Hello i need some help to solve a problem.
I have a joomla site 3.3.3 version and i removed the id's from url according to this.[https://joomla.stackexchange.com/questions/988/remove-article-id-from-joomla-3-url][1]
Everything works ok.When i created an Articles-Newsflash (advanced) module and assign articles to it,by clicking the link title it give's me 404 error page.
When i go to the admin area and turn Sef Advanced Mode to no everything works!
I can't figure out what i'm missing.
Thank's in advance for any help!!
P.S.Its a multilingual site.
This happens when you have articles with the same aliases, even trashed articles. Check your trash for deleted articles and completely trash them.
By the way, we created an exhaustive guide, and it is available here: http://www.itoctopus.com/how-to-remove-the-article-id-from-joomlas-sef-urls
There is also a way, described in the guide, of doing this whole thing without modifying a core file.

we moved a site for a client a while back that someone else created. Its running on Joomla 1.7.
We want to do some light SEO work for them but I can't for the life of me find the Meta/SEO title field anywhere.
All the support posts I've looked at say its here or there but for me its not. It seems to be know where! In the meta options section when editing an artcile there is a description and keyword field but no title.
Some help would be appreciated. This client can't justify a new website.
Thanks!
Update:
we ended up upgrading this install to 2.5, still couldn't edit the meta titles anywhere. So I installed a plugin which gave me the title field but it had no effect! Can only assume the theme hasn't been put together properly. The conclusion is that its now quicker for us to just move them to WordPress where stuff works properly! :)
I'm working more with Wordpress than Joomla, but I think that you should download an extension if you want to have a meta-title in the pages. For the home page you can change it from Menu - Main menu - Home.
The client have moved Joomla from old to new server. I am aware of what they did exactly. As a result joomla webpage is working (it seems so) and administrator panel loads correctly. You can edit menu items etc. there.
However, when you try to edit article it doesn't work.
When I click on article, the page start to load (...administrator/index.php?option=com_content§ionid=-1&task=edit&cid[]=56), but the only thing that is loaded is empty page with one form element with input fields "Title", "Alias", "Section". That is it. So this means that page stoped loading.
I am not so big expert in Joomla and debugging, but can you suggest me how to fix this issue? How to find out why articles stoped working? I understand that you can me give the exact sollution, but can you mention some steps to investigate.
EDIT:
After some investigation I have set
ini_set('display_errors',1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
error_reporting(-1);
in admin.content.html.php and this showed me an error.
You can check version of php. Joomla 1.5 is pretty old so somewhere it can contain call-time pass-by-reference which was removed in 5.4+, so using it raise a fatal error. Enable error_reporting also error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 'stdout') or stderr
I have an annoying problem and am hoping someone will be able to help.
We use quite a few extensions on our Joomla site (Roksprocket mainly but also Global News Filter for instance).
The modules themselves are working fine however when I click on an article in one of these modules the article opens but it doesn't use the nice URL that should be displayed (we have Search Engine Friendly URLs set to Yes and Use URL rewriting set to Yes). This happens for all modules that draw off a category (so I don't think its linked to a specific extension).
For instance on our Case Studies page if you click on Read More on the RSA Case Study you get this URL
http://www.assima.net/en/resources/case-studies/99-home/resources/case-studies/ats-case-studies/649-case-study-rsa
but what you should get is the menu item URL associated with this article which is this
http://www.assima.net/en/resources/case-studies/ats-case-studies/rsa
I don't think there is anything wrong with our .htaccess as I reverted back to the default Joomla one and it still occured.
Also this used to work perfectly. I first noticed it around October or November last year.
If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it, I've googled the problem many times and not found any help.
Thanks

FIXED.
Due to a Joomla bug. Fixed by overwriting the route.php file as described in this post: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=625&t=831007&start=30
joomla version 2.5.8
joomfish version 2.5.0
I have created an article and translated it with joomfish.
I login with the user that created that article and i'm trying to edit it.
In english(basic language) i can edit it successfully.
In greek(translation) i get an error "another article in the category exists with the same alias" when i try to edit the article.
Even when i put the translation in another category i am able to edit it once, and the new version is saved again into the category of the original article!!!so i can't edit it for a second time...
I could find nothing in forums and google generally...
Do i have to switch to the core-joomla-multilingual-system and uninstall joomfish? does it allow same alias in multiple articles?
Any other suggestions?
I had similar bug. This 'cause Joom!Fish 2.5 works another way then old versions. It keeps both articles (original and translated) in article manager, so articles anyway can't be stored with same aliases.
What I did: go to /libraries/joomfish/contentelement/contentelements/
You can see *.xml files stored here. Every of this files is corresponding for different elements. For example open content.xml and find this code:
<treatment>
<target>native</target>
<tableclass>Content</tableclass>
<publishedfield>state</publishedfield>
<translationObjectModel file="joomfish.translatable.translationobject.content">TranslationObjectContent</translationObjectModel>
<jformModel>ContentJForm</jformModel>
</treatment>
and remove this.
After you do this Joom!Fish stops duplicate contents, and you'll get many translations with same alias!
P.S.: You may need to remove duplicate articles in Article Manager.
I got a problem I really cant solve. I am trying to create a menu with an single article in Joomla 2.5, but it wont show the article.
I have created a main menu with some menus which are set to single article, and I have created some articles, which I've added to the specific menu items, it has no problems saving the menu, but when I reload the page, there is no article/text/picture.
Does some one have any idea why this is happening?
Make sure article is published. Even if it won't work. Just on error reporting n see what exactly error is getting about & find the solution.
It seems like a SEF issue.
Say your menu is published under the SEF url /fun/jokes.html: if the SEF plugin is not enabled Joomla might be looking for your pictures in /fun/images/... instead of /images/...
Just head to the administrator / plugin, search for SEF (system - SEF plugin) and enable it.
Clear the cache and it should start working.
I have found the problem. Under my profil for the template, "System Output" whas set to "no". Changed it to "yes" and it shows all my article.
But thanks for your efforts
