[SOLVED] CMS page link: removing the ID from link breaks the link.

[ALEXCNX]

Hello,

I have added a CMS link to the footer.tpl with the following code:

<a href="{$link->getCMSLink('6','customer-service')|replace:'/6':''}" class="homeinfolink">{6 s='Customer Service'}</a>

The link shows as http://MYWEBSITE/6/customer-service.php

I've tried and remove the page ID from the link with the following code (so that it just shows http://MYWEBSITE/customer-service.php) but the link now is broken.

<a href="{$link->getCMSLink('6','customer-service')|replace:'/6':''}" class="homeinfolink">{6 s='Customer Service'}</a>

Does anyone know what's wrong?

Thanks,
Alex

id numbers are necessary, if you don't want to use ID numbers you will need to create rewrite rules in .htaccess file

If you want to access the links in the "CMS" without the id in the url of the browser, you have this contribution free: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/204935-override-friendly-urls-without-id-number-for-v15/

 

Sorry for my English

Thank you both. I went with 301 redirect in .htaccess.

nice, i think that this is the best solution (no core changes, only little .htaccess entries)

 

im going to mark this thread as [solved]

if you will have any questions related to this case - feel free to continue discussion here
