URL Rewrite (Joomla 2.5)

Question

Good morning,

I would like to rewrite my URL in my Joomla 2.5.

Change this: http://www.idermo.es/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=119&Itemid=999

Into: http://www.idermo.es/custom

Is it possible with the htcaccess file?

Regards,

Thanks,

This is one of the basic joomla functions. You have to rename via ftp htaccess.txt to .htaccess in your joomla root directory and set:

System -> Global Configuration -> Search Engine Friendly Urls: Yes
System -> Global Configuration -> Use Url Rewriting: Yes

Then you have to connect your article into a menu item and set the alias to the value that your link want to be.

Good Luck!
