Good day,
I have inherited a very old Joomla site - and the are wanting URL updates for a custom module that was developed for them.
The URL's currently contain car-rental-branch - which they want amended to car-rental.
I cannot for the life of me [a wordpress dev] find where one would edit that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Joomla works with internal (for example /index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=42) and external SEF URLs (/some-name). The SEF URLs are created via the menu, and the "alias" from each Menu Item and/or article is used to create the URL.
A proper way to create SEF URLs in Joomla components/modules/plugins is to use the JRoute method (or more modern: Route + namespace Joomla\CMS\Router\Route).
If your module has been programmed in a proper way, it will use that (J)Route method. And it will use the menu structure + "alias" of menu items or articles.
In recent versions of Joomla 3 + 4 you can search all menu items for alias "car-rental-branch" and change the alias to "car-rental". Or if it's an article that does not have a menu item, check the Content > Articles.
When you change the alias of a menu item, the URL will change accordingly. So you might want to add a redirection in Components > Redirects to redirect traffic on the old URL to the new URL.
