Hello,
I used the "Article (Related)" Field for my site. I have got some question about it:
- The URL to the related article is not nice: It is like "/myarticle?id=1:relatedarticle" instead of "/relatedarticle" or "/myarticle/relatedarticle". It does not make any difference, whether the field is in a fieldX or not.
- A related article can be linked from multiple sources. This creates different URLs for the same article. Is there a way to use canonical links to prevent "duplicate content"?
I use Joomla 3.3 and Seblod 3.3, Joomla SEF URLs and URL-Rewriting are enabled. Seblods SEF-Options are default (it does not make any difference, if I change the SEF value in Seblod Options)
Thank you in advance!
Sven
Hey Sven,
What is the desired path you want this article to be accessed through?
In Joomla, SEF usually requires the article to be either in a category tree
or assigned to a menu.
What is the scope, you want these related articles to be accessed in?
From what locations?
Hi! Thanks for your reply! This is the current situation:
I have some hiking-tracks and some accomodations. A track can have multiple accomodations and different tracks can link to the same accomodation.
Currently I only want to link from the tracks to the accomodations, not the other way around.
All accomodation-articles are assigned to a category called "accomodations".
The URLs of the tracks are fine, they are all assigned to a menu item:
hikingtracks/hikingtrackalias
This is what the URLs to the accomodations (related article) look like now:
hikingtracks/hikingtrackalias?id=1:accomodationalias
I would prefer URLs like this. Without assigning the accomodations to a menu, if possible:
accomodations/accomodationalias
I tried to assign the accomodations to a menu item to check, if this would give me better URLs, but it did not change anything.

OK, I could solve this:
- First I created a list type and created a menu item linking to this list
- In the seblod configuration I changed the Site/SEF-setting to "/alias (safe)"
- in the settings of my related article field I clicked on the little blue "plus" icon right of the display settings. (display was set to "link")
- There I changed the SEF URLs to "/alias (safe)" and chosed the correct menu item, which I created in the first step.
