We have inherited a Joomla site - which has been built using the K2 plugin. All seems straightforward enough - but we have one particular page which is active and cannot be found anywhere in the CMS - we have searched all items - every other page appears apart from this one - can anyone advise on a way we could track the page down?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated!
can you send your path url and What are you looking for?
maybe, it is a module that only appear on certain pages.

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,

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.
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 struggling to generate a dynamic sitemap for SEO purposes in a Wicket 1.5 application. I looked at this example but couldn't understand what they mean exactly.
I see I need to create an xml page and mount it but then it talks about generating the url list. How do I do this part? Is there functionality in Wicket to get a list of mounted pages? According to that link, it's "very easy" to do this in Wicket 1.5 so I must be missing something obvious.
Any tips or pointers gratefully appreciated! Thanks.
i did exactly this in 2010. there was a wicketstuff-minis project for this.
it could be possible it still works if you dig it out of the archives.
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.wicketstuff/sitemap-xml
the sources must also be somewhere out there..
this was built for wicket 1.4 but i guess they changed enough to make it no longer work.
I'm trying to suss out the Joomla 2.5 Smart Search. I followed some instructions here - http://magazine.joomla.org/issues/issue-feb-2012/item/671-Developing-a-Smart-Search-Plugin - I managed to get my plugin installed and items from my component were being indexed in the smart search component in the administrator section..
But when I go to the front end of my site and type in one of the names of the products, it says no results found. Yet as mentioned before the same product is displaying fine in the admin component smart search, it just won't show up on the front end when I search for it.
I'm not sure what I've done wrong, or if I'm missing something?
Here's my plugin file structure:
/plugins/finder/products/language/en-GB/en-GB.plg_finder_products.ini
/plugins/finder/products/language/en-GB/en-GB.plg_finder_products.sys.ini
/plugins/finder/products/products.php
/plugins/finder/products/products.xml
/plugins/finder/products/script.php
I also added the route.php in my site components helper folder.
Any ideas on what I've done wrong, or if anyone could tell me how to print out the search query itself on the results page, so I can see where things are going wrong? I don't know, any help would be appreciated really :)
Thanks guys
Without some code to look at I can't suggest more than turning on Joomla!'s debug mode and setting the error reporting to it highest level ie.'Development'.
Debug Mode: Site->Global Configuration->System->Debug System->Yes
Error Reporting: Site->Global Configuration->Server->Error Reporting->Development
That way you'll get all the SQL queries in the Joomla! Debug Console and that will help a little.
Does your component use access levels? I've just been looking into smart search plug-ins and found that the reason why nothing was appearing on the front end for my component despite being indexed was because it didn't know what the access levels of that component's articles were.
As my component didn't use access levels, I found that adding "$item->access=1;" to the index() function was a hack that fixed it by conning it into thinking the access levels were public (though just a hack, mind you, and should not be considered the correct solution.)
Anyway, I had the same problem and that was the cause.
I have a quick question about the layout of the page on a custom joomla site. been googling to no avail. On the home page of a site im working on, i have a flash(or soon to be jquery ) banner with some of the products sold from my clients store hard coded onto the page.
looks good and all but, it appears in every page. now i know that modules can be appended to individual pages but, how can i make.....well for example, WordPress has a feature where you can make a template of a page and give that template to a new page.
is there something similar in joomla? my overall goal is to have this banner only appear on the homepage. the rest of the pages will only get the header,menu, middle content, footer etc.
im trying to find a workaround and so i was thinking of maybe creating a "custom html" module, and i guess copy/pasting the content there and praying that it works...i suppose if it did, then id be able to dictate what page that banner comes in at but this method seems too messy.
any ides on how to better achive this? im a noob to joomla so sorry if i seem a bit turned around.
Thanks in advanced.
Here is a good explanation about assigning modules:
http://docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_assign_a_module_to_specific_pages%3F
If your scenario gets too complicated you can use an extension like this one to manage where (even when) your modules will be displayed:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/style-a-design/modules-management/10307
If you want banner on home page only but not on other pages then just set the Banner module to show on home page only. You will get Menu option under Module configuration page.
For banner you can either use any third party Joomla modules or you can write your code inside custom HTML. I hope this will help :)
