I am running open cart Version 2.3.0.2 and just turned on the SEO friendly URL's. I did not find the default htaccess file that had to be renamed so I found a tutorial that told me to add this to my .htaccess file to get SEO friendly URL's

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
RewriteRule ^googlebase.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_base [L]
RewriteRule ^download/(.*) /index.php?route=error/not_found [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css)
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
OK SEO URL's work very nicely, but only if I fill in the SEO URL field for each Category and also each Product. I am going to have over 400 products in my store, isn't there a way to have the products URL automatically rewrite according to their name? Or do I have to buy and install a module for this? I don't know if I am missing a setting in my .htaccess or if I need an add on module that gives me this functionality. But it seems silly I have to manually write every category and/or product SEO URL. Of course I would love to be able to manually over-ride for specific categories just not the entire store.

Please advise.

Currently using Open Cart version 2.0.1.1

Alas, you will need an SEO URL extension for this

Many available in the extension store from Free to mucho dollar, all depends on how far you want to go with the SEO side of things.
