Mod Rewrite

[issy]

I'm using SEF URLs, I noticed that the directory listing is a number ( http://www.eyelashpros.com/utah/alpine/-l1.html ) I'd like to have the company's name as ( http://www.eyelashpros.com/utah/alpine/company-name-here.html ) for SEO purposes.

Can tis be done?

Thanks

Hello issy,
I'm not confident, but it may be problem with template:
***Open templates/yourTemplate/link-display.tpl and find code***

{if $config.mod_rewrite}
{if 'search' eq $tab}
{assign var="link_title" value=$link.title2}
{else}
{assign var="link_title" value=$link.title}
{/if}
<a href="{$config.base}{$config.dir}{$link.path}/-l{$link.id}.html">{$lang.link_details}</a>
{else}
<a href="{$config.base}{$config.dir}view-link.php?id={$link.id}">{$lang.link_details}</a>
{/if}

***Replace with the following code***

{if $config.mod_rewrite}
{if 'search' eq $tab}
{assign var="link_title" value=$link.title2}
{else}
{assign var="link_title" value=$link.title}
{/if}
<a href="{$config.base}{$config.dir}{$link.path}/{convert_str string=$link_title}-l{$link.id}.html">{$lang.link_details}</a>
{else}
<a href="{$config.base}{$config.dir}view-link.php?id={$link.id}">{$lang.link_details}</a>
{/if}

Dave,
I forgot to mention that I just upgraded to 2.1, will this code still work?

Thanks

Hello Dave,

If you talking about the PRO 2.1 then this code doesn't work. Because if you look at index.php you can see this code:


$links = $Category->getLinks($id, $start, $config->get('num_index_links'), $featured_top, $sponsored_top, $gDirEditor['id']);

$p = '';
if($category['id'] != '0')
{
$p = $category['path'].'/';
}

$c = count($links);
for($i=0; $i < $c; $i++)
{
$links[$i]['path'] = $p;
}
$gDirSmarty->assign_by_ref('links', $links);


So.. it is working code:


<a href="{$config.base}{$config.dir}{$link.path}{convert_st r string=$link_title}-l{$link.id}.html">{$lang.link_details}</a>


Without slash ;)
