Hello Nuno,

Unfortunately there is no such function in easy discuss to remove categories/listings/ from URL structure . But you may use a 3rd party SEF component such as SH404SEF to achieve the requirement that you wanted.

Hi Kheng,

SH404SEF works great for Menu items...
Also instead of Category Module I can set a new Menu and assign it to a Module position.
But for the category link in questions it's not possible to use SH404SEF the same way.

Hello Nuno,

Is it possible to install sh404sef component in your development site in order for us to configure the sh404sef component and see what it can achieve for the URL structure ?

Thank You

Regards
Kheng Wei

Hi Kheng,

I just install sh404sef
Thanks for your great support

Hello Nuno,

After configuring the sh404sef in your development site, the best possible URL structure we can come out with would be mywebsite.com/categories/uncategorized which is the most simplified URL structure for easy discuss. But due to the code structure or logic of how easy discuss structures its URL, such as this URL example mywebsite.com/finance would lead to confusion if there is a thread or post that has the same name as the category for example mywebsite.com/finance/finance.html. Therefore the URL structure for easy discuss would include the category within its URL structure to avoid such confusion.

Hi Kheng,

Because that solution won't work for me I uninstall the sh404sef.

Since I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function utf8_ucfirst() in /home/kdesilu/public_html/sav/libraries/joomla/string/string.php on line 693

Admin works fine but front end nothing (:

Can you please provide some support?

Thanks,

Hello Nuno Francisco,

Sorry for late reply to this,
Hmm, may i know what your expected URL format look like?

For the moment I have
mywebsite.com/categories/listings/uncategorized

and I would like
mywebsite.com/uncategorized

Is it this one? If yes, can you install back the SH404SEF component in your development site, so we will trying to check and see is it can achieve with your requirement if using the 3rd party SEF component here? Please advise.

It seems like this error message is come from Joomla, can you consult with Joomla support and see how it goes?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function utf8_ucfirst() in /home/kdesilu/public_html/sav/libraries/joomla/string/string.php on line 693

Hope this help.

Hi Arlex,

Thanks for your feed back.
I just reinstall again SH404SEF.
The expected URL format is

If no sub category
mywebsite.com/category/question

If sub-category
mywebsite.com/category/sub-category/question

I don't want index.php/discuss/question/ in the string URL

Thanks

Hello Nuno Francisco,

You're welcome
It seems like you already change back this user "support" super administrator privilege to normal user privilege.

Can you set it again and install the SH404SEF in your development site as well? Please advise.

Sorry Arlex,

I just did your request.

Waiting for your reply.

Thank you very much

Hi Arlex,

Any news about the SH404SEF?

Regards,

Hello Nuno Francisco,

Sorry for late reply to this,
I have tested half way then getting blank page, check my screenshot below.
Have you doing something in your site just now?

Regarding this issues we can help you solved it, it seems like that was issues from Joomla, that is not related SH404SEF component.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function utf8_ucfirst() in /home/kdesilu/public_html/sav/libraries/joomla/string/string.php on line 693

Please advise.

Hi Arlex,

I needed to go further than I restaure a backup version.
I will leave the URL structure that way for the moment because the error was produce by the SH404SEF.

However, I'm getting some others errors with the ACL:
- signature are not displaying;
- send report are not displaying;
- if I disable the option Lock discussion, all the moderate drop-down button disappear

Hope you can help me with that.
Thanks,

Hello Nuno Francisco,

Actually that error we already solved, do you mean this error right?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function utf8_ucfirst() in /home/kdesilu/public_html/sav/libraries/joomla/string/string.php on line 693

- signature are not displaying;
>> It seems like work fine for me, check my screenshot below.

- send report are not displaying;
>> This solved, because you have set your site name in your configuration.php file

public $live_site = 'http://www.xxx.xxxxx/';

//Replace with

public $live_site = '';

- if I disable the option Lock discussion, all the moderate drop-down button disappear
>> That is strange, when i disabled that lock discussion option from ACL > SuperUser > the moderate drop down button still appear, am i missing something here? Please advise.

Hi Arlex,

The fatal error in string.php wasn't solved. That's why we reinstall a backup version.
Signature is now displaying.
The moderate drop down button disappear in Manager and Register Group if ACL group Manager and Register lock discussion set to no.

Please check Manager and Register ACL

Regards

Arlex,

Can you please remove my url in your reply.

Thanks,

Hello Nuno Francisco,

The fatal error in string.php wasn't solved. That's why we reinstall a backup version.

The moderate drop down button disappear in Manager and Register Group if ACL group Manager and Register lock discussion set to no.
>> By default when you turn off lock,feature,move and lock polls, so the moderator button will not show out.
>> I have applied some hack in your file, can you please have a check and see how it goes.

Hi Arlex,

>> Are you still hitting this issues in currently?
A: No, I reinstall a backup version without SH404SEF and without the problem.

The moderate drop down button disappear in Manager and Register Group if ACL group Manager and Register lock discussion set to no.
>> By default when you turn off lock,feature,move and lock polls, so the moderator button will not show out.
>> I have applied some hack in your file, can you please have a check and see how it goes.
A: It's better. Finally I can manage who will be able to use the lock function.
However that produces a new problem.

How to enable only the author question to moderate a question status? I mean, how to enable the moderate button only to the author question?
For the moment, no one who has the status registered can write a question and moderate others questions from others register users...

Any advise?
