hi,
as my title says I have a problem with my product page URLs.
After I make a new category and a subcategory assigning the VM Single product page module I cant make the URL pretty, usable and global... the modul ask me for one specific product...
and every product URL is generated differently based on category or current position and this drives me crazy... I have 4 5 type of product URLs
domain.com/bycategory/prod-name
domain.com/bytype/prod-name
domain.com/other/prod-name
this is bad because eg. I dont wand my filter to appear on product pages but I want them on by category page... but if I assign de filter modul to category page it will appear on product page bc the URL is inheriting AAAAND this is just one problem... this kind of urls are bad for SEO.
Can I fix the product URL links without worrying about unpredictable behaviour? no matter from which category do I visit I want them like this:
domain.com/product/lg-smat-tv
domain.com/product/samsung-ssd-evo2333

There is no solution for this? :(
these sef urls are produced by the com_virtuemart/router.php
If u look at the file u will see just how complex sef url production is.. to get your nirvana of site/product url u would need to do some recoding in there.
You are telling me that there is no admin solution for this? :) How could anyone choose VM if something this easy and essential is not part of the plugin? The plugin author realises how this affects the analytic data?
This makes impossible to make a professional e-commerce site out of the box.
I already contacted a developer. Thanks for your replay.

what admin solution would you like?
If you scanned the forum you would see long discussions about SEF urls and everyone wants something different...
