Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

Hi,

NateL:

I understand Conor. For what it's worth, your instructions did help me to figure things out. I just had to fiddle around with it before I got it right, and I figured a more real world example of what I just went through would help some one out. My example is lengthy, but you're free to C&P all you want :yes: :D

Thanks! Glad you're sorted now! :)

All the best...

Conor

Hi,

deltaflyer:

I am using other encoding - Not UTF-8 in other language (Thai)
Can I use the URL Rewrite ? I try the URI Mapping it show as Blank space...

The module has extensive support for character encodings. It has full support for iso-8859-1/us-ascii and utf-8/utf7-imap. For any other encodings it attempts to use iconv and converts character sets into UTF-8 for internal processing and transliteration.

If this isn't working on your server then either you don't have a working iconv setup or the THAI encoding you are using simply won't work with the String handling this software uses. In which case you should use UTF-8 on your site or abandon any idea to use the module.

All the best...

Hi there,

I'm encountering 404 Not Found page (that says The server can not find the requested page) when I log in via the login sidebox on those product pages with URI mapping. It seems SSL URI mapping links (e.g., https://.../diecast/1-72-f-a-18-super-hornet-diecast-50179) are inaccessible.

How can I get this fixed?

Many thanks,
Brian

Zen Cart doesn't support UTF-8 as standard. Have you "installed" the following module? It sets the database handler to using UTF-8, which is essential and the lack of this may be causing your problems:

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=601

Hope that helps!

It seems like you have a problem with your SSL configuration value for HTTPS_SERVER and/or the login sidebox is trying to use relative instead of full URIs.. no URI mapping software can use links which use "../" - it makes no sense!

You always need to use full paths as Zen Cart is no longer access from /shop/index.php (for example) but from things like /category-name/sub-category-name/product-one

Hope that helps!

Thanks! Installing UTF-8 support will update shortly!!

I don't editing the files and convert all the table to UTF-8 but still no luck T_T

What do you mean by "still no luck". You haven't exacxtly explained what's going wrong!

If you are getting a blank page then please search this forum for "blank page" and you'll see some steps you can take to find out what error is occurring. It could be this is nothing to do with encodings?

Hi Conor,

Thanks for your quick reply. Sorry that I didn't state it clearly. Actually I can access to "http://www.bnamodelworld.com/diecast/1-400-australia-qantas-a330-200-vh-ebb-diecast-55575?zenid=fd30092e51bda250d82843b582ccb83e" but not to the SSL link "**https://web67.justhost.com/~bnamode1/**diecast/1-400-australia-qantas-a330-200-vh-ebb-diecast-55575?zenid=fd30092e51bda250d82843b582ccb83e" as an example.

Thanks again,
Brian

Hi Brain,

You need to buy and install a SSL certificate for http://www.bnamodelworld.com/ instead of trying to use two domains, with the SSL domain using a subdirectory.. that won't work.

Sorry,
Now I can use the UTF-8 as my encoding but I think I have to convert all of the languages files.

The problem is when I enter thai language in the URI Mapping fileds. It show as "blank" such as http://fashionbyim.com/shop/

Hi,

That should be easy enough, although a little time-consuming.

I'm afraid I've no idea what you are trying to describe here. Please give a full and detailed description of the problem.. all the steps you are taking, what you are seeing and what you expect to see.

Hi,

At least you get paid for it! ;P Unlike a lot of OS software developers I do what I can to write good docs.. I really do hate the process though.. months of work... ugh! :)I LOVE the requirements interviewing process.. I love mapping out process diagrams.. But having to put the document all together.. Not so much.. I may get paid for it, but it's frustrating to put in weeks of blood sweat and tears only to have people not read what you wrote at all:frusty:.. (it happens.. another occupational hazard:laugh:)

Anyway GREAT job on Ceon.. Expect a donation VERY soon!:smile: I've also been looking at your other apps.. Your MONDO shipping app looks like something a potential client and I were just speaking of..

Sorry for my English.
I am trying to write a full description here.

Now UTF-8 Problem is resovled.
The problems are...
1.When I enter thai language in the URI Mapping field (Back-end) for the category it become "blank" so the URL show "http://fashionbyim.com/shop" which shuold become http://fashionbyim.com/shop/my-enter-uri
2.I tried to edit the table zen_ceon_uri_mappings directly via phpMyadmin the URL show correct as http://fashionbyim.com/shop/my-enter-uri BUT when I click the link it show page not found error.

Thanks

Hi Conor,

Actually I have already installed the SSL certificate for my domain. So it really confuses me why the page cannot be accessed to when logging in from those product pages.

Thanks again,

Hi Brian,

Sorry about the misspelling of your name above.. although that's probably the best typo you could want! :)

bnamodel:

I'm afraid you don't have a compatible certificate. You have a shared certificate. You need to buy your own. The address you showed me above has an extra directory name at the start, over the standard site's address : **~bnamode1/
**
You cannot use that. It will not work.

You should contact your host to purchase a SSL certificate or install any previously purchased certificate so that the only difference between your SSL and normal addresses is the s in https:// versus http://

If the URI mapping isn't being saved correctly when you are entering it in the product page and going to the product preview page then it definitely won't work if you try to go to this URI on your site!

I understand that you are also trying to enter the URIs by hand. You may be messing up when entering these, I don't know I'm afraid.

The main problem is the fact that it's not saving in the first place, and in this regard, I don't know what's wrong with your site.

Sorry, there's nothing else I can think of to say to you to do. This would have to be debugged using trace calls by a PHP programmer.

All the best...
