Question on sessions and cookies in osC

I am currently trying to configure osC to my needs, but need some help because I am a newbee to osC and relatively new to php.

 

Among the things I want to do are:

- eliminating session ids from URLs

- using search engine optimized URLs (more on that below)

- making the site work (incl. login, check out etc.) with only browser cookies enabled

 

Sounds simple, but all of that combined, seems not that simple after all.

 

I have already activated forced cookie use and SE friendly URLs, but it seems as though osC requires stored cookies to be enabled in order for the login and "adding-items-to-shopping-cart", checkout, etc. to work. I have seen other sites work with only browser cookies enabled. How can I adapt this?

 

The second question: Has anyone tried to change the search engine friendly URL format from this: www.domain.com/blabla/blabla/blabla to something like this: www.domain.com/blabla_blabla_blabla, so that all pages appear to be on the first level below the home page? I suppose you'd do this with mod_rewrite and rewrite rules in apache, but I wonder where and what changes I need to do in the php code of osC.

 

Thanks for your input!

Cyril
