Merchants.php not directing properly when using $config_useRewrite

Submitted by krispy1812 on Sun, 2006-09-03 16:30 in

Hi,

The merchants.php is not directing properly with $config_useRewrite enabled for friendly url's.

Everything else seems to work fine with this enabled, except the merchants link when calling from merchants.php . I followed the apache htaccess instructions and don;t think it is a problems with this as everything else works fine.

When you do a search and click the merchants link from within the product description area, it directs to the merchant fine, but not from merchants.php .

I have the same problem with brands.php

any suggestions ?

regards

Hi,

When $config_useRewrite is enabled, the "real" files (merchants.php, brands.php and categories.php) cannot be used because the rewrite mechanism is expecting the search engine friendly URL to be in the address bar.

Instead, the pages should be accessed as follows:

http://www.yoursite.com/merchant/
http://www.yoursite.com/category/
http://www.yoursite.com/brand/

Cheers,
David.
