Please explain if you have any idea...

Previous version of opencart i.e. 1.4.0 have a class called 'Url' under system/engine to convert http and https urls like below:

Code: Select all

$this->data['home'] = $this->url->http('common/home');
$this->data['special'] = $this->url->http('product/special');
OR
'href'  => $this->model_tool_seo_url->rewrite($this->url->http('product/category&path=' . $menu['category_id']))
But in version 1.4.6 or 1.4.7, it has been removed and had coded like below:

Code: Select all

$this->data['home'] = HTTP_SERVER . 'index.php?route=common/home';
$this->data['special'] = HTTP_SERVER . 'index.php?route=product/special';
$this->data['redirect'] = $this->model_tool_seo_url->rewrite(HTTP_SERVER . 'index.php?route=' . $route . $url);
Anyone help me to know, any big reason to make the above hard coded?? Think if someone wants to change the default page from 'index.php' to 'index1.php' or URL rewriting (by code).....how much it would be difficult to make changes everywhere?

Thanks....

The old way the urls work is worng from a OOP perspective. The url class should be completly different from what it is.

Also it works better with multi-shop.

you can do $shop_info['store_url'] . 'index.php?route=common/home';



just openc up all the files you have changed and use a mass search and replace.
