TOPIC: Create Full SEF URL - not just relative link

Create Full SEF URL - not just relative link 11 years, 9 months ago #36467

is it possible to create full urls in the content and nav links?

instead of:

/something/something/

they would be:

www.mysite.com/something/something

if this is not possible in free version but is possible in pro version, let me know

thanks :-)

Hi,

This is not possible in either version. Joomla itself handles this, so even if JoomSEF generates full URL, Joomla displays it without the domain.

Is there a reason why you want full URLs?

with the partial urls, it's possible to mix https and http, and once you click any https link, the site stays in https for the remainder of the visit

in other words, i've heard that if your homepage for instance is seen by google as both http and https that it somehow reduces the value of either version, that goog may index two versions of your homepage. meaning, it's better to limit https pages to just those that require it but have all other pages remain as http so as not to water down the page value

am i off target?

thanks

For SSL you can set which protocol each menu item should use in Joomla. Open Menu Manager in Joomla and edit each menu item and in its Metadata Options box set Secure option either to On or Off.
