I am making a custom component and I dont want the name of the component on the URL when component loads.

The URL is coming like this :

http://example.com/component/componentName/view=viewName

But I don't want to show [component/componentName] in the URL.

Is there any way to hide this?? Or any method by which I can do this??

You can use .htaccess In joomla with apache rewrite feature.

  1. Rename the file htaccess.txt to .htaccess In root joomla folder;
  2. Enable Apache rewrite In global configuration In joomla admin area.

Let you know Goto backend -> Menus -> Add new menu item -> Here you can create the one menuitem with title and alias that alias name display in url. (or)
Try like this Goto backend -> System -> Global configuration -> Turn on the sef url.
