How to make OSC display items/product name in URL?

[grace819]

Hi,

 

I've been searching the message boards regarding this but couldn't find anything which is why I'm posting this. I've noticed that for whenever you create a certain new product/category, OSC generates the URL something similar to this:

 

http://www.yoursite.com/catalog/product_in...products_id=101

 

I would like to know if its possible to have OSC generate the title in the URL automatically. For example, if I create a new product titled Finding Nemo DVD, the url will reflect the title as such like:

 

http://www.yoursite.com/catalog/product_in...inding_nemo_dvd

 

The reason for this change is I hope that this will improve my product ranking as such in search engines. Is there a way to go about doing this in OSC? Thanks.

find in product listing the following about line 90

 

 

switch ($column_list[$col]) {

case 'PRODUCT_LIST_MODEL':

$lc_align = '';

$lc_text = ' ' . $listing['products_model'] . ' ';

break;

case 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME':

$lc_align = '';

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'])) {

$lc_text = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'manufacturers_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'] . '&products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . $listing['products_name'] . '</a>';

} else {

$lc_text = ' <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, ($cPath ? 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . $listing['products_name'] . '</a> '; }

break;

 

 

and make it like this:

 

$lc_text = ' <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'name=' . strip_tags ($listing['products_name']) . '&' .($cPath ? 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . $listing['products_name'] . '</a> ';
