J-BusinessDirectory - SEF URL for business listings

Support Forum

 
 

 

Hi

we are using Jbuisness directory to listing the items.

Currently the listing alias can be opened under any url on Joomla website, that creating an issue in SEO as well as in the frontend view

for example we created a menu item blog  and selected a listing category

now all the listing item under the category should be opened /blog/listing-alias

however it is opening under default homepage. example.org/listing-alias

would like to know if there is option to change it like Joomla routing.

 

Thank you

In the directory general settings -> SEO tab you can set SEO to Joomla.
The URL for the listing can be changed as well in the SEO tab. You can add the menu item alias to force listing to point under the same menu item.

Hi

I tried this option but it does not working exactly.

It worked for a menu item fine. but for others menu where i have different category selected in the Menu

i am still getting  all links item are pointed to first menu.

https://prnt.sc/eiM3YVTXdKS5

example: Menu item stay : category Lodge

this works fine.

Menu item  : Dining : category dining.

this does not work dining category listing still opening as /stay/alias

 

same case with other menu items all are opening under /stay 

Currently, you cannot link listing to menu item alias. You can have different categories and add the category alias on the listing URL.

How can i make different alias based on category? As menu item alias is not working.

i have around 10 categories and all are linked to 10 menu items.  now if it always goes under one menu item

it appear a serious bug.

would appriciate for a solution here.

 

 

 

You can manually add each listing to a menu under the correct category.  

That might be sufficient, but if it's not, you can use 4SEF  (or similar) to redirect all the unwanted URLs to the wanted URL.

(And yes, it's HUGELY inefficient!)

One SEO/SEF Google SERP (Search Engine Optimization Position) JBD SEF issue is that when you use JBD own sef setting on a multi language site the URL trail www.domain.com/JBD/category/category/etc/listing for example the category(ies) (city names), etc you choose will be in English category name only, Example listing category Cars in English/French site Category: cars  (english) when its should be something else in another multi language site ie Category: voitures (french) as an example.

Did you check that and how did you overcome this?
