Search engine friendly links for product (and pages)

On Joomla:

SEF segments are there to control the search engine friendly URLs to your product pages and configurator pages. A typical URL to a configurator page looks like this:

www.example.com/product-listing/product-segment/page-segment

Let's look at the individual parts of that URL:

• product-listing: this part comes from the URL of the Joomla menu item linking to the product listing

• product-segment: this comes from the product's SEF segment

• page-segment: this comes from the configurator page's SEF segment

You edit the product's SEF segment in the product edit screen in section Others. The page's SEF segment you find on the page's edit screen in section Display.

On Wordpress:

On Wordpress we talk about permalinks. Link to products from product listings or next/prev links on configurator pages use a flat URL, so permalinks look like this:

www.example.com/productSegment-pageSegment/

You control productSegment on your product's edit screen in section Others. The pageSegment you control on the configurator page's edit screen in section Display.

Note: You can insert a configurator page with a short code in any of your posts and pages, but when the system generates a URL to a configurator page it will use the system URL. At this point we are still looking into an efficient way to search your posts and use the post's permalink instead.
