Arguably one of the best features of Magento from a usability perspective is its powerful layered navigation system, which allows the customer to filter down the products presented to them from a category, enabling them to find the best products specific to their needs. A major downside to this filtering, is in the URLs generated. Magento will append a query string containing filter parameters to the current category URL, resulting in rather unhelpful (not to mention non-SEO friendly!) URLs such as www.yoursite.com/electronics.html?manufacturer=120 . Under normal circumstances, and for attributes such as “price” or “manufacturer”, this isn’t such a major issue. However, when it comes to the category filter it can present rather a large problem. To access, for example, the “Camera” category in the sample Magento installation, you could visit either of: www.yoursite.com/electronics/cameras.html www.yoursite.com/electronics.html?cat=12 Obviously the latter here is an i...
