This is the same as previous, but in .zip format.

/* This is an update to my previous fix. Just added 'manufacturer'
directory due to Advanced Search results leaving an empty 'manufacturer'
field so a /manufacturer/ is added to the result urls. */

My "fix" for the previous post was to install and configure the 'http error page' contribution. It helps the shop fail more gracefully and seems to force the page load regardless of the missing "/". I may have done something else, so I will post that later too.

I found a work-around for the 'manufacturers' bug, but not see a possibly larger one. When looking at my test sites listing in Yahoo, I noticed that a category was listed w/out a trailing slash. This was it:

http://shop.thetestsite.com/category21_22_34

When I hit the link.... 404 all the way. So, is there a way to force a '/' on requests that do not have one and don not end with a '.html, .php, .pdf, .gif, etc.'? I do not know if it is a fluke or not, but an assesment is needed.

Hey, I encountered '404' errors when clicking on the breadcrumb for a product when viewing it from a manufacturers search... or any manufacturer listing.

What happened was that a request for a '/category/' was being made and that does not exist. In the normal store configuration, this is ignored and passed as an emplty value.

So, I have written a simple .htaccess command that completely corrects this issue. No matter how many sub-categories or manufacturers you have.

Don't have time for setting site up, so here is last version.

From now on all new versions can be downloaded from
http://osc.silencer.ispvds.com

Attached file is 'readme.txt'.

= Bugfix - was not working with more than 2 level nested categories.
Fixed, now must work with any nesting level.
+ Added mod_php configuration directives from Milestone 2.

Small change in .htaccess for MS2 compatibilty.

Previous version has not working with subcategories. Fixed.

This script transform almost all links on your osCommerce shop to "Search Engine Friendly" format.
Like "SE friendly URLs" option, but i think it works better.

Version: 0.5.0 Alpha
