Joomla! 2.5.24 HikaShop Starter 2.3.2 If i'm make "Category SEF name" empty and than switch ON "Remove products and categories id in URLs" than I cannot get access to categories from view by URL, just if i add category ID before alias of it. For example: with this config (like at screen shoot in attachments) i can get access by link: http://local/categories/14-palto but not by this: http://local/categories/palto "categories" - alias of menu link (or how it calls) Any ideas? Thanks in advance. **UPD:** all works correct if use hikaShop menu, but not Main Menu. Also found that I can't make "Category SEF name" and "Product SEF name" both empty because system tell me: "you can't have the same SEF name for product and category". Maybe need use exclude from checking when "SEF name " equal to "". - [ ![2014-08-21_231923.png](/forum/attachment/19145) ](/forum/attachment/19145 "...-21_231923.png") [ ](/forum/attachment/19145?download=1 "...-21_231923.png") - [ ![2014-08-21_232251.png](/forum/attachment/19146) ](/forum/attachment/19146 "...-21_232251.png") [ ](/forum/attachment/19146?download=1 "...-21_232251.png") - [ ![2014-08-21_232537.png](/forum/attachment/19147) ](/forum/attachment/19147 "...-21_232537.png") [ ](/forum/attachment/19147?download=1 "...-21_232537.png") Last edit: 12 years 2 months ago by [NickCool](/forum/user/33863-nickcool "View NickCool's Profile").

But look - it will work with menu if i make categories and products SEF empty by correcting in table '_hikashop_config' rows where attribute `config_namekey` = 'product_sef_name' and 'category_sef_name': [ ![2014-08-23_024615.png](/forum/attachment/19171) ](/forum/attachment/19171 "...-23_024615.png") subcategory page: [ ![2014-08-23_024710.png](/forum/attachment/19172) ](/forum/attachment/19172 "...-23_024710.png") product page: [ ![2014-08-23_024746.png](/forum/attachment/19173) ](/forum/attachment/19173 "...-23_024746.png") menu structure: [ ![2014-08-23_024925.png](/forum/attachment/19174) ](/forum/attachment/19174 "...-23_024925.png") How about this? I'm need just this structure for SEO, but I need to add menus manually, but we don't have a lot yet. **UPD**: maybe exists more comfortable and safer way to do that?

The SEF system has been improved in the past releases ; and some improvements to detect and check the menus to provide nicer URL has been made. I will notify Nicolas about your configuration ; maybe we can see to remove the restriction on "both SEF empty" but we have to do some tests before ; I'm not sure that if you forget to add a menu for a category, the links were broken. So maybe there is another improvement to make ! (but it needs tests). Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

So we can't allow that by default.

So we can't allow that by default. Hi! Thanks for answer, will configure it manually ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/8.png ":)") I think all will work just if make menu for each categories (and maybe if products and categories will not have same alias). In other case I had problems, also if i had disabled "show ID for cats and products" and make an 'empty' SEF for categories and don't have menu for each category. P.S.: sorry for my bad English.
