[SOLVED] About SEF URLs, possible to remove /item/ segment

Bonjour,

Après avoir mis en place un certain nombre d'articles et de menus en utilisant flexicontent, je me rends compte que les URLs des articles ont cette forme :
www.site.com/nomdumenu/item/17-titre-de-mon-article.html

Je vais peut-être sembler un peu chochotte, mais cette URL me semble pour le moins inélégante.
Je souhaiterais bien entendu obtenir :
www.site.com/nomdumenu/titre-de-mon-article.html
Je considère en effet que l'internaute n'a pas à visualiser ce qui relève en réalité de la "cuisine interne" d'un site. "item" ou le numéro de l'item n'ont strictement aucun intérêt pour lui.

Après avoir effectué quelques recherches sur internet, il semble que je sois loin d'être le seul dans ce cas. Mais cette question n'obtient jamais de réponse concrète (ou alors je n'ai pas trouvé).

Quelqu'un aurait-il une petite idée pour obtenir des URL un peu plus propres ?
Merci d'avance

Hello

your question is covered here:
Creating shorter/nicer SEF urls and structure of item URLs

the item number is a requirement for FLEXIcontent component URLs and cannot be removed.

to remove '/item/'

you can go to component parameters, (click 'configuration' button), and inside the first TAB, scroll down to find URL / SEF options
and select to remove it.
-- it will be removed if: '/nomdumenu/' is a menu alias of a category, or if it is: catId-catAlias

please,
note that if you do not create menu items for your categories, then you will get URLs like:

/nomdumenu/category/catId-catAlias/

Hi,

Many thanx for your fast answer. So now, half of my problem is solved, this is great news.

Just being curious : why isn't this option to remove "item/" set by default ? I mean when is it interesting to leave this in the URL ?

About the other half of my problem, I saw that someone asked if there was a possibility to rewrite the URL, maybe using the htaccess file, to remove this "17-" part.
I liked the idea but I'm not a specialist… Maybe this is non sense ? Or could it be possible ?

Thanks again !

also this option is new in v3 before it FLEXIcontent item URLs were always having /item/

Once again, this is great news…

note that if you do not create menu items for your categories, then you will get URLs like:
/nomdumenu/category/catId-catAlias/

Not sure I get what it means…
Does it mean I can get rid of the catId ?

Hello

catID and fcitemId

are like Joomla category / article URLs

they can be removed if you created menu items pointing directly to them
