Hey I'm getting this error thats driving me mad when trying to use the SEF404 component: Site error: the file /home/nextaffi/public_html/devbasu/administrator/components/com_sef/admin.sef.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_5.1.so to be installed by the site administrator. Can you help me out please?

 

Can any one recommend me a joomla module which allows creation of url aliases like drupal path module,

 

The stable version of Joomla 1.5 was just released. It has nearly the same functionality as Drupal path built-in to the core if you enable SEF friendly URLs.

 

Ohh, I have already installed 1.5 for testing purpose, and SEF urls are enabled, I think I need to find out how to generate URL aliases.

Can you tell me how to create url aliases eg /articles/the_first_article.html

thnx

 

@dailymoolahdotcom, did you has advanced sef? because the calls the ioncube for the encrypion of the component.
If so, you really need to uninstall it first before going with sh404SEF.

@daringtakers, url alias in Joomla 1.5 are build from the title alias.
if you put in the url you want there, make sure you use - hypens between the words, otherwise you get %20% for the spaces on unix hosting.

 

Joomla has the tools to make it more SEO friendly, but one of the reasons I don't like using it is the code is so bloated. Divs all over hell. Looks like a bad tables layout that was regurgitated with divs. I don't know if 1.5 is any better than 1.0, but I'm hoping it is.

 

Artio JoomSEF slaps hidden advertisement links on your pages. Kanga has a modified version of JoomSEF that does away with that. I think JoomSEF is the best option once the paid links are gotten rid of.

As far as SEO and Joomla! go, it can't be all that bad. I get first pages serps on Google for almost every article I write on my Joomla! site.

 

Ditto, one useful extension.

 

if i have Joomla 1.0.12 Stable version, will sh404SEF work on it ? I have downloaded sh404SEF and i see it has loads of file, so sh404SEF is actually a joomla update right ? With more SEO friendly files in it ?
Can i get any errors while overwriting my old files on 1.0.12 version ?

 

sh404SEF works great on 1.0.12
