The URL for a category in K2 is mentioned twice :

www.mywebsite.com/executive-committee/executive-committee

how do i make it like this :


www.mywebsite.com/executive-committee/

Thanks

I think that, the first is menu title and the second is category title. Plz write here the Real URL of this example.

Hi,

I'm having a problem with this issue when using joomfish.

Let's say my main language is english and I have spanish for my 2º language using joomfish. All items in mainmenu are linked to K2 categories, so if I have an menu item named "Movies" linked to the K2 category "Movies", the URL in english will be "domain.com/movies/movies" and in spanish will be "domain.com/es/peliculas/movies" (notice that only the menu part is translated). Selecting yes in "Skip prefix / menu" in the K2 extension options solves the problem in the english language by removing the menu part from the URL, then being "domain.com/movies", but in spanish the url will be "domain.com/es/movies" because the category part is not translated and so the URL will stay untranslated. The correct URL should be "domain.com/es/peliculas".

Hope you can fix this issue (asap for seo reasons).

Regards.

PS: yes, I have the K2 categories translated in joomfish.

So strange, because when a part of link can be translated the other part should be translated too. Did you try to remove category and then add menu title? I mean just the category, not the category of item. Plz try this.

If it does not work again, plz provide us a super admin account, send it to info[at]joomace.net.

Hi,

Sorry I don't understand what you propose. I have sent the super admin details to your email.

Thanks.

Translate problem was because of "alias". You've set alias instead of title on "AceSEF=>Configuration=>URLs=>Use Title or Alias", and on Joom!Fish component there is no field for alias translate for categories. So, I set the title for K2 component on "AceSEF=>Extensions=>K2=>URL" and then I skipped menu title. After that links are as you wanted:
domain/pt/filmes
domain/pt/filmes/accao

But if you go to AceSEF=>URLs and filter K2 component, you will see there some duplicated URLs. For now are too few, but when you will add other K2 categories and items, there will be too much duplicated URLs. So I suggest you not to skip menu title.

Rgrds.

Thanks Gilbert! I thought it was a bug with the K2 extension. Sorry for the hassle.

PS: is there another way to avoid the duplicate URLs?

If you don't use too much subcategories like:
domain/pt/movies/actions/other-category/another-category
you can say "Only lat one" for "Add category to URL" and "Add category to item" on AceSEF=>Extensions=>K2=>URL. And after you generate URLs, go to AceSEF=>URLs and change menu links, for example:
domain/pt/movies/movies to domain/pt/movies

Actually, I just saw on your website that these duplicated URLs appear because of Itemid. Some links do not have Itemid, some have a bad Itemid like "Itemid=", and some have the right Itemid. So, I think that the right solution is to say Yes for "Use Smart ItemID" on "AceSEF=>Extensions=>K2=>URL". And then each link will have the right "Itemid".

Also read these pages carefully:
www.joomace.net/support/docs/acesef/how-...vent-duplicated-urls
www.joomace.net/support/docs/acesef/how-...-by-multiple-itemids

Setting "Record duplicated URLs" to "No" as stated in your first link did the trick.

Thanks a lot for all your help!
