Project Detail

Description

I upgraded from v2.1c to 2-2.2d-2 Jack_mcs 5 Jul 2009 (http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/2823) with the goal of eliminating the following

spacers from all URLs/links on my site:

-p-
-c-
-m-
-pi-
-a-
-pr-
-pri-
-i-

I have both of the following set to "false" in my admin console:

Add cPath to product URLs?
Add category parent to begining of URLs?

Unfortunately, I still have the above referenced spacers appearing.

My htaccess file has the following apache mod rewrite instruction set:

RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-(.*).html$ product_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-c-(.*).html$ index.php?cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-m-([0-9]+).html$ index.php?manufacturers_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-pi-([0-9]+).html$ popup_image.php?pID=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-t-([0-9]+).html$ articles.php?tPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-a-([0-9]+).html$ article_info.php?articles_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-pr-([0-9]+).html$ product_reviews.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-pri-([0-9]+).html$ product_reviews_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-i-([0-9]+).html$ information.php?info_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
