PrestaShop module "Faktiva Clean URLs"

Makes possible to have URLs with no IDs in PrestaShop.

This module is NOT intended to work on PS 1.7.x (it may, but it is not supported at all)

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)
