Hi and thanks for reading&answering my question. I am fairly new to Joomla,however I have built a directory website and started to put some content. I have created the standard pages(contact us, privacy etc) and added businesses. I would like SEO friendly URLs so I set Search Engine Friendly URLs, URL Rewriting --YES, and Suffix --No. However, Joomla somehow rewrites my alies and change them. example: mywebsite/bar-and-dinner is displayed now as my website/bar-din-r. I contacted the support of the plugin I use and they told me that I must have had some filters on Joomla that creates such a problem. I tried to purge cache on the website & server still the same. I just updated to Joomla 4.0. Thanks in advance for your help.

I have built my website using HTML, CSS and JQuery. All pages are .php and everything works the way I want it to. My business is expanding now and I need to add a log in section for my clients where I can manage all of the work I produce (photography).
Because a custom CMS is out of my knowledge of web design I have decided to learn / use Joomla! My question is will I be able to keep my existing website and have a section that is Joomla!? So the main site remains untouched but when a client goes to the login page that page and the CMS area are joomla!
I am on an Apache server and am basically not sure if I can have just part of my site Joomla! Or does it have to be 100% Joomla!?
If I cannot have just part of my the site built in Joomla! Then there is no point in me learning it. I will have to outsource the design of the CMS. Just don't want to waste my time learning Joomla for no reason.
Joomla will happily coexist with your existing website but will likely need to be installed into a folder to avoid same file name conflicts (e.g. index.php).
I am creating a website using Joomla 3 CMS. I have a requirement from my client that i need to change the existing page url extension from .html to .htm. As this website is redesign of a existing website the old links have .htm extension.
Open ../libraries/cms/router/site.php
Go to line number 144
And change
if ($format = $uri->getVar('format', 'html'))
to
if ($format = $uri->getVar('format', 'htm'))
I hope that helps
If you don't want to edit core files, and that is certainly not advised for sake of future upgrades. Your best solution is using a custom component for managing Joomla's SEF URLs, for example: sh404SEF (Paid) or JoomSEF (Free).
Check out http://extensions.joomla.org/category/site-management/sef for others.
Never ever edit Joomla Core files, otherwise when you upgrade Joomla, all your changes will be gone.
As #Alexxandar said; use SEO/SEF components for your needs. I recommend to use MijoSEF (Free or Paid)
Go to global configuration and remove the l from the suffix.
THis is a Joomla configuration question and a standard joomla configuration (not programming) option.
Now the one thing you will have to worry about is that if there are any old links to the htm pages. FOr this you will probably want to use the built in redirect component. Turn on the redirect plugin and then if you have a small number of pages you can just set up the redirection by hand. If you have more pages you may want to write the sql to create a bunch of redirects. Or you might want to make your own plugin to permanently redirect the old to the new.
We are running magento on our site www.xsmoke.com. The site is international, so we are using "/country code" - e.g.www.xsmoke.com/de/ etc.
Now we would like to install wordpress in one of the languages only and we want the URL to be "xsmoke.com/de/blog".
But i can't create a folder on that location for the wordpress files because of magento.. Does anyone have an idea for a workaround?
Thanks.
I'm not sure how you've set things up but it would be possible to do this by using the technique involving directories and symlinks for multiple websites (rather than have Magento include the store codes in the url). See the below answer on how to do that;
https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/13171/multiple-country-specific-stores-on-the-same-domain-show-country-selection-firs#answer-13173
And you'd then just install Wordpress in the /de/blog directory. Otherwise you might be better asking another question tagged with .htaccess and ask for a way to do a rewrite that would handle it in the context of Magento's existing rewrites.
My joomla site is hacked by someone.The hacker change the content of my files and replace their content. I find it and deleted but again and again he is doing this.I changed my ftp and cpanel details.But no use.How to prevent this.Please help me any one
Thanks In Advance
For the moment, at least update to 1.5.26 and after that also install this patch.
Remove any unneeded extensions and also try to make sure that the rest of your extensions are up-to-date as much as possible.
You can also strengthen up your site's security with advanced .htaccess rules and security extensions like admin tools by Akeeba.

I have a weird situation. A client of mine has a website having this kind of URL:
OLD URL: website.com/products/the+product_1.php
Now the new website that we developed has joomla 2.5 and has all content in there... So we have enabled Joomla SEF there. Now the issue is how to map the OLD urls to new Urls.
And the new Joomla 2.5 URL Looks like this:
New URL: website.com/products/digi/category/the_product_1
Now the issue is the search engines have indexed the OLD URLs and client does not want to loose the Page Ranking as you know how it matters.... They have about 18k URLs.
How best I can map the Old URLs to new URLs?
Please help?
Hm, why didn´t you use the Joomla build in redirection manager?
http://docs.joomla.org/Help17:Components_Redirect_Manager
Sure it takes some time to build the links into it, but from my point of view this would be the best way. Then there is no need to develop something and everything can be managed in joomla.
You can also write a script which add links to the SQL DB if needed for this component.
The easiest way would be to create a system plugin that looks for the old product URL pattern and fires a redirect to the new URL. You should also look at this list of new and renamed events as some of them have changed since the plugin documentation was written.
