So I am going to go back to a few things I've already suggested and add one more suggestion to that..

1. Your .htaccess file is part of the answer..
2. Re-Read through the readme.. One thing Conor was REALLY good at (besides writing GREAT modules) is writing thorough documentation for his modules. I found the following in a QUICK glance through the readme that comes with this module
3. Search/read/browse this support thread. It's likely you will stumble across your answer in this support thread. (Personally I make it a point to read through at LEAST 80% of a mods support thread when it's new or I am attempting to do something that I might need a little extra hand holding through)

Unfortunately Conor is no longer here to help support this module as he always had. However, his modules are some of the best written and documented available for Zen Cart. If you are willing to roll up your sleeves, I think you might surprise yourself and figure this out.. Conor left enough breadcrumbs to make it possible..

Hope this helps..
not really sure htaccess IS the answer unless i was to have to put over 5000 new statements into it?? to redirect over 5000 product pages to the new URL's since the old URL's are nothing like the new ones generated by this module.

seems to me that there should be a simple solution to this since many? others would, in theory, be moving their sites from other software into Zen Cart. Or is it just newbies that use Zen Cart??

my solution would be:
1. add a field to the products table for 'legacy URL' from your old site.
2. here's where my programming gets a bit fuzzy but there should be a process to take all of the pages/products and look at this 'legacy URL' field and if it's populated create a pointer/redirection to the new URL. maybe this could be done through a CRON job once a day and the results put into the htaccess file?? or some other process??

seems that would solve the redirection problem..
