hello there, we are evaluating all 3 main sef components for joomla. so far we use test-versions, and only yours can handle "category in url" as we need it (because of the brilliant option to exclude a category manually). unfortunately we cannot find how to add the menu-alias in the url. we bought a full version of sh404, having the same problem with menu-alias... support there is sh...ty ... so, before buying your component we really need to know if it can do what we need. here an example:

MENU-TITLE= My first Menu
MENU-ALIAS= my-first-menu

pointing to the article:
ARTICLE-TITLE= My first Menu Article
ARTICLE-ALIAS= my-first-menu-article

this article is inside the category:
CATEGORY-TITLE= My first Menu Category
ARTICLE-ALIAS= my-first-menu-category

the url should be:
www.name.tld/my-first-menu-category/my-first-menu

how can i achieve this?

best regards!

Hello,

Unfortunately this is not currently possible with JoomSEF.
The order of individual URL parts is menu/category/article with options to remove menu and/or category, so you can achieve only following URL structures:

www.name.tld/my-first-menu/my-first-menu...y-first-menu-article
www.name.tld/my-first-menu/my-first-menu-article
www.name.tld/my-first-menu-category/my-first-menu-article
www.name.tld/my-first-menu-article

But if you're interested we can customize JoomSEF for you to add menu part to the end of the URL as a paid service. Such customization would require 1 hour of our support time: www.artio.net/e-shop/support-services/joomla-related-support-1h
