Hi,

I need to modify the way hikashop shows the urls.

This is what I get:
www.todo-aerografia.com/ tienda/producto/517-aerografo-elite-e4182/category_pathway-82,
and www.todo-aerografia.com/ tienda/categoria/517-aerografo-elite-e4182/category_pathway-82,
and this is what I want:
www.todo-aerografia.com/ name-of-category/517-aerografo-elite-e4182

1. get rid of "/tienda" which I can do with htaccess
2. change "/producto" or "/categoria" to the name of the category
3. get rid of "/category_pathway-82"

Please help

Thank you

Walter

Hi,

For the category_pathway, if you toggle the "simplified breadcrumb" option of the configuration, you won't have it anymore.

Regarding the producto/categoria part that you want to be dynamically replaced by the name of the category, there is no easy way to do it.
Either you use a third party SEF rewriting extension where you would specify alias URLs (it can be hard work if you have a lot of products), or you edit the file components/com_hikashop/router.php and add custom code in it to replace that part of the URL by the current category.

Hi Nicolas,

Thank you for the prompt response.

I wouldn't like to use any 3rd party SEF component (bad experience) and I have no skills in php. Could you please help me with the code?

Thanks again

Walter

We won't be. It's kind of complex and not something we can just give two lines of code to add somewhere. It needs proper development.
