How do I force the pathway for products, when their link is clicked on when they're in the cart? At the moment pathway goes to the brands rather than the categories.
The catgories and products pathways work fine as I go through catgories and products it is just when I click on a product from within the cart

Thanks

Hi,

As you know, the setting "simplified breadcrumb" is there to keep the trace of the category in the URL and so, to display a corresponding breadcrumb.
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/5...ig.html#features_sef

But where you are not in the product listing, the link might not have the "category pathway" argument.
So depending the used menu, the breadcrumb might not be full, specially if the product listing menu (or module) is "all sub elements".
So you can see to use a menu without the "all sub elements" and you can also see to tweak the canonical URL so you will have an "unique" URL with required element (menu or category pathway).

Sorry, I may sound thick, but I don't quite understand the answer...

[I have 2 menu links one to Brands and One To Categories
The search plugin is directed at the correct menu itemid - so the search results are correct.]

I have tried setting the simple pathway to yes and no in Features -> SEF URL options - when no I get a better pathway but it does not show the fulll path only products (better than brands though)

Hi,

If you want to force the "pathway" when someone access a product page, you can enter the URL of the product page which works for you in the "canonical URL" of the products. If you activate the "force canonical URLs on listings" setting of the HikaShop configuration, the system will then always use that URL when it has to display a link to the product page and thus, it will have the pathway you want.
