Magento – How to Export Category URLS

categoryexportimportexportmagento-1.9url

I have started to change over all my product URL from my old website to my new so we do not lose any google ratings, however i can't see any option to export category urls, only products or customers?

What i am trying to do is export a CSV which contain my categories and all of their URLs like you can do with the products, as i need to change the URLs to match our old website as we do not want to lose our google ratings. Then once I have changed them in the CSV file then i need to import the file again.

I have checked the export system in Magento but can only find a way of exporting customer or products.

So there are a few things that you can to get your results with a variety of effort levels. As I see it the two "real" solutions here would be.

  1. Build your own category export/import system,
  2. Import old pages and create url redirects for them,

Firstly a quick touch on point 1. You can always use something like FastSimpleImport or any other third party import system to build your own import/export for categories.

From my opinion this is the wrong way to go about it. I would consider creating the url redirects inside Magento this can be done via the admin, which could be a long job, or your could create a stand-a-lone script or module set-up script to do this for you.

For this your would simply need a mapping from old to new, loop through this mapping and create your rewrites.

Sure both solutions require coding but for me the second option might seem a bit "easier".
