How to assign the url of product page

Hi there,

I realized that the url of product page reflects the "product_id".

If I hope the url reflects the "product title", such like: "mydomain.com/product/product_title"

How can I do that? Any code I should adjust?

Thank you so much.

Hi,

By default you should have the product id and the product name. Like '1132-myProduct'.
Are you using a component to manage the sef of your Joomla ?

Hi there,

Yes I do see a dash like "product_id-".

But there is nothing behind the dash.

I guess maybe it's because my product name is in Traditional CHinese?

Did you test if it works for chinese name too?

Thank you for the reply.

Hi,

Yes the problem is due to the Traditional Chinese, I just tried on my end and I have the same problem.
It come from Joomla which did not support UTF-8 before J2.5.

Dear,

Is it possible to make the url containing the product_code rather than product_id?

Thank you.

The product id is usefull to redirect the customer to the good page
Whet you can do is set the product name instead of the product alias for the url.

Try to replace the code:

$link = hikashop_completeLink('product&task=show&cid='.$this->row->product_id.'&name='.$this->row->alias.$this->itemid.$this->category_pathway);

if(empty($this->row->alias))$this->row->alias = urlencode(strip_tags($this->row->product_name));
$this->row->alias2 = $this->row->alias;
$link = hikashop_completeLink('product&task=show&cid='.$this->row->product_id.'&name='.$this->row->alias.$this->itemid.$this->category_pathway);
$this->row->alias = $this->row->alias2;

Dear,

You are my savior!

It works. I adjusted the code in product/listing_img.

Thank you.
