Question Change the categories tab URL

Hey guys,

We have category view set as default view. The main link to the forum is /Forums/ but when inside the forum, the url /Forums/?func=listcat is shown.

The URL works just fine but it's a duplicate of /Forums/ is there a way for me to manually fix this URL?

Additionally I'd like to use the word "categories" from the page title and just have it display "Blah blah forums"

Many thanks,

Paul

Checking my indexed URL's I also have Forums/?catid=7&func=listcat for every single category I have, which leads to the forum category index which is obviously again duplicated over and over. How can I prevent this?

Well it's been 5 days and no reply. So hopefully a quick bump may help.

I'd really appreciate some help with this.

Paul

This is the default way that a Kunena URL appears - changing this by means hacking the source code would be quite a lot of work. Have you tried using the Joomla! SEF component it works very well with Kunena?

Please try and explain this one again

Perhaps what I wrote yesterday, on an almost-identical situation, would work for you: see How to change browser window title .

I fixed the title issue, basically it said the word categories in the page title, before the site name. Which wasn't helping with the keywords we were trying to target.

I am using SEF, but it doesn't change the url of the categories tab, it still goes to /forum/listcat or whatever, which is different to the URL in our menu which leads to just /forum/ I am hoping you can point me toward the file that links to /forum/listcat so that I can manually edit it.
