As Jack_mcs stated you can't do that with this contribution as it is currently. However I am currently working on a more modern update to this contribution. That will display a more standardized url formatting like mysite.com/tools/20oz-hammer/ for example. The initial release will be soon I hope, if all goes well. But, this will only be a beta version for testing and updating and such.

For those wishing to remove the .html extension from the url here is what needs done. This will get the url to look like this: myshop.com/samsung-galaxy-p-28/ Keep in mind this still needs further testing on shops but works on un-modified shops. 1) In seo.class.php search for .html and replace with / 2) In your .htaccess file remove all instances of .html so it looks like this RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-(.*)$ product_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} On a side note, I think the (.*) could be updated as it very well could make a server go into an infinite, not sure which would be better for this though if any???? Eric

Next on the list to do is to remove the php extensions site wide so that they all are like site.com/contact/ or /conditions/

Jack, I sent you a pm with some info on this. Thanks, Eric

I am thinking that the way the seo-class.php identifies the products ie -p- in the htaccess file would need to be re-written. Still trying to read 3,000 lines of code to see exactly what does what.

Update, I have manage to get the html extension removed from all URI's now the look like this /osc/samsung-galaxy-p-28/

I'm working on that now. Your right though, the seo.class.php probably would have to be updated. I had noticed that if you type the url in it works but when you click on the product link it dont. It still has the -p-xx.html attached. Perhaps a database reset would work, not sure thou. I am sure that I am determined to get this to work, one way or another. osC is way behind the curve on seo urls. Thanks to all of your work thats the only thing going good for it. I will keep you posted on any updates I encounter with this. If all else fails one could just use RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-(.*)/$ product_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} That would for sure remove the .html bit at least. Thanks, Eric

Hi Jack, I think I found a way to use the re-write rules to remove the -p-xx.html bit from the url. It seems to work on my server but haven't fully tested it yet. Perhaps during your testing you could try it out. This basically makes the URL look like this http://www.myshop.com/my-cool-product/ Which is the same kind of re-writes as Word Press and other open source projects already have in place. # Begin Ultimate SEO V2.2d Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On # RewriteBase instructions # Change RewriteBase dependent on how your shop is accessed as below. # http://www.mysite.com = RewriteBase / # http://www.mysite.com/catalog/ = RewriteBase /catalog/ # http://www.mysite.com/catalog/shop/ = RewriteBase /catalog/shop/ # Change the following line using the instructions above RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ product_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ index.php?cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ index.php?manufacturers_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ popup_image.php?pID=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ all-products.php?fl=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ articles.php?tPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ article_info.php?articles_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ articles.php?authors_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ product_reviews.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ product_reviews_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ faqdesk_info.php?faqdesk_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ faqdesk_index.php?faqPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ faqdesk_reviews_info.php?faqdesk_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ faqdesk_reviews_article.php?faqdesk_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ information.php?info_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ links.php?lPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)([0-9]+)/$ info_pages.php?pages_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ newsdesk_info.php?newsdesk_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ newsdesk_index.php?newsPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ newsdesk_reviews_info.php?newsdesk_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)(.*)/$ newsdesk_reviews_article.php?newsdesk_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)([0-9]+)/$ pollbooth.php?pollid=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} # End Ultimate SEO V2.2d I do know that this does work for sure but one would have to add it to every last product and so on.

Also while changing password within the front end it keeps telling me that, Your Current Password did not match the password in our records. Please try again.

Hi Jack, I tried using the character conversion to convert _=>- This did not work. This isn't imperative to work I just thought I would try it. Thanks

Hello all, Has anyone got this to work with master password 1.0? Every time I enter the master password it tells me that it is incorrect. Thanks

Thanks Jack, I really appriciate that, Thank you

Hi Jack, Sorry to be a pain about this. I thought I had fixed the config file right but evidently I must have done something else.

Hi all, for some reason the date for the posts is about 5 months of. I posted today and its displaying, Date Created: 06.12.2010 Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks Jack I did goof on the config file. Thanks for your time.

This would be hard to do with no information If your hard coding all of your links you have to use standard php link ie <?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link('your_directory/your_page.php') . '">Your Text Here</a>'; ?>

Your site and links, work on my end. It appears you don't have Ultimate SEO url turned on.

Sorry Jack, it was a late night. That problem was sorta my problem but not totally. The is, I had created a site, and once finished I compressed it, downloaded, and then uploaded it to the clients web hosting account. Once I uploaded it uncompressed, installed the DB, and made the necessary config.php file changes. The whole site works perfect but the urls. All of the product urls are the same, links are the same, and so on. I don't know for sure what the issue is being its the same files, same database structure, the same everything... Its just within a different account. What happens is the urls append the oscidxxxxx to the end of the seo urls so you get this my-cool-product-p-9.html?oscid=xxxxxxxx included on every url, no matter how many times you click around. The above solution may still be the answer, I shall try. If you would like I could pm you with a link, I'd rather not post it. Thank you so much for your time

I know this sounds silly but my brain isn't functioning well at the moment... Are you referring to php links? If so then this is all I use. Thanks Jack

I'm getting the same issue while moving a shop from one account to another on the same server. Works on the first but not the second. I tried reset cache, deleting the database and re creating it. Double checked install, and so on...

This should be what your looking for Ask a question

My guess is that's your issue. Try using the default size. I can assure you that all templates work within the current version of sts.

Make sure in your sts template your head section look like this <head> <!--$headcontent--> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="$templatedir/stylesheet.css"> </head> Only the <!--$headcontent--> needs to be there to get all the header tag code and head information to display
