Hi.

In our shop we have a productlist with 2000 products. When we click the product on the productlist the URL is:

Default.aspx?ID=6&GroupID=GROUP22&ProductID=Z14358

But when the page renders the URL it returns is:

/badekar/duravit-2nd-floor-whirltub-1600x700mm-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-21-22-23-24-25-26-27-28-29-30-31-32-33-34-35-36-37-38-39-40-41-42-43-44-45.aspx

Support says that it could be a custom script, but we don't have any scripts, which changes URL's. We only have custom scripts, which updates product prices, stock and so on, from a CSV file.

Has anybody any idea what could trigger this?

I'm experiencing this problem aswell, and i'm interested in a fix aswell.

We have no modules that tamper with the URLs..

I can forward examples if needed.

Hi Martin

How many products do you have in that category?

Hi Nicolai

XXURL REMOVED

click on a product below count of 20.

(I might remove the URL when you have looked at it, so the SEO dudes dont see a refering).

Hi Peter,

I suppose it happens because you have many products with not unique names and you are using customized urls. So, Dynamicweb could not create correct unique url for each product (names not unique) and Dynamicweb adds some unique information in tail of generated url.

Hi Dmitry

That was the error. I have tested it in a sandbox, and two unique productname gives the problem.

I have told the client not to have equal name on products. So case closed.

BTW, it is really easy to tell the client not to have equal names, because the equal name will instantly trigger the feared duplicate content on Google if the titles and descriptions are also equal, so thats heavy argument.

It's great that DW makes sure that no product URL is the same, but i think how it's done should be tweaked a little.

On my solution i get this url:
/shop/products/dancers-on-sq.-mod-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-21-22-23-24-25-26-27-28-29-30-31-32-33-34-35-36.aspx?PID=143

Shouldn't the url be:
/shop/products/dancers-on-sq.-mod-36.aspx?PID=143

All the other numbers aren't used for anything.

Martin
