Hi Guys,

I'm having trouble with the SEO friendly URL's for pages such as the default contact us page and returns.

They display with url's such as

/index.php?route=information/contact

or

/index.php?route=account/return/insert

How do we make it so these are like /contact or /returns instead of these big horrible URL's , I've tried numerous plugins, searched the forums and tried ways of doing this but nothing works so any help would be appreciated.

I want to make it so the links also change in breadcrumbs and on the footer links where the ugly URL's currently link through.

Many thanks in advance
Martin

Can I also just state that this is all working on products and the standard pages listed in the information section of the admin area, its just the contact us /returns/sitemap/brands/gift vouchers etc etc pages that are generated by opencart.

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for. Only one link missed out though, /index.php?route=product/compare but still, awesome thanks

If I forgot to mention: it's OpenCart Vv1.5.6

Just noticed mine is saying the same thing, hadn't noticed before. Strange, I'll have a quick look into it myself and let you know if I find anything :S

EDIT: Looks like the script is taking us to the page /cart/cart?remove=x instead of /cart?remove=x not sure why though.

Had the same problem and finally fixed it. in the change_index_php_route.xml file, on line 83 it says:

Code: Select all

} elseif (isset($data['route']) && $data['route'] ==   'checkout/cart') {
just add a check for the remove query, so it will look like this:

Code: Select all

} elseif (isset($data['route']) && $data['route'] ==   'checkout/cart' && $key != 'remove') {
that's it

Hi all,

Anyone else having the re-order link broken with the vqmod "change_index_php_route.xml" posted above?

I've been really happy with it so far, not too hard to add new routes in, but I am stumped on how to get the re-order button to work. For now I just put "display:none;" on it.

Thanks

Yes, hadn't noticed it before but like you say I'm having the same problem - the re-order button (from previous order history when logged in) takes you to /order-history/order-history?order_id=1 and comes back as page not found

Looks like the above fix for the original error works for this problem too :)

On line 93 change:
} elseif (isset($data['route']) && $data['route'] == 'account/order') {
to
} elseif (isset($data['route']) && $data['route'] == 'account/order' && $key != 'remove') {

EDIT: Actually no that's not working :(

Tkank you very much, fullphat and Anung.
Now all my urls are seo friendly.

I just have one little problem:
http://www.my-site.com/returns
http://www.my-site.com/sitemap
http://www.my-site.com/login
http://www.my-site.com/cart
http://www.my-site.com/register
and so on.

How can i change these keywords (return, sitemap, login, cart, register) ?
