url-rewriting pains


Recommended Posts

Hi

I wanted to remove the ID from categories and products.

Two ways I have found to do this is adding a module :

or
Fully manual
http://www.openscriptsolution.com/2010/05/03/how-to-remove-category-id-from-url-of-prestashop-version-1-2-5/

Though the first way has a graphic interface as far as I am aware every product has to have a seperate look-up. The second way requires full manual editing.

Is there some automatic way to do this ? seems very burdensome.

There are modules that let you do that, however, it is a very bad idea, since the ID is the only indicator that can be used to properly redirect a product or category that were renamed, or moved around.

 

While the ID in the URL does not hurt your SEO, having duplicate or dead links (because you renamed a products) will hurt your SEO...
