Hello
I'm using virtuemart 2.0.2 with joomla 2.5.4.
I have a link in the main navigation, "Wedding" that links to a page where a viewer can then select from virtuemart categories "Bridal Gowns", "Mothers Dresses", and "Mother in Law Dresses". When you click on one of those, for example "Bridal Gowns", it goes to that page, but in the url it is adding the date/time. It looks like this....

wedding/bridal2012-04-05-18-04-22_

How do I fix it so it only shows the category name (bridal) with no numbers such as

wedding/bridal

Thanks
Greg

The slug, (or alias)  has to be unique. (which is text in the url)

There cannot be 2 slugs the same.

You can change the slug in each category.

OR: If you are using the joomla menu for categories, you set the "alias" in the menu item.

IF there is a slug already

wedding-dresses      Joomlla, and virtuemart both will add a # to it.
