My joomla site url is: http://www.cessnatrader.com. I am using SEF URL for this site. The SEF URL is not working in the main menu(in top). But it is working fine for other places(other links, footer menu). I don't know what the problem is. I did all the things for enabling SEF URL in joomla. But it is not working in one place(main menu). What should I do?
Note: I am using "Mosets tree" component in this site.
Try removing all of your menu items and then add them again. One thing I've noticed when implementing SEF URLs in Joomla was that any link I created before I turned on SEF wouldn't be converted. Delete and rebuild the link from scratch.

I have a Joomla 2.5 website and I've added a Wordpress blog to it:
htdocs is the joomla site
htdocs/blog is the wordpress blog
I've tried to set up a menu item to point to the blog by setting it up as an external URL:
www.domain.com/blog
However, Joomla keeps throwing an error:
Save failed with the following error: A first level menu item alias cannot be 'our-blog' because 'our-blog' is a sub-folder of your joomla installation folder.
I can't get it to work without hacking the database or the core code. Is there a simple solution that I'm missing?
Have you triple checked that you are indeed selecting the External URL link and not the Menu Item Alias, and that for the URL you are using http://www.domain.com/blog ? .
Also, if you have other menu items pointing to this same blog link, delete them and clear your menu trash.
Good luck!
I would like to convert my existing website to Joomla. However, I need finer control over URLs than I seem to be able to control with Joomla. Assuming that Joomla is installed in the base public_html directory of my user, I would like these pages to keep their URLs:
http://dotancohen.com/howto/rtl_right_to_left.html
http://dotancohen.com/eng/genealogy.php
http://dotancohen.com/heb/contact_info.html
I am aware that I could use a 301 redirect via .htaccess however I would prefer to actually configure the canonical URL of the page. Is this possible in Joomla or with an extension?
Unquestionably, the defacto standard extension is At http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-management/sef/10134. It's highly configurable, well supported, and ver well rated.
In Joomla! 2.5 you can use the built-in Redirect component to catch old URLs and send them to the right content without fiddling with the .htaccess.
You can also create menu's and menu items that will match the old paths then all you need is to place the content of your .html files into suitable articles. Remember you can create a menu (and thus a path to the content) but not display the menu anywhere on the site.
The genealogy.php appears to be a separate application so you can approach that by doing two things, first have a /eng/ directory on your new website with the genealogy.php application in it that way it will have the same URL. Then if you want to create a menu item in a Joomla! menu then you can link to it using a menu item of type 'External Link' - you can read more about the menu types by clicking on the help button in the toolbar.
[EDIT]
For external pages if you want to wrap the external application in your template use a menu item type of Iframe Wrapper this will place them in the main component area of the template. With a good Joomla! 2.5 template you can use a template style specific (i.e. layout settings) for that page.
I've used Wayfinder in my template, eg:
[[Wayfinder? &startId=`8` ]]
and it was working fine until I turned on friendly urls (by going: System>>System Settings>>User Friendly URLS)
Now none of my links work. On top of this if I click the 'View' button from a resource page or enter the full url into a browser I get a 404 error.
Am I missing something in this process?
(ps Im using Revo 2.1.3)
Have you configured your .htaccess file? It's required for friendly urls. When you install MODX it's named ht.access, so you'll need to rename it to .htaccess.
If you've installed MODX in a subfolder you'll also need to set it here:
RewriteBase /folder-name
As Sean suggested, you'll also need to clear your cache to have your Wayfinder menu rebuilt.
it's probably your cache - just clear it and you should be fine.
In my current site I have a link in the header section for skype, Gtalk, MSN chat, by clicking on the link the chat application get launched.
The problem is that, the link uses a href tag. and by doing this the SEO process is facing problem as there is some duplicate url have been created. In SEO process if different URLs have the same content the process not works.
Any suggestion from coming out from this problem.
One simple way to remedy this is add this adding a element with the attribute rel="canonical" to the section of the non-canonical version of the page.

make them js url (with the js function in an external script)
My Joomla 1.5.18 site, I enabled login, when I click login the page I get sent to is NOT styled with CSS. If I login it redirects to the home page and it is not styled anymore either.
It looks like it is recursively appending stuff to the URL incorrectly.
http://www.myjoomlasite.org/index.php/index.php/login
if I click on home page or login links it keeps putting more and more index.php entries in the URL, and sometimes on the end. The following is what I get when I try and go to a JEvents menu item.

Anyone have any idea why this is happening? I don't know what to search for on Google apparently, and none of the Joomla! books I have address this.
I figured it out I had turned on Search Engine Friendly URLs in SEO Settings under Global Configuration. Turning this back off fixed the problem. Now I guess another question will be along the lines on how to get the Search Engine Friendly URL's to work again.
Make sure you link to stylesheets and images using a link that starts with a leading slash and therefore counts from the root.
It is the browser that evaluates the URL for those resources, based on the URL of the currently viewed HTML page. Never use relative links for these resources.
