usually we can see a product in magento with two URLs: htp://mysite.com/some-category/some-product.html or htp://mysite.com/some-product.html. I need to have all products visible by URL like htp://mysite.com/products/some-product.html. Most obvious way is to add a category ‘products’ and link all products to this category, but we have a few thousands of products in the catalog, so I’d like to do it in some programmatic way. Please give me a suggestion in which way I could do it? Now my idea is to overload class Mage_Core_Model_Url_Rewrite but I’m not sure if it is good idea.
