Summary0001632: fixed SEO URLS for products in more than one category
DescriptionStep by Step:

- Product "PA" in categorie "CA" with a fixed SEO URL like www.shop.com/CA/PA.html
- After setting one more Categorie for Product "PA", Categorie "CB" i canĀ“t use the same fixed SEO URL for the second combination "PA" in "CB"

i have to use a other SEO URL like www.shop.com/CB/PA.html

Is this a bug or a normal thing?

Christian

Hi,

The SEO urls can be specified (and fixed) for each of categories, assigned to the product (see the drop-down "Active Category/Vendor" in SEO tab for selected product). So if you enter the SEO url ...CA/PA.html - it's natural, that it will choose category CA as selected for this case (as product has separate url for CB category).

Best regards,

Hi,

thanks for your answer.

In Version 4.1.3 this feature works fine as you can see here:

http://www.micha1728.de/Swatch-Special-Uhren/Chronometer-Irony-Scuba-200-Chrono.html

This article is listed in the categorie
http://www.micha1728.de/Swatch-Irony-Uhren/

and

http://www.micha1728.de/Swatch-Irony-Uhren/Irony-Scuba-200-Chrono/

and in both categories you have the same link to the product (
http://www.micha1728.de/Swatch-Special-Uhren/Chronometer-Irony-Scuba-200-Chrono.html)

So something changed from 4.1.3 to a later version?!

Best regards
Christian Becker

Hi,

Yes, SEO url handling changed in version 4.2.0 - it was described in README file in Update to version 4.2.0:
"
- SEO implementation has been updated to latest and most up to date optimization rules.
   For instance:
    * each article has canonical links in details page which point to article url
        in main category (see also http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/02/specify-your-canonical.html).
    * article links are built for every category article is in.
    * rel="nofollow" attributes are removed from most links due to latest SEO insight.
      (for more details check http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/pagerank-sculpting/)
"

To have this working, the header.tpl should be updated (changes are noted in templ_docu in Update package) with:
[{assign var="canonical_url" value=$oView->getCanonicalUrl()}]
[{if $canonical_url }]<link rel="canonical" href="[{ $canonical_url }]">[{/if}]

So it works as planned.

Best regards,
