[CubeCart] URLs still the same as before

Postby mrdangleberry » Fri Feb 26, 2010 9:51 am

Hi

I am looking at the auto generated .htaccess and my cubecart 4 site.

The urls of my products are the same as before the installation:

http://www.mysite.com/Test-Category/tes ... rod_5.html

which then redirects to

http://www.mysite.com/test-product-name-5

Firstly, is there no way to get rid of the old urls altogether? A redirect seems very clumbsy.
Having read the description of the mod, I was under the impression that these urls would no longer be publically visible.

Secondly, is there anyway I can display the category name in the final url? I can't see how to do this.

Am I missing something obvious here?

Are there any instuctions? msu_tweak.ini makes no sense to me at all.

many thanks

Please go to CubeCart admin panel - General settings and set "Use search engine friendly URL?" to "No".

You can do so by settings uri_mode to "normal" in includes/msu_tweak.ini file.

Ah

Makes sense now that I have disable the SEO option in admin.

Is there an easy way of removing the category number from view?

Many thanks

Current MSU version does not support such option.
