I am using Joomla 2.5 and Sobipro. So when i visit an added entry, the url is mywebsite.com/menuitem/entryid-entryname and i want it to be mywebsite.com/entryname without the entry id and without the menuitem name. Is that somehow achievable?

  • Thank you for the quick reply Mohsenr1. I installed it and it works just fine. But do you know if i can somehow make the urls automatically? Because just think that clients are adding entries all the time and in different categories, so if a new entry is being added, i have to change manually the url of the specific entry in every category. – kostas sk Jan 16 '13 at 13:49
  • The answer is no, it depends on Joomla engine and mod_rewrite in Apache, but if you know how to change rewrite rules in .htaccess file, you may can do it. I can't help with that I'm sorry. The only thing that I can say now, is to migrate to Drupal, if you want automatically have the kind of urls you've mentioned. – Mohsen Rabieai Jan 17 '13 at 06:27
