Check out this mod for better category SEO URL's

WHAT IT DOES
This mod is designed to turn your product URL's into a standard structure throughout your site, with all the breadrumbs working exactly the same regardless of how you get to a product, and all links to a product identical regardless of where you're linking from

EXAMPLE
Normally, clicking a product link on the home page for say an iMac on the demo/default store would link to
http://www.yourstore.com/i-mac
Where as if you clicked the product from the category DESKTOPS > MAC it would show
http://www.yourstore.com/desktop/mac/i-mac

The first would show the breadcrumb
Home » iMac
where the second shows
Home » Desktops » Mac » iMac

This inconsistency is confusing for customers and for the general store that only has one category per product, it makes more sense to show the latter version of them. This mod does just that, linking to the full category for a product globally and consistently

FEATURES

Utilises VQMOD, so no file changes required - Required (2.1 or above - latest always recommended)
URL's are still editable from the admin as they normally are
Caches query results on each page to reduce overhead

FAQ
Q: What happens if I have more than one category?
A: By default, it will select the category with the lowest sort order value, so if Category A has sort order 1 and category B has sort order 2, then Category A will be used globally. That said, this is recommended more for your general store with only one category per product, as most are

Q: Do I need SEO Url's enabled to use this?
A: Yes, this simply extends on OpenCart's default SEO URL's, so you will need to enable them as per the instructions, renaming the .htaccess.txt file to .htaccess and enabling SEO URL's in the Settings page
