Hi guys,

I've been struggling with this several times now and I really hope you can help me out:
I'm using a component on our site that uses tables within the Joomla DB to generate content.
There are over 22.000 items so imagine managing/updating this with Joomla...

The problem is with the url generation, the extension has two views, catalog and article.
Catalog can be compared to category/blog view and article to item view.

The catalog's urls look like
/en/chiptuning

An item looks like:
/en/chiptuning/article/1-audi-a4-2-0-tfsi-b8-cdnc-xxxx-2008

We would like to have /article removed from the url to make it look cleaner:
/en/chiptuning/1-audi-a4-2-0-tfsi-b8-cdnc-xxxx-2008
(1- can stay to prevent problems with duplicate urls)

I was hoping to get this fixed with/by SH404sef, is this possible?
Of course I've tried in .htaccess but I haven't found the solution yet.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi

Do your component have a router.php file for Joomla routing? this is where the URL construction is decided upon. It should have been included in the creation of that custom component and what you need to modify to include or not the /article/ bit.

ALternatively, you can also write a similar plugin specific to sh404SEF, but just fixing your router.php should be enough.

Thank you for giving directions, the component does indeed have it's own router.php.
I'm not sure how to modify it but this is a start.

Have a nice day!

Hi

Yes, as "article" looks like a fixed strings, it should be easy to locate it in router.php where it's inserted and comment it out.

Remember to purge sh404SEF URLs after each change to router.php is made, to have new URLs recreated.
