picked up the CEON rewritten url.

What shall I make of this? :)

sph

https://www.prommart.com - main site, dynamic urls
https://www.pageant-mart.com - under development, just installed CEON URL

Replace above post.

If I currently do not have .htaccess file, just create one with following codes only in root or in all ZC directories that with index.php file?:

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]

Hi,

hara:

[]If I currently do not have .htaccess file, just create one with following codes only in root or in all ZC directories that with index.php file?:

Really? That's your question?

The answer is yes, create one in the root of the site, if your Zen Cart store is in the root of your site.

This is all described in the documentation, which you clearly aren't reading.

I've had to stop working on the new release for a few minutes to answer your question.. which only benefits you.

All the best...

Took another 18 hours to get to this stage but I've just e-mailed you a zip of RC1.

Just thought I'd post here in case the zip gets blocked by anti-spam software.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts (and hopefully not many bug reports! ;) ).

Hey Conor, I'll be happy to load up a copy on my test store too if you need more folks to test.. You have my contact data still I trust??:smile:
