Hi

I have a number of questions / issues which someone might be able to help with.

1) We have a very large site which probaly contains a lot of articels in each section and category.

My problem is i can setup a category or section page to show so much. Is there are away i can create a link which then just shows everything as a blog list like normal joomla

So user can paginate through the whole category and section if they want too. So like a see All articles type link.

2)The site already has menu items which link to scetions and categories and there are at least 20 or 30 such links.

So the Menu link goes to

http://www.hizb.org.uk/hizbdev/content/blogsection/11/184/

And the featured section link goes to

http://www.hizb.org.uk/hizbdev/component/option,com_news_portal/task,section/id,11/Itemid,232/

How can i point them to the one and same URL. So clicking on either gets to the section page. I don't want to have to recreate all the links

3) Also Related to linking

The same links mentioned above When i use the SEO component sh404SEF

For the normal menu link i get

http://www.hizb.org.uk/hizb/resources/

And for the one form news portal we get a totally non seo url

http://www.hizb.org.uk/hizbdev/index.php?option=com_news_portal&task=section&id=11&Itemid=232

Of course it sounds like it's an issue to do with the seo component. My question is anyone used it and got SEO friendly or is there one which works better with ijoomla news.

Thanks for all help in advance

You can do this:
- Adding a blog item to your mainmenu. Or
- Editing your section/category zone and setting "Show 'view all'" as yes with "'View all' format" as blog.

You can use your section menu´s items instead of your mainmenu´s items. You only need to copy these items from your section menu and paste them on your mainmenu.

I don´t know how does this extension work. Does sh404SEF have a rename url function?

Thanks for help

1) Is there a way i can control the text it puts for this "view all" i know you can set it to use a particular css, vut could i have text as 'view all' instead of >> which proably menas nothing.

2) Thanks that helps i knew i must be missing something, some work has to be done but not as much as expected.

3) I think you can have alternative URL's on this SEO in the latest version

Edit your language file and find this:
Code:
define("_SHOW_ALL_FRONT",">>");
Replace >> with "View All".

We'll take note of it for future releases if it's possible.
