SEO URL Optimization

Hello,

I'm currently looking at swiching from DocMan to EDocMan mainly because the outrages pricing of Docman.

EDocman seems to be able to do everything need however I'd like to know if I can customize its URLs so they remain the same as the existing ones.

Existing URL structure is something this like:
www.mysite.com /downloads/cisco-product-datasheets-a-guides.html etc.

I'd like to keep /downloads/cisco-product-datasheets-a-guides.html the same with EDocman. The same applies for all other download categories in the site.

Looking forward to your reply.

Thank you,

Hi Chris,
You can try to open file: root > components > com_edocman > router.php
Find: and remove it.
And then, using PHPMyAdmin to empty MySQL Table: #__edocman_urls
After that, you can check the sef urls in Edocman to see whether if the issue is solved
Thanks

Dang, I'm guessing your product inserts its own URL category which is not customizable?

I'm trying to avoid changing code etc in files otherwise I'll need to make changes every time I update EDocman! I've ditched jDownloads (free) for this same reason.

Is there any other way around this or any reason why basic SEO hasn't been implemented?

Thank you.

Hi Chris,
Currently, Edocman only has configure option to add All categories or Last Category in the Sef urls. In next version, we will add option to Disable inserting Category aliases into the sef links to document.
Currently, if you need this feature, you can raise new ticket and send your site url with super admin account. I will help you to make the modification.
Thanks
