Hi,

Aricie.FriendlierUrlProvider allows you to change the CataLOOK product details pages. Look into the Module Specific Strategies section if the CataLOOk rewrite rule is existing else add it.

If you should add the strategy for catalook module, choose ItemPane_NF module to add it. Select the right provider (CatalookUrlRewriter) and click on Add Provider link.

Use the group [/${ProductName}] to show the product name
Use the group [/${AdvCatName}] to show the advanced category name
Use the group [/${CategoryName}] to show the standard category name

You must add the rewrite group between rules aliases like on the screenshot.

Activate Extensionless Urls

To activate extensionless urls, you should click on the link "Activate Extension less Urls".

For the next step, you should know the IIS version that you use :

• If you're running IIS 6 or IIS 7 in classic mode, you should also configure your web server to add a wildcard isapi extension
• If you're running IIS 7 in integrated mode, you should just verify if the rewrite group [.{Extension}] had been successfully remove in the rule alias else do it manually.

Best regards,

 Hi,

Your needs are a little bit more difficult than an module specific strategie. You must extend your module specific strategy with a conditionnal behavior to switch between your use cases.

First of all, you must edit the module specific strategy general rewrite rule to show only the category and we will see how to add a conditionnal behavior for the case where the module show a product detail.

Edit the general rewrite rule for the catalook specific strategy

[${Scheme}][${UserInfo}][${RootPath}][/${Lang}][/${TabPath,None}][/${TabName,None}][/${AdvCatName}][/${ControlKey}][?${QueryString,None}][#${Fragment,QueryStringFlag}]

I have delete the product rewriting group, he will be processed with the conditionnal rule.
Notice : Replace [/${AdvCatName}] by [/${CategoryName}] if you are using the standard category of CataLook.

How to add a conditionnal behavior

• Open the module specific section and go on your specific stragtegy for the Catalook module.
• Open the Conditionnal Behavior section and click on the "Add Conditionnal Behavior" link.
  
   
• A new rules forms appear with an additionnal section above, "Flee Boolean Expression"
  
   
• The Flee Boolean Expression allow you to add an specific condition to define a specific use case. In our case, you want have only the product name without the category name when you are on a detailled product page. So we need to know when we have a product to show to specify a specific rule for the product. The following Flee Boolean Expression does the job correctly : Input.Param("ProductID") <> ""
   
• The last step is to verify on the overriding settings of the specific Catalook Stragtegy if "Override Conditional Settings" is checked

Since it could be nice to read localized urls, I was wondering if somehow is possible, using your solution, to use a localized value of advanced category. I saw a localized value of my adv.categories lives in CAT_Resources table while there's no localization in CAT_AdvCategories.

Any solution for that?
