Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

Hi,

mikebr:

ie

This web site has chinese characters in its URL?

Recently the ability to use other charactersets in URIs has been introduced however traditionally URIs have only used one character set, that with the letters a-z, numbers 0-9 and a few special characters. You can search for and read the various RFCs which underpin this system on the internet.

Now that other countries are starting to use other charactersets in URIs things will change but Ceon URI Mapping still goes by the RFCs which have underpinned the web since its invention by Tim Berners-Lee.

Sorry, there are no plans at this time to rewrite the software for compatibility with additional charactersets.

mikebr:

Does the transliteration of the chinese,japanese and russian characters have any meaning or are they just arbitrary alphanumeric characters?

The numbers you see are the codes used to represent the individual characters, parsed into URI "% and code" format.

All the best..

Hi,

littlekid440:

once I add an item to cart and from cart I click on the item to go back to the item page - there is "?products_id=(productID:ZenID" attached to the end of the URI

is there a fix for this?

There is no "fix" as there is nothing wrong. That information is required as part of the URI as it is how Zen Cart passes information about the attributes selected by the customer when adding the product to the cart.

The page's address still has a canonical URI which doesn't have the product_id/attribute info so make sure you haven't messed up and that your pages have the canonical URI in the header.

If they do then this other software needs to be updated to work properly with pages that use canonical URIs.

I don't use facebook so won't be looking into this further. Hope you can get it sorted. If you are still having problems, you may need to contact facebook for a fix.

All the best...

Hi Reb,

rebelIT:

If I enter an invalid URI instead of getting a 404 error page it just redirects tot he index.

That's nothing to do with Ceon URI Mapping, it's the Zen Cart setting for your store in Configuration - Missing Page Check. Set it to Page Not Found.

All the best..

Hi Conor,

I have just installed you mod and it really is brilliant - congrats, I have been told this is one of the most difficult things in achieving SEO. put off installing it for a while as I thought I would end up messing up everything but your instructions and all is great and thankfully it seems to work great. I have nearly 400 products so I am manually correcting them to adopt URL feature but no worries as along as it works (EP doesn't seem to work for this). Just one little think I have notices sofar and that is now zen lightbox does not work, which I quite liked having for larger image display, worked on basis of image handler 3. So not sure now if anything can be done on this. couldn't see it in the FAQ. thanks.:D

I have the latest version, 4.0.5 installed on 1.39d. i am looking to upgrade my zen cart to 1.39h. Would i need to uninstall this module and reinstall it after i upgrade. Wanna know what the best way would be.

Thanks

Hi,

Glad you like the software. I hope it helps your site.

Litebox works fine with the software. You need to check/fix your template or other paths on your site.

Follow the steps in the FAQs from "When Ceon URI Mapping is enabled images stop appearing on the site!" onwards.. one of those three FAQs has all the information you need to fix this.

All the best...

When you upgrade Zen Cart you should always use software like Beyond Compare to compare the files from the new version of Zen Cart with the version of the files on your store and copy across any changes from the new version to your "old" files. This is the safe and professional way to upgrade.

Hope that helps.

If you have any other questions about upgrading please post in the appropriate upgrade thread on the site instead of here.

All the best...

hi Conor, thanks for a great module,

I'm using Zen-cart 1.3.9h and just upgraded Ceon URI to version 4.0.5, as my site is multilingual, I upgraded the multilingual EZ-pages as well with the file you included.

and now I'm running into a strange problem, some of my categories have the same name in dutch and french, when I'm on the dutch version, and click on one of these categories, the category opens in french, and no matter what I do, I can't change the language to dutch, which is the first language anyway,

a solution seems to be to change the categoryname, so that the name is different in the two languages, but this is not always practical,

hope you can find a solution,

kind regards,
Fons

That problem shouldn't happen.

Please send FTP and admin details for your site to me at the following address and I'll take a look.

Thanks Conor,

Going to look into this, hopefully will figure it out.

Hi,

The software does indeed stay on the current language whenever the URI for the same page in another language is the same.

This is not how things should work so I've fixed things on Fons' site and 4.0.6 will be released with this change whenever I get a change to package up a new version.

All the best..

Thanks Conor, followed your advice and that in FAQ moved href line to above js tags, etc and lightbox works again, when I looked at FAQ initially, thought it didn't relate to my query. So thank you again and again for such a great mod.:clap::clap::clap::clap:

Thanks a lot Conor, this is what I call a GREAT service, you fixed my shop in minutes,

kind regards,

hello, i have some questions

1, i have to custom each url by clicking on admin->catelog->categories/products, then category, then the product, then to modify the url, then preview, then save
is there a way to modify those urls more quickly? just like quick updates to list the products together?

2, what do i make it suport multi language site? like
site.com/product-main-language-1
site.com/de/product-german-1

3, could i modify the automaticly generate rule to make the product url automaticly generate like this without category name?
site.com/product-p-1

:smile:

Hi,

inception:

Yes.

inception:

2, what do i make it suport multi language site? like
site.com/product-main-language-1
site.com/de/product-german-1

Just add in the text "/de/" at the start of the URI mapping by manually editing it.

inception:

3, could i modify the automaticly generate rule to make the product url automaticly generate like this without category name?
site.com/product-p-1

I'm afraid I'm not allowed to comment on the other issues here.

Conor has a mod on his site that you can purchase which will help ease the management of URIs.. Price is reasonable, and it works like a DREAM.. Worth every penny!!!:yes:

Hi, I have installed ceon uri mapping ver.4.0.5 on zencart ver.1.3.9h locally. It works almost perfectly. I have two problems:

1. use the filter module product_finder_multiple_category_dropdowns_0-92 and only works on the homepage. From the pages of the products or product lists, it makes me choose only the first category and not the other.
2. I have installed the module hidecategories ver.2.0 and previously worked fine. Now in the admin, when I go to change the category to hide the folder, I hide the items missing cat. etc. and in their place of find items ceon. There is a conflict that can not be resolved.
   Can anyone help me? thanks
   PS Before you install the ceon, worked perfectly.

Hi:

is it ok to have the same URI for one manufacturer for each of the languages used or do we append each language URI with numbers?

v4.0.5, 1.39h

HI Mike,

mikebr:

It's fine to have the same name/URI for each language.

However, a bug was found in this exact area and has been fixed in 4.0.6 (language getting stuck on default language when changing from the "same" URI to the "same" URI in different language). So it won't always work correctly until 4.0.6 is out.. 4.0.6 will be out very soon, so you can wait for it before setting up your manufacturer URIs, just setting up your other URIs for the meantime.

This is the only known bug in the software, pretty pleased about that and eager to get the fic to you all (not that it affects many people).

All the best..
