Magento: different URLs for different StoreViews? - magento

in our Magento Shop we have 2 StoreViews for 2 different languages. Since both StoreViews uses the same URLs, only one Storeview is beiing indexed by Google in the correct country. Is it possible to automatically change the URLs of the one StoreView to make it unique for both StoreViews?
Thanks,
Toby

You can change your store url and can have a different url for different stores.
Go to System -> configuration -> Select the Store view in the drop down (Default config) -> Go to Web -> Uncheck the Use default option and Enter the URl for the Store view..
Hope this helps you

Multiple Custom Admin URL

im trying to have the same backend but with multiple subdomains. first i created one of my subdomains in the backend has showen in this image above.
And is working fine, but not i need the same backend with another subdomain for example "sync.mydomain.com", but i cant find any information on magento docs in configuring custom admin url in multiple domains. Does someone have any idea if it is possible to configure it on magento?
In order to make magento work with multiple domains, you need to make few steps.
System->Manage Stores -> Create Store Fill in the store fields,
taking care that the Website and Root Category are the same as your
primary site.store. Save Store
Create Store View Fill in the store view fields, change Store to the
new store you just created, give your store view a Name (spaces ok),
a code and make sure it’s enabled, after that save the store view.
System->Configuration->Web Change the scope on the upper left to your newly created store view
Change Unsecure->Base URL to your second domain (You’ll have to uncheck Use Website)
Change Secure->Base URL to your second domain (You’ll have to uncheck Use Website)
Save Config
Open the .htaccess at the root of your Magento install
Add the following, obviously changing the values with your own:
SetEnvIf Host www.mysecondarydomain.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=yoursecondarystoreviewcode
SetEnvIf Host ^mysecondarydomain.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=yoursecondarystoreviewcode
Clear the cache and re-index the site.

Why are my links created in a subfolder url having only one single store in Magento

I only have one Website -> Store -> View, and even so I get all my URL's linking to products, categories, pages, etc... as http://www.website.com/default/category/product-1.html
When it should be http://www.website.com/category/product-1.html. "default/" is always present.
I would like to remove the unnecessary default/ subfolder in my URLs.
Any Ideas?
Go to System -> Configuration -> General -> Web -> URI Options
Here you can see the first option as Add Store Code to Urls select it to NO and save the config.
close the browser and look your store now.
It will work.
The problem is that you cannot have multiple stores with the same store code.
Navigate to System >Configuration > Web > Url options > Add Store Code to Urls and set it to No
Note: When using Store Code in URLs, in some cases system may not work properly if URLs without Store Codes are specified in the third party services (like paypal)

Change Magento from multiple stores with multiple domains to multiple stores on one domain

I currently have 3 magento stores, each has its own domain name. (just the ltd is different)
I want to change this so that I just have one tld, the .com. But I want to keep the seperate stores.
How can I change this back? Do I simply just remove the code from the index.php file, and change it in config?
Can be done from Admin
Go to Magento Admin
Navigate to System -> Manage Store. There you will see all your websites, stores and store view.
You'll your stores in second column. Click on them and change Website (top row)

Good luck!

Managing contents in multilingual stores in Magento

This might be a basic question, I'm still relatively new to Magento. I have 2 store views in a magento project. 1 for English (default) and 1 for Japanese. While working with both store views, I noticed how if for example I switch to the Japanese store view, if I redirected to a different page or content on the store, the language goes back to English. How do I prevent the website from going back to the default language every time I change categories/catalogs?
That is all about Magento Admin setting. While creating Content Pages/Categories/products, there is a option that ask to choose Store View.
You can add content for Cateogries/Product/CMS Pages for each locale. If it is done then you'll be able to see your site content on the basis of current locale. Hence you need to go through Magento Admin first.
Hope it will work for you. Please let me know if any issue.
Managing contents in multilingual stores in Magento is easy.
Edit/Create Product/Category/Page/Static blocks according to need storeview and put content according to languages in that.
Now access pages by store code, if we are using that.
In some case we don't find the heading names according to languages so just enable inline translater from admin and do translation specific to store/website.
To run Magento store using urls we have both options index.php modifiction and using .htaccess using website and store codes.
On running Magento multisite , multistore. We generally face the common urls for media, js and other resources we should use symlink to increase SEO ranking and score.
Please feel free to contact.
Install your language package.
Create products, categories, pages, and static blocks on the basis of your selected language.
Sometimes translation does not work for few words. In those cases, Inline translation from admin will help you.
Managing content according to store view is very easy.
follow up below steps for managing content according to Store view.
Edit your product or category or your page and static block etc.
after that you can see store select left side in product and category and on page you can see feild below url in static block also. select your store view.
whater ever you want to change or edit please do according to you.
After that save it will apear only on your selected store.
Note: if you not edit any fild by store then it will show default store contents.

SEO: category and product path (URL) - Magento

I have one or two categries in magento but these are not always showing up in URL.
Example:
When I navigate to a product page the path looks like this:
.../cat/subcat/product.html
However, when I click a product directly from the frontpage (newest, featured), then the URL structure looks like this:
.../product.html
My first thought was to deactivate, that the category is showing up within the URL (backend seo tab).
Well, I'm trying to seo the shop and not very happy with this solution. I'd like to have always a clear structured URL.
Any ideas?
If your website has a complicated structure, you will have multiply URL for a single product, just like you mentioned. This situation may damage your website's profile to the customer, but it won't be any problems to Search Engine. The latest version of Magento provides canonical URL support for product and category. You may access the configuration under
System -> Configuration -> Catalog -> Search Engine Optimizations -> Use Canonical Like Meta Tag for Products
If you are going to eliminate this situation throughly, you can create URL writes to the URL you want through a 403 status code, which also will tell search engine that the content has been permanently migrate to the target URL and user can only access the URL you want to present to them.
The problem you have is that a product can belong to multiple categories so what category should be used in this case?
Depending on how you are outputting the newest, featured etc.. you could use a static block instead and simply put in the products manually which you can then link to the product in the category you want. This is a manual process but one that would work for what you want to do without requiring custom work.
