Good afternoon,

I'm using the Appsprotech template without K2. But I do have the Social API on for certain categories - articles.
It is showing k2-comments/.../k2-users/... in url. Why is that?

I don't want this to show in URL as I'm not using K2.
It should show only the category and article like this: pagedesign.nl/nieuws/aanbieding-facebook-bedrijfspagina.
Instead of http://pagedesign.nl/k2-comments/nieuws ... ijfspagina.

I don't see anywhere how I can change this. Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Marina

I believe they are generated from menu items alias. If you have installed quickstart package and then renamed menu item names then you haven't changed their alias.

In quickstart some menu items used "External URL" menu item type which hides menu alias. Simply change menu item type to something else which will show menu alias then you can change it.

Let me know how you get on. See you around...

I did NOT use the quickstart package.

I made an extra menu which does not show. And I put the news in there. See printscreen.
Alias have the same name as the titel. So Nieuws = alias nieuws etc.


The url was showing right till I added a new article in 'news' (nieuws) and then I saw that the url changed ....

Let me know how you get on. See you around...

Hope you can help me, thank you. Marina
