Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

conor:

Hi,

Linked products must have a cPath otherwise Zen Cart breaks and can't display the correct category; it would only be able to use the master category for a product if the cPath information wasn't available to maintain "context" on your site.

Just ignore the cPath you can't do anything about it and it does no harm, the canonical URI for the linked products is that of the product itself so there are no duplicate content issues.

Hope that sets your mind at rest!

All the best..

That was a great explanation on how it works thank you. My mind is now at ease.

Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help please!
When I go to Admin/Modules/Ceon URI Mapping (SEO) Config - The page loads OK but when I click save I get an error from the hosting company ; -

"Error 400: Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

Probable reasons are:

* You sent a plain HTTP request to an SSL-enabled server port. Instead please use the HTTPS protocol to access this URL, like this: <https://example.com:8443/>
* You made a typo in the request, e.g., typed a comma instead of a colon. Please re-check the URL.

Please contact your webmaster if you are not sure what goes wrong."

Any ideas how I might fix this?

Hi Tim,

aworldofpets.co.uk:

Any ideas how I might fix this?

It sounds like you have a very unusual Zen Cart admin setup and that the Ceon URI Mapping Config page is being loaded as a HTTPS:// (SSL) page but then the form link being built is to a non-SSL (HTTP://) version of the page.

Maybe you have custom admin software installed or something?

The quickest way to fix this would be to hard code the form action URI in the file admin/ceon_uri_mapping_config.php

That should be all the information you need to fix this. Please get your web developer to sort things out if you don't understand what I mean by any of the above.

All the best...

Hi Conor,
Thanks for the speedy reply - unfortunately I don't have the luxury of a developer :/ . I will look into doing this however I think its time to reinstall a fresh zen cart and Ceon URI as I'm having a few problems at the moment with links being clicked and it sticking on the same page.
Regards,
Tim.

Just an update to say it was a hosting issue.
Cheers,
Tim.

hi
http://www.fashion-jewellery.ca/cartier-jewelry/cartier-trinity-bracelet
This is my website page.

I do for cross sell module add a buy now button.

But check on the buy now botton, buy A, into shipping cart is B.

In Ceon URI display this mistake.

botton Code:

$lc_button = '<a target=_blank href="' . zen_href_link($_GET['main_page'], zen_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_BUY_NOW, BUTTON_BUY_NOW_ALT, 'class="listingBuyNowButton"') . '</a>';

Hi,

Sorry but that's nothing to do with this module. You should have a developer check this out for you.

I am trying to add this addon to zen cart 1.3.9d. there are so many core files changed in admin/ and includes/. Is there an easy way to find out if those files are already changed by other mods? Thanks!

Please follow the instructions.

Use software such as Beyond Compare to compare all the files. There is no other way to see if they've been modified already for other mods.

It really doesn't take that long. Just download your site's files and compare them against the files in the modified_core_files folder and copy the modifications for Ceon URI Mapping across, they are clearly marked.

All the best..

HI Conor,

Great MOD BTW :) Thanks

I have this running on a client site and it has been fine for several months.

Now we have a issue, when clicking on the edit product link, we get the following error:-

1146 Table 'trojantimberproducts.zen_ceon_uri_mappings' doesn't exist
in:
[ SELECT language_id, uri FROM zen_ceon_uri_mappings WHERE main_page = 'product_info' AND associated_db_id = '2' AND current_uri = '1';]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

We had a MySQL crash and restore from backup, this caused us to loose a few tables, unfortunately.

We have also recently started to run PHP5 as well as our PHP4 in parallel on this hosting server.

I have re-run the install and from what i can see the DB tables have not been created.

Can you provide sql script to manually create the tables.

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your troubles but glad you like the software!

No, the module is only supported when it uses its normal installation procedure. You can get the SQL from the source but I don't recommend that approach as more is done by the auto-installation software than simply creating a table.

You may have still got the configuration table but lost the main mappings table. If so you must DROP the configuration table and then go to Ceon URI Mapping Config in the admin so that the auto-installation can run.

Hope that helps!

All the best..

Yes, it and Directory Opus are the two bits of software which keep me locked into using Windoze day to day.. they have no equivalent on other platforms unfortunately and life would be so much harder without them! :)

Hi Conor,

Thanks for your speedy response & support :)

I have neither of the tables in the DB.

What is the best way to diagnose this issue?

Kind regards

Jamie

Hi,

jamie2k:

I have neither of the tables in the DB.

Then have you simply not installed the software by following the installation procedure in the documentation?

If the issue isn't user error then please contact me via this address with admin and FTP details and I'll take a look.

I just shot you an email, bud!

I am here now because I want to sing your praises from the mountaintop.

Conor,
YOU ROCK!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Seriously, this is an AWESOME mod and you did a bang up job. Thank you so much for all your hard work. And thank you for the direct help you gave me!

To anybody else using this mod who has not yet contributed financially, I hope that you will reconsider.

Think about this... why do you want this mod? Because you are smart enough to know that this mod will massively increase traffic on your site.

If you build a good site with good content, then you have a fighting chance. But if you then add this mod (+ the sitemapXML), then you have a recipe for serious SEO success. And THAT is worth money!

Your contribution will encourage brilliant minds like Conor to continue pondering innovations that further increase the effectiveness of your websites. If you are serious about making money, you should be serious about making sure those who help you to do so are remunerated.

Anyway, I'll shut up.

Conor... seriously, you rule bud.

Yes it would be nice if everyone would consider giving a donation to the one's who do go out of the way for us. Conor does just that with this module.

Hi Conor,

Loving the mod so far - so much easier to implement than other URL rewriting mods!

One question, in ZenCat version 1.3.9d the auto generate feature only works on new categories & products added to the site AFTER the mod has been installed right?

Have you (or anyone else) got the SQL code to loop through all the existing categories & products and add values to the MySQL table 'ceon_uri_mappings'

I could probably figure it out myself - but thought I would ask first?!

(Or might just tell the client it can't be done and make them edit & save all the existing cats and products!)

Thanks in advance
Laura

Thanks very much for that, it is probably the brightest post I've ever seen on a support thread for one of our modules! I'm very glad indeed that I've been able to help you and that the software's useful for your site! :)

All the best...
