Does anyone know how to hack the php in this plugin so that it takes the item alias rather then the item name?

I'm also interested in this issue.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I am pretty sure I hacked the php via a post I managed to find on a website. Here's the note I sent to myself at the time:


REPLACE THIS FUNCTION IN THIS FILE:

/components/com_sef/sef_ext/com_k2.php

this now uses item alias AND strips out any dashes that appeared where apostrophes were! For example:

alias I specified was '80's videos'

this got changed to:

www.example.com/80-s-videos

This fix does this:

www.example.com/80s-videos

Here is the code:


function getItemTitle($id){

$database =& JFactory::getDBO();

if(preg_match('!:!', $id)) {

$idExplode = explode(':', $id);

$id = intval($id[0]);

};

$database->setQuery("SELECT `title`, `alias`, `catid` FROM `#__k2_items` WHERE `id` = $id");

$item = $database->loadObject();

$cat = $this->getCategoryTitle($item->catid);

$name = $item->alias;

array_push($cat, $name);

return $cat;

}

Thanks a lot, it works now.

No problem, I was delighted when I found that code after hours of head scratching!
