Thread: Product urls

Are product urls stored in the db somewhere or are they generated dynamically?

For example, I see product urls of the form:
http://storename/p-nn-name-of-product.aspx

where the p is used for all products, nn is the product ID assigned by aspdnsf and the product name is the name we gave it with hyphens replacing spaces.

Thanks

The URLs are built dynamically at page load. We use the SEName field within the database to build the product/category/entity name portion of the links. They will all follow the same general format, whether you're looking at a product (p-##), category (c-##), topic (t-), etc.

Thank you very much

Is it possible (with the source code) to redo the building of these urls?
Our customer wants something along the lines of:

site.com/products/{id}/{SEName}
and
site.com/categories/{id}/{SEName}

etc.

We haven't bought the source yet, but thought about doing so in order to fix this issue.

That is possible with some source code modifications in the current version, yes.

In ML9 (very soon now!) that will no longer require source code mods, just very simple web.config changes.
