This modification may not function properly if you have selected “Use FTP generated PHP pages (If all other methods fail)” as the URL Build Option in your CubeCart settings.

If you are using CubeCart version 4 there is a fairly good chance you are making use of the search engine friendly URL features. This will replace a “dirty”, query laced URL with a much cleaner search engine and user friendly URL modeled off of traditional static page URLs.
