Some issues related to products combinations and URL Rewriting

[ECF]

Hello

 

I am dealing with three boutiques where combinations and url rewriting are giving me headaches.

 

In the SEO and URL section I am using {category}/{-:ean13}{rewrite}/ to rewrite my product URL however now when I modifiy a product and when I hit the preview button, the given URL is wrong and includes the .html ? 

 

The right url preview format should be : www.sitename.com/category/product-name instead I am getting www.sitename.com/category/product-name.html

 

Any ideas on how I could fix this issue ?

 

Also, and I really dont understand why but my products combinations are available back-end, however nowhere to be seen anymore front-end ??? If anyone resolved this issue recently I would appreciate some tips or advices on how to deal with it.

 

My prestashop boutique version is 1.5.4.1

 

Thank you

you have to edit dispatcher.

open file classes/Dispatcher.php

 

there is a code:

'rule' => '{category:/}{id}-{rewrite}{-:ean13}.html',

just remove .html

Hello

 

Thanks for your anwer ! Is it the same modification to apply if {category}/{rewrite}/ is used instead of {category}/{-:ean13}{rewrite}/?

as far as i know, you have to use id number, without id it will not work unfortunately

it's because controllers are based on product ID.

 

if you want to hide ID - you have to edit controllers, there is no way to achieve it with default configuraiton tools

So I should use {category}/{-:ean13}{rewrite}/ for my SEO options  And 'rule' => '{category:/}{id}-{rewrite}{-:ean13}', in my dispatcher ?

 

Right now if I just remove the .html, no changes are noticed, even if I clear all cache.
