How to remove filter name from URL?

[webbusiness23]

Hello,

 

Can anyone help me remove the filter name from the URL?

 

What i need to do is this:

 

Before URL: www.test.com/123-tents#/capacity-2_persons

After URL: www.test.com/123-tents#/2_persons

 

Basicly, the name of the filter (capacity) has disappeared from the URL.

How can i do that?

 

 

 

 

Also, does anyone know how to remove the # character from the URL? As far as i know, Google does not index urls that contain the # character.

 

 

Thank you!

You did not explain on what kind of filter you are refering to and also not giving any information on your prestashop version in use. Spoken for V 1.6. I'd say it isn't possible. The filter URLs are used by the faceted navigation to retrieve selected values from the URL. You can change the URL to another even shorter name but you cannot get rid of it.

I'm using Presta 1.6

 

What do you mean by "what kind of filter" ?

Seems like you are using the layered navigation? It's not possible with that, it needs a filter type to draw from

You cannot touch the URL without impacting Prestashop behavior. I was confronted to a situation where I needed to change the URLs. I digged into the PHP code to understand how it works. If you're interested, I've written two technical, detailed articles explaining the internal mechanism of Prestashop URL (1.7) about what I've understood.
