Remove index.php?route=common/home from OpenCart

I currently have User SEO URL's set to Yes in OpenCart Admin.

System -> Settings -> Store -> Server -> User SEO URL's

So far, all tags and SEO links are working; the command has done the desired effect.

However for the homepage and a few other links; how do I remove:

index.php?route=common/home

From the URL? Do I have to literally do a find and replace in the hardcode PHP files and risk upgrades or is there another way?

(without bloating performance i.e no poor amateur tools such as vQmod)

Solution

  • To simply remove that, you can do a basic replace in /catalog/controller/common/seo_url.php

    Find:

    return $link;

    Before it on a new line put:

    $link = str_replace('index.php?route=common/home', '', $link);

    Edit by TheBlackBenzKid: If you want full SEO just use this line instead of the above:

    $link = str_replace('index.php?route=', '', $link);

    Also make sure SEO URLs is turned on in the Admin panel of the store.
