... I didn't even know there were instructions let alone a forum. I was just handed it, shown the FTP and figured the rest. I have learnt alot since those first days and lemme tell you I WILL be following the intructions when it comes to the upgrade. Unless of course by some miracle I actually make some money and can pay someone else to get it all right for me :)

In the meantime... I'm stuck at an impass on my main problem. Anyone got any ideas how to fix? Please... I can get my site working by using the original html_output but I'm worrried that it may be messing things up if I add products and categories with teh rest of the CEON module installed and not functioning.

Any help would be appreciated... Thanks.

The truth is I'm afraid you are not going to get much help from the community as you are running this module on such an old unsupported version of Zen Cart. I have no specifics to offer since in order to help you, I would have to create a v1.3.8 site and try to replicate your issue.. I'm afraid that my schedule precludes me being able to do that..

All I can offer is the advice that most usage issues have at their heart an errant installation.. That's not to say that there couldn't be a bug, but again, since Conor is no longer with us, IF there is a bug (and I am fairly confident that this is probably NOT a bug) there is no one to fix it..

Wish I could be of more help..

hi guys, just found this in my error log this evening, not sure if its anything to be concerned about? its the first and only one i've had. any idea what it could be?

[09-Apr-2013 21:26:39 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function add() on a non-object in /home/site/public_html/includes/classes/class.CeonURIMappingHandlerBase.php on line 131

Thanks in advance.

I have an update on this if anyone else comes across it, this particular problem was self made. I had simply copied the code from the includes/functions/html_output.php and incorrectly put that into the admin/includes.. etc. Using eth correct modified code has removed this error.

Unfortunately I till have the original problem of no category cration and meta's not working :(

DivaVocals:

most install issues can be traced directly back to an incorrect install..

My answer remains the same.. I am pretty positive you still don't have this fully installed correctly..

That said.. I will repeat the other part of my initial response to you because I think your problem can ALL be traced back to something with this module not being installed as it should.... Would suggest that a review of the readme doc will help you in this endeavor..

DivaVocals:

I strongly suggest starting with making sure all the core module files are in place, and then using a file comparison program review VERY carefully each one of the core override files to make sure that you have all the Ceon URI code in place and in the correct places.. Unfortunately my time is short so I cannot troll though all the files from a 6 year old version of Zen Cart to find the ones that might affect meta tags.. but offhand it's probably any of the admin side product or category files..

RESOLVED:

As far as I can tell I this is resolved, I can now create cartegories and modify my meta's once more. Whether the CEON module is working correctly I can't tell fully as I do not know everyting the module does behind the scenes.

Process of solution:

I took the advice given regarding the use of file comparison software. I checked the html_output file that I knew was working before the module, I checked it against the modified version supplied and found one critical piece of information. The header section was different stating the security patch that had been installed, it then changed a few lines further down in the code. Very subtle differences however I got to thinking that maybe the security update was the culprit, especially if the 1.3.8a mod was before the patch came out. I then compared the html_output of the patched file with that of 1.3.9c and lo and behold they were the same bar the header description. From this I deduced that the html_output file I would need would be the modfied 1.3.9c listed in the module.

So the solution is, if you are using 1.3.8a with the latest security patch you need to use the modified ceon 1.3.9c file.

I doubt this will help many others as you've all said not many are using 1.3.8a anymore, but mayeb it will provide helpful for the process of elimination to cure someone elses related problems. :)

All the module files regardless of version are all based on a VANILLA Zen Cart installation..

I was wondering if i may get a little help,
i am using ceon_uri_mapping_4.4.1_for_zc
autoFacebook-v2.3
used win-merge for the update_product.php however when the file is uploaded ceon ceases to work, i can get them to work independently but not together
i would really appreciate the help

Not really a CEON URI issue as much as it is that you need help merging the files these two add-ons have in common.. (sounds like the merging was not done correctly) I can't offer much help in that regard as I don't use the Facebook add-on you are using.. Hopefully someone using both mods can lend a hand..:mellow: You might try posting this on the support thread for your Facebook add-on..

Thanks for the fast reply and i have not had a response from the other guys, i guess i will try continue my merging again, all i know is that the update_produce is the only file that modified on both sides of the add-ons

I was wondering if someone was able to help me with some info on this mod. I am thinking about installing it and want to know if:

1. It can be turned off and on
2. how will it affect products that come up on google searches using cPath=
3. Does it have to be used on all products or can you just use it on some to start.
4. Are there any conflicts that anyone knows about (I have a lot of mods installed)

Sorry for all the questions....

1. Yes
2. Vague.. what do you mean??
3. As it indicates in the decription (and in the readme) you can set URIs on a product by product/category by category basis
4. For properly written modules there should be no conflicts.

Is CEON URI Mapping by default convert products_all , new , specials pages for SEO ?
After I install it I can see those page in old format like index.php?main_page=products_all

No, and there is a section in the readme which explains how you can add these pages to the mappings table if you like..

Hello,

I have the CEON installed, and wanted to know the feature limitations that the free downloadable version has versus the registered version tor with the use of the URI Mapping (SEO/SEF) Software that is mentioned in the readme.

With the free version without the mapping software, one would have to go into manually and enter the URL for each product, and with the Mapping software this would be auto-generated for all of them automatically is this correct ?

I went to the CEON here, but didn't see an order button link:

http://store.ceon.net/business/zen-cart/uri-mappings-manager

Can you send me pricing and how one can place an order for this ?

Thanks,

Rudy

So to answer your question.. your summary of the differences between the free and commercial versions of Ceon's URI modules is correct.. Can't post pricing info on commercial products on the site.. Admins frown upon this..

Dunno what's wrong with the Ceon site, but it looks like someone tried to setup some kind of re-direct on Conor's site and borked it pretty badly..:ohmy:

As you may or may not know, Conor Kerr, the owner of Ceon and author of all the fabu Ceon modules passed away end of last year.. JSWeb has apparently taken over the maintenance of Conor's mods (not sure if they will continue to provide active support for the free Ceon modules on this forum or not --that still remains to be seen)

Google JS Web.. You'll find them.. (I'm on a mobile device and it's a PITA to copy and paste from these devices..)

Thanks for the reply.

I had one more question regarding the CEON as it relates to just getting the manual entry form of CEON working properly.

These two categories here were somehow automatically placed in the shortened CEON format.

http://tiledart.com/shop2/mosaics
http://tiledart.com/shop2/mosaics?pg=store

http://tiledart.com/shop2/terra-ferma-import
http://tiledart.com/shop2/terra-ferma-import?pg=store

Im not able to have the URI mapping take effect. I am able to enter it on the backend, but it doesn't activate on the frontend.
On this product here below. I have the manual URI mapping on the product as /shop2/mosaics/airblack
but it is not accessible via this URL, but only the regular zencart format @
http://tiledart.com/shop2/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=113_137&products_id=299

This is the .htaccess config that I have:

BEGIN CEON URI MAPPING REWRITE RULE

RewriteEngine On

ONLY rewrite URIs beginning with /shop2/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/shop2/ [NC]

Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])

Not trying to be a smarty pants here, but did you turn on Ceon URI (from the admin modules menu)??

DivaVocals:

Yes, Its turned on.

rudyg99:

Yes, Its turned on.

Then check your install.. Most installs can be traced straight back to missed files in the install..

Make sure you have properly included everything in the following folder in the install package.

• files
• modified_core_files (for your Zen Cart version)
• template_override_files (for your Zen Cart version)

If all the right files are in place and your have the correct .htaccess file configured, this module will work with no problem..

Hi,

I just updated from 3.6.3 to the 4.4.1 and checked through the installations pprocess and all went well and no (apparent) errors.

However I'm still getting the ?cpath=xxx tag at the end of numerous URL's

I read the FAQ and understand that this is apparent for linked products.
The issue is, I don't have any linked products on my site..??

I also understand they are not really an issue, but I'd rather them not be there unless they have to be, and as I don't have linked products, they don't have to be, or rather shouldn't be..!

I've gone through and re-generated various URL's to see if makes a difference but no...

I also cleared my own cache in case that was an issue but no
Any clues..?

Thanks,
Mike
