Remove Menu Item Alias and Category Alias from single article url

Hi and thanks for reading my problem.

I need to remove from single article view URL path, the Menu item Alias and Category Alias.

I needed to be like that www.joomlasite.com/id-article-alias

I don't know how, but is allready working like i want for 1 menu item articles. check these articles here in this menu item http://www.techvalue.net/parousiaseis . Looks like it's a bug.

Anyway, just need to remove All alias from signle article view URLs except article alias.

I am using joomla 3.2.3 Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Standard Joomla SEF always follows its standards and includes as much menu items as you have. For example, article Test Article in category Test Category, which have a menu link Test Article Menu, will have a SEF link like this:

    yoursite.com/test-article-menu

    If you add menu item for category, link will look like this:

    yoursite.com/test-cateory-menu/test-article-menu

    Not, that only menu items aliases count in this case, not article/category aliases.

    If you want more flexibility, you should use 3rd party SEO extensions like sh404SEF or JoomSEF. Or you may write your own router, if you have an experience.
