CRE Loaded Community

Hello,

I'm working on a Category Box which will be showen on each page under my footer. I'm getting the categories right from my database, but only my links (the hrefs) aren't working.

I want the category names linking to the SEO url's, like this:


So if anybody can help me out here how I can generate the 'category-name-c-1.html' part of the link?
Allready looked at the code of my category box on the left side, but I can't make anything out of it...

Thanks in advance

Are you using an existing url rewrite?
if not, you are going to need one before you can rewrite urls.. or manually rewrite them via mod rewrites in the .htaccess file..
for exact usage for doing it yourself,
google 301 redirects as well as seo rewrite urls

I'm using SEO URLs from CRELoaded itself.

I'm now linking to this url's: index.php?cPath=1
Once on the page it rewrites the URL to category-name-c-1.php, but I want that url in my href of my link, so Google don't go to 'index.php?cPath=1' but goes to 'category-name-c-1.php'.

if the cart is re-writing it to category-name-c-1.php
that is the url you need to use in your example (php and not html.. copy it exactly)

sorry, my mistake, i meant category-name-c-1.html...

Not sure if my question is clear enough, I'm gonna form it a little bit simpler:
this is what I have now:

...and this is what I'm trying to do:

I know the url will be rewritten to a SEO url, but I'm still linking to a ugly url.

Thx by the way for your quick answers

if category-name-c-1.html is how the cart is re-writing, then your code is correct

He is redirecting correctly, but isn't Google gonna find 2 pages with the same content in it? -> /index.php?cPath=1 & /category-name-c-1.html

not if both urls are the same
<a href="/category-name-c-1.html">Category Name</a>
then they only have one path to follow

old links will still work, but they will be dropped once they can no longer find a path

or you can put in 301 redirects from old to new to speed up the process

I am also done the same mistake, but still I have cleared from your posting. Thanks for your sharing..

It seems very nice ideas included to your posting, I got more ideas from your posting,Thanks for your sharing guys,...

your link can not work. you must write the whole link.

You are right supportjason, here link is not complete...
snowball you must use the links in such format
<a href="www.example.com/category-name-c-1.html">Category Name</a>
Hope this will work!

You have to write the complete url started with http in anchor tag.hope this will work.
