How to change JoomShopping URLs?

Question

I have added several JoomShopping categories with respective pages. However, they have long URLs:

http://ysadba.kiev.ua/component/jshopping/CATEGORY/PRODUCT.html?Itemid=0

I'd like them to look like this:

http://ysadba.kiev.ua/CATEGORY/PRODUCT.html

I tried to use the following .htaccess configuration:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/single-room([a-z0-9./-]*)$
RewriteRule single-room([a-z0-9./-]*) component/jshopping/single-room$1 [P]

However, I didn't succeed, because this redirects to file with this address, while I just need to create some sort of alias. Has anyone experienced similar problems?

Answer 1

Yes it redirects to the long address; in your case IMHO: you have to write a router to supporting SEF URLs in your component. I think, all you need is described here: https://docs.joomla.org/Supporting_SEF_URLs_in_your_component
