I would like to remove article id's from Joomla 3.4.3 urls; example.com/howto/428-how-to-play-android-games-on-your-pc
I have found following from other threads;
Replace this:
$advanced = $params->get('sef_advanced_link', 0);
With this:
$advanced = $params->get('sef_advanced_link', 1);
Step 3
You want to edit your router.php file:
- From: ->where($db->quoteName(‘alias’) . ‘ = ‘ . $db->quote($db->quote($segment)));
- To: ->where($db->quoteName(‘alias’) . ‘ = ‘ . $db->quote($segment));
My question is; will above steps work on Joomla 3.4.3? What if Joomla updates in future? Will I need to again edit router.php? Will it destroy url structure, when i change after Joomla update? Will it effect SEO?
I have installed quick-starter of Joomla template and now wants to live site before removing id's from urls. I have created articles in Joomla component as I don't want to go with k2. Can somebody recommend me permanent solution which should not break url structure or effect on SEO/
