I am writing to seek help to display custom results in a SEF URL on Joomla CMS.
Example: This is a page with a customized search, https://jobwalkins.in/search.html?search=IT&exf_5=1&exf_4=-1&option=com_jomclassifieds&view=search&Itemid=147
I would like to display this link as https://jobwalkins.in/today-walkins-in-hyderabad.html
I am using https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/jom-classifieds/ as the extensions.
Any helpful inputs will be greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best Regards,
Syed H
I was able to get the desired output using https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/sh404sef/. The website in question https://jobwalkins.in/ now shows the predefined search results in custom URLs.
Here are a few of them which I was able to achieve:
https://jobwalkins.in/jobs-in-bangalore.html where the actual link was https://jobwalkins.in/search.html?search=&exf_5=2&exf_4=-1&option=com_jomclassifieds&view=search&Itemid=147
https://jobwalkins.in/today-walkins-in-hyderabad.html where the actual link was https://jobwalkins.in/search.html?search=&exf_5=1&exf_4=-1&option=com_jomclassifieds&view=search&Itemid=147
It works even for the links where the keywords are searched ex:
I searched for a keyword "fresher" and have set the page to render on custom URL https://jobwalkins.in/fresher-jobs.html where the actual link was https://jobwalkins.in/search.html?search=fresher&exf_5=-1&exf_4=-1&option=com_jomclassifieds&view=search&Itemid=147
The sh404SEF https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/sh404sef/ worked great and helped me address my concern very well.
Hope this post is useful for someone who may have a similar issue.

This may or may not have been answered. Since i've been searching for a correct answer the last few days, i'm afraid not. I'm working on this project in codeigniter (pyrocms) and i'm trying to get clean urls. I already managed to remove /index.php/ from the url. Except the blog module builds the urls from the date the post have been created (www.sitename.com/year/month/post-title. Obviously i want to achieve a url like www.sitename.com/post-title.
I tried routing in the module/blog/config/routes.php but that dind't work out for me as well.
Any help in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Assuming you're using PyroCMS v2x
www.sitename.com/post-title is going to be controlled by your pages controller. It's a special thing the core dev team wrote in.
The blog is a module so www.sitename.com/module_name/... is how you call the module.
You can shorten the URL for the blog by editing the routing control in the blog module.
You could, at best, get away with www.sitename.com/blog/title, but you'll need to rewrite some of the module code and routing to do that. There's no easy way to do it like you might find in wordpress.
I'm really confused.
I just desire to implement ajax in my wordpress site: clicking on each link of the menu or on each post, I'd like to show dinamycally the content in the main wrapper of the website (and at the same time I'd like to see the url changing everytime for each page or post).
I have made a research through Google and I found a multitude of tutorials or informations but each one of them is (for me) like incomplete.
Can you suggest me a good tutorial?
Or can you explain me what are the best solutions?
I read somewhere of "Ajaxify", a plugin, can it help me?
Be patient, I have always had some difficulties with ajax and in wordpress things seems to become even more complex.
I guess this tutorial can help you: http://www.designlunatic.com/2011/06/dynamically-load-wordpress-posts-with-jquery/
I was hoping someone can help me fix an issue. When someone posts a link to my joomla created website, they get the heading "Whats New?", which is my default article page for the site. It is the current blog articles written.
For example, if someone posted my link on facebook, it would look like this:
Whats New?
MyDomain.com
Description of website goes here...
Everything looks great except for the "Whats New?". Is there a way to put My webpage name instead of the name of the default page? How about showing an image? When posted on facebook, there is just text and no image used.
Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated
Facebook uses Opengraph data to build those posts. If facebook isn't offered OpenGraph data, then it will use its own methods to try and find the information it needs. Sometimes with useless results. There are a lot of options to fix this. Joomla extensions has a few opengraph extensions for you to install, some of those should work fine. You can always write something yourself or add the data in your template. But don't expect results right away, because facebook caches those media objects for some time.
Open graph: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
Joomla Extensions: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-management/seo-a-metadata/open-graph
There are more ways to fix this, but this is probably the easiest for you. Hope it helps.
Good Luck.
In the Joomla backend, do the following:
Open the menu item the the article is assigned to.
On the right hand side, open the Page Display Options panel
Add whatever you like to the Browser Page Title parameter.
Hope this helps
I'm using PyroStreams on my PyroCMS-based site, which is working great, but the front-end search functionality it offers is a bit too limiting for my needs.
My stream consists of over 20 fields. On each page of the site I want a simple keyword search box which will search on 3 of the fields in my stream. Currently I'm using the PyroStreams search form for this and it's working great.
But I also want an advanced search page which will build a form based on all 20 fields, pulling in data from the stream to build it, e.g. in my steam I have a field-type of Country and on my advanced search form I want to include a dropdown list containing all the countries found within that field-type.
What I'm asking is what is the best approach to doing this?
Should I build my own module, separate from the PyroStreams module to perform this, or is that a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
I'm a bit of a novice in this field so all help & advice is greatly appreciated.

Just Grab sample module from here...https://github.com/pyrocms/sample and understand the folder and file structure.. Its quite easy to develop custom module in pyrocms.You just have to provide basic module detail in the detail.php to install the module. then create a new controller with the same name as module in controllers folder and same for the view and model. you can easily understand once you will go through the sample module..
url stucture will be like this
{{ url:site }}controller_name/method_name/paramate of method.
Hopefully this will help you..
This is a late answer, but PyroCMS now has a search module.
You can see the documentation to learn how to use it from a developers point of view here:
PyroCMS 2.2 Search Documentation
I found this problem all over the net but no answer yet, so maybe here someone solved it ...?
I built a page relying heavily on jquery.address. It's got one index page and the rest loads dynamically via Ajax following Google's /#!/ scheme for crawlable pages. Now I want to add Facebooks Like or share button but I can't get it to grab the actual page title or url.
Whatever I do, it always falls back to title and url of the index page. It tried:
(obviously) changing title an openGraph meta on load of the new parts.
"linking" the crawler page (?_escaped_fragmet_=xyx) but specifying the #! page in meta
"sharing" with a given title and url.
I never get anything but a link to the index page or a blank "share" to the right url with title and thumbnail ignored.
Has anyone got a similar setup working?
Thanks for any hints,
thomas
Facebook is actually using #! now and it works! If you build your site so that http://site.de/?_escaped_fragment=something is identical to http://site.de/#!/something all you have to do is "share" the #! url and it'll display the info from the escaped fragment page.
Use this URL to check: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
But: A much cleaner solution to the problem can be found here: http://github.com/browserstate/history.js/wiki/Intelligent-State-Handling
My guess would be that Facebook's crawler doesn't run Javascript and will always display whatever's actually in the page it gets from the server.
Facebook share has a BRUTAL cache, last time I checked it was impossible to change the title / description data once it was scraped :(
The issue I had was the og:url and the actual url of the page did not match. I also read a number of comments about the og data being just after the title element, but I don't think that solved anything.
With regard to issues of caching, it is true that Facebook's caching is "brutal", but it does not cache anything for the lint tool: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug.
I use no-hash-bang urls when sharing links. I process the hard links and redirect them to a hash bang client side using javascript. That way if a crawler goes to the hard linked page it will display the information just as it would if javascript were enabled.
