Backup files you change before changing them


Its in Joomla backend admin

site>Templates Manager>Site Templates

check the template your using, usually marked as default, then hit edit html.

I spent a long time trying to figure out how to fix this.
Even though sitemaps generated for goolge tells them the link is Directory/index.html
....they try to spider Directory/
This causes 404's and bad rank.

I thought the 'default index file' in config would take care of that but it doesn't seem to work that way with my install.

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php in the htaccess was not working for me either.

The way I fixed it was to put a custom 301 redirect in with relative paths, that is, ...no http://

Click the View/Edit 301 Urls and adjust it there.

Mine for example was

{Moved from URL}
faq-and-support/

{Moved to URL}
faq-and-support/index.html

I have to comment out the symlink line in my htaccess or I get that error

I had that problem.
Look in the html for your template. If you have one there, and then one is generated, you end up with two.

Thats just it. .... No duplicates

I had a category named yada-etc.

The etc. confused my sitemap program because it ended up looking like:

yada-etc.\article

.\ not good in filename so I renamed the category yada-et-cetra and moved all the articles.

I then purged my sef urls and cleared the cache.

From the get go, 3 articles came up with the -2 filename with no duplicates to be found.

I also tried putting redirects to the new path in my .htaccess so Google wouldn't hit 404's for the urls in their index.

Could that have something to do with it?

I'll take a look at the config, .....having no dupes but ending up with -2 filenames isn't a big deal, just bothers me. Its not like I have duplicate content, or sef urls, but if more files get -2, I'll have to manually check every one to make sure.

No matter what I do I can't seem to get rid of the -2 thats tacked on to some urls. I've purged, cleaned caches, checked for dupe items in menus, etc. Why does it append a -2 and how do I make it go away?

ok

That would be a good idea. I'm not a coder but I saw that there was a section missing compared to the other extensions.


class sefext_com_adsmanager extends sef_joomsef
{

function create($string, &$vars) {

global $sefConfig, $database;

// Use this to get variables from the original Joomla! URL, such as $task, $page, $id, $catID, ...

extract($vars);

$title = array();




I guessed at it but it seems to be working well on my site.

The install extension tool in the backend installs an extension that no longer works with admanager.

I got one working.

To use, copy text, rename to com_adsmanger.php and place in components/com_sef/sef_ext

I had to remove this post because it only posted half the code.
