Hello guyz

Im having an issue with the links of my products, which are not SEF and thats the problem.

Im using 3.8.2 Joomla version   and 3.2.4 Virtuemart version.

So the issue is that my product links are something like this :  sitename.gr/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=2132&virtuemart_category_id=113
which is bad for search engines. Ofcourse i've set SEF links to OFF, because it gives me error otherwise. From what i've read in other posts i have to change something in htaccess file, but what?


Let me clarify that my product names are in greek characters but i have no problem if my links are in "greeklish" for example if the original item title is "Προιόν" to be changed to "proion" through the alias.


How i solve this? What should i add to my htaccess file and where?

If you didn't do so already, you need to change the filename htaccess.txt to .htaccess (using your ftp client) in your Joomla root folder, before you set 'Search Engine Friendly URLs' and 'Use URL Rewriting' to ON in the Joomla configuration.
Non-English Shops: Are your language files up to date?

Oh yes, thats it man, thank you.

My links now are sitename.gr/component/virtuemart/item category/item name    can i somehow get rid the "/component/viruemart" part?

Anyway, thanks man
