Title: SEF URL
Post by: wolfspyryt on 28.03.2015 22:20:59
URL's get lengthy and confusing. First level is perfect... when viewing a file, the URL has far too much.

http://watchawear.com/watches/watch-hands/download/4-watch-hands/154-spring-loaded-hour-hand.html

  should be:

http://watchawear.com/watches/watch-hands/154-spring-loaded-hour-hand.html

Hi,
The first url is the standard Joomla! Sef one.  If you would like a shorter one then the free plugin DirectAlias  is my favourite.

Thanks Colin. I will look into that. Thank you for always helping.

With Direct Alias what happens now is it shortens the URL for the category view, It does nothing to the individual view, it stays like my previous post. I would like to remove the "download/4-watch-faces/" section from the URL.

Hmm! That's a shame.  Because jDownloads uses the default Joomla!  sccheme there is no quick solution. Will have to ponder and get Arno's view as it could be a siginificant amount of work.
Will move this thread to Suggestions.
