Hi there, do you have any idea how to remove "component/muscol/" from the URLs? I have enabled friendly URL and URL rewriting from the back-end of Joomla but it seems like "muscol" is not working..

thanks for your help.

Thanks,
Nelson.

    has you assigned a "default Itemid" to the component parameters? (read the last part of this article: http://www.joomlathat.com/documentation/music-collection/getting-started )

      Hi Germinal, thanks for your quick response... should this work even if I'm setting up muscol to be the "home" menu? I don't have anything else on the site, so I'm making muscol the front page component on the site..

      update: weird, what you sent me works, but if I set muscol as a regular menu.. as soon as I set as "default" for the home page the problem comes back.

    muscol is on the "home" menu.

      I guess the cause can be that the home menu does not have an alias? if there is no alias, it will use component/muscol. just a notice: it's not a "problem" ;) this is how joomla builds the menu items.. ;)

    it has an "alias" is called "home" I've been using "muscol" for a long time ( since joomla 1.5 ) and I always had this problem.. I know it must be something I'm doing, but how do other people fix this issue when they have a website with "muscol" as the default menu.

    if u allow me to say something, i think you should try to use sh404sef to edit and modify any Item Id and url you want ,

    Best Regards

    OK.. new development. I think the problem is only from "modules" I put on the front page" for example, if I put "featured artists" and "random albums" module on the front page, the URLs will have the "component/muscol/" part on the URL.. all the rest of the modules on the sidebar for example, will have the correct format.

    any ideas why?
