-- url of the page with the problem -- : 181.224.148.114/~carra2/
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.3
-- Joomla version -- : 3.5
-- PHP version -- : 5.3.2
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : chrome

I am trying to get the URLs working in a predictable and logical manner. I am getting close but note that I am getting two different URL's for the same product

going via the front page the steps are:

181.224.148.114/~carra2/
181.224.148.114/~carra2/bags/category/panniers
181.224.148.114/~carra2/bags/super-c-rear-panniers

but if you click on the breadcrumbs it gives the additional 2nd level category that is removed by hikashop (akthough I have created a menu item for the 2nd level category)

Home Bags Panniers Super C Rear Panniers

181.224.148.114/~carra2/bags
181.224.148.114/~carra2/bags/panniers
181.224.148.114/~carra2/bags/panniers/super-c-rear-panniers

which is really how I would prefer both to be

Any solution to this?

Its not a good idea to have duplicate URL's and also it is a bit confusing for customers

Hi,

See "simplified breadcrumb" :
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/5...ig.html#features_sef

If you want more "complex" URL for your products you need to generate the canonical URL according to that.
And if you change your HikaShop SEF configuration while product canonical has been already generated ; they won't be re-generated which mean that you will have to clean your product canonicals and recreate them.

Hi

With simplified breadcrumbs turned off it still removes the sub category from the URL and gives a strange URL with a category pathway added

eg

181.224.148.114/~carra2/bags/super-c-rea.../category_pathway-33

whereas logically it should be

181.224.148.114/~carra2/bags/panniers/super-c-rear-panniers/

to match the category structure

I seemed to have come up with a solution

1) simplified breadcrumbs on
2) set a menu item for each category matching the category structure - with a canonical URL specified
3) set use canonical urls and generate if missing

delete all current canonical urls in products if they have been generated already
