Magento (1.9) Url rewrite to requested path

Question

In Magento URL rewrite i create a custom redirection for login URL'customer/account/login' to login.html

But when i click the login link, its again redirect to the 'http://URLBASE/customer/account/login' page instead of 'http://URLBASE/login.html'.

so can you please explain how to redirect my custom URL to the request path.

Answer 1

By the way you created the rewrite you will get this outcome.
Each time you call login.html in the browser you will see the login page.
But all the links in the application will still point to customer/account/login.

In order to make the links look like login.html you need to rewrite the method Mage_Customer_Helper_Data::getLoginUrl and make it look something like this (untested code)

public function getLoginUrl()
{
    $params = $this->getLoginUrlParams();
    $params['_direct' => 'login.html'];
    return $this->_getUrl('', $params);
}

Answer 2

Create your custom module

And over-right the function getLoginUrl() class :: Mage_Customer_Helper_Data.

This is an helper class so you need to create the your Helper class :

Create or Over-right magento helper classes.

with following code:

$params = $this->getLoginUrlParams(); $params['customer'] = 'login.html'; return $this->_getUrl('', $params);
