Ran in to this problem whilst ‘SEOing’ a client of mine’s OsCommerce store using the very popular Ultimate SEO URLs contribution.
I installed the mod with no problems, and initially, browsing the site seemed to be functioning fine - however, I then noticed then although the product names were being appended to the URLs properly, the category names were not showing up in the URL i.e. they looked like this store.com/-c-1.html
I couldn’t work out where to start on resolving this problem, so checked the database (all seemed fine), checked the seo.class.php file to ensure that there weren’t any typos with the get_category_name function - again, all was well.
So, I hit the support forum but after attempting to trawl through 159 pages of questions, soon gave up.
You want to know what the fix is? Turn off the ‘Add parent category to beginning of URLs’ option in the configuration section… Why? No idea, but it works and so I thought I’d share it in case other people were experiencing the same issue as me…
