OK, not used this component for some time and I can't for the life of me figure out why it's constructing the url's it is currently.

I have an article called smartpayables.php, the category structure of that part of the site is:

- Home
- smartSolutions - top level category
---- smartPayables - 2nd level category + this is where the article sits
---- smartFiling
---- smartOutput
etc etc

The url structure I am getting when using all categories is:
domain.com/smartpayables/smartsolutions/smartpayables/smartpayables.php

The url structure I am getting when using only last category is:
domain.com/smartpayables/smartsolutions/smartpayables/smartpayables.php

The url structure I am getting when using no categories is:
domain.com/smartpayables/smartpayables.php

In all instances, I am getting categories in the url that shouldn't be there and I can't figure out how to configure this.

How do I set it so that I end up with:

domain.com/smartsolutions/smartpayables.php

Any ideas?

PHP - latest, Joomla - latest 2.5, JoomSEF - latest

Hi,

First you need to disable the "Add menu title" option in Content extension parameters (on Manage Extensions page in JoomSEF) on the Common tab, so the first "smartpayables" part is not present in the URL.

Then because you want only the top level category in URL, which cannot be set in JoomSEF directly, you need to set "All categories" to be present in URLs and then set the second level categories to be excluded, so set the smartPayables, smartFiling and smartOutput categories to "Exclude categories from article links" field in Content extension parameters.

You should get the URLs you want with this setting.

Thank you . . . we'll give it a try :)

That worked, thanks very much! :)
