The Improved SEO Urls modification for CubeCart version 4 has been written to remove the Product, Category & Document ID's out of the URL's throughout CubeCart.
For the purposes of retaining Search Engine listing positions, the modified .htaccess file and coding within this modification redirects Old SEO Friendly URLS to the new URL's using a "302 Permanently Moved" header ensuring Search Engines correctly follow on to the new path.
Example
URL changes are detailed below:
Site Documents
/about-us/info_1.html = /info/about-us/
/contact-us/info_2.html = /info/contact-us/
Category Pages
/test-category/cat_1.html = /test-category/
/saleitems/cat_saleItems.html = /sale-items/
Product Pages
/test-category/product-name/prod_1.html = /products/test-category/product-name/
