Is it possible to get rid of c-(numbers) and p-(numbers)?

Possible, you will have to use link-alias. However, it's not done automatically yet, so if you have a limited number of categories/products it will be easy, but if you have too many it will take lots of time.

I have 11 categories and 120+ products so far, would this slow the server? I could do it fairly fast if it's a txt file.

How do you change how the links are made in zencart?

Hi Yellow, I have upgraded to the latest version and have used the link alias successfully on several links, however I am having a problem with three in particular LOL

I believe I have put them in right, but I am thinking the problem may lay in that these links do not have the forward slash (/) trailing at the end and the link alias won't let me put it in without it

The three links in question are these ones on my site:

Specials/Discounts at top http://www.havendesignz.com/store/pr...scounts-page-5

How To Checkout in Information Sidebox http://www.havendesignz.com/store/page_2

Copyright Issues in Information Sidebox http://www.havendesignz.com/store/page_3

Screenshot below of my link alias settings....any help would be appreciated! LOL

I will look into this.

Just checked, working alrite on 3.5.2

Make sure link alias is enabled, and cache is cleared.

Sample link:
Original: http://demo.rubikintegration.com/zencart/page_2
Changed: http://demo.rubikintegration.com/zen...s_is_my_page_2

I cleared cache after upgrade and before doing the aliases, so I just cleared it again and the discount/specials page is now working right, that's an EZ Page btw LOL, still not working on the define page_2 and page_3 links in sidebox, direct link (http://www.havendesignz.com/store/how-to-checkout) is working though

I see the url link has changed in your sidebox, just not changing in mine LOL

[LissaE]

If it helps any, I moved those links for the more info sidebox to the information sidebox, and these are the link structures in that sidebox:

// test if links should display
  if (DEFINE_PAGE_2_STATUS <= 1) {
    $information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PAGE_2) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_2 . '</a>';
  }
  if (DEFINE_PAGE_3_STATUS <= 1) {
    $information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PAGE_3) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_3 . '</a>';
  }
  if (DEFINE_PAGE_4_STATUS <= 1) {
    $information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PAGE_4) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_4 . '</a>';
  }

Look correct. The behavior is weird tho, it seems to redirect from how to.... back to page 2 instead of the other way around. Can you take a screenshot of the current setting now, since it does look like the behavior you would expect when a link alias is disabled.

Yep, here's the alias screen and the settings screen:
