 * Hi there.
 * I have created a custom post type for “products” and a custom page template to
   pull in and loop through the custom post types (page-products.php) – however –
   when viewing the custom post types I would like the url to be different from 
   the following:
 * [http://www.blogname.com/products/productname](http://www.blogname.com/products/productname)
 * e.g – I do NOT want the /products/ part in the url, instead I would like it to
   be replaced with something else…… ideally… a value from the individual product
   post custom field
 * my IDEAL situation would be to have the following, however my knowledge of php
   and url rewrites is a little on the “shy” side shall we say, and therefore desperately
   need your help.
 * option 1:
    to explictly set the full url (from the root domain) against each 
   post type, maybe using a custom field?
 * option 2:
    using an already existing custom field to adjust the url accordingly,
   for example the final url I would like to see is:
 * [http://www.blogname.com/brandname/productname](http://www.blogname.com/brandname/productname)
 * brandname = custom field
    productname = title of custom post type (this isnt 
   where the problem is)
 * it doesnt really matter how this is performed or by which method (even using .
   htaccess) – it just needs to be done 🙂
 * I REALLY NEED SOME GUIDANCE OR HELP ON THIS. ANY ADVICE OR TIPS VERY WELCOME
