Joomla 1.7 sef404 advice please
-
Hi not sure if anyone uses joomla on here but if they do i would love there advice. I have just got a joomla site that is joomla 1.7 but i cannot find a sh404sef component to make the url friendly and would like to know if there is a component out there or if you can use an older one.
I would have thought by now that they would have installed one with joomla 1.7
If anyone uses joomla, then i would be glad to hear from you.
-
My first suggestion would be to review the installation instructions. It sounds like a step was missed.
If the issue remains, try contacting the extension's author via their support forums: http://anything-digital.com/forum/developer/sh404sef/
If you try both steps and still cannot see the control panel, you can e-mail me information for your site and I can take a look: ryan@vitopian.com

Ryan i have just bought it as my subscription has just ran out but when i have loaded it onto my template for joomla 1.7 i cannot see not control panel for it like you can for joomla 1.5 can you give me any advice please
-
There is a J1.7 version of the extension. I would suggest checking the anything-digital site again. If you are not seeing it, then perhaps your subscription expired. According to the Joomla extension directory SH404SEF is "Joomla! 1.7 ready!": http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-management/sef/10134

Hi yes it is the SH404SEF that i am talking about which i am a huge fan of. But when i have tried to put the 1.5 version for my joomla 1.7 template, it did not like it. So i was checking to see if there was a new version for the joomla 1.7 as each new joomla normally has a new updated extension

Hi Diane.
I am confused by your question. SH404SEF is the name of an extension which is designed to provide SEO features such as friendly URLs. The extension is Joomla 1.7 compatible. http://anything-digital.com/sh404sef/seo-analytics-and-security-for-joomla.html
I like the extension and the author specifically cites SEOmoz at times which offers me a measure of confidence in their SEO methods.
If you don't like SH404SEF for any reason, the other extension which seems most comparable is AceSEF: http://www.joomace.net/joomla-extensions/acesef

I am losing 1 point of DA at month? What could it be? I have noticed I have lost 50K (out of 300K) of internal links after a website update, could it be related to that?

Subpages have Page Authority of 1 behind Home with DA 50
How come that our subpages all have a PA 1 if the home got DA 50? technical specialities: Megamenue opens on click only Category pages dont exist (home/i-do-not-exist-as-page-category/PA-1-subpage) All subpages have a high amount of links to ressources (over 200) what would be the most obvious cause for the low PA? would the external link profile be the main reason? thanks in advance. I would be happy to answer your questions Kind regards

Resurrecting a heavily duplicated Joomla website.
The site in question is stanwix.info. I set this up years ago as a community project before I had even heard of seo. It carries quite a bit of content but has appallingly "SEO Unfriendly" URLs some content is recorded as duplicate 3 or more times because of these dynamic URLs according to the crawl statistics returned by SEO Moz. Currently it ranks well for the keyword stanwix - not too surprising as the only significant local competition is a large commercial holiday complex located several miles away out on the coast. As a sort of showcase, I have been trying to come up with a strategy to re-optimise stanwix.info so that it can outdo the commercial site stanwix.com I am pretty sure that step 1 involcves upgrading from the current archaic version of Joomla to the latest release even though that will break some of the modules currently installed. My pal who actually coded the site did a fair bit of hacking of the modules to get them to work properly. OR do I simply bin it and start a fresh site consigning years worth of community content to the darkness and replace with fresh material - I'm not keen on this option as I have put a lot of heart and soul into this project. I am in a quandary here as the problems are so numerous that whatever I do will break the site for some time. The reason I want to keep the site is because the business directory provides a useful locally relevant source of links for other clients and I am also going to set up a separate website for the community centre on a subdomain - this time running in wordpress which I do have a fair bit of experience with. Your advice for my addled brain would be much appreciated.

Cant view campaign after windows 7 install
i am giving it a try here since seomoz support couldnt help me. Anyone had similar problems ? Earlier i was using W Vista (norwegian version) - did a clean reinstall of windows 7 (english version). After that i couldnt open anything related to the pro version of seomoz. When i am on the dashboard and try to open my campaign nothing happens and I just time out after a while(internet explorer). Tried with google chrome. Google chrome says after a while that this site has a redirection loop that is causing multiple redirections. Its advicing me to try to delete cookies (didnt help) also set security to minimum(didnt help). I then also realized that my google analytics didnt update last 2 days (after install). I am writing this now on my wifes mac. Seomoz and google analytics work just fine. What is wrong? anyone know ?
