TOPIC: Sef-alias and SEO friendly URL

Sef-alias and SEO friendly URL 26 Nov 2012 08:30 #5639

Hi there,

Is there a way to get SEO friendly URL's.

My items now show up as www.exapmle.com/?Itemid=138, but is it possible to get it like this: www.exapmle.com/my-category/my-item and also for the breadcrumbs?

My version of Joomla is 2.5.8 and i'm using V2.0 beta to build the component.

Hope to here from you soon,

Kind regards,
Mario

You "get" SEO-friendly URLs by linking to the format you want in the href="" part of the links on the pages of your site, and then rewriting the request after that link is clicked.

Does the rest of your site already use those types of URLs, and if so, which extension have you installed (if any) to enable that
Online since 1996.

Hi g1smd,

Thanx for the reply,

What I ment was using the title alias instead of the items ID for the URL.

The rest of my site is using the normal URL rewriting from the SEO settings in Global configuration, and have set "RewriteEngine On" in the htaccess file.

You need to look into the router.php of your component. All routing is handled there.

Also, these links may help:
