Manufacturer SEO url problem

Hello!

the problem is with the manufacturers list of our site,

I don!t know how can I solve this problem, which is

ALL The SEO pages are exist,
mysite.com/manufacturer

But the links are stoped to translate to SEO friendly, which now looks like this at the address bar after click
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?route=p ... urer_id=17

As I see the seo-url.php perfect url rewriting all of this url's by the aliases, which is existed in our database anyway.

I am not a site builder expert, and don’t know the logical structure how links build or rewrited and how is it happening.

For example the first brand is 4ms Pedals the alias is 4ms-pedals, it should translated like this
http://www.mysite.com/4ms-pedals this page exist anyway when its written to the addressbar manually, but the manufacturer links are not translated

solved

Can this solution be published if known by someone.

Sharing stuff can help everybody and make this forum more usefull for people who are looking for results.

Ok, figured it out and here is a solution:

Set in Backend - ADMIN - Catalog - Manufacturer your seo keyword for the manufacturer

Open catalog/controller/common/seo_url.php

Add the word INFO as in the attached jpegs

This would show the manufacturer as a nice seo url. I am trying to find out more how to replace the ? in front of page=5

http://yourwebsite.com/seo-keyword?page=8

I hope that if someone has a problem and they can solve it by themselves they also post the solution so others can use this.

Cheers to all of you

hey, its already there.

Check the following:

-Do you have a unique SEO word for your manufacturer?
-Do you have a extension activated to disable links as manufacturer?
-Did you cleared your system cache? (system/cache)
-Did you cleard your vqmod cache? (vqmod/vqcache)

You can send also a link here of your website.
