Joomla 1.6 create SEF URL for content use alias.
HikaShop not used alias to category and product for create URL ?

Having simpler SEF URLs would be possible but then would increase the collision probability.
Suppose that you have a joomla category with the same name as a category in HikaShop and you get mysite.com/category for both and the system is not able to know which one to display when you click on the link.
That's something we will need to work on in the future and add options to select which parts you want to display or hide in the URLs.

For now, you can either:
- modify the file components/com_hikashop/router.php to meet your needs with the default joomla SEF system.
- use acesef which has a nice integration with hikashop for SEFed URLs
- setup redirect URLs in joomla 1.6 maybe ?

The problem you mention Nicolas, can be easily solved by adding the category ID and/or product Id of the Hikashop products or categories to the URL

Yes. That's exactly what we have now in the URLs when they are SEFed: [ mysite.com/component/hikashop/category/l...ubcategory-name.html](http://mysite.com/component/hikashop/category/listing/cid-14/subcategory-name.html)
You get the category name and the id in the URL.

The sef_ext.php file is for sh404sef.
The router.php file is for the joomla standard SEF.

In your category listing module, you need to have in the option "menu" a hikashop category listing menu selected. Otherwise, joomla won't convert component/hikashop and ?Itemid=1 to the name of your menu.

I modyfy router.php for short url:

function HikashopBuildRoute( &amp;$query )
{
$segments = array();
if (isset($query)) {
// $segments[] = $query;
unset( $query );
if (isset($query)) {
// $segments[] = $query;
unset( $query );
}
}elseif(isset($query)){
// $segments[] = $query;

unset( $query );
}

Hi,

component/hikashop is added at the beginning of the SEFed URL because there is no Itemid parameter in the non-SEF URL.
Add a Itemid=XXX where XXX is the id of the menu item you want for the display and the SEF system of Joomla will use the alias of the menu item instead of component/hikashop in the SEFed URL.

**Dear All,**
Joomla 2.5 + HikaShop Essential
I am also stuck here.
on one side of the good SEF URL:
[ www.picinybolt.hu/index.php/kategoria/pi.../23-fuestoelo-tartok](http://www.picinybolt.hu/index.php/kategoria/picinybolt/23-fuestoelo-tartok)
other side not:
[ maximotorshop.hu/index.php/component/hik...umik.html?Itemid=116](http://maximotorshop.hu/index.php/component/hikashop/kategoria/21-gumik.html?Itemid=116)
Each of them is on the SEF URL options.

"*/ component / hikashop*" and "*.html?Itemid=xx*" I would like to be removed from the URL.
How?
(I can not remember which is good, how did you ... :huh: )

Thanks for your help!

This means that the id that you added in the Itemid parameter of the URL is not a HikaShop type menu item.
Go in the menu manager of Joomla, edit the menu item with that id (if it exists, otherwise, change the menu item of your link to one which exists), and change the type of the menu item to a HikaShop type menu and it will work.

Hello! How to remove all: category, product, id etc. from URL-s?
My HikaShop version is 2.2.2 and Joomla 2.5.6

I have a small shop and I think I don't need a complicated structure, and instead of id product I will use code of product :dry:

Hi,

Thanks to go to Configuration &gt; Features &gt; SEF url options, and disable the option "Remove products and categories id in URLs ". If you don't see this option, thanks to update your HikaShop version.
