Custom name for 'category' in URL was created by Tue

Namaste
Thanks so much for the components. It works just great. I appreciate your work.
Have a look at my site www.recipe.vn/video

The link above is a menu "All Video Share » Category Layout". Setup to 'Display all categories' and prder by 'Latest'
My questions:
1. Looks like the <a> tags are coded under javascript. Would this craw-able by search bots?
2. If you go into a category (eg. www.recipe.vn/category/latest/huong-dan-pha-che ) the URL is diffrent from the parent URL

From this link
www.recipe.vn/category/latest/huong-dan-pha-che

Can i change to [site root]/mennu-alias/video-category-slug
www.recipe.vn/video/huong-dan-pha-che

- Replace Cetegory by 'video' and remove 'latest'

The same for the vide player page.
I would like to change the URL from
www.recipe.vn/video/latest/cocktail-cho-...haloween-bloody-mary

to this [site root]/menu-alias/video-category-slug/video-title-slug
www.recipe.vn/video/huong-dan-pha-che/co...haloween-bloody-mary

Thanks a lot

1. Actually we don't use <a> tags in the gallery. The links are generated directly through JavaScript. To be honest, I'm not a SEO guru. So, I didn't cared much about this. Anyhow, I will investigate on this and do the possibilities in future versions. I also appreciate your suggestion in this.

2. Changing the URL structure may lead to lot of additional works & time. But, I'm happy to try this since it matters to SEO. Kindly mail to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Namaste,

Thanks for your quick fast reply.
I am not holding a commercial key in hand until my site has generated traffic. SO I rather do it by myself now.
It would be great if you can show me some hints and I can get myself into the job.
AFter that, I am happy to share.

How does that sond to you?
Thanks
