What's metal and cardboard?
is products's Alias ?
if alias then query with alias (not with ID)

i'm not understanding where the url is being generated from i think is what my major problem is. Do i need to change something in the database or some php code? if the code, then where? in the product.php controller?
in products.php i have this to start
class Products extends Controller{
//constructor
function Products(){
parent::Controller();
blah blah blah
do i need another function like
function boxes()
{
all my boxes stuff;
}
am i headed in the right direction?

@metaprinter
If u want to change this url "http://www.example.com/user/products/ContainersCat/1" to like this... "http://www.example.com/user/products/boxes/metal"
then u've to check... from where & how those parameters(ContainersCat & 1)are generating. Accordingly after that u can replace those parameters by new one(boxes/metal)...
