My joomla version is 3.7.5. The home link in breadcrumbs is "domain/index.php". I want to remove the index.php part. How i can modify the code from breadcrumbs helper file to achive this?

$item->link = JRoute::_('index.php?Itemid=' . $home->id);
        array_unshift($crumbs, $item);

If i replace index.php with / the result is "domain/101 (menu id)".

  • thank you for your answer, but i don't want to remove index.php global. I want to remove it, only in breadcrumbs link for home page.

  • Ah I see. Perhaps just replace it using str_replace then? php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php

  • Do as @Lodder recommend - the use of .htaccess has so many advantages - both SEF, SEO and security

I replaced 'index.php?Itemid=' . $home->id with my domain and problem fixed. Unfortunately, (correct comment from FFrewin below) like all core hacks, with every joomla update, i must change the file again (can't use template override for helper.php files). Then i found mvc override plugin from joomla documentation and i made template override for mod_breadcrumbs/helper.php file. It works fine.

  • Note that if you have modified a core file, you will have to maintain this change when you update Joomla!, as most likely it will be overwritten by the updates.
