Hi all,

New to JoomSEF (moving many sites over from sh404SEF which I have been using for many years), and must say mighty impressed so far.

My question is what is the best/correct procedure when managing 2 non-urls pointing to the same page - due to menu link and category drill-down link.

eg:
index.php?option=com_hikashop&layout=listing&view=category&Itemid=265
index.php?option=com_hikashop&cid=32&ctrl=category&name=rare-earth-magnets-neodymium&task=listing&Itemid=264

For these I want to create a custom URL (...rare-earth-magnets-neodymium).

Working/testing site: magnetec.com.au/joom3

On the previous component I used, renaming/customising 2+ URLs to the same SEF URL would create/display as one URL in the backend (with indication that there was a duplicate non-sef url.

I notice in JoomSEF it displays the two separate SEF-URL's.

Am I doing this right or is there a better way to manage these in JoomSEF?

Found it..

List URLS by Duplicates then assign 'Active' to the one that is to be used.

Hi,

You've used the correct approach.
We also plan to change this so there will be only one SEF URL with multiple non-SEF URLs displayed in the list, so it will be more intuitive in some future version.

Thanks dajo.
