TOPIC: SEF Extension for K2 - Use Item Alias

SEF Extension for K2 - Use Item Alias 13 years, 9 months ago #19387

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

Re: SEF Extension for K2 - Use Item Alias 13 years, 6 months ago #20881

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!
