TOPIC: There are no SEO Urls on pages with child products

There are no SEO Urls on pages with child products 15 years, 4 months ago #7459

Hello,
There are no SEO Urls on pages with child products in Virtuemart (when I'm using JoomSEF). Why is that? Is it possible to fix it?

I am not quite sure about the latest version, but it was not possible in older versions, because the problem was at VM side, where the URLs for child products were not generated in standard way, so the SEO process did not affect them.

Generally, you may locate the code in VM template responsible for generating the child product URL and check if it is parsed via JRoute::_ method. If so, the SEO process should parse such link.

We are currently working of VM extension review, so we will test this with latest VM version. However, according to instructions above, you can check yourself immediatelly.

Hello,

I'm using Joomla 1.5.26 Virtuemart 1.1.9 JoomSEF 3.9.9 , JoomSEF Virtuemart Plugin 2.1.8
And I still have the problem that no SEO URLs on pages with child products.

Since you mentioned it's a Virtuemart problem, could you please point out where to look and fix in Virtuemart to make child product URLs become SEO URLs?

Thanks

Hi,

As far as I know the default template in VM 1.1.9 doesn't display separate pages for child products at all but updates the product details page using AJAX when a child product is selected instead. Do you use some custom template? Does it redirect to child product's details page when a child product is selected?

Hello Dajo,

Thanks for the reply. I'm using the default virtuemart template. You are right, when a child product is selected from the dropdown select, VM updates the product details page, however, the url is also changed to something like
www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_virt...d=1&product_id=3

Is there a way to make the child product url a seo url?

Hi,

You will need to modify the following file in VirtueMart:
/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_product_attribute.php

It generates the select box with child products and controls its behavior. Currently it uses only the child product ID and builds the URL for child product page in JavaScript, which can't be used to generate SEF URLs. It would need to be modified so each select box's option contains child product's SEF URL generated from PHP instead of only its ID and JavaScript will just use it for a redirection.
