Abantecart 1.2.5 all extensions problem

[natdroid]

Hello, AbanteCart team. 
Recently we had a customer write in broken extensions with 1.2.5
In what universe product urls from shopping cart differ from standard url? 
Why http://localhost/index.php?rt=product/product&product_id=116 reverted to http://localhost/index.php?rt=product/product&key=116:c02e4b65f5afd23e0c568d04b9c85ef5  (SEO 2.0?)
All extensions broken and how to get prod.ids? we're tired of update the code because of 'unnecessary mini changes every month

I suggest that you set this code at the beginning of the function

Code: [Select]

$that = $this->baseObject;
And reference $that->request->....

This way, code looks shorter and you can distinct local scope from core scope
