Is it possible to personalise the directory URL? The dafault URL is wwwymysite/index.php?option=com_jbusinessdirectory. Is it possible to change the "jbusinessdirectory" element of the URL?
I have looked in the directory module itself and it doesn't appear possible to change the alias "jbusinessdirectory".
Could anybody advise?
Hi,
Yes, it is possible to change the URL. You can create a menu item of type Business Listings and set the menu item id on the search module settings.
For business listing items URL and other directory items you can set SEO to yes on general settings.
Hi George,
Thank you for your guidance, however I am still unable personalise the URL. I have taken the follwoing steps.
I have navigated to Control Panel/Business Listings/General Settings/SEO and made the following configurations:
Enable SEO: Yes
Menu Item ID: My Site
Business URL Type: Simple
Category URL Type: Simple
Add Item alias on URL: No
Add id in URL: No
I have created a menu item called "Home" alias is also called "Home"
Menu Item Type: Page
Select Page: Home
the url is still reading mysite/index.php?option=com_jbusinessdirectory
Could you advise me further on where I am going wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, Could anybody assist any further based on my above reply?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
You have to activate Joomlan SEF on Joomla general configuration.
After that please create a menu item of type Business Listings and set the menu item id on search module and also on general setting on directory extension.
The URL should get the alias from the menu item.
