Question

I have a big doubt in forming url for products. Currently url is formed by using the name attribute. I want to change this to sku_id(attribute) of the products. For this where i need to change?

Answer 1

You can use product sku value in product "URL Key" field.

Or

You can use an extension for custom product URL. Its free and easy to use.

Answer 2

• If you want to have the Sku in products url instead of name product, you just have to put your sku in the url key catalog>product manager>add product>url key.

• If you want to add it in url, you can follow this:

Use an Event Observer catalog_product_save_before

config.xml

    <global>
        <events>
            <catalog_product_save_before>
                <observers>
                    <stockalert>
                        <type>singleton</type>
                        <class>yourmodel/observer</class>
                        <method>autoupdateurlKey</method>
                    </stockalert>
                </observers>
            </catalog_product_save_before>
        </events>
    </global>   

Observer:

    public function autoupdateurlKey($observer)
    {
        $product=$observer->getEvent()->getProduct();
        $oldUrlKey=$product->getOrigData('url_key');

        $Sku=$product->getSku();
        $TypeId=$product->getTypeId();

        // put yourlogic 
        $product->getData('url_key',$YourNewUrl);

         return $this;
    }
