Cannot remove ".html" from product pages URLs in PrestaShop 1.5.3.0

[catalin-s]

In Schema of URLs / Route to products, I’ve changed the

 

{category:/}{id}-{rewrite}{-:ean13}.html

to

{category:/}{id}-{rewrite}{-:ean13}

 

but the product pages are still containing the “.html” at the end of the friendly URLs.

I have this issue after upgrading to PrestaShop 1.5.3.0 from 1.5.2.0 where the .html was not appearing in the product pages friendly URLs.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Cheers,

Adrian.

Hi,

Have you tried the usual clear cache, force compile smary & dont use cache etc?

[catalin-s]

Yes, I did it and even manual delete all data in the folders (except index.php)

cache/smarty/cache

cache/smarty/compile

But no luck. The product pages are still appearing with the .html in the URLs

Any other ideas?

Cheers,

Adrian.

same in 1.5.3.1

 

did anyone get any solutions?

[pepfoto]

This is NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!

 

All of our hard SEO work is now totally wasted because PS1.5.3 destroys the URLS when upgraded.

 

If I find a solution I will post it. If not, I am going to waste hundreds of hours of work and miss a potentially very large income

try this solution i found in the forge

That is not a solution, that is the description of the cause of the problem.

 

I found a fix: backup classes/php and replace it with a copy of classes/dispatcher.php from version 1.5.2.

 

For now, it seems to work.

SORRY I didnt see the actual fix due to the page scrolling down.

However, my fix works too.

thanks for the fix, but mine was also a fix

This code was put at the wrong place. Move it under line 397 :

Yeah, I saw, when I scrolled up, sorry for the confuse. Both work but yours might be the safer choice.

I hate to dredge up an older post but this is an issue for my shop (1.5.3.1). I moved the code as per instructions in the forge link and confirmed schema code in BO as indicated but still am getting .html on product pages. Did force compile, cleared cache, etc. but to no avail.

Any thoughts?

 

Solved:

Forge comment said:

P.S BO->Schema of URLs->Route to Product URL should be set as {categories:/}{id}-{rewrite}{-:ean13}.html

to make it work.

 

Instead - you should remove (as OP stated) .html from {categories:/}{id}-{rewrite}{-:ean13}.html

currently on the 1.5.3.1 the custom URL's do not work. i edited the Dispatcher.php itself (not the recommended way). I altered the default routes there and that worked. PS might of fixed it in the new version but i could not get the code in the forge to work properely either.

 

look at this thread http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/215984-schema-of-urls-not-updating/

[Whispar1]

Just saw this now - thanks for the link shoulders.

 

My urls are working now by combining the git code and editing the rewrite rule in the BO as indicated in my post above.

Now the only problem I have now is google is showing duplicate meta desc and titles in GWT not to mention over a 100 404's

because both the .html version and the non .html versions are showing up which is strange because trying to access the .html version of a page gives a 404 as expected so how is google seeing the .html version?

 

For example:

 

GATSBY Duvet Set - Whispar Design

 

/duvet-bedding/36-gatsby-duvet-set.html

 

/duvet-bedding/36-gatsby-duvet-set

 

I have tried a standard redirect rewrite rule in .htaccess for .html to non html but it didn't like it so I am not sure what to do next.

Tested on 1.5.3

 

First install:

http://www.prestasho...number-for-v15/

 

Then try this .... {category}/{-:ean13}{rewrite}/

 

This worked for me!

I fixed it overriding Dispatcher :

 

override/classes/Dispatcher.php

 

<?php

                if (is_array($modules_routes) && count($modules_routes))
                foreach($modules_routes as $module_route)
                  foreach($module_route as $route => $route_details)
                    if (array_key_exists('controller', $route_details) && array_key_exists('rule', $route_details)
                      && array_key_exists('keywords', $route_details) && array_key_exists('params', $route_details))
                      {
                              if (!isset($this->default_routes[$route]))
                                $this->default_routes[$route] = array();
                              $this->default_routes[$route] = array_merge($this->default_routes[$route], $route_details);
                                }


                // Set default routes
                foreach (Language::getLanguages() as $lang)

I find that Prestashop is not friendly at all. I´m not webmaster and last time I changed code, my store disappeared.
