Need URL rewrite for brand listing

Question

I want to make URL for SEO optimization.

My URL is: supplements.html?manufacturer=166
I want URL like: supplements/manufacturer/scivation.html

(scivation is manufacturerfor id 166 and supplementsis category and manufacturer is attribute)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.

Do you want to do this only using magento or magento/apache mod_rewrite? — MagePal Extensions, Nov 22 '12 at 10:37

Because 'supplements' is a category (which changes) it's going to be more difficult to use a writing rule without hard coding. One possible solution is to use Mage::getModel('core/url_rewrite') (example) to create a route for each (you may run into issues using this method)

Another solution would be to change the url format

/manufacturer/supplements/scivation.html

Then create a custom module

config.xml

<global>
    <rewrite>
      <fancy_url>
            <from><![CDATA[/manufacturer\/(.*)/(.*)/]]></from>
            <to><![CDATA[manufacturer/index/processroute/manufacturername/$2/]]></to>
            <complete>1</complete>
       </fancy_url>
    <rewrite>
</global>
<frontend>
    <routers>
        <tagseo>
            <use>standard</use>
            <args>
                <frontName>customcategory</frontName>
            </args>
        </tagseo>
    </routers>

class MageIgniter_Manufacturer_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
     public function processRoute(){
           print_r($requestUri = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getRequestUri()); //supplements/scivation.html
           print_r($this->getRequest()->getParam('manufacturername')); // scivation.html
           print_r($this->getRequest())
           // do you custom logic here base on about request path explode('/', trim($requestUri,'/'))

           //lookup the attribute_id from attribute name 
           //if attribute_id found then try 
           //$this->_forward(string $action, [string|null $controller = null], [string|null $module = null], [ $params = null])
           // to the catalog page
           // else  $this->_forward('defaultNoRoute');


     }
     ...
