Displaying category names in page names

[DougN]

Is their any way to display the the category name in the menue bar as part of the page name instead of the Ebay category number? The number in the page name doesn't look that seo friendly.

Thanks,
Doug

Doug,

There's no easy way I have developed to this point.  This is primarily because of the very, very long names hierarchy assigned to most category pages and the need to cross reference all names to a category number.  All calls are based on the category number, not name.  The other side of the problem is that most category names are so long as to be very SEO-unfriendly also. 

The category names are comprised of each category nodes name in the relationship:

root    ->    Antiques     -> Musical Instruments   -> Percussion
                 20081        -> 37974                     -> 37976

While this is a less extreme example (many categories are 6 levels deep) and this example actually lends itself to SEO benefits, the larger portion of categories would results in very long strings in the title bar that would be less than optimal.  If I dropped the hierarchy of names and only used the final category name many pages would be named things like:

1/4
Other
Red

etc.  And there would be a lot of dupes (Other, Red)

I'm always looking at ways to optimize so this challenge may be optimized and solved in the future.

Thanks Bob,

That does sound like it would be complicated to do.
