Please add metatag management field "category_title", "category_meta_description", "category_keywords" to table "hikashop_category" and modify \com_hikashop\views\category\view.html.php on the sample table "hikashop_product" and \com_hikashop\views\product\view.html.php for SEO.

That's a good idea.
We'll add that to next release.

Please add more in the ability to specify URL categories and manufacturers of similar products.

Meta description, Keywords

For the category and the manufacturer is not possible to specify a URL.

The URL for products is the manufacturer URL for the product. So I don't see the meaning of a manufacturer URL for categories and manufacturers since a category or a manufacturer doesn't have a manufacturer.

I'm sorry - I did not realize that this URL manufacturer. I thought that this ability to manually set the URL for the goods.
This possibility exists in Joomla 1.6 for articles.
Is it possible to add the ability to manually specify the URL for the categories of products and manufacturers for the purpose of SEO ?

I didn't see anything for that for articles on 1.6: www.pbwebdev.com.au/blog/wp-content/uplo...rticles-metadata.jpg

Knowing how the joomla 1.6 SEF system works I don't think it's possible to do that unless you have a system plugin which convert the URLs back before joomla.

It doesn't change the whole link for the alias. The alias just replaces the id of the article. Since we already have the name of the product in the URL the need for an alias is less important. It would be useful if you wanted to have a text in the URL different from the product name.
I don't really see why that would be the case ?

There are several reasons for the different product name and URL:
1) Sometimes there is a desire to change the name of the product (for a better user experience), but left unchanged URL as it is already indexed by search engines.
2) For example, the categories there is a need to do different name (short and user-friendly) and URL (SEO optimized keyword list)

Therefore, a more universal solution is to separate the name and alias for the URL

We'll put that on the todo list but as a low priority, at least for now.
