Jommla 3.x - own component - custom seo url

Question

i have a problem with my joomla component seo url building.

i have links like:

$link = JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_expose$view=expose&id='.$result->id );
$link2 = JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_expose$view=search' );

The seo url looks like:

www.domain.com/component/expose/123 www.domain.com/component/search

How can i now make my own alias for the url ? I want somethink like this:

www.domain.com/expose/the-beautiful-page

Without the component and with a title for the id.

by router.php looks like:

function ExposeBuildRoute( &$query )
{
       $segments = array();
       if(isset($query['view']))
       {
                $segments[] = $query['view'];
                unset( $query['view'] );
       }
       if(isset($query['id']))
       {
                $segments[] = $query['id'];
                unset( $query['id'] );
       };
       return $segments;
}

function ExposeParseRoute( $segments )
{       
       $vars = array();
       switch($segments[0])
       {
               case 'search':
                       $vars['view'] = 'search';
                       $id = explode( ':', $segments[1] );
                       $vars['id'] = (int) $id[0];
                       break;
               case 'expose':
                       $vars['view'] = 'expose';
                       $id = explode( ':', $segments[1] );
                       $vars['id'] = (int) $id[0];
                       break;
       }
       return $vars;
}

What must be done, to remove the /component/ alias and replace the id with the right title.

Big thanks.

The problem is that there is no menu item for it to lookup the component. Because of that Joomla needs the component parameter in the url. I think there is no way to remove the component part in the url. Perhaps you should ask in the dev mailing list https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/joomla-dev-general. But I don't think so this is possible.

There is a way to modify the router with a system plugin http://docs.joomla.org/J2.5:Creating_a_System_Plugin_to_augment_JRouter. But I don't think so this would help in your case.
