short product Url for Hikashop

Hi,

In the product settings, enter the URL you want in the "canonical URL" field.
Then, set the "force canonical URLs on listing" setting to "use canonical URL if specified" in the HikaShop configuration.
Then different products listings displayed by HikaShop will now use that canonical URL instead of dynamically generating a URL based on their location.

Hi,

The URL you enter in the "canonical URL" field needs to be a valid one.
If you get a 404 error, it means the URL you entered is not a valid one.

For the URL "download/product/4ai-pro" to be valid you need to:
- have a menu item of the type product listing or category listing with the alias "download"
- have "product" in the "product SEF name" setting of HikaShop
- have "4ai-pro" as alias of your product

From what I can see, it seems that the problem is with the first point.

Hi,

The role of the "canonical URL" option is not to shorten URLs. The role of this option is to use the same URL on all products listings.
The URL you enter as canonical URL needs to be a valid URL of the product.
Getting avisapro.ir/download/product/p4ai-pro is possible.
For this to happen, you need to have a products listing menu item or a categories listing menu item as the homepage. Because in Joomla, that's the only way for the alias of the menu item to not be used.

If you want to be able to have URLs which don't require to match with how Joomla handle URLs, then it's possible but it requires the use of a SEF extension like 4SEF. 4SEF will store the SEF and non SEF URLs together in the database so that it can revert it when you click on the link based on what is in its database. That way, the SEF URL can be whatever you want, regardless of your menu items structure, your product alias, etc.
