Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

askaquestion:

Hi Conor

I'm just upgrading to 1.5. Have been using the simple SEO url mod for some years and it now seems defunct. Before I leap in and install your mod and remove all the old SSU files I was wondering if it will still be possible for it to create 301 redirects from the old url's given SSU is unlikely to work on 1.5?

Interesting what you find when looking through the support thread (see quoted post below).. The well written readme for this add-on answers a LOT of your questions as well.. I t doesn't hurt anything to download it and have a read..

DivaVocals:

The well written readme that comes with this add-on is VERY clear that in order to create URIs for an existing store you will have to edit each category or product manually.

Can you import the URI's into the database using phpMyAdmin?? Yes you can, but to facilitate this you will need to create a data file with all 8000 products and add the URI's to this data file, then import this data file via phpMyAdmin.

or

as several of us have spoken of FREQUENTLY you can purchase the Ceon URI Mapping Manager from Ceon's website. This was just recently mentioned a few days ago on this support thread (http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1107715&postcount=449) which is why I always say it's a good idea to read through the support thread.. there's ALWAYS good information posted, and most questions are already answered..

The Mappings Manager will do many things including auto generating URIs for existing stores.

Hi Conor,

I have a client using zencart v1.3.7, I just want to know if your CEON URI v4 will work on that store?

Thank you very much!

It will work with it but sample modified files are no longer provided in the distribution for Zen Cart 1.3.7.. you'd have to merge the changes from the 1.3.8a files (which will probably also be withdrawn from future distributions).

However, 1.3.7 and 1.3.8 are both rubbish versions now, you should upgrade straight away!

I lost 4 days of my life last year rebuilding a server after a hack caused by having one of our clients using a fully patched 1.3.8 version of the store (server's locked down now but it wasn't an experience I'd recommend!).

1.3.7 and 1.3.8 are totally open to hacking and should not be used by anyone!

All the best..

Thank you for the info Conor, you are right v1.3.7 and v1.3.8 is outdated already. I also have many clients getting hacked in the past, but this always their decision when it comes to upgrade :D

Hello,

I would kindly ask for some help...
I just installed CEON Uri Mapping 4.0.0 (Zen Cart version 1.3.9h) and after running the installation check I followed the instructions given by the software in order to correct the listed errors. Now I cannot access my Zen Cart Admin.

Please give me a clue with my debug report, because it seems what i'm doing is not what it has to be done:
"[08-Mar-2012 14:45:46] PHP Warning: require(includes/functions/sessions.php) [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/magazinb/public_html/admin/includes/init_includes/overrides/init_sessions.php on line 28

Thank you!

Hi guys I have managed to configure the categories and products to use the static Urls but I cannot find a way to make the privacy notice or specials pages use the static urls.

Using ceon 4.0.8 and Zencart v1.50

for example

http://www.awst-online.co.uk/index.php?main_page=specials

Any help would be great thank you.

This is covered in the very well written readme that comes with this mod.. (and asked about FREQUENTLY in this support thread -- a quick search will turn up those posts as well)

Have found them but some of them are not working. Have got privacy working but not shippinginfo or contact_us??

UrKoS:

Have found them but some of them are not working. Have got privacy working but not shippinginfo or contact_us??Well you will need to provide more DETAILS than you have..

But since without details I have to GUESS, off the top of my head you should take a look at the privacy page URI info you entered in the URI table and compare that to the info you entered for the pages you say are not working..

Better yet.. if you provided some DETAILS on what you did we could help you figure out what you did wrong..:smile:

Sorry didnt have time earlier due to lunatic 3 year old lol.

One of the pages which dont work is the shipping info page

Uri /shippinginfo
Language id 1
current uri 1
main page shipping-info
the others are null.

cracked it I had the Uris the wrong way around.......:censored::censored::censored::censored:

Hi,

You have uploaded the files for the store includes folder to the admin includes folder! Oops!

using list of files in installation docs as guide, delete all files uploaded in wrong places then do entire installation from start to finish all over again and things will be fine.

All the best...

Thank you very much! :smile:

I have a main category A and within it several sub-categories, say A1, A2,A3 an so on.

I have some other main categories, say B, C, D. The only products in these categories are Copies of products that exist in A1, A2, A3, and so on.

I'd like to Move main Categories B, C, D into of A so they become sub categories.

So I end up with Category A, and subcategories A1, A2,A3, B, C, D and so on.

I tried this on my test site and it works ok but I don't have Ceon mod on the test site due to htaccess issues with Windows7 that are beyond me.

My categories show on the main page and what I'd like to accomplish is to prune down the clutter so that my entire page shows on one screen. (I could also accomplish this with Featured Categories mod if this idea doesn't fly.)

My question: if I make the changes above, will I have to manually rename my url's for the categories, and/or for the product pages? (The former representling a little work, but the latter representing a lot of work!)

ZC 1.3.9h; Ceon URLs 4.07 (oops- I see there's a 4.08)

Hello Connor,

I had been using your mod for years with very good results. Thanks for you efforts!

I added a new ezpage yesterday. But somehow the mod refuses to make it static.

Instead it uses the standard /index.php?main_page=page&id=15

All my other ezpages display as static url's.

Can you please look:

Not working ezpage:

http://www.vapori.ro/index.php?main_page=page&id=15

A working one:

Thank's In advance,
Janos

The system truncated my last link. However all the links on the righ menu are ezpages. It should be easy to spot.

Hi,

How are you?

Yes, you will have to re-generate the URIs, the current ones will then become historical URIs, so they will redirect to the new ones, which is very handy. You can just turn on some music and get clicking, it does take time but you only have to do it once more by the sounds of things. I can't talk about alternative ways here.

All the best...

Hi Janos,

Glad you like the software.

Maybe you have updated your site and have overwritten the EZ-Pages modifications, forgetting to add the Ceon URI Mapping code back in?

Check admin/ezpages.php has the Ceon URI Mapping code. It will never fail to generate a URI.

That'll be you sorted! Enjoy (more) new URIs! ;)

All the best...

You were, of course, absolutely right!

I recopied ezpages.php from the install package. And voila.

A big Thank you!

Have a great evening!
