hi

how do i fix the filter results? to make it search engine friendly.

at the moment i have this when applying filters

site.net/properties-for-sale?limitstart=...m_7=filter_Bedroom_7

how to make if search engine friendly or readable?

thanks

Hi,

Well, the URL generation uses the "namekey" of the filters.
So in your PHPMyAdmin, you can edit the entries in the table "hikashop_filter" to change the namekeys to what you want.
For the rest of the parameters in the URL, you won't be able to easily change it.

1. how can i achieve filter urls similar to these site?

www.lamudi.co.id

as you change the filters the url changes to something similar to the filters.


2. how can i change search_filter to search_keyword or just keyword?

3. how can i add tags to the search filters?

Hi,

1. Your filters in the URL are plenty readable.

site.net/properties-for-sale?limitstart=...m_7=filter_Bedroom_7

As I said, the texts filter_DesignorType_1 filter_Price_2 filter_Sort_3 filter_Type_4 filter_Bathroom_6 filter_Bathroom_6 filter_Bedroom_7 are the namekeys of your filters and you can change these in phpmyadmin to whatever you want.
What's left in your URL is :
- "limitstart" which can't be changed... it's for the pagination system.
- the "65" is the value of the filter. It can be changed to text if that filter filter_Type_4 is based on a custom product field. If it's based on a characteristic or categories, it can't be changed.
There is nothing else in the URL.

2. I don't understand your question. These texts are not in the URL you provided, so I don't understand what you want to change where.

3. Are you talking about the "tags" option you can find when you edit products ? These integrate with Joomla's tag system and it can't be easily integrated to the filter system. In that case, instead of using tags, I would recommend using a custom product field and then you could have a filter on that custom field.
