TOPIC: -2 -3 etc and SWMenuFree

-2 -3 etc and SWMenuFree 13 years, 10 months ago #19464

I am using JoomSef (paid order #14716 ) version 3.7.6 with Kunena and swMenuFree extensions. I am getting a numer of pages generated ending with the -2, -3, -4, etc. I think its related to the swMenuFree extension but can't be sure. I've used the FAQ on this and have played with the variables. The only way the top level menu items route to the correct pages is by having Exclude Source Info, Reappend Source Info, and Ignore Multiple Sources all set to No.

There doesn't appear to be an SEF extension for swMenuFree but I have it set to Default Joomla Router (though I have tested all the other options too). Can you provide guidance on how to solve or direct me to a plug in?

Also, is there another menu that is compatable that would be preferred?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Additional Details added: I just found that Kunena is also creating -2 etc pages for profiles, posts, etc. so and I've finally been able to get the menu working properly pointing to a standard set of pages. I've been editing the SEF urls to point to a consistent page url though that is creating duplicates with different sources/itemid's. I'm not yet sure if doing that for all my pages (500+) will solve the problem but I'm hoping for a response before I get that far!

Hello,

What version of Kunena and Kunena JoomSEF extension do you use? Also please post some examples of the numbered SEF URLs with their corresponding Real URLs, so we can identify the variables that's causing it. You can find the Real URLs using the JoomSEF's URLs Manager.

Best regards,

I am using Kunena 1.6.2.

Here's some url examples:
Real: index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=69 SEF: coaching-community-2
Real: index.php?option=com_kunena&defaultmenu=127&view=entrypage&Itemid=125 SEF: coaching-community-3
Real: index.php?option=com_kunena&func=post&Itemid=142 SEF forum/post-2
Real: index.php?option=com_kunena&func=profile&userid=66&Itemid=148 SEF:forum/profile/christaaay-2

Also, I've begun going through and changing the SEF url's to the consistent url it should point to (ie. removing the -2) so now I have numerous entries with the same SEF urls. What is the best way to consolidate down to one SEF url for each page?

Re: -2 -3 etc and SWMenuFree 13 years, 10 months ago #19727

I have finally finished removing all of the -2 -3 etc. from my site. I'm now left with numerous real links feeding to the same SEF link. I have been going through using the alias tab to insert the real link onto one url and deleting the others but am finding that its not working and the previously deleted real urls are being recreated.

Here are some examples:
31 135 legalese/terms-of-service index.php?option=com_content&catid=41&id=78&view=article&Itemid=1
32 0 legalese/terms-of-service index.php?option=com_content&catid=41&id=78&view=article&Itemid=100
33 0 legalese/terms-of-service index.php?option=com_content&catid=41&id=78&view=article&Itemid=83
34 0 legalese/terms-of-service index.php?option=com_content&catid=41&id=78&view=article&Itemid=79

All of the links are in the alias tab on the first item and were deleted only minutes ago and have already reappeared. Why is this happening? What can I do?

Also, I want to start pushing my sitemap out to search engine's but am nervous to do so before I get this fixed. How will the duplicates display if I don't have them indexed? What would the impact to SEO/PR be?

I appreciate any help you can provide!
