Productcode in URL gives a 404

Hello,

CF : www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/5...ig.html#features_sef

By default HikaShop use the ID in order to find the product.
When you remove the ID from the SEF URL, it will base its search on the "product alias" (and "product name" if it can't find an alias).
Thanks to the "alias auto fill" setting, the system would automatically generate the alias when finding the product (to speed up the process afterwards).

So if you want to base your URLs on the product code ; the best would be to copy the value in the product alias too.

But please note that an alias cannot start with a number since the Joomla router system will consider it as an ID. That's why HikaShop will add a "p" prefix in case of the product name start with a number.

Regards,

Hi,

Yes, you can use mass actions for that.
You can have a "update the values" action on the product_alias column equal to product.product_code if you want to directly set the product code in the alias.
Or you could also append it with an operation like that: concat( product.product_alias, product.product_code )
I've never tried a concat with a mass action but it should work and if it doesn't, you could actually run the same query directly in your phpmyadmin:
update #__hikashop_product SET product_alias = concat( product_alias, product_code )

Hi,

The alias auto fill will basically copy the product_name in the product_alias field.
You can do that with the mass action system. Just replace the product_code by "product_name".
