In Magento there's a tick box - if you want or not to have the category in the product's link.

In Opencart there's no such think. What there is in Opencart - is a file which manages the SEO interpretation of links.

If you'll add "/" in front of the link within that file (the professionals who worked with it know about it) that will make the link absolute instead of relative and the product will appear at the beginning of the web site root.

My concern is that at some point this will break and I'm looking for a solution which can be applied on a commercial platform 20k+ products where failing can bring real damage.

The files I was talking about are these:

```
1.4.x: /catalog/model/tool/seo_url.php        
1.5.x: /catalog/controller/common/seo_url.php

```

The change I already know you need to do is:

```
$url .= '/' . $query->row['keyword']; 

```

replace with:

```
$url = '/' . $query->row['keyword']; 

```

It breaks things such as breadcrumbs, again - my concern is that I don't know what other things it breaks therefore I'm looking for another solution.

SEO is mandatory, any SEO advice / plugin applied on Opencart will be more than welcomed. I'm constantly researching the market for related software, I'm willing to change the CMS (which will involve investing hours of development) if I can get better solutions.

Currently I'm dealing with Magento which is NOT flexible, each change drives us crezy - we're looking for something nu that buggy and difficult to work on.
