    I’m working on a shop and have a problem with the url.

    I have a product and that product has category, subcategory, sub-subcategory . What i want is that the URL looks like this:

    Domain/category/subcategory/sub-subcategory/product

    But i don’t know how to do this.

    Have someone any idea?

    The issue is EE doesn’t work with categories and URLs in that fashion. 

    EE categories are designed to be a simple filtering mechanism, only showing hierarchies in a list on the sidebar, but not reflecting those hierarchies in the URL.

    I’d review:

    And I’d also suggest looking at an addon by Low called Seg2Cat - with it and some carefully-built manual links you might be able to get close to what you are after.

    Hey Cosly.com,

    Thank you for posting your question!

    What do you think of Mike’s suggestion? Seg2Cat is pretty popular!

    Cheers,
