New page - where is it stored?

[ASTON]

Hi, This is my very first post here. New to osCMAX.

When I add a new product/category in the admin panel, it automatically creates a new page for that category/product. i.e....com/index.php?cPath=29. Can someone pls tell me where is this 'new' page stored in the folder and how can i change this ''/index.php?cPath=29'' to match my category/product name. TQ

There is no "folder" or "new page" - product displays are dynamically generated - pages don't "exist" per-say. What you see is the item database number in the url.

And No you can't change the cPath number to your product name etc.... HOW EVER your maybe inquiring about SEO path?

Just like this page shows:

Instead of somthing like:

This OPTION is already included in osCMax.... Edit your .htacess file and in admin - turn SEO to true.

use word pad

.htaccess file is in your /catalog directory (the same dir where index.php is)

If you cannot see it, your host has hidden files that start with a period (system files). You can set a filter in your ftp client to see these types of files.

Or you can edit the .htaccess file locally on your computer (it is included with the osCMax download) and then just upload the edited file.

Use any text editor other than Wordpad. Use a REAL Text editor as WordPad tends to try to format thing.....

There is several good ones out there Notepad++, UltraEdit, SciTE - are all ones I use - ranging from free to low cost. Many others you can choose from...


.htaccess file is in the root directory of your install.
