GhostBuster Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hi PrestaShop. First of all I would like to thank the team for making such a great script. I am planning an eCommerce website. It is more of academic interest than profit that inspires me on this project. Currently my options are PrestaShop and WordPress + an eCommerce plugin. Wondring if there is an option in PrestaShop to direct to a page (url) of my choice when someone clicks the product link or add it to cart. It will be great if you can help me with this. I am so impressed by PrestaShop that I want to figure out how to do it and continue with PrestaShop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Patron Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I think you might need to explain why you would want to change the native product/cart links. Does seem to defeat the purpose of cms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostBuster Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 I just thought product description will be better on product home page. I forgot to add that it opens in a new window / tab so that the user can stay on the PrestaShop and complete the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Patron Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Have you installed the latest PS and played with it yet? Once you start kicking the tires you can then determine what you can do within the confines of native ps cms (recommended) and those that will require either a ready made module or some custom changes.

GhostBuster Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Thanks for the reply. I did install PrestaShop latest version and found it very easy to follow. But I am completely new to this arena. If you can explain in layman terms how I can do it, will be very grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostBuster Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Can " Friendly URL " help ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Patron Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 it really get's down to redirects and what you want them to accomplish. you could investigate .htaccess redirects, this is outside the scope of PrestaShop, you should google using .htaccess redirects 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostBuster Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks. Just one more question. What does " Friendly URL " do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Patron Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks. Just one more question. What does " Friendly URL " do ? turns urls from non-friendly numbers and such to url's that can contain product/category/cms/etc. names, i.e. user/bot friendly urls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 what wikipedia says? Clean URLs, RESTful URLs, user-friendly URLs or SEO-friendly URLs are purely structural URLs that do not contain a query string [e.g., action=delete&id=91] and instead contain only the path of the resource (after the scheme [e.g., http] and the authority [e.g., example.org]). This is often done for aesthetic, usability, or search engine optimization (SEO) purposes.[1] Other reasons for designing a clean URL structure for a website or web service include ensuring that individual web resources remain under the same URL for years, which makes the World Wide Weba more stable and useful system,[2] and to make them memorable, logical, easy to type, human-centric, and long-lived.[3] it's worth to show example: clean url = friendly url 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
