(Magento) On a category page I can filter products by other categories using the ?cat=... parameter. This works just fine (In combination with Amasty improved navigation). But I would like to make the URL SEO friendly. Now my URL looks like:

https://sitedomain/brands/sony?cat=251

Explained:

"brands" is a category containing subcategories for all my brands.

"sony" (example) is a sub category of "brands" containing all Sony products.

"cat 251" is a category named "cameras" with a different parent (so not a sub category of "brands" or "Sony")

This URL shows me all Sony camera's, so that's just fine. But I would the URL to be:

https://sitedomain/brands/sony/cameras
or if that is not possible something like:
https://sitedomain/brands/sony/filter/cameras

I have no idea how to start. My approach was creating a module that triggers a URL rewrite as soon as the cat parameter exists. But I had no luck at all so far. So is this even possible? And if so, please point me into the right direction. Thanks!

There are one extension for it.

Layered Navigation SEO

Find Git hub link for that extension.

In your case you have to create custom route like Mage_Cms module.

Refer this Answer. Git module to start.

  • Thank you. I have no doubt this plugin works with a clean magento install. But as I mentioned I use Amasty Improved Navigation. Unfortunately these modules do not work together. Besides that, this module has way to many functions for what I need. I only need to rewrite ?cat=. – Tober Nov 08 '16 at 15:02
  • @Tober answer updated. Its not exact answer for you but can be helpful to start. – Gopal Patel Nov 08 '16 at 15:20
  • Thanks for the edit. I haven't implemented it yet, but I think this will help me a lot. If this (in a few days) turns out to be a good help/solution I'll accept your answer. – Tober Nov 09 '16 at 14:01

Depending on product and/or category fluctuation and/or their count, it might be easiest to insert rewrite (without redirection) rules (by code) for every possible category combination.
