Category Pagination

-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.swiftplantspares.com/jcb-parts-catalogue
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.4
-- Joomla version -- : 3.7.0

I'm on 2.6.4, so perhaps this has changed in version 3 (if there's no solution I'll probably need to move to other software rather than purchasing 3, which would be a shame). When using the category pagination, it's implemented with JavaScript over a POST request, like so:

<a class="pagenav" title="3" onclick="javascript: var f = document.forms['adminForm_hikashop_category_information_menu_302_2_bottom']; f.limitstart_hikashop_category_information_menu_302_2.value=36; f.submit();return false;">3</a>

Thanks, that helps in part (back button works without refresh, unique URLs). But it is still using JavaScript links, and now going through a redirect to get to the next page each time. This is not good for search engines indexing and ranking these pages (also not great for performance). I need the pagination links to be proper HTML links ("a" tags) using GET parameters. Is it possible without modifying core files? Thanks.

That's great news, thanks. So if you're going to add that in the next version, does that mean if I override the pagination in the template I will also be overriding the changes in the next version?

Another issue is, what about when filters are selected? I assume that will be included in the pagination links when you do it, but difficult for me to do in the override? Perhaps it's best I wait for the next version, would appreciate your input.

Yep, thanks, sounds a good plan.

It does matter for SEO. This is not just a case of having stuff picked up and indexed. When pages are exposed properly through internal linking within the site structure, it helps with ranking by inferring context and relevance for those pages, and giving them more weight.
