Removing .html from page names

[vidmarc]

Is this set in Cubecart, or in .htaccess?

The "pattern" of parsing and creating friendly web addresses is in the SEO class (/classes/seo.class.php).

There is also a similar pattern in .htaccess that parses for a URL that ends in .html.

Any suggestions as to what I need to do to remove .html and .php from urls?

CubeCart uses only index.php and everything else is brought in using PHP's include function.

So, it is (probably) possible to suppress the appearance of index.php in the URL because the web browser is commonly configured to execute it being the first in the list of default documents.

First, if the .html part is going to disappear, then .htaccess needs to stop parsing for it.

From:

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html?$ index.php?seo_path=$1 [L,QSA]

To:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?seo_path=$1 [L,QSA]

But probably better to make it optional to catch obsolete occurances:

RewriteRule ^(.*)(\.html?)?$ index.php?seo_path=$1 [L,QSA]
(Check for the correctness of this format.)

Next, in /classes/seo.class.php:

Near line 45, from:

private $_extension   = '.html';

To:

private $_extension   = '';

Also in the same file:

Find the function SEOable(). Near the beginning of the function, find
three instances of str_replace() dealing with search.html.

Replace search.html with just search.

I haven't tried any of this.

I thought I should leave as is.
