I would like to place a direct link to a magento product without using to pretty urls. Instead of something like this “http://store.d3scene.com/rift-60-days-pre-paid-time-card.html” I would like it to be “http://store.d3scene.com/product/list/id/187/” – or something similar.
Is that possible?
Yes it is. Keeping in mind that most Magento systems are heavily customized and this might not work for your particular installation, use URLs in the form of
If you’re ever wondering about details for a stock Magento page, you can use the free Commerce Bug demo page to find your page, and the use the Controller/Request tab to inspect the path information. (Disclaimer: I own the company that sells the Commerce Bug extension)
You could also turn off URL rewrites in Magento and Magento will generate “not pretty” URLs.
