Ultimate SEO URLs - Remove .html?

[dontknowwhatimdoing]

Alright-- I got this for you--hopefully you'll see this reply.

I've successfully removed ".html" from all my links.

I changed pages from:
http://mysite.com/microsoft-internet...-ps2-p-25.html
TO
http://mysite.com/microsoft-internet-keyboard-ps2-p-25/

I replaced ".html" with "/" on every page.

Here's the steps--they must be followed exactly:

as a precaution, backup each page before you edit
for example:
I saved a copy of seo.url.php as seo.url_bak.php

1-find seo.url.php under catalog/includes/classes

replace each instance of ".html" with "/"
I suppose you can leave out the commented PHP that mentions its using ".html" as the default, but everything else has to go.

2-go to your .htaccess file
replace each instance of .html with "/"

3-Go to your mySQL database with phpMyAdmin or whatever mysql editor you use, find the table "seo_cache"
(you may want to back the table up first, however, I think there's no danger in making this change)
Click on all the information/ entries in "seo_cache"
on the dropdown choose "drop"
OR
Clear the SEO URL cache from the admin panel (sadly, I dont know how to do this)


Now click on your homepage/ or your catalog primary page....

Things should be working with no ".html" in the pages. Just beautiful trailing slashes & clean URLs... now I just have to figure out how to get rid of those garbage category numbers...

It's critical that you clear the cache--I tried doing this without the cache clear, and I was finding all 'blank' or 'empty' pages.

I hope others find this fix useful.
