How to remove article ID from url in Joomla 1.5? - joomla

Question

Using standard SEF in Joomla 1.5 I have links like: mysite.com/news/36-good-news-tooday.
I need to remove article ID from url and get something like this: mysite.com/news/good-news-today.
Note: It means I don't want use any plugins (like HP Router etc.)
I want edit Joomla own SEF.
UPD: Finally I found desicion. Here is full listing of router.php, wich you can find in components/com_content

I'm not an author! Router code was modified by Marvin Ryan.
This code works perfect in most of cases!
But I have some problems with JoomFish language toggle.
It have links like www.mysite.com/news/22
So I get only article ID, not article alias. This problem is still actual!

Answer 1

Create menu items for every article.
