*** THIS MODIFICATION REQUIRES THAT VQMOD IS INSTALLED ***

Remember - you will need vQmod v2.1.7 if you have Opencart 1.5.4 or later installed

vQmod is available free from: http://code.google.com/p/vqmod/

*** THIS MODIFICATION REQUIRES THAT VQMOD IS INSTALLED ***



1. Extract all the files from the zip file.
2. Upload the contents of the "upload" folder to your opencart root directory (nothing is overwritten - it's all new files).
3. Delete all the files from the folder http://www.yourstore.com/vqmod/vqcache (don't worry, they will be regenerated when you start opencart!).
4. Finally, you need to create the permissions. From the admin menu, click "System | Users | User Groups". Then click "edit" (Top Administrator) and make sure the "catalog/auto_seo" boxes are checked in Access and Modify. Save your settings and you're good to go!

In Use
---------

The default SEO Keyword for products is "Product Name". To change this to "Product Name"-"Model", from the admin control panel, click on "System > Settings", and select (edit) your store. Click the "Option" tab, scroll down to "AUTO SEO" and click "yes". Don't forget to Save!

If you want to generate keywords for existing products, from the admin control panel, click "Catalog > Regenerate SEO URL's"
