..except when you search for something /index.php?route=product/search&filter_name=keyword
Any ideas on how to SEO this into simply.. /search?

I wanted a vqmod solution as we're using the CMS/news/blog addon which also mods the seo_url.php file and making hard coded changes in combination with this seemed unwise.
But I wasn't keen on the vqmod-only mod that has been posted (which doesn't use a database, and results in urls like "account/account" and "information/contact-us" instead of "account" or "contact-us") and would've preferred amdev's database solution in vqmod format.
So I wrote a vqmod xml using amdev's code, attached (hope it's ok to share, gave credit for the code). All you have to do then is include it in your vqmod/xml directory and run the "INSERT INTO url_alias" SQL commands that uksitebuilder contributed a few posts back.
Confirmed working alongside the newsCMS mod.
Thank you!
The code and method is awesome! Really like it!

I am hoping someone will be able to help me out, as the following problem has had me pulling my hair out and still no further on to knowing what to do!
I have bought the Blog Manager extension and added the default route and keyword to the url_alias in my database as I have with other pages that needed it (all of which but this work brilliantly) but even though the blog pages have the correct keyword showing in the database and the admin, the address is still showing as the old non seo friendly url, yet when I type in the seo friendly url it takes me to the same page.
I am geussing that in the seo_url.php file in catelog>controller>common needs something adding as the blog uses this for the category pages categories?category_id=* (* the number of the category) and this for the articles article?article_id=* (* for article number)
Can anyone help me get this to work so that the seo friendly url is the one that is used please?

Can anyone help me with the above post? Or show me how to modify the SEO_mod.xml file to add the urls of /category&category_id and article?category_id=1&article_id=1 so it follows the same ideals as the route on there currently does so that when i then add them to the database it changed them to the name of the article and the category?
Your workarround works as a charm on 1.5.1.2 (I have a running shop with it)amdev wrote:Hi all, there r

Also the same with account/order
Do you know more at this moment about this problem?
Thanks a lot for all of you.
I use the vqmod xml file and insert the SQL. And now, it's working.
But, another question, anyone can help rewrite the tag and search pages to seo friendly urls?
The details as follow:
Tag pages
from http://www.domain.com/index.php?route=p ... g=keywords
to http://www.domain.com/tag/keywords
Search pages
from http://www.domain.com/index.php?route=p ... e=keywords
to http://www.domain.com/search/keywords
Please, please help for this.

I've been searching the forums for an answer for a while now and this is the closest I've come to someone else asking the same question, yipppee for me! I'm using oc 1.5.1.3 with seo turned on as well as the deadcow seo extension and everything works marvelously. With seo turned on all the information pages work just fine with basic URL like this:Rebecka wrote:...But why does it say /information/contact and only /about_us? Why is information before contact?
Code: Select all
www.mystore.com/about_us
www.mystore.com/shipping
www.mystore.com/paymentsCode: Select all
www.mystore.com/information/contactI know, I know, it's a minor irritation but none the less would someone be kind enough to point the way? Is there a file that would allow me to figure out why oh why /information/ must be used in the seo friendly url for the contact page and no other pages? I mean it must have been overlooked as it's the only page requiring this longer url.
Thanks for your time...

Hello
Really interesting and long running post. I've read right through and also been looking at other posts but my own question remains unanswered. I currently have SEO URL's turned off, but am keen to switch on asap. However, when I turn it on whilst they work, the old URL's still work too, causing a duplicate. For example my product pages are indexed on google and when SEO URL's is turned on and I do a google search, the link goes to the old URL (gibberish) instead of diverting to the new SEO URL.
I have considered 301's but they simply don't work for some reason? Plus it would be a mammoth job to do this for all pages and products. Am I missing something obvious or is this an issue? Any ideas on a way around this welcome....
Many thanks
C.
UPDATE: For anyone in the same predicament, canonical tags resolve this as they tell google that the SEO URL is the one to index.

You need to turn it on in the admin and rename the .htaccess.txt file to .htaccess then change the RewriteBase to / or /yourfoldername/ All of this is outlined in the install file. Are we just getting an influx of people too lazy to bother opening the install file or what?
I can't find the htaccess file any where in cpanel
How do i find it
You should see htaccess.txt in your route - public_html folder. If you don't, just create one (open notepad and save as htaccess.txt). Then upload it to public_html, add relevant content and chance to .htaccess.patkav wrote:Hi every body is talking about the htaccess file where can i find the htaccess.text file. it dosn't seem to be in my cpanel.

Hope you get sorted.
Hi,
I've been following this topic and was wondering if someone could point me in right direction before I throw something at this computer.
I have enabled seo in the settings and renamed the .htaccess.txt file. I am now getting some urls changed and some not. I have also installed the All Clean Urls mod via vxmod and it says its enabled but it hasnt done anything.
some of the categories have changed to a friendly url some havent.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks to amdev for providing solution for 1.4.9 version as well (http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... 2&start=20). I'm having a problem with it, though. I followed all the instructions but some links are still not being overwritten.
It didn't overwrite 'contact' and 'sitemap' in the sidebar, no pages in the sitemap itself and the breadcrumbs. I have contacted amdev with my issue, but I haven't heard from him for a month.
I hope someone could help me with this.
Thank you!
