Matt, Though Im a huge fan of CB, heres really no need for Coldbox, if all you want is the SES URL functionality, plus CW isnt really designed in a way that plays well with frameworks. I had a CartWeaver site set up a few years ago with SES urls. The steps to modify are, basically, as follows:
1) create a unique slug/tag column on all of your categories and products and populate those using the a regex slugification of category/product name. (Youll need to add the form field in the admin for the cats and products as well - or you can auto-create it on save and edit it later) 2) create a tag lookup function for categories and products that pulls the slug, based on the ID 3) call that function from your cat/subcat/production landing pages using an if(isNumeric(id)){ //Look up your tag from the id and redirect here... } and use a 301 redirect to the SES url page - this will allow all of the CW generated links to resolve correctly, or you can replace the id in the url with the slug variable. The above assumes you have mod_rewrite or are using one of the IIS rewrite options. Youll need to create some sort of redirect rules in place to pretty up the extension pages and handle the category->subcategory->product links (name/value pairs work well here), but there are all sorts of examples and tutorials for mod-rewrite, ISAPI rewrite and IIS URL Rewriting out there.
