Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

Hey there everyone! I'm hoping someone will have some fresh insight into an issue I'm having with this mod. By the way Connor great job producing and supporting such a great feature! Anyways, to the issue...

I've got the URI mapping running smoothly and everything seemed to working like clockwork while browsing through IE. I opened up Google Chrome to double check the layout and when I try to log in using my test "customer" info it reports a security issue. However, if I hit the login button twice in rapid succession it is able to go through, although still displaying the alert for the security issue.

Is there any known compatibility issues for users using Google Chrome to browse? I'd appreciate any help that can be given, at this point I'm completely stumped.

EDIT: Looks like I jumped the gun a bit. When I double tap the login button it shows the login greeting page including the test "customers" name (Welcome (name) blah blah blah....) However, that is the extent of the login and the "customer" is immediately logged out. (when browsing with Chrome)

Hi,

shakes222:

Is there any known compatibility issues for users using Google Chrome to browse? I'd appreciate any help that can be given, at this point I'm completely stumped.

Thanks for the nice comments about the software. Unfortunately the problem you are having can't be to do with Ceon URI Mapping.. it has no compatibility issues.. if it works in Firefox or IE then it will work in Chrome, the browser used is irrelevant, alll the software does is map URIs.

Sorry I can't be more help than that.. I suggest posting your problem as a new thread, someone should be able to help you with this "security issue".

All the best..

Thank you for the quick response. I'll see what I can do to eliminate some of the variables that might be causing the problem and then move forward with your suggestion. Thanks again.

Im only guessing, but perhaps Chrome has cached the previous urls, and now when you go back to them they have changed... Chrome might think there is phishing going on or something?

Perhaps try clearing out the browser cache?

I'm trying to install but I've hit a snag. After I uploaded all the new and modified files, Admin went blank. I found the "offending" file. When it's present admin goes blank. When I delete it admin shows up. :dontgetit The file is admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/ceon_uri_mapping.php.

I've had problems like this before and it usually involves a missing file. However, I've double checked all the files and everything seems okay. Also, the file this one "requires" is present and seems to be fine. I've reached the end of my skill (that doesn't take long!). I don't know what else to look for!:( Help, please!

Hi,

keeping:

The file is admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/ceon_uri_mapping.php.

This means it is attempting to load in a file which doesn't exist.

I'm guessing you've renamed your admin from "admin" to something else but have either uploaded the files into a folder called "admin" anyway (oops) or have forgotten to update the path to your admin folder in admin/includes/configure.php (oops again).

Hope that helps.

All the best..

Thank you. However, I'm still confused. I think I understand what you said here (but I could be wrong!).

My admin folder is not named admin but as far as I know I have put all the module admin files in the appropriate places within my admin (which is, of course, not named admin).

The path to my admin folder in admin/includes/configure.php is apparently correct because it has been working. In fact, I can make the admin area not work, work, not work, work, etc., simply by adding or removing the file I mentioned. It has to have something to do with this file or another file down the line connected with this one . . . somehow. :wacko:

You said that "This means it is attempting to load in a file which doesn't exist." What file might that be? Is this file (the one I mentioned) or another one looking for admin/SOME_FILE and I need to edit it to look for MYADMIN/SOME_FILE instead?

I wish files could just tell me what it is they want! :frusty: lol

That's not right. You're probably mistaking a correlation for a causation. Simply because the admin hasn't stopped working yet doesn't mean you have set up the configure.php file properly. Check it again. You'll probably find you've made a mistake in DIR_FS_ADMIN.

The reason you would think that you haven't made a mistake in this file is simply that you haven't used any part of the admin yet which uses this define and so haven't see this error before.

Hope that helps!

All the best...

Hi,

A new version of Ceon URI Mapping will be released shortly with sample modified core files for Zen Cart 1.3.9e and 1.3.9f.

In the meantime, anyone wanting to install Ceon URI Mapping should just use the sample modified core files for Zen Cart 1.3.9d, they are compatible "enough" that there's no problem using them.

You can then copy the files for 1.3.9f across when you upgrade to it.

All the best..

As far as I can tell DIR_FS_ADMIN is correct, but then, I don't really know what it is supposed to look like. It seems to be what it has always been.

Ahah! I just checked my backup copy from before my recent upgrade. I had accidently removed the slash at the end of the path when I changed DIR_FS_ADMIN in the new file. :oops: I must have been tired when I edited that file. . . . and blind today that I couldn't see that!

Problem solved. File is happy now! :clap:

Thank you for your help. :D

Zen Cart v1.3.8a/v1.3.8

I installed the module and it seems to work fine (e.g. renaming new catagories, or changing exisiting ones) however when you try to view the page it comes back with a 404 Error.

For example:

store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=108

is now

store/accesories

#1 Is this an issue that sounds familer? If so any thoughts on what I have or may be wrong?

#2 is there any way to actually turn off the Mod?

Thank you.

I'd like to note that I found the CP at the bottom of Admin-->Configuration it was hidden. And after turning it off all pages worked fine again.

It's almost like there is a disconnect between the actual link and the URI link. Otherwise everything else seems to work fine.

Great module. I have it mostly working in the latest version of 1.3.9f.

Two things:

1. I can't seem to see the URI Mapping Field on existing products. I can see it on existing categories and new products though. Any ideas?

2. Is there anyway to get rid of the "By Category" and "By Product" that is added to the automatically generated URI's? For example, it goes store/by-category/tires and I want it to be store/tires.

It sounds like you haven't created and added a rewrite rule for your site.

Please re-read the installation and configuration documentation and make sure you carry out the step about creating a rewrite rule.

Hope that helps!

Glad you like the software!

I don't know how that could happen.. it should appear on the product page regardless of whether the product exists or is new.

If you are still having trouble with this please send me admin and FTP details at this address and I'll take a look. It may be tomorrow or if not it'll have to be next week that I can take a look.

I'm afraid that the current version of the software has no support for custom URI autogeneration templates. This feature is planned for the URI Mappings Manager though.

You can "autogenerate" the product URI, then on the "preview" page, copy and paste the auto-generated URI, then go back to the product add/edit page and remove the category.

Of course you must then be 100% sure that NONE of your products anywhere on the site have the same name or only one of them will work, the rest will vanish from your site. You can fix that by adding a 1 or 2 or 3 etc. to the end of the product's name or the end of the URI you are entering for the product.

All the best...

Yeah... you were correct. I did that part wrong. Seems to be working fine now. Thanks again!

Hi:

Afraid I can send you the information as this is a developement site of a client of a client's. Is there any way you can tell me what files I need to look at? I'm pretty good at reading PHP and as soon as I see what is going on, if I have any questions, I will email you with specific details.

Or I can send you a copy of the files that I modified. I just can't give you admin or FTP access.
