Seo URL in brands and category brands

This topic has been marked as resolved.

Good day.
I read this topic http://support.themeburn.com/topic/seo-link-in-main-menu-to-brands
I have the same problem. I use SeoPro and in categories and products url is really good, but in brands and menu brands url looks like shop-link/index.php?route=product/manufacturer/info&manufacturer_id=12 and index.php?route=category/manufacturer&c_id=59&man_id=18.
Is it way to change it to seo url like shop-link/brandname in brands and shop-link/category/brandname in category brands?

Hi,

The default OpenCart brands can have a SEO friendly url for sure (shoppica2.com/apple), but the custom category/brand feature cannot. We call it a feature, because the category/brand filter is a custom functionality added by Shoppica. That is why it can’t use the keyword value from manufacturer info.

Generally you should be worried about this page url, as the more important page is the default brand page.

Best,

Thanks for your answer. Small hint to Shoppica customers who use seo_pro module instead seo_url.

To change brand links from:

shop-link/index.php?route=product/manufacturer/info&manufacturer_id=12

to

yourshop.domain/brandname

you need only comment or delete one string in seo_pro.php

$this->request->get['route'] = 'product/manufacturer/product';

and add this string

$this->request->get['route'] = 'product/manufacturer/info';

instead of.

I prefer to use seo_pro because it solve problem with page doubles and routes.
