Clean url without category was created by kalixo

Dear all,
I set everything to avoid category in my url's, but the category still apperas in link.
Is it possible and safe to remove category from url link?

I wish to have clean url's "domain.com/article456.html", but I have "domain.com/category/article456.html".
Do I need to use external component to trim the category from the link or is it spossible to do that by K2 natively?

Thanks in advance,
best ragars,
Kalixo

Hi,

Go to K2 parameters, then go to advanced tab. Scroll down to Advanced SEF settings.

Click NO for category ID in URL.

I think that should work.

Hello Kalixo,

This has been resolved in the upcoming 2.7 version.
You can get the DEV version from: getk2.org/assets/get/

Hello Master Krikor,
thank you very much, so it's not possible yet.

Can you tell me how far is it from the official release? Is it a big risk to install it?

Best regards,
Kalixo

Hehehe :)
Not a risk. Backup first in order to ensure that nothing can go wrong.

@kalixo

Just make sure that the option "Prefix for item URLs" is set to "None".

You cannot have URLs like www.yoursite.com/xxxx for K2 items ( or any other extension in Joomla!). The only way to do this is to create menu links for each item or use a SEF extension like SH404SEF.

K2 Advanced SEF is designed to work when a resource ( a K2 item in your case ) is not resolved in any menu link ( there is no menu link to that item OR it's category ).
In that case instead of having menu links like component/k2/xxxx you have the option to either use the category alias or a custom alias to replace the "component/k2" part.

I just loaded v2.7 on my staging site - why is there no option to remove Prefix for Category URLs?

Hello Joe,

A prefix is needed in order to work properly. You can remove the prefix entirely by mapping the category into a menu item.

Ok - Thanks for the info

Is this a limitation for all non com__content extensions?

I wouldn't know actually.
It depends on how extensions are built.
