Move virtuemart category links to the root

[iamchanger]

I have following urls for categories

1. /catalog/category_1
2. /catalog/category_2
3. etc.

Urls for catalog items

1. /catalog/category_1/item_1
2. /catalog/category_1/item_2
3. /catalog/category_2/item_3

What I want to achieve is to move categories links to root of my site but preserve links to catalog items, so search robots and users will see following urls.

For categories:

1. /category_1
2. /category_1

For catalog items:

1. /catalog/category_1/item_1
2. /catalog/category_1/item_2
3. /catalog/category_2/item_3

/catalog is an alias which is configured via link administrator/index.php?option=com_menus&menutype=mainmenu&task=edit&cid[]=44 and it points to index.php?option=com_virtuemart

The new version has an option, which works almost like that.

It just removes also all categories for your products, so we need for you a kind of mixed mode. Silvermembership would cover the development costs http://extensions.virtuemart.net/support/virtuemart-supporter-membership-detail
