Hi,

I am using the sample data but I found that for each page, it inserted an “index.php” as a folder name in the URL.
Please see the screen shot.

Is there a way to get ride of this file name in the URL? For example in the screen shot, make it “localhost/iuworking/life-and-style/fashion-a-beauty/237-joomla25-template-magazine-news/”?

Thanks.

This post in the link is very complicated… There are so many options discussed.
Sorry I am very new to Joomla.
Could you please point out who’s idea/which reply is the one that is applicable to Teline III V2?
Thank you very much.

Hi

This is not a template configuration, but a Joomla core feature

From your backend you need to have Search Engine Friendly URLs set to yes and Use URL rewriting to yes

Then you need to go in your Joomla installation folder and rename the file htaccess.txt to .htaccess after you added these lines to it

## Can be commented out if causes errors, see notes above.
Options +FollowSymLinks

#
# mod_rewrite in use

RewriteEngine On
#Remove index.php from homepage
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^{3,9} /index.(php|html) [NC]
RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://www.yourdomain.com/ [R=301,L]

Change http://www.yourdomain.com with your domain name

This method does have removed the index.php, but all the dynamic effects of the templates are gone, such as the sub menus, JA News Featured Module, JA Tab, and others.

Could you please tell me how to fix?
Thanks.

<blockquote>Hi Pavit,

Thanks a lot for your help. May I know where you have changed, so that I can implement the change for other site by my self?

Thanks again.</blockquote>

Hi

I added in your .htaccess file in the main root this block of code

## Mod_rewrite in use.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^{3,9} /index.(php|html) [NC]
#RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://yourwebsite.com/ [R=301,L]

clearly i changed yourwebsite.com with your site name

Best regards

Why do we need to change the yourwebsite.com, when that line is commented out?

Thanks.
By the way, do I still need to do “From your backend you need to have Search Engine Friendly URLs set to yes and Use URL rewriting to yes” in this updated method?

Yes you need to have settings in that way

Is the only different between the two versions is that the second one doesn’t have “RewriteEngine On”?

I also notice that in the second method the “www.” is not included in “yourdomain.com”. Is this also important to not include the “www.”?

Thank you very much.

Hi Pavit,

Is there a way to make this code compatible with both localhost and the web server?
If I change the http://yourwebsite.com to my domain, then it won’t be effective on my localhost.

Is there a generic thing I can put in this “http://yourwebsite.com” so that it works both on my local WAMP and hostgator without changing code back and forth?

Thanks.

I’m wondering how it will be effective on your localhost when you change in host server :confused:
