how to change url text of a magento module which is display in address bar

Question

I am using store locator extension when I click on its link from home page its URL in address bar is looking like this www.mydomain/datta_store_locator but I want to change like this www.mydomain/storelocation how could I change this name

Answer 1

Magento is managed router name from frontName at config.xml so, you need to change in frontName at your module config xml

<frontName>datta_store_locator</frontName

to

<frontName>storelocation</frontName>

Answer 2

Look in the config.xml of the extension.
There should be something like this inside the <frontend> tag:

   <routers>
        <some_value_here>
            <use>standard</use>
            <args>
                <module>Module_Name</module>
                <frontName>datta_store_locator</frontName> 
            </args>
        </some_value_here>
    </routers>

You need to change the value of <frontName> to what ever you need.
