Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

Hi,

willstyle:

Is ceon is compatible with a "off the shelf" Fast and Easy AJAX Checkout for Zen Cart?l

Yes, many stores use both together without any issues.

All the best..

so i am pretty new to all of this and I try my best to follow the installation instructions, but I still cant get it to work even though I felt like i was doing everything correct. I am using version 1.3.9h of Zen Cart and I cant for the life of me get the "URI Mapping Config" option to show up under "Module" in the Admin. What am I doing wrong? Can someone help me?

Hi,

Quite simply you haven't uploaded all the files, at the very least you haven't uploaded the files for the admin to the store's admin folder.

Start the installation from the start again and you'll get it sorted I'm sure!

All the best...

Hello,

I am running Zen Cart v1.5.0RC3 & Ceon 4.0.7. Everything installed fine, I went into each product and category and generated the static url's. If I go to the product pages or category pages the static url's are there and look fine.

My issue is that when I generate the sitemaps with Sitemap XML version 3.0.3 27.08.2011 13:11 the product sitemap still shows the old dynamic url's for all products...yet when you go to the product page it is the static url. The other sitemaps...categories, ezpages show the static url's. The issue is ONLY with the product sitemap (sitemapproducts.xml)

Products:

Thanks in advance, this is driving me crazy.

Hi,

pokerdis:

Sitemap XML version 3.0.3 27.08.2011 13:11

I don't know about that module so suggest contacting the author of the module and get them to make sure it uses zen_href_link for its product URI links.

All the best..

Grrrr... Seems I've mucked up things a bit here..

I had the installation on this site working just fine with a subdomain. However, for MANY reasons, I had to undo the subdomain setup (shop.mydomain.com) and use a subfolder setup instead (mydomain.com/shop)..

I made all the corrections to the configure.php files and got everything back to working normal with the stock Zen Cart dynamic URLs.. I then cleared out the old URIs from the database, and carefully re-generated them en masse (using Conor's cool tool:cool:).. I realize that I could have done this differently, but since this is still a dev site, I was okay with clearing out the URIs and "starting over"..

So once I got that all done, I uploaded my .htaccess file to the root of my site (http: mydomain.com/) NOT my shop.. Now I am getting "Page Not Found" errors for all my products.. :frusty:

I'm sure this is something simple and stupid I am overlooking, but I have been looking at it awhile and I am no closer to figuring this out.. Can a girl get a hand here pretty please??

Hi,

Happy New Year! :)

May 2012 be 1 million times better than 2011! :)

END CEON URI MAPPING REWRITE RULE[/php]

I think either or both of these are the problem.

The first appears to be sending all URIs to /index.php (including shop ones), I'm not sure, maybe not.

In the first you have a slash at the start of index.php yet in the second you don't have a slash at the start. That's most likely wrong. There should either be a slash in front of both or neither.

Hope that helps!

If not please get in contact privately with FTP and admin details for the site and I'll get things sorted!

All the best...

I'm building a store, http://www.thecamarosuperstore.com, on ZC 1.3.9h, and just installed Ceon URI Mapping 4.0.7. The site is on Hostgator and was installed via Quick Install. I had to remove some extra slashes in the configure.php files to get a sample product to display without 404 errors, however, when I tried to enter another product, I cannot click or type in the Products Description field at all. I entered a description in my first sample product, however, I cannot edit it either due to not being able to click in the box.

I've tried to Google my situation and search the forums, but cannot find anything like this. I'm posting here because this mod was the last thing I installed and configured. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?

Other modules I have installed are:
EP 1.2.5.5 (langer)
TY Package Tracker 3.1.1
Purchase Orders 3.12 (dropshipping module)
Admin Blue Style by Schoolboy
CSS Flyout Menu 1.3.9

Host Gator is problem number 1 and I say this honestly not because I am web host too. They are about as helpful as GoDaddy and don't know crap!
I'd have to see the complete install to help

Hi Melodie,

mlgsings:

It sounds like you haven't applied the core file modifications properly, that something has gone wrong when you were copying the Ceon URI Mapping code into your versions of the files. The installation check is only a basic indication of code having been correctly applied, it can miss problems you've accidentally created with the PHP code by missing lines or repeating lines for example.

I think you should check each core modified file to fix any problems that may have occurred when you were adding the code for Ceon URI Mapping.

Hope that helps!

All the best...

I copied the core files directly, I didn't merge any files because none had been modified before. I'll reapply everything and get back and let you know how it turns out. Thank you!

I'm afraid that in that case, as I expected, this isn't anything to do with Ceon URI Mapping. So you can discount it as a source of the problem.

It sounds like your editor isn't loading so you can't edit the description.

I'm afraid you are best starting a new thread to ask for help about this. I'd suggest comparing all your files to a fresh version of Zen Cart.. you can ignore any Ceon URI Mapping differences, they won't be the cause of your problems, but take a careful look at any other differences.

Sorry I can't be of more help than that. Good luck in getting this sorted.

All the best..

I am doing an upgrade on a store that has this mod installed. I set everything up in the upgraded store, which is in a subdirectory for now, and made sure the htaccess was correct. All of the URLs were going back to the main site instead of the subdirectory pages. I cleared out the mappings table in the database, but now none of the urls are mapped. I know you have a tool to auto-generate them, but I shouldn't have to do that just to upgrade a site that is already using this mod should I?

Hi Danielle,

Danielle:

I set everything up in the upgraded store, which is in a subdirectory for now

I hope you have a backup of the database from before the upgrade?

It's also best to research into all the existing modules installed on a store before you upgrade the existing store...

Unfortunately you would have found out that you are upgrading the store wrongly.

You CANNOT use a subdirectory when upgrading a store that uses static URIs. You must use a subdomain for the temporary (new) store.. to be honest, that's the professional way to do things and you should have done that anyway.. a good lesson to learn now and use for the future, so probably good that this happened to you! :)

Danielle:

but I shouldn't have to do that just to upgrade a site that is already using this mod should I?

The module's documentation makes it very clear that you do indeed have to do that.

So what you need to do is:

1. Move the new store to a subdomain (e.g. test.yourclientssite.com) instead of a subdirectory.

2. Restore the ceon_uri_mapping database table(s).

Then you'll have a test site with working URIs.

All the best...

Hi Conor I hope all your holiday's were great. I also hope you are doing better after all you have been through. :yes:
Now lets get down to the source of my problem.I created a new subdomain (e.g. shop.MyWebSite.com) to test out zen cart 1.5.0 on. I created a new database and inserted the ceon_uri_mapping database table(s) from my 1.3.9h database and it is sending me to my original web site. Maybe I have done something wrong here. My 1.5.0 database name is not the same as my 1.3.9h database could that be the problem. Thank you in advance and for all you hard work on your modules.

Thanks, holidays were fantastic, think I may well have broken the world record for most time spent on a sofa eating chocolates. Hope you had a good time too! :)

countrycharm:

Ceon URI Mapping can't send anyone to a different site as it only works from the first slash after the domain name. (Hence why using subdomains won't interfere with its workings).

However, your rewrite rule(s) can easily send someone to another site.

It's your .htaccess file that will have the problem.. it must have a rewrite rule that is redirecting all URIs on the subdomain to your original site. Look for a rewrite rule that involves HTTP_HOST (e.g. www. to non www. or vice versa is a popular one).

If you're still having trouble please don't hesitate to get in contact privately..

All the best..

Conor, the problem was in the configure.php in the admin/includes. I could not get the product description editor to load properly without double forward slashes in the paths. However, leaving them in place and tweaking the .htaccess doesn't fix the 404 errors when clicking a product in the store frontend. Sigh. I'm moving on without URL remapping for now.

Hi,

That's just wrong. Double slashes are NEVER correct.

This isn't a problem with Ceon URI Mapping but send me FTP and admin details via this address and I'll take a quick look when I get a chance.
