INSTALLATION

COMPOSER INSTALLATION

• run composer command:

$> composer require olegkoval/magento2-regenerate-url-rewrites

MANUAL INSTALLATION

• extract files from an archive

• deploy files into Magento2 folder app/code/OlegKoval/RegenerateUrlRewrites

ENABLE EXTENSION

• enable extension (use Magento 2 command line interface *):

$> php bin/magento module:enable OlegKoval_RegenerateUrlRewrites

• to make sure that the enabled module is properly registered, run 'setup:upgrade':

$> php bin/magento setup:upgrade

• [if needed] re-compile code and re-deploy static view files:

$> php bin/magento setup:di:compile
$> php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

HOW TO USE IT:

• to regenerate Url Rewrites of all products in all stores (only products) set entity type to "product":

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --entity-type=product

because product entity type is default — you can skip it:

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate

• to regenerate, Url Rewrites in the specific store view (e.g.: store view id is "2") use option --store-id:

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --store-id=2

• to regenerate Url Rewrites of some specific product, then use option product-id (e.g.: product ID is "122"):

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --entity-type=product --product-id=122

or

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --product-id=122

• to regenerate Url Rewrites of specific products range then use option products-range (e.g.: regenerate for all products with ID between "101" and "152"):

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --entity-type=product --products-range=101-152

* if in the range you have a gap of ID's (in range 101-152 products with ID's 110, 124, 150 not exists) — do not worry, a script handles this.

or

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --products-range=101-152

• to save a current Url Rewrites (you want to get a new URL rewites and save current) use option --save-old-urls:

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --save-old-urls

• to prevent regeneration of "url_key" values (use current "url_key" values) use option --no-regen-url-key:

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --no-regen-url-key

• if you do not want to run a full reindex at the end of Url Rewrites generation then use option --no-reindex:

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --no-reindex

• if you do not want to run cache:clean at the end of Url Rewrites generation then use option --no-cache-clean:

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --no-cache-clean

• if you do not want to run cache:flush at the end of Url Rewrites generation then use option --no-cache-flush:

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --no-cache-flush

• if you do not want to display a progress bar in the console then use option --no-progress:

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --no-progress

REGENERATE URL REWRITES OF CATEGORY

• to regenerate Url Rewrites of all categories in all stores, set an entity type to "category":

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --entity-type=category

• to regenerate Url Rewrites of some specific category, then use option category-id (e.g.: category ID is "15"):

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --entity-type=category --category-id=15

• to regenerate Url Rewrites of specific categories range then use option categories-range (e.g.: regenerate for all categories with ID between "4" and "12"):

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --entity-type=category --categories-range=4-12

* if in the range you have a gap of ID's (in range 4-12 category with ID "6" not exists) — do not worry, a script handles this.

** If you use options --category-id or --categories-range then you can skip option --entity-type=category - extension will understand that you want to use a category entity.

YOU CAN COMBINE OPTIONS

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --store-id=2 --save-old-urls --no-regen-url-key --no-reindex

YOU CANNOT COMBINE THESE OPTIONS

• --entity-type=product and --category-id/--categories-range
• --entity-type=category and --product-id/--products-range
• --category-id and/or --categories-range and/or --product-id and/or --products-range

DEPRECATED OPTIONS

• --check-use-category-in-product-url — extension uses a built-in Magento Url Rewrites generator which check this option in any way.

EXAMPLES OF USAGE

• Regenerate Url Rewrites for product with ID "38" in store with ID "3":

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --entity-type=product --store-id=3 --product-id=38

or

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --store-id=3 --product-id=38

• Regenerate Url Rewrites for products with ID's 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 in store with ID "2" and do not run full reindex at the end of process:

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --entity-type=product --store-id=2 --products-range=5-12 --no-reindex

• Regenerate Url Rewrites for category with ID "22" in all stores and save current Url Rewrites:

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --entity-type=category --category-id=22 --save-old-urls

• Regenerate Url Rewrites for categories with ID's 21,22,23,24,25 in store with ID "2":

$> php bin/magento ok:urlrewrites:regenerate --entity-type=category --categories-range=21-25 --store-id=2

Enjoy!
