How to remove Category name from Product URL in PS 1.5.6?

[jijaybajay]

Hi,

 

I tried to remove Category Name from my product URL with URL friendly ON

I changed route to product from this:

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

(link was find with this route)

 

to this:

{id}-{rewrite}{-:ean13}

Deleted my old .htaccess file, let PS regenerate by itself. Turn smarty cache off (and clear it).

Clear my browser cache and cookies.

 

But then I got all my product links are errors (Page Not Found)

 

I want all my product url without category name.

 

Here's my link: bajubola99.com

 

 

 

UPDATE:

 

When I removed {category:/}, PS 1.5.6 is automatically showing category with the same ID as in the product URL.

 

For example: domain.name/product-1. PS will show domain.name/category-1

 

So, if there's no category which has the same ID as the product url, it will show page not found. For example: domain.name/product-999. PS can't show category with ID 999, as result it gives page error

 

I think it's a bug.

 

 

How to solve this?

hello

 

this is because you've got almost the same pattern for products as for category. 

can you for test purposes only add to category additional sign, for example:{id}---{rewrite}

Wow, thank you vekia. Now it works.

 

I changed route to category from: {id}-{rewrite} to {id}--{rewrite}, now it works.

 

Btw, should I changed all the routing URL things that contain category from {id}-{rewrite} to {id}--{rewrite} ?

Like for example:

Route to category with attribute selected_filter for the module block layered  -> from: {id}-{rewrite}{/:selected_filters} to {id}--{rewrite}{/:selected_filters}

 

Route to CMS category -> from content/category/{id}-{rewrite} to content/category/{id}--{rewrite}
