Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

v1.55f php7.1

I have installed this plugin (most recent version), successfully according to the check installation and check configuration pages, however url's are still dynamic - the .htaccess file is attached and from what I have seen in other posts it 'seems' in order so I am a little stumped as to why the rewrite isn't working.

I have historically used USU but because of its issue with 155(f) (canonical not working in conjunction with SitemapXML) I decided to change to this one to test it out for myself.

cheers,
Mike

Re: Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

please ignore the above post - I missed the most important content of all in the FAQ's (alas not in the plugin Overview) - 'This module DOES NOT automatically add mappings for EXISTING Categories/Products/Manufacturers/EZ-Pages!' ...... adding mapping per product for 5 websites (= 1000's of products) is too big a task me thinks .... my fault I suppose, an assumption that it would be like USU.

and I have no idea how this works ... 'Redirect the Store's Old/Current URIs - Prevent Broken Links. Stores that have URIs generated by other software, such as Ultimate SEO, Simple SEO, Magic SEO etc., can import these existing URIs as historical URI mappings. The old SEO module's URIs will redirect to the new Ceon URI Mapping URIs, reducing the possibility of broken links from search engines and other sites!

So I will have to wait patiently for someone to fix USU (and continue with suffering rankings)

cheers,
Mike

In my opinion it is better than USU in the control it provides. There are a number of ways to further accomplish the task you describe but I suggest that you do some homework.

As to sustaining historical links/preventing breaking redirects, well that is one of the powerful things about this software. There is no need to build an htaccess file filled with redirects from this to that or whatever as the software tends to it by receiving the request to a uri and if it is the uri that is considered current for the item, then it shows it. If the URI is not the current URI for the item, then it identifies what the current URI should be and updates the browser/search engine with that new uri to indicate what the current designation for that object is. This is done through the database.

reply to thread not working for me ? so copied and pasted

If the URI is not the current URI for the item, then it identifies what the current URI should be and updates the browser/search engine with that new uri to indicate what the current designation for that object is. This is done through the database.

I did the homework, read every bit of the docs and comprehended what I could and then did the manual update thing - I can see why you like the software, it has solved the USU current issue in that it is submitting sitemaps in the rewritten url form as it should be and hopefully that will go some way to helping with the rankings ... however ... (there is always a however with me) I had / have a number of 404 broken links as a result, primarily from EZ pages and pages like what was /products_new.html now being /index.php?main_page=products_new. (featured, specials, products all, etc.)

My product pages have links to articles (EZ pages) - once I enabled uri mapping of course the links broke and deleting then copying and pasting the old original url resulted in a 404 .... so I have a number of redirects in my .htaccess - I can deal with a few instances like that and will likely exclude EZ pages from auto uri mapping on other sites.

However a major issue unfolded when checking Google WMT >> External Links I found a bunch of incoming links from other sites to pages that now result in 404. Some are to pages like new products referenced above whilst others are to categories, EZ pages and also to individual products - links are in USU form and none of them resolve, they all result in a 404. Needless to say this is very concerning.

example of a former USU url which is linked from an external site as https://www.harmonyballpendant.com/harmony-necklaces-full-range-c-14/harmony-necklace-tree-of-life-sterling-silver-silver-harmony-ball-p-1374.html .... is now https://www.harmonyballpendant.com/harmony-necklaces-full-range/harmony-necklace-tree-of-life-sterling-silver-silver-harmony-ball ... and returns a 404

I must admit I expected that this plug in should handle the redirection.

So I can only assume I have not done something correctly as "If the URI is not the current URI for the item, then it identifies what the current URI should be and updates the browser/search engine with that new uri to indicate what the current designation for that object is"

I added this code to .htaccess in the hope it would not redirect pages ending in .html however it is not working, well not working as I expected it might (not redirect existing urls ending in .html) - I added it after going through the process on the site but would expect that it should still work? .... and importantly I'm not sure if I should leave that code in my .htaccess
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.[a-zA-Z]{2,5}$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .(html)$ [NC]

So understandably I need to establish whether I have done something incorrectly or that my expectations of the plugin are unrealistic before going ahead and doing my other sites.

cheers,
Mike

Re: Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

So I took the plunge and installed this plugin on another site and went through the process of 'updating' everything to CEON to create the new url's.
Result is in rebuilding sitemaps the url's are dynamic and not CEON.

During installation Check an error showed up as includes/init_includes/overrides/init_canonical.php was missing - I copied across an unmodified file from a downloaded copy of ZC 1.5.5f then I reinstalled the includes modified core files from the plugin and reran the Installation Check and all was good.

I mention this because the behaviour seems to be that which USU is doing, i.e. not activating canonical, hence sitemap files remain dynamic.

Something is not quite right - so how do I tackle this one? I do not want to lose all the 'updating' time if I can help it.

cheers,
Mike

Re: Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

(if reply with quote doesn't work, click it again... seriously. :) has happened to me, but the forum software has been setup/revised to go to a new screen instead of sliding out the entry box. Anyways...)

I believe each of the items asked about (for the like 98% of it) are fully covered in the instructions.

So, start on the first page of the documentation. There's a link about "mid-screen" where it says something like if you're having problems read these FAQs.

So, then the first issue about getting 404s. There are at least two topics with that in their title and the link for each goes to a slightly different discussion, but they are both of value. It appears that you've followed the rabbit trail at least to the discussion of the rewrite rule modification so that you can allow the plugin to manage an address ending with .html. So that is part of the aspect.

Pretty much the rest of the questions/issues are how to let the software know the destination of a provided url that has been used from outside of the software. This is something that is covered in the configuration section of the manual at or around section 10.

Two things. Was Ceon URI Mappings turned on from within the configuration settings? (Default after install is for it to be off) and we're any uris set for rewrite before attempting to execute the sitemap update?

As far as homework,n there are places in this forum thread where it has been described a way to generate uris from existing product. One hint is to check the website in my signature.

Anyways...) you may have a different entry to the forum? - this is what is happening to me, not sure if it is happening to others but would suspect so, 'reply with quote' simply 'circles' and goes nowhere - has been happening for a while now (days) - re-clicking doesn't help - what did help was after clicking that tab to then click the yellow reply to thread - server has been terribly slow for quite a while now ........ anyway, onwards and upwards.

Went back through the instructions as you suggested and found the fix to urls like new_products etc so will take care of that - FAQ's focus on the url's resolving as the program intended ..... and they are (with me having to make mods as per above) ..... they are simply not being reflected in the sitemap (see next post).

In respect to incoming links not resolving to new url but showing 404 ..... I guess I will have to do a bunch of redirects?

As far as homework,n there are places in this forum thread where it has been described a way to generate uris from existing product. One hint is to check the website in my signature

CEON by default is set to on and no there were no other redirects in place except for http >> https://www which was the case with the first site I did which the sitemap produced rewritten urls.

As for the FAQ's - there is one on the subject of url's still resolving as dynamic, which is not the issue, (and it says 'If this does not fix things then there is simply something wrong with the server/site itself.') ... but there is nothing at all on the subject of url's working but not reflected in the sitemap, nothing at all about the relationship with Sitemap other than it is 'recommended to use sitemap as it enhances the plugin' and '[OPTIONAL but RECOMMENDED] Configure the Google Sitemap (XML) Module' ..... that is the core issue (as it was/is with USU) which tends towards a canonical issue .. yes/no?

This stands out as an anomaly - the original error discussed earlier of init_includes.php not being being found in init_includes/overrides (it was indeed missing - not sure how or why) but then uploaded and installation check then validating as OK ....

Question will re-installing the plugin affect the 'updating' already done ??? ...... if not then it might be worth a shot. That would be my last resort and if that doesn't work I will need to engage someone who can fix my issue - it is adversely affecting how and how often Google sees my site which in turn affects rankings ........... or a poor option is I wait until this plugin or USU are sorted for 1.5.6a and then upgrade and keep the fingers crossed :) ... upgrading from 1.5.1 to 1.5.5f caused the issue in the first place :(

Mike

Re: Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

@mc12345678

There is always a solution, right?!

I reinstalled SitemapXML and that did the trick on the site which was the subject of the previous post - so it appears there must have been a bad or missing file in the original. (As a matter of interest I reloaded SitemapXML on another site still using USU but it made no difference to USU).

There is still the issue of the broken external incoming links - I suppose that means making a long, long list of redirects in .htaccess which is a bummer.

So thanks for all your help with this plugin - hopefully I will not need to impose on your time again (on this issue anyway :D)

cheers,
Mike

p.s. just some feedback - I am experiencing that this site is very slow and the reply with quote button doesn't want to go anywhere, after about 4 minutes of circling I gave up and used reply to thread .... or is there a forum program mod to deter me from posting :smile:

NO. There is no need for an htaccess rewrite for any uri that exists to your ZC store now that you have this module installed. You simply need to know to where you would want that uri directed and as I indicated, use the instructions to enter a destination into the database. The same is true about your ezpages, etc...

As to the "button" I the first click is supposed to javascript a window to edit, the second click is supposed to navigate the browser to a new page and show the edit window. I sometimes have to reload the page for any of that to work, but it's usually a problem with my device not the site.

Re: Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

Some help please, I just did a new install on my test site running zc v1.5.5f, I am trying to go to the Installation Check page per the instructions and I get a blank page. The 1st debug log error was: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /home/sammirah/public_html/webstore2/zcadmin/includes/classes/class.CeonURIMappingInstallationCheck.php on line 2173 I removed one of 2 ?? from the middle now it says, PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/sammirah/public_html/webstore2/zcadmin/includes/classes/class.CeonURIMappingInstallationCheck.php on line 2173 so I removed the 1 ; at the end and it still isn't loading that page. The site is still working fine but I can't move forward in the instructions. Now it says ```

Now I can get to the appropriate page but it tells me about more errors:(

Your code is different from what I have:

$path = isset($old_file_or_dir['file']) ? $old_file_or_dir['file'] : $old_file_or_dir['dir'];

But even so, you could I think is better to use

$path = (isset($old_file_or_dir['file'])) ? $old_file_or_dir['file'] : $old_file_or_dir['dir'];

Hi mc12345678 - yes I must admit to having seen the instructions but cringed at seeing terms like 'create database table' etc ... however ... I will put some time aside and teach myself / practice creating and adding database tables - I suppose I simply just need to do it. In the short term I have activated a few critical redirects so other sites can find certain pages but will change them on the DB a bit down the track.

I'm happy with the the way the plugin works - I am now getting sitemaps generated as they should be! ..... and Googlebot is taking notice, crawling and indexing more pages already :D

cheers,

Mike

Well, please read the entire sentence/section. There is no TABLE creation, it's a line within the table to identify all of the highlights necessary to properly direct/redirect a page request. All of the ZC dynamic information to get to the page as well as the static information directly related to the page to be loaded.

For any destination, there is to be one active uri with all of the rest set as inactive. The active uri is the one that search engines will get to know.

Re: Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

I was looking at some of the code in this module and noticed that variable declarations had been changed.
For example,

var $_clashing_mappings = array();

has been changed to

public $_clashing_mappings = array();

This despite the fact that the original authors comments prior to the declaration are

/**

  • Maintains a list of any URI mappings for the Manufacturer which clash with existing mappings.
  • @var array
  • @access protected
    */

Shouldn't that have been changed to

protected $_clashing_mappings = array();

Re: Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

Some people asked me when the new CEON version for 1.5.6 which I announced for january will be finally released. Sorry folks, should not have mentioned a release date in advance. I got zero feedback on the Github version which is 95% finished, don't have the time at the moment to work on this. As it seems that the original CEON team is taking care again of their plugin I suggest that you are waiting for them to release this update.

Re: Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

Well, I guess I'll be stuck with zc155f for a while. Cannot simply change thousands of indexed urls.

IMHO that is the most sensible option while the early adopters are still bug-squashing 156.

Meanwhile you could ask CEON to post here what they are up to and what they plan to do with the Mappings Manager...
