#981 – Articel ID

Hi

Use the Extensions configuration section for Joomla:


You'll find there a "Insert article id" option, and also a setting to decide on which categories you want to insert the id.
You'll need to delete the old URLs, or Purge to have new ones recreated.

Hi

We don't have such settings I'm afraid. Usually , users want to get rid of these Id, not add them, but I understand your problem if you have URLs indexed. The auto-redirect (of the 404 error page) feature will probably work very well in your case, but it's still a redirect, so not as good as havinx the exact same URL.

It's something I could add though, but it'll require probably a few days, if you can test the dev version?

Hi

Too bad for the test.

You don't have to setup any 301. This is a buitl in feature of the 404 page: if it finds similar URLs, it can redirect to them. You need to try it on your site to see if it works fine.

You can enable this in the sh404SFE configuration. See this page of documentation, this is the first setting on that page.

Hi

Yes, we're trying to find the best match but there's no guarantee for that, we can't always find the right one.

If that doesn't work enough for you, you have to manually setup the redirects.

Please note that if you manually setup up redirects, I would suggest that you also remove the id in the article, the URLs dont't need that,
