Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

There a way to remove ?&language=en from the end of some of my urls... Google is saying I have duplicate title tags because of it

I was able to resolve it. not a uri issue. It was a sitemap issue.

Hi,

That all looks okay. Which means it's probably something custom on your server I'm afraid.

You should be able to manually trace this by randomly outputting the contents of the server variables (using var_dump) and seeing where the index.php?main_page is being brought in. (Could be some mod changing the environment somehow, could be your webserver, I'm not sure).

Sorry I can't be of more help than that, but that's what I'd have to do in your situation to find out why that is happening and fix this behaviour.. on our server it sticks with / all the time (as it should do).

All the best..

So I found the var that calls it up $var_linksList[$i]['link'];
My template called for another template for those elements in tpl_ezpages_bar_header.php
Within there is where I found $var_linksList[$i]['link'];

Anyone know where those are called up? Or how to find it?

Wow... so those variables are defined withing the easy pages in the admin>tools Talk about looking too deep into things... got it taken care of. Thanks

Hi,

Possibly. It's impossible to tell without knowing what paths are throwing 404s!

It should be easy enough to go through your logs, see what paths are causing 404s, checking if a file is missing from that path or it the URI rewrite rule is blocking access to that path and adding an exception for that path. all the info you need for adding exceptions is in the documentation.

All the best...

I've looked at this for a few days now and I can't seem to find any problems with the Rewrite text. I have noticed, however that when first appearing on my website if I hover the mouse over the (e.g) "Grasses" Category it shows an address of: ####/grasses?zenid=aad36069f1933f5c5c54b8124093a24c but if its actually clicked it turns to: ####/grasses and remains so for the rest of the session. Actually once any one link is clicked then all the links appear as they should using your URI Mapping. Could this first click actually be the log error thats appearing? Is what I just explained, with the link, supposed to happen? Cheers.

Sorry to bother you...

Simply go to Modules > URI Mapping Config in the Admin and the database tables will be automatically created.

This at the moment links me to a blank page, is this right there is no mention of this in the instructions...

Also

Go to Configuration > URI Mapping (SEO) in the Zen Cart admin, the option to disable/enable the module can be changed there.

This option is not in the menu structure yet, I assume this is an upload error on my behalf or as a result of the first blank page not creating the tables...

any help would be great

Is this everyone elses experience here??

Hi, Conor, I use Easy Populate to generate thousand of my products one time, if I use Ceon URI Mapping, does it means I have to update every products one by one? or do you have any ways to solve this problem when using Easy Populate mod?

thanks for your kindness... i like your mod very much!

I just installed the module and followed all instruction and used the sample rewrite rule. My problem is that the mapping fields are not there when I go to edit a product or category? I hope this is just a simple mistake. My add new category/product pages are the same as before the mod. Any help would be great.

Hi Simon,

simonbbc:

My admin folder is called "this admin" and my shop folder is "automotiveshop" but when I modify the code I get an Internal Server error.......:blush:

You can't use spaces in URIs!

You must rename your admin folder.

As for the blank page issue you are encountering, that implies a PHP error is occuring. Please search the forums for hints on what to do about this, hopefully that will help you find the source of the problem easily!

All the best..

Quite simply, you haven't fnished installing the module. At the very least you've missed copying across the files from the modified_core_files folder.

Follow the installation instructions again, making sure to follow all the steps and you should be fine!

Be careful with the merging of any modified core files of course!

All the best..

Should I have the little box ticked for the auto-gen if it is an already existing product?

Also I want to say thanks conor for this great mod and for your quick reply!

Hi,

Tick it and click preview/update if you want to generate a new URI. Otherwise enter your own URI (or don't enter anything and leave the box unticked and no URI will apply for the product).

All the best..

Hey one last thing, Can you change the URl for for example the shipping & returns page or the contact us page?

Hi,

Yes, these are referred to as "other" Zen Cart pages in the docs. Instructions are there on how to manually add mappings for these pages using software such as PHPMyAdmin.

Thanks Conor

I have implemented the new admin URL and have searched forums for answers on the blank page once I click the config option under Modules...
Can anyone give me a clue so I can find a bit of help on this issue please I seem to just come up with nothing that relates to it other than my post on this forum....

Cheers

I have installed this missed out the book core files as it says you dont need to install these, everything else has been installed but all I get now in the admin is a big fat white page??

What is the reason for this?

bump.....

Is this anyone elses experience here??

I've looked at other peoples sites, that are using this mod, and it seems mine is the only one displaying this behaviour. Do you have any ideas what the problem is Conor? Anyone??

Hi,

piker:

You won't get any quicker or extra support from me by bumping posts.

Zen Cart adds the session ID, many sites I've seen add it and then remove it. There's nothing I can do about that, I suggest you just ignore it.. search engines know about session IDs I'm sure!

All the best..

You should have found information about PHP errors and displaying these errors etc. Nevertheless.. please send me FTP and admin details for your site via this link and I'll take a **very **quick look to see if I can see what's up.

All the best..
