Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Component “com_sh404SEF-15_1.0.20_Beta_build_237.joomla1.5.x.zip” need to be installed, this automatically works for the URL that we give in joomla like for Menus.

But this component will not be applied for the URL we givn in PHP code.

For that we need to do like below.

Search engine follows certains rules, particularly with URL the regular URL must be changed :

Regular URL :  index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=99&Itemid=155

SEO URL : index.php/component/content/article/?id=99&Itemid=155

To enable SEO in Joomla

Administrator/site/Global Configuration/Right side "Search Engine Friendly URLs" - Yes    

To Change Articles Global Configuration like Hiding authorname, Hiding PDF Icon, Hiding Print Icon etc.

Administrator/Article Manager/Parameters

Change according to requirement that will effect all the artciles by default.
