How can you change the URL of the website to include SEO,

so instead of:

www.domain.com/index.php?route=common/home

it will just be:

www.domain.com/
or
www.domain.com/whatever-you-want

I want to be able to put the business name hard coded SEO in the template for better search engine results

this vqmod does that

http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... ogo&page=3


if you want to hard code the link then find this file catalog > view > theme > YOUR THEME > template > common > header.tpl

find this line of code

Code: Select all

<div id="logo"><a href="<?php echo $home; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $logo; ?>" title="<?php echo $name; ?>" alt="<?php echo $name; ?>" /></a></div>
add your link like this

Code: Select all

<div id="logo"><a href="http://YOUR LINK HERE.com"><img src="<?php echo $logo; ?>" title="<?php echo $name; ?>" alt="<?php echo $name; ?>" /></a></div>

Thanks a lot, changing the head.tpl did do the job great.

although, the domain is different to the business name. Is it possible to add the business name somewhere in the index page so that the SEO can find it?

When people type the business name, the link should come up on google?

You

You can also change the

Code: Select all

$data['home'] = $this->url->link('common/home');
to

Code: Select all

$data['home'] = $this->config->get('config_url'); 
in

Code: Select all

controller/common/header.php
file in order to apply index reoute solution to global use.

And don't forget to change

Code: Select all

	$data['redirect'] = $this->url->link('common/home');
to

Code: Select all

	$data['redirect'] =$this->url->link('common/home');
in

Code: Select all

 controller/common/language.php
file.

This will apply fix to all templates that use $home variable as index URL.
