Title: use lowercase instead of uppercase caracter in alias/ slug
Post by: jarikbiz on January 30, 2014, 11:36:53 AM
HI all,

I have searched for a while but didn't find the right solution. I'm looking for a way to generate the aliases inside Virtuemart with _ instead of -. I don't understand why this isn't a standard feature because of the SEO improvement.

Does anyone know in which file and where i can change the automatic generation of the alias (from - to _ )?

Thanks!

The general concesus is that hyphens and not underscores should be used in urls and for SEO purposes.
