Remove /component/hikashop from URL

-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.continuitylenses.com/en/component/hikashop/checkout
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.6
-- PHP version -- : 5.5.30
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Google Chrome 47.0.2526.106

Hello,

We would like to remove /component/hikashop from our checkout page ( www.continuitylenses.com/en/component/hikashop/checkout ). The URL we would like is www.continuitylenses.com/en/checkout .

I've read through other support tickets and it seems to use /component/hikashop because it is not linked to Joomla menu. This makes sense as we are using the HikaShop Content Module to display our products on the homepage only.

I've also noted the potential fix on your support forums whereby you can set-up a Joomla menu, 'force a menu on checkout' and clear the Checkout SEF name under Hikashop>Config>Features. Unfortunately, this will not work for us as we have a multi-lingual site and cannot, for example, force the English checkout menu on customers in The Nederlands or Belgium.

Do you have any other solutions?

Thanks,

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, we have done what you suggest.

We have created three different modules for each language (EN, FR, NL) and set each module to display on the relevant country homepage (we want to display our 2-box products on homepage to expedite checkout).

What we need to do is change the URL of the 'Add to Cart' button which is configured under HikaShop Content Module>Hikashop options. When you click on it, it goes to /en/component/hikashop/checkout. We need /en/checkout.

I think it's a simple task if you use Joomla menus and/or do not have a multi-language website. Unfortunately, neither scenario applies to us. To illustrate this point, our 1-box products do use the Joomla menu system. If you select 'Add to Cart' from www.continuitylenses.com/en/single-boxes , the checkout is perfect ( www.continuitylenses.com/en/single-boxes/checkout ).

Do you have any other solutions/suggestions?

Hello,
is there any way to remove the "component/hikashop/" in product listings in some of the hikashop modules also.
The problem which I have is that in the products listing page I have them with this URL pattern:
/menu-name/product-name
but in the hikashop product listing modules I have completely different URL's for the same product!
As you well know this is a very serious SEO / SEF problem, especially with google.

My site is using this template:
demo.joomshaper.com/2014/organic-life/in...and-review-variation

Example URL's
1. URL's on a Hikashop product listing page:
/menu-name/product-name

2. Module, Content display for Hikashop
/hikashop-menu-for-module-236/product-name

3. URL's on another Module on our front page:
/component/hikashop/product-name
