Hi smith cart,

In cart version 3.88 (DNN 5.5), I don't quite understand the product SEO part in the instruction manual.

I would like to implement this - is it possible?

www.mysite.com/shop/great-new-product1.aspx

www.mysite.com/shop/great-new-product2.aspx

It seems like I can only do this for every product:

www.mysite.com/shop/productdetails.aspx

I didn't understand from the manual which of the two of these is done. I don't use IFinity by the way.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the manual text (3.85) for those who are interested

URL Keywords – The keywords entered in this field will be dynamically added in the URL of the product detail page. If you have configured friendly URL‟s in your portal or are using the iFinity URL module then the value you enter in this field will be the page name when the user navigates to the product details page for the product. For example, if you have a product titled Halo4 and you enter "Halo4" as your product page name the product detail page URL would be the following:

yourdomain.com/halo4.aspx

On the product listing page if you populate the SEO Url field in the category mgmt screen your url will look like your example below:
www.mysite.com/shop/xbox-games.aspx

Thanks Scott, but that's not what I see on my site.
You mentioned that populating the SEO URL field gives URLs like this: www.mysite.com/shop/xbox-games.aspx
But it doesn't seem to do this. Every product with an SEO URL field goes to www.mysite.com/shop/product-details-page.aspx (unless that is what you meant in your example?).

...
So to sum up - please confirm if I understand correctly.

In the past every product URL looked something like mysite.com/pd/productid/25/halo4.aspx

Now, the hyperlinks go to the same URL, and the images all lead to the same product details page - www.mysite.com/shop/product-details-page.aspx

If this is correct (it seems to behave this way), then is there anything new I should do now (3.88) compared to before regarding SEO keywords?It doesn't seem like much has changed re: friendly AND seo. Either it's friendly or SEO but not both as far as I can see at the moment.

Let me clarify further.

My product list page is www.mysite.com/Shop.aspx

If I then click on any product options button, I go to the product details page www.mysite.com/Shop/ProductDetails.aspx. This is a friendly URL but contains no product SEO, because it is the same URL for every product.

If instead, I clicked on the product hyperlink or image (also from the product listing page), I go to www.mysite.com/Shop/ProductDetails/tabid/79/ProductID/1/product-name-SEO-title-here/Default.aspx. This has SEO, but it is unfriendly.

Is that behaving as expected? It seems like there is currently no URL which is both friendly AND contains SEO keywords.

Thanks Dave and Scott. Great support as usual.
