OpenCart - How to change url to seo friendly


If we want to make the default url of opencart to seo friendly, we need to modify seo_url.php controller.

Firstly, backup your file. Then, in seo_url.php controller, replace the code with below:

1. edit controller/common/seo_url.php
<?php
class ControllerCommonSeoUrl extends Controller {
   public function index() {
      // Add rewrite to url class
      if ($this->config->get('config_seo_url')) {
         $this->url->addRewrite($this);
      }
   
      // Decode URL
      if (isset($this->request->get['_route_'])) {
         $parts = explode('/', $this->request->get['_route_']);

         $route = "";
       
         foreach ($parts as $part) {
            $query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "url_alias WHERE keyword = '" . $this->db->escape($part) . "'");
         
            if ($query->num_rows) {
               $url = explode('=', $query->row['query']);

               if(count($url) > 1){
             
               if ($url[0] == 'product_id') {
                  $this->request->get['product_id'] = $url[1];
               }
             
               if ($url[0] == 'category_id') {
                  if (!isset($this->request->get['path'])) {
                     $this->request->get['path'] = $url[1];
                  } else {
                     $this->request->get['path'] .= '_' . $url[1];
                  }
               }
             
               if ($url[0] == 'manufacturer_id') {
                  $this->request->get['manufacturer_id'] = $url[1];
               }
             
               if ($url[0] == 'information_id') {
                  $this->request->get['information_id'] = $url[1];
               }
               }else{
                  $route = $url[0];
               }
            } else {
               $this->request->get['route'] = 'error/not_found';
            }
         }
       
         if (isset($this->request->get['product_id'])) {
            $this->request->get['route'] = 'product/product';
         } elseif (isset($this->request->get['path'])) {
            $this->request->get['route'] = 'product/category';
         } elseif (isset($this->request->get['manufacturer_id'])) {
            $this->request->get['route'] = 'product/manufacturer/product';
         } elseif (isset($this->request->get['information_id'])) {
            $this->request->get['route'] = 'information/information';
         }else {
            $this->request->get['route'] = $route;
         }

       
         if (isset($this->request->get['route'])) {
            return $this->forward($this->request->get['route']);
         }
      }
   }
 
   public function rewrite($link) {
      if ($this->config->get('config_seo_url')) {
         $url_data = parse_url(str_replace('&amp;', '&', $link));
   
         $url = '';
       
         $data = array();
   
         parse_str($url_data['query'], $data);
       
         foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
            if (($key == 'product_id') || ($key == 'manufacturer_id') || ($key == 'information_id')) {
               $query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "url_alias WHERE `query` = '" . $this->db->escape($key . '=' . (int)$value) . "'");
         
               if ($query->num_rows) {
                  $url .= '/' . $query->row['keyword'];
               
                  unset($data[$key]);
               }            
            } elseif ($key == 'path') {
               $categories = explode('_', $value);
             
               foreach ($categories as $category) {
                  $query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "url_alias WHERE `query` = 'category_id=" . (int)$category . "'");
         
                  if ($query->num_rows) {
                     $url .= '/' . $query->row['keyword'];
                  }                  
               }
             
               unset($data[$key]);
            }elseif ($key == 'route') {
               $query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "url_alias WHERE `query` = '" . $this->db->escape($value) . "'");
         
               if ($query->num_rows) {
                  $url .= '/' . $query->row['keyword'];
               
                  unset($data[$key]);
               }            
            }
         }
   
         if ($url) {
            unset($data['route']);
       
            $query = '';
       
            if ($data) {
               foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
                  $query .= '&' . $key . '=' . $value;
               }
             
               if ($query) {
                  $query = '?' . trim($query, '&');
               }
            }

            return $url_data['scheme'] . '://' . $url_data['host'] . (isset($url_data['port']) ? ':' . $url_data['port'] : '') . str_replace('/index.php', '', $url_data['path']) . $url . $query;
         } else {
            return $link;
         }
      } else {
         return $link;
      }    
   }
}
?>

2. Open PHPMyadmin and goto url_alias table and insert the following:

INSERT INTO url_alias (query, keyword) VALUES ('common/home', '');

Changing the attribute type in Magento

Sometimes, we need to change the input type of attributes in Magento. Magento by default doesn't allow to change the input type from backend simply. We need to do this programmatically. Here is a code to change the input type from dropdown to text. $installer = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup'); $installer->startSetup(); $iProductEntityTypeId = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getResource()->getTypeId(); $idAttributeOldSelect = $installer->getAttributeId($iProductEntityTypeId, 'manufacturer'); $installer->updateAttribute($iProductEntityTypeId, $idAttributeOldSelect, array(     'frontend_input' => 'text' )); $installer->endSetup(); Finally, we need to remove the old values or they will conflict with the new setup. DELETE FROM catalog_product_entity_int WHERE entity_type_id = 4 and attribute_id = YOUR_ATTRIBUTE_ID_HERE; Cheers!!
