Add "#" character to links from Layered Navigation Block

Question

The problem

I have the following URL's in google webmaster tools:

http://www.mydomain.com/product-category/attribute_name-value-attribute_name-value

I need to write a rule in .htaccess that puts the # in my URLs, because the blocklayered module only filters with # in the link, like this:

http://www.mydomain.com/product-category#/attribute_name-value-attribute_name-value

The reason

I need this because in webmaster tools there are lots of error 404's from links without #.

Notes

I have friendly URL's activated in my prestashop backoffice.

Prestashop version 1.5.6.1 .

Server: shared hosting with apache.

PS:

Basicly I need to write a rule to redirect all my links without # to the same links with # after the category.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Redirect them from the url with # to the url without #

RewriteRule ^(.+)\/(.*)$ $1#/$2 [R=301, L]

Or if you want to allow only specific characters

RewriteRule ^([\w\-]+)\/(.*)$ $1#/$2 [R=301, L]

Its not tested, but it should give you the idea.
