This week we're trying to answer one of the most common questions in the Joomla world: "What is the best URL setup for Joomla and why?"
Yesterday I talked about default Joomla URLs and why they are a bad idea for your Joomla site. Today is Part 2 of the quest we're going to look at the default Joomla Search Engine Friendly URLs.
Lets see whether this set up is any more useful....
What Do the URLs Look Like?
/content/view/5/6/
/component/option,com_contact/Itemid,3/
/component/option,com_newsfeeds/Itemid,7/
How Do I Set Up This Option?
There are two steps you need to take after installing Joomla.
Login to your FTP account and rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.
After you've logged in to the administrator section, go to Site >> Global Configuration >> SEO >> Search Engine Friendly URLs = Yes
