A single web page like EZ Pages that has a cusom URL

Hi there

I need a simple page on my website like how you do with EZ Pages but I need to have the link say https://www.mywebsite.com.au/openinghours rather than the letters and numbers that ZenCart assigns for it. Is it possible to make a simple web page that has the more simple link? The reason is I need to put the link on flyers so they can see the opening hours of my physical store but the ZenCart link is too long to type in and google short links makes it look dodgy.

AmyInstead of ezpages you could use this mod About Us Page and change the naming as required.
It will be closer to what you want.

mywebsite.com.au/index.php?main_page=opening_hours

or just make a html (non zen-cart) page at the required address

or use a redirect to redirect from the listed page to the actual page

Re: A single web page like EZ Pages that has a cusom URL

First - the lighter fix - I agree with gilby, a 301 redirect will work if it points at a dynamic page.

Second - heavy weight fix - I accomplished this in the past by installing CEON URI Mapping on a 1.39h cart and changing the ceon_uri_mapping record in the database

The second option has been working for 2 years reliably.

Re: A single web page like EZ Pages that has a cusom URL

Thanks everyone. I didn't receive an email from this so I didn't know people had replied. Thank you for helping. I didn't think about doing a simple redirect!
