i> s there a quick way to enable all products to new url or is it all manual per item / category / manufacturer

5000 products to doYou will have to do them manual one at a time. About the auto feature
Conor cannot answer this question here on this support forum as the rules of this forum prohibit the support or discussion of paid modules on the part of the module creator. The particular module you speak of will be a commercial module, and if you want more information on it, you will need to contact Conor via e-mail. (use the contact form on the Ceon website)

thanks

zc 1.3.9f, Ceon URI Mapping 3.8.0

Am I correct in assuming that URIs for new products added after installation of this mod must still be created manually if they reside in a category that existed prior to installation and thus had its URI done manually?

The auto generate feature only works on new categories & products added to the site AFTER the mod has been installed. You will have to manually generate any categories, or products url prior to installation. For new products added to any category after installation of this module Ceon URI Mapping will auto generate it to that category for you.

No, although the pre-existing category won't have a URI autogenerated, any products or categories added **after **the software is installed will have full auto-generation of URIs.

All the best..

I must have done something wrong ;o(

zc 1.3.9f, Ceon SEO mod 3.8.0 on ZC certified host.

New products added to Categories/Sub-Categories that existed prior to installing this mod will only generate: /// as the automatically generated URI.

Manually created URI's that I've done so far are working perfectly for all categories and subcategories and the products in one subcategory that I've done so far.

My htaccess in root is copied from example for index in root, with admin changed to my admin name, with nothing else in that file. Other htaccess files in other folders are unaltered from zc 1.3.9f clean install.

My mod settings include Caps on each word (but I tried other settings), use of - for white space.

I added files to the exceptions list from other mods that had includes/application_top in them: /admin/sitemapxml.php, /admin/image_handler.php, /admin/products_with_attributes_stock.php, and /admin/products_with_attributes_stock_ajax.php (with admin changed to my actual file name) - but I also tried adding a new product with these exceptions removed and config saved.

My 'auto generate' box is not ticked in the categories or subcategories, but I did tick in the new products I tried.

This is an amazing mod and I am content to do things manually, but I'm nervous that I've done something wrong that may muck me up further down the road. Site is www meafordwool.com

Any idea where I should be looking?

That's clearly not right, I have never heard of such an issue before.. please get in contact via this address and I'll see if I can find out why this is happening.

You don't need to add exceptions for any admin files as they don't use the Ceon URI Mappings module.

Glad you like it! You shouldn't need to do anything manually.. hopefully I can find out what's happening when you get in contact with FTP and admin details for the site in question.

Hi,

I found a bug in the software.. Doug was using +=>Plus in the replacements configuration for his site.

The regular expression is supposed to have all special characters escaped. Current versions escape the following:

[/-\!?$^[]|*.(){}=<>:]

I've updated that to include the missing + and this bugfix will be part of the next version.

If anyone experiences the same problem in the meantime, simply open admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/ceon_uri_mapping.php and search and replace:

[/-\!?$^[]|*.(){}=<>:]

with

[/-\!?$^[]|*.(){}=<>:+]

(There should be 6 occurrences).

Sorry about the oversight!

All the best...

Leave it to me to use an uncommon symbol! I can't believe how quickly Connor identified and solved this.

I've sent coffee....and I hope everyone who uses this mod does the same. You have to admit - the documentation and support of this mod is second to none.

(Not even to mention that my google rankings have already moved on up the line.)

The current site has the product url as
http://www.mysite.com/holiday-gift-baskets/halloween-gift-baskets/monster-mash

I added few products from the script(not from admin) and I get the following kind of urls
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=93_122&products_id=587

Which field I can mass update in the db to get these kind of product with the former url?
Thanks

Hi,

I'm afraid mass updates are not supported by Ceon URI Mapping. You must update each product individually to have their URIs autogenerated.

All the best..

ThanksYou might wanna have a look at the section of Conor's readme which discusses how to create URI's for non product related Zen Cart pages.. You can use this same method to add URI's for these products. If you are comfortable with SQL, you can create am insert statement to update all the products you added to your DB manually..

You might actually get some help if you post this question in the appropriate place on the forum.. This is a support thread for the Ceon URI mapping tool.. You should re-post your question in the right section of the forum (suggest creating NEW post versus posting in the middle of an unrelated thread).. In the meantime I suggest checking out the Zen Cart FAQs. The answer to your question (and probably many others you might have) are definitely there.. Good luck!:smile:

I have a ZC website installed on https://www.url.com, and a blog and forum installed on https://www.url.com/blog and https://www.url.com/forum. I have EZ page "internal" links set up to link to each of those (simply, "blog" and "forum"), and those links no longer work since I installed CEON.

I tried entering http://www.url.com/blog as an external URL on the EZ page link, but that did not fix the issue. How can I make it work the way it worked before I installed CEON?

Thanks!

I was able to fix the issue with the forum link. It is a phpbb3 forum, not sure if that has anything to do with it. I gave the EZ Page link an external URL of http://url.com/forum/index.php (omitting the www), and that works. However, the (Wordpress) blog link does NOT work even when I use this method. Thoughts?

Once you use Ceon URI Mapping EZ-Page links can **never **be used again.

They aren't necessary anyway as you can just add a mapping for the ez-page itself, or add other links to your htaccess file.

Thanks for your reply. Can you please be a little more specific as to how exactly I can get a link to the /blog subdirectory to work again, and how I can add that link to the htaccess file? Thanks!

I got it to work! I just followed the instructions here: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum92/2455.htm

"Actually, you can put a new rule ahead of the ones that you don't want to run for those subdirectories:

RewriteRule ^(imagedir¦imagedir2¦imagedir3) - [L]

This tells mod_rewrite to leave the URL unchanged and quit processing rules if the requested subdirectory is one of those in the alternate list. If the requested subdirectory is in the list, all the rules after this one get skipped."

So I added an entry for the /blog directory and one for the /forum directory and it worked!
