Hi,

We want to have on URL of the search results, the category alias, and the product alias:
sitename.com/hikashop-category-alias/product-alias

Right now in the result page, all products have this:
../hikashop-menu-for-categories-listing/product-alias

Thanks

Hi,

There is no way to have the category alias in the URL of product pages, regardless of whether it's the search results or normal listings.
It's only possible to have:
menu-item-alias/product-sef-name/product-alias
The product-sef-name can be removed with the "product SEF name" setting of the HikaShop configuration.
And then, if you configure correctly your menu items structure, you can have a way to have menu item aliases which correspond to the category aliases and reach the result you want.
If you're able to reach the result you want on the product listings, then just enter that URL in the "canonical URL" setting of the products, and then activate the "force canonical URLs on listings" setting. That way, the search results will also use these canonical URLs.

I had to force the canonical url of the categories, removing the id manually, but the products are many and I can not fix the address manually

Hi,

The update won't change the way the setting is configured or the menu item which is used in the search results.
If you don't have a canonical URL for the products, then the search results will use the menu item configured in the settings of the HikaShop products search plugins. So maybe the menu item you want is not configured there.

You're now talking about the id in the URLs. If you now get the ids while before you didn't, then maybe it's because of a bug that we patched on the 4th of July. To get that patch, just download again the install package on our website in the menu My account>My subscriptions and install it on yours.

OK

I will try to do it with "Canonical URL" as a test I made worked fine, not only in Search results but also in Tags results, so I have a unique URL for products regardless where I am landing from.

My question is:
1. How to make a mass action to have as canonical URL this: category-alias/product-alias
2. Taking into account that I have multiple categories for some products what it will be the "category-alias"? The 1st category selected in the product or what?

Thanks

Hi,

You'll have to run one mass action for each category. You would then have one filter on the category, and one action "update the values" on the column canonical URL as an operation with the text:
concat('XXX', product.product_alias)
where XXX is the alias of the category selected in the filter.

Hi
I tried your proposition that will give me the solution that I was looking for, but I can not make the mass action to give the result I want.
Please see the attached image.



Any help?
To remind you, I want to have a canonical URL that will be: "category-alias/product-alias"
Thank you

concat('XXX/',product.product_alias)

Just let you know, make sense?
