Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

DivaVocals:

Please search this thread.. the answer to why creating EZ Pages for internal links for pages won't work with this add-on has been discussed a few times in this thread.. latest discussion on this topic was a week or two back so paging back a few pages will yield the answer to your question..

I just want to know is it working for EZ-Pages to have them static pages?

Hi,

Yes. The distribution even comes with code to get the Multi-language EZ-Pages using static URIs if you want. :)

Have a good weekend!

I have succeed with all the pages but when i hover the mouse over New Products and Special link in HEADER it shows the index.php?main_page=products_new and index.php?main_page=specials, but after clicking on it it goes to /new-products
Can you tell me what is wrong?

Just installed this for the first time for a customer.

the site has the following structure
example.com/cms
example.com/shop

Where CMS is drupal and shop is zencart

Now if both have the rewrite rules in the root .htaccess file (in example.com/.htacces), drupal will still work, but zencart will not. Moving drupal definitions to the /cms/.htaccess and everything works fine.

So you probably can't have an zencart installation with this mod so that drupal is installed in the root and zencart is a subfolder?

You obviously have a custom template and have hard coding inside it, setting the links to

index.php?main_page=products_new

instead of using something like (must be output using PHP):

zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW)

So this is a problem you need to fix where you have hard codings in your template.

The reason the link changes from the dynamic one you see when you hover over the link to the static URI is that Ceon URI Mapping smartly redirects from the dynamic link to the static one.

That's you sorted then!

Hi,

pasi:

You can indeed. But you need to add a condition(s?) to your Drupal rewrite rule to stop it trying to handle the /shop URIs.

The information in the Ceon URI Mapping documentation about adding exclusions may be of use. Or you can search the 'net for info on rewrite rules.

If you're still stuck, then I'm afraid that, as I've never used Drupal and custom rewrite rules are what I'd consider custom coding, I won't comment on this further here, that sort of support is not provided by me for free, but hopefully the above information is enough or maybe someone else can help you.

Have a nice day!

Sorry I don't help with custom templates etc. Maybe someone else here will.

If not, you should pay someone to help.

Have you added a custom static URI for the login page?

If so, it's possible/likely that your log-in link in your template isn't using zen_href_link() and is posting to the wrong address, the dynamic address or something like that.

Regardless, check the PHP/HTML around the log-in links/forms you are using and make sure they are posting to the correct address/PHP function + parameters.

i've not changed any of the generic zen cart uri's

with ceon turned off whilst viewing a product and logging in the user would be returned to:-

https://www.youronestore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_977_978&products_id=51210

with ceon turned off the same url produces this:-

https://www.youronestore.co.uk/pets/small-animals/activity/boredom-buster-coco-fun-chinchilla-toy

the second returns 404 not found i've tried the .htaccess rewrite varients but both still return the same results.

[/url]

If I use http:// instead of https:// both of those URIs work.. you've simply messed up the HTTPS handling on the site I think.

Sorry, that's all I have to say.

Good luck in getting this sorted.

Hello, Conor, glad to see you're up and about!

Say, I am having two or three issues with ceon_uri_mapping_umm_edition_4.2.0_for_zc and ceon_uri_mappings_manager_1.4.0beta1_for_zc.

The first issue is that Ceon is failing to encode some product URLs properly, the {product-id} is excluded in some cases. See http://goo.gl/JaZ5b (which is in turn not formatting properly for a reason I've not yet discovered) vs. http://goo.gl/dNiqq. Have any ideas for why Ceon is failing to include the {product-id}?

The second issue is related to the first, I believe. Some URLs have incomplete cPaths. See http://goo.gl/Hq2F7. What is causing the cPath truncation?

I would love to identify the cause of the breakdown with these two issues. The bottom fell out of the site's Google rankings, part of which were caused by other issues that a script is handling now but there are still many of these {product-id}less and incomplete cPath URLs on the site.

The third issue involves SSU, which I never got working with 1.5. Ceon must have learned of SSU from a database setting because the SSU mod wasn't installed when the site went live. Ceon doesn't need the SSU cache folders, right? I can delete them? They are nearly 3GB in size (and has tens of thousands of files within) and I would love to delete all SSU cache folders because backups take too long and place an unnecessary burden upon the server.

Thanks Conor (or anybody else) for answering my questions or pointing me in the right direction to relay to a programmer.

Hello, Conor, glad to see you're up and about!

Thanks, I'm not actually, it'll be a few weeks at least, but am doing best to keep up here.

This isn't the appropriate place I'm afraid, please get in contact privately and I'll get you sorted/discuss any "issues" with Google etc (which are nothing to do with a correctly installed Ceon URI Mapping).

Thanks,

Hi Connor,

I've found the issue and just need a hand to remove the ssl setting, I installed a test site and during setup i left the ssl catalog set to false after this the URI mappings worked fine but during the setup of my main site i set this to true now i've editted the admin config file and set the secure catalog to false but the URI still redirects to https instead of http do you know which file is overiding this setting.

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

Neil_9481:

the URI still redirects to https instead of http do you know which file is overiding this setting.

As I said, this isn't anything to do with Ceon URI Mapping. However, send me FTP and admin details and I'll take a quick look and see if I can fix the mistake you've made.

All the best..

ZC 1.39h

So I've installed on this on my local copy of my ZC store and hope to do so on my live site once I get the hang of it.

I ran the install check via my admin panel and get 17 errors. All seem to be related to core files.
Here's my error message:

17 problems were found with core files that need to be modified for Ceon URI Mapping to work optimally.

The errors should be fixed as soon as possible. In the meantime though, since the store's configure files have been checked and found to be valid, information about the example rewrite rule for the store was able to built.

Does this mean I've missed copying files or did I make a mistake during the installation.

Hi,

Serious:

It means you've missed the entire section of the installation about modifying the core files! :)

You must have simply skipped past it accidentally.

Follow through that section of the installation instructions (which I suppose is essentially "modify these core files") and the Installation Check will let you know you've completed installation correctly. Handy wee thing!

All the best...
