Product URL rewrites not created when "Use Categories Path for Product URLs" is enabled

[janbuelens]

We have an issue with url rewrites after importing categories and products via Pimgento.

The url rewrites for the categories work fine, but the url-rewrites for the products are not ok.

When the setting "Use Categories Path for Product URLs" in "stores > configuration > catalog > Search Engine Optimization" is set to "Yes". There is no url rewrite created for the product.

An example: I have a category with the following url: https://my-site.com/root-category/sub-category.html

In this category there is a product with the url key "product-url". When I create the product in Magento, this is the url: https://my-site.com/root-category/sub-category/product-url.html But when the product is imported via Pimgento, there is no url rewrite created for the following url: https://my-site.com/catalog/product/view/id/4968/s/product-url/category/186/

Steps to reproduce:

• set "Use Categories Path for Product URLs" in "stores > configuration > catalog > Search Engine Optimization" to "Yes"
• Create a category in Akeneo and add a product to this category
• Import the category and product in Magneto

We are using Magento EE2.1.6

Hi,

URL rewrites system has been improved by @spipu in pull #65

It seems developments can not use category in URLs. This fonctionnality is rarely used on Magento stores, because of duplicate content (product in severals categories give different URL fore same product).

So this fonctionnality is not in our roadmap, but maybe @spipu can work on it.

Hi,

Adding categories to the URL is default Magento functionality. When using this functionality and enabling the canonical tags, there is no duplicate content issue.

Isn't it possible to add this to the roadmap?

I agree with @janbuelens. This functionality is enabled by default in Magento. It won't cause duplicate content because Magento adds canonical tags to prevent this.

[janbuelens]

@magentix can we expect a patch for this issue? Sice this is default Magento behaviour, I think a fix for this issue should be added to the roadmap.

Hi,

We will work on it for add product URL key in rewrite.

@janbuelens So I created a product with the name "test" manually and got three redirects: /test.html -> catalog/product/view/id/199/category/4 /tvs-und-projectoren/test.html -> catalog/product/view/id/199/category/5 test.html -> catalog/product/view/id/119

So for each product you import you want to have three redirects, right?

[janbuelens]

@torhoehn yes, the same redirects should be created as when you create a product manually.

@janbuelens Okay, I'll have a closer look at this tomorrow.

@magentix @janbuelens What do you think about to use this solution? https://magento2-blog.com/magento-2-regenerate-url-rewrites/

[janbuelens]

@torhoehn this looks like a good solution
