short links not working for category tree and products.

[Mark Hood]

Thanks,
Domain settings is using "product" & "category".

I just spotted an error in the category tree file and everything is ok with the Category tree links. They now take me to the category product listing display.

BUT When I click on a product I still get an error message "Page '3703' no longer exists" (3703 is a product code.)

Which file is the problem in - .Category Product List Layout or Product Display Layout??

You need to edit the product display layout tab of the CTGY page. The actual link you that currently have surrounding your product image and product name is incorrect for the way you have the product identifier set up.

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by showing this url.

[Ren Hoek]

Your rewrites are setup so that category links use the identifier of /category. Product links use an identifier of /product. If the identifier is not in place, the urls will fire as page not found.

This was the wrong info. Edit the category page CTGY - -- On the page there is a "tab" that says "Category Product Display Layout"

Find the link that looks something like this --- <a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/&mvt:product:code;.html">

needs to be <a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/product/&mvt:product:code;.html">
