Magento get formatted product URL

Question

I'm trying to get the formatting product url from a Magento product collection.

So I want https://www.myshop.co.uk/red-bouncy-ball.html

Specifically the red-bouncy-ball part.

I've tried this method:

$categoryId = $product->getCategoryIds();
$url = $product->setCategoryId($categoryId)->getProductUrl();

Which gives me:

https://www.myshop.co.uk/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/100/

and just

$product->getProductUrl()

which does the same.

Answer 1

Are you simply looking for the 'red-bouncy-ball' part of the url?

If so then...

$product->getData('url_key');

When initialising your collection you will need to add the url_key to the select statement...

addAttributeToSelect('url_key')
