is it bugs? 404 - Page Not Found

[chongshengdz]

my manually entered product Custom SEO URL Path is different from the breadcrumbs and alternate tags (<link rel="alternate") on the product detail page.

for example.

i manually entered

category/product-detail-

it will only show on breadcrumbs and alternate tags (<link rel="alternate") on the product detail page as below:

category/product-detail

and the product will become not found when you click on breadcrumbs or change languages.

how to fix this?

please help.

We would ask if you have an actual need for a trailing dash character.

If not, please use simply category/product-detail without the trailing dash.

how to disable auto-generated product Custom SEO URL Path and not to update to database and only read product Custom SEO URL Path from database when opening a product page?

[bsmither]

CubeCart will auto-generate a Custom SEO URL Path unless you enter something of your own specification. In admin, Edit Product, Search Engines tab, enter your own path. It can be anything, but must begin and end with a letter or number.

 

[chongshengdz]

but if start or end with a trailing dash character,it will not work.

how to fix this?

[bsmither]

Do not use a leading or trailing dash character.

[chongshengdz]

it must use.

because they are selected from title and auto replace empty spaces with a trailing dash character

do you know how to bulk remove trailing dash characters at the end from database?

[bsmither]

I understand you have a need to have trailing dashes.

This edit may work. To prevent CubeCart from "trimming" leading and trailing dashes, then in /classes/seo.class.php:

Near the end of the file, find:

private static function _safeUrl($url) {

Then, seven lines later, find:

return trim($url,'-');

Change this line to:

return $url; // trim($url,'-');
