I've been working to get rid of duplicate URLs on my site, and using \"Ignore multiple sources (Itemids)\" have removed them from traditional Joomla content.

When it comes to VirtueMart, I'm still having problems, and believe my best option is to ignore the \"manufacturer_id\" and \"category_id\" variables when generating SEF URLs.

I think I could do it myself if I had some guidance on which files will contain the necessary code. I could duplicate the code from one of the existing Ignore functions and amend it to ignore my variables.

Has anyone else attempted anything simlar?<br><br>Post edited by: rippyuk, at: 2007/07/27 02:40

Found a workaround by using no category names in URLs, and using the following in .htaccess



This basically uses a 301 redirect for URLs like product-name-2.html, product-name-3.html - taking them to product-name.html

This should be fine.

Hello Neil,

thanks for this tip! Is there a way this to do with categories on, p.e.:


Whit /* for the categories?

Thanks again.

Best Regards, Urs
