Where can I change goods URLs generation logic?

[StrangeAttractor]

PrestaShop implements some logic (bare transliteration and string cleaning as far as I can see) to generate human-readable ("SEO friendly") URLs from product names.

 

I would like to adjust this behaviour to fit my preferences. For example I'd like it to include the product reference code (or the EAN code, I have not decided yet) and always derive from the English product name (I have 3 languages incl. English at my store) instead generating a completely different URL for every language.

 

In what particular PrestaShop code file is this logic implemented and can be changed?

Not sure, but I think in

     <main shop folder>/js/admin.js.

 

 

And there probably function

 

    function copy2friendlyURL()
 

 

Give it a try. Let us know :-)

Looks like that's there. Would you also be so kind to tell me where is $ defined?

 

It uses expressions like $('#link_rewrite_' + id_language) and $('#name_' + id_language) to store and retreive fields, I am cruious about finding the whole list fo these fields (I'd like to access reference and ean codes for example).

[PascalVG]

The $(#link_rewrite_'+id_language) will give you a reference to the object (defined by it's name #link_rewrite'+id_language, which first translates to something like '#line_rewrite_0', '#link_rewrite_1'). So a short way to get to the objects in your form etc.

Hope this helps,
