Friendly URL addon, that works with duplicate slugs in different categories for SEO community

[juslintek]

Hi, is there any plugin that rewrites to friendly URL and then as well reacts to categories and as well to parent categories of those categories if subcategories are of the same name and products are of the same name. For example: /wooden-toy/trains/matchstick-train.html /toys/trains/matchstick-train.html, or /wooden-toy/oak/matchstick-train.html /wooden-toy/birch/matchstick-train.html and would read them as separate not redirect to the one with lowest id of the same slug.

 

Tried Avanced URL, they said that they work with parent categories, but they don't, they only are able to display them. But if the product slug is the same no matter where it is, just just duplicated. Never had such problems with Magento, but it seems that currently my client uses prestashop, and we need to highlight specific keywords. So we can't avoid duplication of slugs. Products are totally different.

 

Looking forward to hearing from someone.

Did you ever find a solution for this?

my module works with slugs that have the same name.

if slug look like, for example:

 

- /audi/a7/brakes/

- /bwm/x5/brakes/

 

module will check what is the parent of the category we trying to access, so based on this module will generate proper category page 

 

example:
http://82.207.175.167/modelle/mercedes-benz-w108/motor-getriebe/
http://82.207.175.167/modelle/mercedes-benz-w126/motor-getriebe/
http://82.207.175.167/modelle/mercedes-benz-w114-w115-8/motor-getriebe/

Looks interesting.. What page/url will it show on a Search?  the default category set for that product?

[vekia]

im not sure what you mean exactly, but:

- if product will be associated with categories: /woman/t-shirts/summer/ and if /summer/ category will be marked as "main" category of product, the link to product will look like:
http://website.com/summer/the-best-t-shirt.html and "summer" will appear everywhere as a category of product.

[AKSE]

Yes that was my question about search.

A follow up.

 

Let say I sell stuff for cameras.

 

I have this catalog structure.

 

/Home/Battery/CameraModel1/
/Home/Battery/CameraModel2/

 

/Home/Transportcase/CameraModel1/
/Home/Transportcase/CameraModel2/

 

 

I have this product, a "Box" for batteries for the CameraModel2 So I would like to have it in both

/Home/Battery/CameraModel2/Box  <- (this is set as the main category for product "Box")

and in

/Home/Transportcases/CameraModel2/Box 

Since it will suit both categories.

 

What happens now is that when I mouse over on /Home/Transportcases/CameraModel2/Box  it will show right link (/Home/Transportcases/CameraModel2/Box )
But when I click it will go to /Home/Battery/CameraModel2/Box

I have installed ZZcleanurls and it removes ID and seems to work on mouse over but obviously doesn't when you actually go to the link.

I see that you have a couple of more modules I would be interested in so if the URL rewriter works as I need it to I'm going to get it and some more.
Just let me know if you want to see my question live.

[juslintek]

Okay still haven't found any working solution.

 

I will rehearse the problem.

 

The problem is: I am willing to make links which would react on category and product link.

 

Let`s say there are two categories.

 

Honey and Honey Combs

 

So is there a plugin, which would first. Read product, then check if that product is the only one on the category, if yes then display it. Else return lets say page where person can select one of those multiple options.

But for example other scenario, there are different products, but same name "Regular Honey", but one is on Honey and other on Honey Combs.

The Honey already specifies that it can be artificial honey, so it becomes if concatenated "Honey Regular Honey" and "Honey Combs Regular Honey". So I need that CMS would open product assigned to that specific category, though its same named product, but with different description and images. No like on Advanced URL, would redirect to the product who has same name but is of the lowest ID number. Like not to select the first product on the list of mysql query results, but would as well use in query category criteria to specify the exact product version. But if two same named products exist on same category, then would open a list of those two products like on search results. But if there is one, then would open that specific one.

 

Guess I was clear enough.

Hi Vekia,

 

Just wanted to be sure before ordering.

 

Is it Pretty/Clean URLs Pro you are talking about ?

 

I hmanage a Wine shop for a client and are currently using

Advanced URL and we have subcategories in 3 different Categories

that are all the same like Australia, France, BaginBox etc.

Can your module handle that ?

 

Best regards,

 

Robert

for example you've got categories and path to them look like:

1. /wines/red/australia/
2. /wines/white/australia/
3. /wines/rose/australia/

 

in cases like that my pretty clean urls module will:

• analyse the structure of the url
• display category page based on subcategories defined in the url

simply saying: this means that it will work with duplicated category names so if your case is similar to case that i described - everything will be okay.

Thank you for very fast answer.

Then I know what to buy, I can also see some other great modules I want

 

Keep up the great work

I have a site for watches and pretty clean url pro don't work for me my structure is watches/man/casio

watches/woman/casio

You need to make this module to analyze url structure

You need to make this module to analyze url structure

 

this addoN: pretty clean urls analyses the structure of url

if you've got url like:

- watches/woman/casio - module will display category 'casio' that has category 'woman' as a parent category

- watches/man/casio - module will display category 'casio' that has category 'man' as a parent category

 

if it does not work in that way:

- make sure that you use at least v1.8.7 of the module

- make sure that your schema of urls for 'route for category' is {parent_categories:/}{rewrite}/

 

if it does not work - case requires inspection directly in the shop

in this case please send message to support email
