Joomla article structure

I was a newbie in Joomla and using the latest version to create my website. I want to create news page (list of article). I'm using module (external plugin) to listing all the article. But I'm not understand the structure to create the pages.
I got a menu like this:
Home
Latest News (link to single article with category 'Latest News')
This is my category:
Home
Latest News
News (every new article will be under this category)
Events
Then I display all the article inside Latest News page except the page I leave as blank because I using module to display the list. The URL will be like this mywebsitename/latest-news.
The problem is when I click one of the article to show full details of the article. The URL will be like mywebsitename/latest-news/11-home/latest-news/news/articleName. So how I need to do to structure the URL even my breadcrumb to be like this
mywebsitename / Latest News / News / article name
Even the module also display inside the article page. I only set this module under latest news page only. Can anyone help me. Thanks.
If you just began, restart your project. If you want to build up a site, first check whether there are any core functions for your usage or not. If it can be done through them, do it like that, as this is better for updating your site. (Maybe your plugin will not be supported later on...)
Then restart by building up your site:
Category - Article - Menu
Firstly, create the categories you wish. For example, you want the category "News" where you put news articles and a category "Events" where you put articles about your events.
Secondly create some articles for your category. You can use the "read-more" to preview your articles in your blog.
Last, create the menu. You can use a category blog and it's options to show your articles the way you want.

how to have a category blog and category list on the same page in joomla 2.5

I am trying to make it so that I can have a category blog that displays three articles, and one of those articles be a category list that will list some other recent new articles on my site. Is there any way of doing this in Core joomla or do I need a plugin?
Thanks,
Mike
You could use loadmodule to load a latest news or other module set to display the categories you want into one of the articles in your blog. Alternatively you could have an alternate layout that renders that module would need for an article.

Change name url from blog page pyrocms

I want change page name on blog module..
I need that it shows like a "news"
Example:
/blog/post-title -> /news/post-title
There are two ways to do this.
The first is to duplicate the blog module as news.
See the following Gist script: https://gist.github.com/3949038
The second is to create a route to redirect blogs to news.
See:
Change the uri of a module without renaming the class in PyroCMS

Joomla newsletter module for my application

I am looking for a newsletter module for my Joomla based site. I checked at Joomla Extension Forum but did not find any suitable component.
You can give a try to

also if you are familiar with Mailchimp and want to integrate with joomla them
Joomlamailer will be best for you.
You can try ACYMailing component: http://www.acyba.com/en/acymailing.html . I have been using it for 2 years. Scheduling tasks and grouping users are really helpful features you will enjoy

Component part shown in joomla frontend

How do I display the form in the frontend in Joomla 2.5, just like the Create Article form shown in the frontend?
You can obviously create an form in an article but it will be pointless as the form will require PHP functions which cannot be written in an article.
Your best bet would be to develop a simple module which you can embed in an article or download a free form extension from the Joomla Extensions Directory.
