URI Management Tab

Re: URI Management Tab

I was not able to UPDATE uri's through an import even with different configurations. I always got an error message that the uri already exists.

I was able to delete uris through the management tab then reimport with the desired configuration.

I'm not sure if Add/Update is the correct label for the Data Management Import field but would be a nice feature to have.

Re: URI Management Tab

I changed the URI for my INVC page to /thank-you.html with a 301 redirect from the old URI.

I am not having any problems on the INVC page but is it good practice to change the IPN settings in the PayPal Website Payments Pro account to reflect the updated URI?

Re: URI Management Tab

I don't think so. PayPal Standard (IPN) has its own URL it needs to return to. It should look somethng like this:

http://www.domain.coml/mm5/paypali.mvc?

Re: URI Management Tab

The numbers outputted from page:code seem to be from Screens not Pages.

I am seeing the same thing here, some of the "screens" show numbers for the URI, for example the "OUSL" screen shows "/-805.html" as the URI and "OINF" shows just "/.html" as the URI . Is this a bug? See attached image.

Re: URI Management Tab

The numbers automatically get added when you you try to create multiple URIs with the same URI. Depending on your template multiple pages/products/categories have something that is causing to be generated with the same URI so Miva is adding the numbers to make them unique.

In my case since these are not actual pages, can I just delete these URI's ?

Re: URI Management Tab

How do you redirect /mm5/merchant.mvc to the canonical homepage www.domain.com/

Also, how do you redirect /mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT to canical homepage www.domain.com through the URI manager?

I've tried adding these to the SFNT URI manager but it doesn't redirect. Is this something that needs to be done through htaccess?

Re: URI Management Tab

Thanks Brennan for the quick reply.

Yes I did that and it it serves the SFNT content but the address bar doesn't change so it does not appear to be serving a 301 redirect.

I don't want www.domain.com, www.domain.com/merchant.mvc, and www.domain.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT to have duplicate content. I want the merchant.mvc and merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT to issue 301 redirects and stay removed from Google's index.

Can I issue a 301 from the SFNT URI Manager or do I need to do it through the htaccess?

Re: URI Management Tab

For that use case you will need to add the 301 redirect in the .htaccess file.

Re: URI Management Tab

Hmmm. removed htaccess code snippet because it broke my site.

Re: URI Management Tab

Should the PROD page have a URI listed in the URI tab or just leave it blank as it gets overwritten by the specific product's URI? Same for the CTGY page.

Example: www.mydomain.com/product-display.html would output the PROD page template with no content.
