jamesjeffery Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Is there a module to generate SEO friendly URLs? I can't seem to see it in the modules list.Any help much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 There is no need for a module. Friendly URLs are built in to Prestashop. Go to the Preferences tab and change "Friendly URL" to "Yes". Upload an empty .htaccess file to the root directory of Prestashop on your server. If a .htaccess file already exists on your server, rename it to .htaccess.old. Then go to Tools > Generators, then click the "Generate .htaccess file" button. Prestashop will then write the friendly URL rewrite rules to the .htaccess file. If necessary, open up the .htaccess file and compare it to .htaccess.old. Copy over anything in .htaccess.old that is missing in the .htaccess file.

xapuc Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I have the same problem. And, when I open any product page, my Categories module (that which comes with original prestashop installation), dissappear. Module is there, but there isn't any category in this block. On homepage categories in this block is visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 There is probably a Javascript error on your product page that is causing the categories to disappear. You should click the "Done, with errors" icon in the bottom-left corner in IE and post the error message here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xapuc Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 The problem was solved. The process of getting SEO friendly urls has a protocol.1. You have to upload a blank .htaccess file into your prestashop root dir.2. You have to enable SEO friendly urls in your preferences tab.3. Then you have to generate a .htaccess in tools in generators.4. Then, you need to reinstall all modules (in many cases, it's only featured home products and categories)5. Now, you can start adding your content.I think this will help others.. It helped me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
