---

Makes possible to have URLs with no IDs in PrestaShop.

For production use the latest stable release

It has been reported to work on PS 1.5.6 - 1.6.1.x but will install on PS >= 1.5 too. If you succesfully use this module on some older version please report

INSTALLATION

from PS administration panel

Go in the back office of your shop and follow these steps:

• download the lastest release ZIP file (faktiva_clean_urls.zip) as it already contains the right folder name (faktiva_clean_urls, not faktiva-prestashop-clean-urls-version_x.y.z !)
• in the modules tab, click on add a new module
• click on "Browse" to open the dialogue box letting you search your computer
• select the ZIP file you downloaded and validate the dialogue box
• click on "Upload this module"
• once uploaded, you could have to search the module among the others (tip: filter by author "faktiva") and click on the install button

Configuration & Checks

Make sure your SEO and URL settings are as follows:

This is MANDATORY

• products: {category:/}{rewrite} (you can add .html at the end)
• categories: {categories:/}{rewrite}/
• manufacturers: manufactures/{rewrite}
• suppliers: suppliers/{rewrite}
• CMS page: info/{rewrite} (you can add .html at the end)
• CMS category: info/{rewrite}/
• modules: modules/{module}{/:controller}

You can replace words such as "info", "suppliers", etc with whatever you want, given that it does not conflicts with a category name

Remember to

• clear the browser cache
• clear PS cache (under smarty -> cache and smarty -> compile)

UNINSTALLATION

• Go to modules -> Find and uninstall "faktiva_clean_urls"

It should suffice!

If something goes wrong do the following:

• Open folder /override/classes/
  • Remove Link.php
  • Remove Dispatcher.php
• Open folder /override/controllers/front/
  • Remove CategoryController.php
  • Remove CmsController.php
  • Remove ManufacturerController.php
  • Remove ProductController.php
  • Remove SupplierController.php
• Open folder /cache/
  • Remove class_index.php
• Go to back office -> Preferences -> SEO and URLs -> Set userfriendly URL off -> Save
• Go to back office -> Preferences -> SEO and URLs -> Set userfriendly URL on -> Save

If you got any other override modules, you should now go to you back office, uninstall them, and reinstall them again to work correctly.
