As long as the HikaMarket saveForm have the line Code: if(!in_array($k, array('product_code','product_alias')) && !isset($product->$k)) the product_alias can't be override by HikaMarket so HikaShop will receive an empty value for the product_alias and will be able to generate it.

I wanted to say that the product_alias and the product_code are not copied from the template to the product, so they shouldn't affect the product during the save. But, if the fields are available for the vendor in the front-end, it is highly possible that the content from the product template is loaded and displayed in the product edition page when you create a new product. The product template fill the product page with all is content in order to have "default content". Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

HikaMarket does not generate the product alias but the HikaShop router does. I think that if the product have a bracket, the router can't do his job properly for the alias generation so the best is to use the HikaShop code from the "saveForm" function for the HikaMarket "frontSaveForm" one. By replacing: Code: $status = $this->save($product); if($status) { By Code: if($shopConfig->get('alias_auto_fill', 1) && empty($product->product_alias)) { $productClass->addAlias($product); // add a letter at the beginning of the alias to avoid issues when the alias of a product starts with a number if($shopConfig->get('sef_remove_id', 0) && (int)$product->alias > 0) $product->alias = $shopConfig->get('alias_prefix', 'p') . $product->alias; $product->product_alias = $product->alias; unset($product->alias); } $status = $this->save($product); if($status) { And it should be better.

I want to release HIkaMarket 1.5.0 for the end of the month (or next week if I found too much things to change). For the moment my tests are going well but I'm not fully happy with the rendering under Joomla 2.5 (with the default template) but in Joomla 3.x it's not bad at all. But what I am sure is that, the next release will be the bigger release on HikaMarket I ever made since the 1.0.0 version !

I rolled back the change and since then I havent been able to add a product front end or back. I just get a 404 error. in the front end an alias is not created. In the back end an alias is created but the new products still have a 404 error. I decided to upgrade to the latest version of hikashop & hikamarket and I still have the same problem (which is odd) I checked com_hikamarket/classes/product.php to re-add the changes we have been through and they all look implemetend throughout -is there any other files that affect the saving of a product that I should check? thanks Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzIyLW1hcmtldC1idWctcmVwb3J0Lzg3MjIxMS1wcm9ibGVtcy1jcmVhdGluZy1wcm9kdWN0cy13aXRoLWJyYWNrZXRzLWluLW5hbWU/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[christofu](/forum/user/31338-christofu "View christofu's Profile")** - [![christofu's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/31338-christofu "View christofu's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/31338-christofu) Less More - Posts: 108 - Thank you received: 6 - - 12 years 2 days ago [\#177358](#177358) by [christofu](/forum/user/31338-christofu "View christofu's Profile") Replied by *[christofu](/forum/user/31338-christofu "View christofu's Profile")* on topic *[Problems creating products with brackets in name](/forum/22-market-bug-report/872211-problems-creating-products-with-brackets-in-name#177358 "-- url of the page with the problem -- : siftmrkts.com -- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.3 -- HikaMarket version -- : 1.4.4 -- Joomla version -- : 3.3.3 Hi, currently when I create a oroduct that has a bracket in the name e.g. boots (1949), the product will not appear either a 404 error or "product cannot be found" error.

The 404 said that the "page" is not found. But if I try with a page like : [ siftmrkts.com/vintage/vroom-product](http://siftmrkts.com/vintage/vroom-product) I got a working HikaShop page telling that the product does not exists. So I guess it's SEF related. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

I'm guessing its something to do with the way it strips the special characters??
