Lower Case fro SEO Friendly URL Links

Author	« Topic »
papawj New Member USA 61 Posts	Posted - 04/10/2018 : 10:19:19 Is it possible to convert the proddetail seo friendly links to all lower case? I have products where the pname is like "Yellow Pencil " which I'd like to keep for the Page Title and H1 Tag. I'd would like the URL on the products.asp page to point to "yellow_pencil". I have already setup a URL Rewrite to enforce all lower case URLs but would like the links on the pages to reflect the Lower case links.

papawj New Member USA 61 Posts	Posted - 04/10/2018 : 11:30:45 Hello Sinbad, I have IIS 7. I have setup the web.config to force lowercase urls but the product links on the products pages are all showing Sentence case links. Could you point me in the right direction to add the necessary changes to web.config?

Have to keep those web crawlers happy . Edited by - papawj on 04/10/2018 12:04:19

papawj New Member USA 61 Posts	Posted - 04/10/2018 : 14:29:46 I already have the rule in place. The issue is the URL that is being generated from the products.asp page is not impacted by that rule. After much searching I figured it out. I modified the following line of code in the incproductbody2.asp file and added a LCase() around the thedetailslink tag: startlink="<a class=""ectlink"" href="""&LCase(thedetailslink)&""">" Guess I'll add that to a feature request so that the on-page links are can be generated in all lower case for SEO link optimization.

Have you try using a different browser or clearing the history/cache on your browser then browse the site.
