Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[yellow1912]

With the mod finally working in a stable mod, the next step taken would be mainly SEO.

I'm no SEO expert, so I had to seek answers from others before implementing the final algorithm, here is what to be expected in the next version, all comments are welcome. If you want something, better say it now.

1. Certain links such as:
product_info/cPath/gift-certificates-21/products_id/gift-certificate-5-00-28
Will now be shortened to something like this:
product_info/gift-certificates-21/gift-certificate-5-00-28

This is done for 2 reasons:
a. shorter urls
b. enforce the order the main params appear -> so we can prevent duplicated content risk.

2. Better 301 redirects which should cover most core links.

If you're going to drop the cPath, I hope you have some other way of identifying the current category for cases when products are linked to more than one category.

Cpath value will still be there, I will just drop the word cPath in the links, but will re-build it before other functions need it.

I just installed Ultimate SEO URL 2.106.
I've configured it.

Now what?

Sorry for the obvious question.

I think you are in the wrong support thread, this thread is not for ultimate seo url.

I want to know if we are all okie with the current link structure, it will be hard to change things later:

http://demo.rubikintegration.com/zencart/

Otherwise we will stick with it.

I like yourr suggestion in post #37. The link above does not seem to be using the shorter version at this point.
