url / link rewrite

[alex999]

hi,

installed friendly urls, link rewrite, .htaccess... everything works fine.
But I would like to change the url to something more seo-oriented for my site.

So for example: when I click the manufacturer-block the url requested is manufacturer.php
Is it possible to change that url to something pointing to say xyz.php? And if so, how?

Thanks in advance for each hint.

OK... found. For instance, for manufacturer

a) change under \modules\blockmanufacturer\ in blockmanufacturer.tpl the {$base_dir} in line 3 to yoururl.php
rename manufacturer.php, under your root, to yoururl.php
c) amend .htaccess:
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)_([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(.*)$ /......../yoururl.php?id_manufacturer=$1$3 [QSA,L,E]


It seems to work. Looking for the script for generating the .htaccess file, as each time I refresh .htaccess changes under c) are overwritten. If anyone know... thanks.
