How are those sub-category links being generated? I am using tool kit to generate mine so I just had to modify the link in the code on the CTGY page to correspond to my shortlink setup.

I'm using toolkit to create them as well. I just can't find the sub-cat links in my category templates. I can find all the other ones, though.

Are you using some sort of template manager, or might the display be in the Category Screen header/footer?

Yes. I'm using Category Template Manager and making my own templates for categories.

Edit: OK. I found the code that I need to change for the subcat links. HOWEVER, I don't know what the new code should be.

Sorry if I'm being a pain. =(

Is it using the Toolkit subcat display, or the Sebenza Category Template Manager subcat display?

I figured it out! Found the code I need to swap out and figured out the right code to put in. My short links are coming along!

Now, I just need to figure out how to get my Navigation Links at the top of each category page to change to short links, my related products tables to use short links and my best seller table to use short links. Once I figure that out I'll be all set.

Your related products would probably be changed in the tab labeled 'Related Product List Layout' under the PROD page.

It sounds like we can't change the page navigation links to short links, so I just added a canonical link to my CTGY page template: <link href="http://www.yourwebsite.com/c/&mvte:global:Category_Code;.html" rel="canonical" />. (Make sure to follow your link structure here)

Great! Got the related products links to work. Thanks a ton for the suggestion.

Still working on the bestseller display links and nav links. Gonna try to add the canonical links soon.

edit: Here is the code for my current best seller display


<br><center><mvt:item name="bestsell" param="custom" /><mvt:if expr="g.bestsell_listitems_count GT 0"> <table border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2"> <tr><th colspan="3" align="center"> <mvt:item name="fonts" param="hdr_font"> Best Sellers at &mvt:global:store:name; </mvt:item> </th></tr> <tr> <mvt:foreach iterator="bestsell_listitem" array="global:bestsell_listitems"><td align="center" valign="top"><mvt:item name="fonts" param="ctgy_font"><mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:bestsell_listitem:thumbnail"> <mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:bestsell_listitem:link"> &mvt:bestsell_listitem:link; </mvt:if> <img src="&mvt:bestsell_listitem:thumbnail;" border="0"> <mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:bestsell_listitem:link"> </a> </mvt:if><mvt:else> No Photo</mvt:if><br><b><mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:bestsell_listitem:link">&mvt:bestsell_l istitem:link;</mvt:if>&mvt:bestsell_listitem:name;<mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:bestsell_listitem:link"></a></mvt:if></font></b><br><font color="#cc3333"><b>&mvt:bestsell_listitem:formatte d_price;</b></font></mvt:item><mvt:item name="fonts" param="ctgy_font"><br></mvt:item></td><mvt:if expr="(pos1 MOD 3 ) EQ 0"></tr><tr><td colspan="3"><br>&nbsp;</td></tr><tr></mvt:if> </mvt:foreach><mvt:if expr="(pos1 MOD 3) EQ 1"><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td></mvt:if><mvt:if expr="(pos1 MOD 3) EQ 2"><td>&nbsp;</td></mvt:if></tr></table></mvt:if></center>Not sure which part to change.

I can't figure out how to change my navigation links on the top of my category pages to sort links. (Home_category_subcategory_product) See my website link below

I also can't figure out how to change the "view (x amount of) products per change links, to short links. See my website links below

If you go to this link on my website you'll see what I'm talking about
