Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

Yes! thanks so much! I have been wanting this for a long time, .. finally its working! :clap:

glad to help!!

Would be easier to obtain help if you identify what constitutes your homepage? Almost anything would help, there are so many ways to identify what you have considered to be your homepage content. For example, when browsing your site (has web address been provided?) What is the url that is shown for the home option that typically appears in the upper left? What is the setting in the configurations section for the category to appear when opening the webpage. Have you used some sort of htaccess redirect to display some sort of customized page? $this_is_home_page is not something that "fits" into the CEON URI mapping table if that is what is meant. Otherwise, what is meant by mapping the variable/how was it used?

Btw, this discussion is beginning to become off-topic to this forum, unless a direct correlation can be made to the operation of CeON urI mapping, the discussion of above should be continued on a new thread.
I agree.. It appears that this whole off topic line of conversation has finally come to a conclusion.. NOTHING in it relates to Ceon URI usage.. only a few users desire for an "off-book" use of the module.. I would submit that if Conor Kerr were still with us, he would have respectfully asked for the discussion to be moved elsewhere.. Since this module no longer has a real active maintainer.. anyway.. shrug glad folks got the solution they wanted..

With all my respects, Divavocals, my question was totally related to the mod. I asked for help for mapping the homepage in different languages. If you don´t have an answer, it´s ok, but I think that your opinion about the "quality" of post is the only thing that doesn´t matter to this module.

Problem is that an answer was provided for a standard ZC installation that worked on a standard ZC install, but not sure if there was ever success in applying it.

The last 3+ pages have been about refining which host to display using hard coded uris to address a monster created to address a perception. (I.e. If one iives in denmark, why would one break the boundaries and order from the uk or why would one from the uk choose to reach out to a site in denmark?) And then after the address is entered, the fascade continues, even on the landing page, the links presented have not been rewritten, which is abnormal for this plugin and in effect results in two uris being valid and published to reach various aspects of the website. Etc... Etc... Etc...

This is not to deter posting about an issue. The issue/question was posed the relationship between the a site and the functionality of Ceon URI Mapping was established, this should have then been moved to an alternate thread with a link to that thread posted here for those tht had interest. Yes, I've been on both sides of that before, one to keep on going and I would like to think I've learned more and recognize better when a topic should continue elsewhere. This isn't about who is better or cares more or whatever, it's at least partially about readability, applicability, and resolution.

As said, if concerned about the message that was quoted above as related to a satisfactory rewrite of an address using a language identifier, it is still unknown/unclear of whether that was resolved or not. I understand there is a difference in languages and am not going to pick on that, but from the above statement to DivaVocals about providing a solution to the problem asked about it appears that the issue is still unresolved.

Bingo!!! None of it related to SUPPORTING this module at all..

Ok, maybe I have been lost in translation. It that´s the case, I apologize...

I have a slight problem. I'll admit I might have cheated on this by making some modifications to Easy Populate 4 to allow for the direct importation of the URI Mapping via a CSV. However, I noticed that the links that would generate a link to a product page, aren't showing the URI mapping but instead still show the full ZenCart link instead of the remapped URI. I know I can see the database row where it should be. but it is still not generating. Any advice?

Would need to elaborate more. Are you saying the table is populated with a rewritten URI, the product_id, the product type, the language and the value set as active? Or is none of that making it into your table?

Sorry about that. Yes the entire row is being imported via custom coding I made in EasyPopulate 4. Each row is being given a rewritten URI, product_id, product_type, and the language and value are set as active.

And you do in fact have a product type of products_cards_ufs_info? Is this the first that you have had/used such a product type to display a link? Have you updated the necessary CEON Mapping file(s) to handle this product type?

Which mappings files do I need to update? I don't think I've done anything to manage that.

EDIT: Wait, just got it.

I had to edit /catalog/includes/extra_datafiles/ceon_uri_mapping_product_pages.php to add the page there into the $ceon_uri_mapping_product_pages array.
NB: To anyone who is using custom product types, make sure that you declared a constant for the "FILENAME_" either in /catalog/includes/extra_datafiles/extra_datafiles or the default /catalog/includes/filenames.php. Copy the constant name (the part of the define line in all caps) to that array and continue.

Realize you almost ran out of time to update, but did that solve the issue?

That indeed did solve the issue and now all my products have the proper URI links being generated. Thanks.

Glad it is solved, and as far as "cheating", I can't say that it is, I've done something similar. And as identified the issue was clearly in the "setup"/modification of the URI Mapping program to support additional data types as described/identified at least in the previously existing website and possibly a few other locations.

Hi,
I'm running ZC 1.5.1 and just installed Ceon 4.4.3.
The installation was smooth and I have created links for all my products and categories, however the links that I created for my ezpages doesn't map properly, they still look like the old links? I tried searching here for answers but couldn't find any. Probably a quick fix, any ideas?

Thanks for a great mod!

What method was used to map to the ezpage(s)? The auto-create? Do you have another ezpage plugin installed that recognizes multiple languages? Verified the merge/install of the ezpage portion of the code?

I have tried both auto and manual. I don't have any ezplugins for multilanguage that I know of. I have uploaded the ezpage file again. Still the same results.
Have a look at the website, http://www.scaffoldusa.com
Click "New Products" and look at the URL. It should read /new-products
Now, try changing the address to /new-products. It shows an empty page, but it's showing a page, not a 404.

I'm confused, could it be that my template has something to do with this? I tried changing the page title in ez-pages and it worked, just to verify that the ez-pages was actually being used.

I'm grateful for any ideas you might have!

There are posts from the original author on this.. If you are using EZ Pages for some of the store pages (new, featured, specials, all products) this module will NOT create a URI for these kinds of EZ pages.. There are instructions in the readme for creating URIs for pages that are not auto-generated..

I'm not sure why you think or are saying that new products, or any of the items in the upper menu are considered ez-pages as they all point to static pages which require manual entry into the ceon_uri_mappings table. (See instructions). Basically if the main_page doesn't equal page, index, manufacturer, any of the default (or manually expanded) product types with _info attached at the end, then the link to the address needs to be "manually" entered.

I did notice that for some reason the zenID follows around in the uri until one of the rewritten uris is used... That seems odd as it should only really be displayed on the first page visited.
