Product Links for Configured Products

[jgreen2014]

When I load a configurable product link from magento into a browser the product is not found. How can I fix this?

Dear @jgreen2014,

You should check qty, status on child products of configurable product. If you can provide some screenshots on tab: General, Inventory, Website, Categories and Associated Product of configurable product and it's child products, we will more easy to help you find cause for this bug.

Here's what I have found. In many configured products the url_key is the product name for all products. The the product url path appends a number. For those I can use the key to display the configured product.

Most times the url key is the category path and then the product path has a number appended.

I could solve this problem if Magento always assigned the product name as the url_key for configured products.

Do I need to update all the products and include the url_key in the update? Or some other method without php coding?
