SEO Friendly URL

Recommended Posts

Hi.

 

We have a customized oscommerce website. There are SEO friendly URLs but they only work for products. I'd like to create SEO friendly URLs to other links too. Can someone guide me how to do this using the .htaccess file or otherwise.

 

1.

 

Eg.

 

On our website

http://www.domain.com/product_info.php?products_id=11387

 

will convert to

http://www.domain.com/thermal-transfer-pap...rs-p-11387.html

 

But from the Manufactures page

http://www.domain.com/manufacturers.php

 

The manufacturers links display as follows

http://www.domain.com/manufacturers.php?manufacturers_id=34

 

How do I convert

manufacturers.php?manufacturers_id=34 to the Manufacturer name

 

as an example I'd like the link to be displayed as follows

 

http://www.domain.com/datamax-m-34.html

 

Can some one help?

 

2.

 

http://www.domain.com/product_info.php?products_id=11387

 

Even though the above URL converts to SEO friendly URL

http://www.domain.com/thermal-transfer-pap...rs-p-11387.html

 

on some pages it doesn't convert to the SEO friendly URL.

 

Can some one please explain why and how we can resolve this matter.

 

Many Thanks

 

Kind Regards

Seo Urls (whichever contribution is used) produce seo urls via the use of PHP and the function tep_href_link().

 

Hardcoded basic html links will not work.

If you search online you will find .htaccess code which can actually help to make your urls SEO friendly.

 

I would also recommend not to use html, php, or any other extension. Sometimes technologies change and it can a big big issue to transfer your php pages into NEW extension :rolleyes:
