Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

Missed this part...

Simply copying across the modified_core_files/admin folder won't work
Damn.....

So I need to manually make the changes to each of the core files....

I'm in so over my head.......

Am I understanding this correctly?
Even after successfully installing this mod I'll have to Edit every single product on my site in order for this mod to create a new URI?

Yes.. If this is an existing store you do.. All new products will not have this same requirement..

Hi,

Serious:

Missed this part...

Damn.....

? Damn what? Simply that you forgot the admin folder had a different name? Or that you have to merge files?

Hope you're sorted now either way, should be simple enough!

All the best...

IS there a way to disable these pages from being rewirtten

FILENAME_QUICK_CHECKOUT and FILENAME_FEC_CONFIRMATION

Or a way to make it compatiable with fast and easy checkout?

Hi,

It already does work with FEC. It doesn't interfere with any "properly" written module (not that I'm advocating that FEC is great, it's not [IMO of course], but many do have a working Zen Cart store with both FEC and Ceon URI Mapping running just fine, as do I - I didn't have to change anything in FEC, simply installing both FEC and Ceon URI Mapping worked fine for me when I tested the two together many months ago).

Ceon URI Mapping won't "rewrite" any pages you don't add a URI Mapping for.

I'd imagine any trouble you are having is down to some sort of customisation you've done/old version you are using, so putting on the latest versions may be all you need to do.

Hope that helps!

All the best...

I am running the latest versions of both modules. Some customers are having issues looping on the checkout page

The people who make Fast and Easy Checkout told me this

Yes, there are compatibility issues with CEON URI Mapping. It's instructed to turn off any rewriting rules within the checkout pages. Most SEF URL mods have this ability, but the CEON URI Mapping mod doesn't. Please contact the author and ask him how you can disable the module when on FILENAME_QUICK_CHECKOUT and FILENAME_FEC_CONFIRMATION. There is no reason to be rewriting checkout URLs as they aren't indexed by search engines.

Okie-dokie!
Bought some more software from Ceon to simplify the process.

Yes to all of the above. ;)

Got this mod up and running on my local copy....thank heavens for Winmerge!!

Now I gotta figure out how to use WinMerge on my live site so I can get this add-on running there.

Great Add-on Connor, you continue to impress!!

You shouldn't need to use winmerge on your live files, IF you have kept your live and local files synchronised and you are satisfied you have tested this mod locally then you simply use your local files (the files you have edited for this mod) to overwrite your live files.
Don't forget to backup first!!

I have been happily using FEC and Ceon URI for over a year with no issues whatsoever. That's without any process URI's being rewritten by me or by this excellent mod.

Hi,

Ceon URI Mapping doesn't come with any mappings for the checkout, or "rewrite rules within the checkout pages". It's quite frustrating to see this misinformation come from the makers of a module!

Saying that, we DO map the checkout URIs as it looks nicer and works 100% perfectly fine. And always will. A URI is an address, nothing magical. Ceon URI Mapping recreates the environment variables if necessary, so the environment is the same but with a different "address" in the browser URI textfield.. that's the only difference and why things will always work with a "properly" written module (one that uses environment variables and not URI text strings.. a sign of badly written software).

CnTGifts:

Most SEF URL mods have this ability, but the CEON URI Mapping mod doesn't.

As it is isn't needed, Ceon URI Mapping is smarter than that.

CnTGifts:

They really don't know what they are talking about, even with their own software. That is quite frustrating. As several have said here, there is no problem installing Ceon URI Mapping with any other properly written module, and many have it working fine with FEC.

You must have a strange setup or custom rules. I don't have much time but send me FTP and admin details for your site, and the files for the FEC module sent to you/downloaded by you and I'll take a quick look to see what is up.

All the best..

Ok, so download the few files that need editing from your live hosting then compare them to your local files that you have added the mod coding into (winmerge) then reload them to host along with all the new files and folders for the mod. There aren't many actual edits anyway as it's mainly new files to this mod.

Hi,

Serious:

I haven't....:no: :blush:

Oops :)

There aren't many modified files so it shouldn't take too long to compare the two.. I do recommend using Beyond Compare rather than Winmerge though.. it's one of only two pieces of software that I consider "essential" on a windoze system. Winmerge is good, BC is even easier to use (and there's a trial available).

Download your live site files to one folder, then compare that folder to your local folder in Beyond Compare, switch it to "Show Differences but No Orphans" and then you can click through the Ceon URI Mapping modified core files one by one and copy across the changes..

You'll find that in most files, the Ceon URI Mapping changes - which are in clearly marked blocks, as you've seen - are probably the only blocks that need changing, as not many modules require core files to be modified (we did our best to minimise the number Ceon URI Mapping has had to have modified, it would have been nice to not have to have to modify any but, alas that wasn't possible).

Hope that helps!

EDIT: It appears picandnix has written the same thing at the same time! Thanks picandnix, there's two great minds thinking alike then ;)

All the best..

:cool:
I swear by Beyond Compare too, I'd be lost without it.

Here here.. I LOVE Beyond Compare.. WinMerge does NOT compare!!! Beyond Compare is WAAAAAAY better..

Finally found some spare time and loaded v4.2.0 and mapping manager v1.2.0

All better now!!
Mapping manager made quick work of rewriting all of the URI's on my site, and there were a bunch of 'em!
I immediately generated a new site map and submitted it as well, but I'm sure it will take a little time before my rankings improve.

seriousoffroadproducts.com in case anyone wants to see what the address now look like.

Great work on this Conor!

Hi,

seriousoffroadproducts.com in case anyone wants to see what the address now look like.

Some of that does look very serious indeed! ;)

On a less serious note.. I see you haven't run the auto-generation for "other" pages and manufacturers as yet.. may as well do that I'd say.

Anyway.. have a nice day/weekend!

All the best...
