How to map SOBI2 url  /sobi/ to /something-else/  ?

The virtuemark plugin seams to have a such feature but this one no. It should work by over-writing the title on artio configuration but it doesn't !

Hi Intersol,

This is what I did to solve the same issue.

Tested with versions
Joomla 1.0.13
Virtuemart 1.0.13a
Sobi2 2.8.2   
JoomSef 2.2.4


Extract then open com_sobi.php from the zip file

Before line 21

Code:

$title = array();

Add

Code:

$title[] = getMenuTitle(@$option, @$task, @$Itemid);

comment out lines 22-25

Code:

//$title = array();

//$title[] = 'sobi';
//$title[] = '/';

upload file to components/com_sef/sef_ext

Updated:  I should have mentioned this as well.

Important: don't forget to purge the sef urls and clean the cache after applying the above fix.


If all OK you can remove the commented out lines and re-upload.

This modification uses the menu name instead of sobi in the SEF URL.

Thanks Fallen for a great plugin.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Heya,

have released a fix, so you can change the prefix to whatever you want, just not an empty one.
please feel free to download it here:

of course it is for Artio JoomSEF 2.1.0, next release will be for new version of Artio JoomSEF.

Cheers.

Hi,

I have installed:
Joomla 1.0.15
joomsef-2.4.4-com_sobi2
Artio JoomSEF v2.2.4
Sobi RC 2.8.7.1

I get the same problem but I get /directory/ instead of the component name I specified in the general configuration of sobi. May I know how to fix this?

I'm not good in php.. I tried to change $title[] = $prefix; to $title[] = 'someName'; and it seems to work for a while but after that it changes back the /directory/ . I also did a custom title in the configurations of JoomSEF but doesn't to work as well.

Hope to get a reply soon. Thanks in advance!
