Plugin for jEvents 1.5 for sh404_SEF

[savvygroup]

i cant believe i didnt think of that they are both the same. i will update them know and see what happens.

ok i changed the alias and that did not fix it. i then change the name of the menu item and that did fix it.

Is there a way i can modify the sef_plugin to instead used the alias instead of the menu item name?

Sorry - forgot that sh404sef does that. I'm afraid that is a question for the sh404sef team since that function is in the sh404sef core core.

thanks for the reply i will try with them.

I asked the sh404 team and the issue is in the plugin. I did take a look at the plugin and it uses a menu call to construct it. We would have to put in a option for it to use alias instead for jevents.

See the code for it from the plugin here. If i get extra time i will try to add in the option myself but i wouldn't consider myself a programmer by any means. The custom sh404 flexicontent plugin i believe has the option of using an alias in it. I can try to compare that one.

Code: Select all

// start by inserting the menu element title (just an idea, this is not required at all)
$task = isset($task) ? @$task : 'month.calendar';
$Itemid = isset($Itemid) ? @$Itemid : null;

$shEventsName = shGetComponentPrefix($option);
$shEventsName = empty($shEventsName) ?
      getMenuTitle($option, $task, $Itemid, null, $shLangName) : $shEventsName;
$shEventsName = (empty($shEventsName) || $shEventsName == '/') ? 'EventsCom' : $shEventsName;

$segments = array();
$segments[] = $shEventsName;

the getMenuTitle function uses a sh404sef config option

Code: Select all

$nameField = $sefConfig->useMenuAlias ? 'alias' : 'name';

to choose between the menu title and alias.

Not sure on which page in the config this is set?

i will check with sh404. i have actually looked for that option over and over and i couldn't find it. i have read about it in there support forum but is all on older posts. i wonder if it was taken out. I will check with sh404.

thanks,

I found this setting btw in SH404 - Advanced Settings -> Joomla

Just made first version of plugin, and it can be found in:
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/sh404_plugins/frs/

Just remember to copy both plugin and language file. Haven't tested it completely, because my test server is unavailable ATM.

I'll write meta plugin too little later.

Please, tell in this thread if there's some problems with plugin, so I can fix those.

Language file (to administrator/components/com_sh404sef/language/plugins/): http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsre ... events.zip

sorry to ask that but how does it work ?
i was thinking i will get a tab into my SH404SEF extension configuration windows, but nothing appears.

[Geraint]

That config window is only for the addons that sh404sef provides as standard.
