ARGOMENTO: Replace "/component/content/article/" in URLs
Replace "/component/content/article/" in URLs 14 Anni, 2 Mesi fa #1454

Hi, firstly I have only been testing this plugin for the past few minutes and would like to thank the developer for making it freely available
 .At the moment I am using another plugin "AutoReadMore" and one of its features is that it places a linkable image thumbnail to the left of "read more" text. The problem I am facing is that links to articles on my site are in this form (for example when the article's title is clicked): http://example.com/sectionname/categoryid-category-categoryname/articleid-articlename.htmlhttp://example.com/news/1-latest-news/47-hello.htmlHowever, the link assigned by the "AutoReadMore" plugin to the "read more" text thumbnail takes the following form: http://example.com/component/content/article/articleid-articlename.htmlhttp://example.com/component/content/article/47-hello.htmlThis means that there are two different links to the same article within the same "read more" text. This is not only undesirable for SEO but can also be confusing to users if they wish to link to the article. What I would like is to have one format for article links. Is it possible therefore to configure RedJ to redirect all requests to: http://example.com/component/content/article/articleid-articlename.htmlhttp://example.com/sectionname/categoryid-category-categoryname/articleid-articlename.htmlThanks |

Hi admin thanks for the quick response. "AutoReadMore" uses the following method for creating links attached to the thumbnail. The "read more" text-based link is fine, the problem is only with the thumbnail-based link for some odd reason. Here is code snippet which makes the thumbnail linkable:
$matches[$thumbnail] = "<a href='" . JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_content&id={$article->slug}") . "'>{$matches[$thumbnail]}</a>";On another note, you probably miss-understood my post a bit. I don't want to change the URL but only wish to redirect it. I was looking at some examples in the RedJ documentation and here on this forum and I got the impression that RedJ was able to do string replacement when redirecting URLs with the use of macros. That is what I was hoping to achieve .P.S. the following redirect From URL: /component/content/article/47-hello.html To URL: http://{siteurl}/news/1-latest-news/47-welcome.html works fine in RedJ. I just want to do this for all URLs in these formats as group (using macros maybe or even natively via ".htaccess" Rewrite Rules) instead of creating individual items in RedJ. Cheers |

Hi Luigi thanks once again for the quick and helpful response. I was typing my second post when your second reply was posted. Actually, I was getting an error (500 - View not found [name, type, prefix]: 47welcome,html,contentView) with the original code which created the linkable thumbnail so I changed it as follows:
$matches[$thumbnail] = "<a href='" . JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id={$article->slug}") . "'>{$matches[$thumbnail]}</a>";Upon inspection, I can see that the code you provided looks much more promising since it contains all the relevant variables . I'll try it out to and report back. |

Hi Luigi thanks for another quick and helpful response and especially for the explanation on RedJ's "dynamic destination" feature. I did not quite understand how it works from reading the documentation and looking through the examples here. As suck I was not quite clear on what it could and could not do
.With regard to the thumbnail links, thanks to you, I have some very good news: I modified the code that I was using: $matches[$thumbnail] = "<a href='" . JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id={$article->slug}") . "'>{$matches[$thumbnail]}</a>";$matches[$thumbnail] = "<a href='" . JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($article->slug, $article->catslug, $article->sectionid)) . "'>{$matches[$thumbnail]}</a>";I spent quite some time researching Joomla!'s method for generating article links after I noticed that my "AutoReadmore" thumbnail links were resulting in "500" errors. I could find nothing better than the code submitted above. Anyway as has been shown, it was not quite the best. So massive thanks once again for providing the correct code . Cheers |

Thanks for the help but actually I am not using RedJ at the moment since the "AutoReadMore" plugin URL issue was solved by the above code modification
.On another note, how difficult will it be to hack Joomla!'s core code to rewrite URLs from: http://example.com/sectionname/categoryid-category-categoryname/articleid-articlename.htmlhttp://example.com/articleid-articlename.htmlhttp://example.com/47-hello.html.Cheers |

To do what you want maybe it's better to use Drupal
