Router
MijoSEF offers 3 types of URL rewriting and you are free to choose the router that best suits you:
1. MijoSEF extension (recommended)
2. Component's router ( file written by the proper component developer(s) )
3. MijoSEF basic router

If you install a new extension, the router will be set automatically to MijoSEF extension router type (the recommended one). Component's router file is written by the proper component developer(s). You can also use MijoSEF basic router or if you don't want to rewrite URLs for any component you can select the last option, "Disable SEF", so that URLs will remain as the default Joomla! style.

Custom Prefix
If you have pointed your component to a lot of menu items but you want one prefix to be prepended, enter the prefix you prefer to use in this field.

Skip prefix / menu
You can also skip the menu title or prefix so the URLs will start directly with category name.


Extensions Parameters

As you can see there are six tabs of options. URL tab has 2 parts, "Extension Specific Parameters" and "Common Parameters". Each extension is made according the component that represent. In this way, "Extension Specific Parameters" part is different for each extension. On the other hand, the second one (Common Parameters) and other tabs are same for all extensions.

After you got a backup of MijoSEF URLs, Metadata, Sitemap, Tags ,Internal Links or Social Bookmarks you can easily restore them. At the same time you can migrate AceSEF / JoomSEF / sh404SEF SEF URLs & Metadata to MijoSEF.

mijosot restore migrate


On Restore / Migrate page of MijoSEF we can see 6 parts. 2 for MijoSEF, 1 for AceSEF, 1 for JoomSEF, 1 for sh404SEF and 1 for Joomla! SEF (info). Getting a backup of MijoSEF is too easy, also restoring.  You can migrate SEF URLs and Meta tags of AceSEF & JoomSEF from one place, but for sh404SEF you have to migrate each of them from different places.

Firstly let’s see how can we get the files we want to import.

MijoSEF
MijoSEF have many ways to export files. Go to Control Panel => Restore / Migrate , here you can get a backup of  all files for each feature, just by clicking on his own button. At the same time, you can go to URLs, Metadata, Sitemap, Tags, Internal Links or Social Bookmarks, select or filter records, later select "Backup" from the right-top select-box and click on Apply. After that, You will get files like mijosef_urls.sql for SEF URLs, or mijosef_metadata.sql for Metadata, or mijosef_sitemap.sqlfor Sitemap etc.

AceSEF
Go to Control Panel => Restore / Migrate , here you can get a backup of  all files for each feature, just by clicking on his own button. At the same time, you can go to URLs, Metadata, Sitemap, Tags, Internal Links or Social Bookmarks, select or filter records, later select "Backup" from the right-top select-box and click on Apply. After that, You will get files like acesef_urls.sql for SEF URLs, or acesef_metadata.sql for Metadata, or acesef_sitemap.sql for Sitemap etc.

JoomSEF
Go to “Manage SEF URLs” from JoomSEF Control Panel. Here you can select one by one each URL and click on “Export Selected” or you can filter URLs then click on “Export All Filtered” and the file will be downloaded as “joomsef_custom_urls.sql”.

sh404SEF
For sh404SEF URLs you should go to control panel, click on "Import/Export URLs" icon then click on "Export redirections" and the file will be downloaded as “sh404SEF_sef_urls.csv”.
For sh404SEF Meta Tags you should go to control panel, click on "Meta tags" icon then click on "Import/ export META" in the right top and at least click on "Export Meta tags" button then file will be downloaded as “sh404SEF_meta.csv”.

Migrating
Each exported file should be installed from his own place and clicking on the right button. MijoSEF backuped files should be installed only from MijoSEF part, don't try to install from the other parts. The same rule for other components' files.
JoomSEF files can be instaled from the same button, sh404SEF SEF URLs & Metadata files should be installed from their own buttons.

URLs

http://www.miwisoft.com/support/docs/mijosef/user-manual/
Here we are in the URL management section where you can add, edit, publish, lock deletion, delete, block rewrite and export each URL.
URLs page has 10 parts, each part does different job.


SEF URLs


mijosoft SEF URLs.png mijosoft Duplicated URLs

Published
If you have an URL that is moved to another page and you can't prevent the generation of the old (moved) URL then you can unpublish the old one so the New URL will be active.

Used (Duplicated URLs Management)
As mentioned in the Configuration section, with this function you can manage same URLs. As you can see in the screen above some identical URLs are marked. In the Used column one has a solid star and other has a half solid star. The solid star means that this Real URL will be used for this SEF URL. As you can see it is very easy to manage duplicated URLs.
This function is also important for Red URLs. Take a look at Terminology article about Red URLs.

mijosoft edit URLs

Here you can do all functions of MijoSEF just for the URLs you opened to edit. You can edit SEF & Real URL, Metadata, Sitemap, Tags, Internal Links and Social Bookmarks for one URL. Also you can see the sorce of the URL.

Save & Moved
This offers you to create a Moved URL automaticly if you are changing the SEF URL but because of the old SEF URL has been indexed by spiders you want to create a 301 redirection to the new one.


Moved URLs (301 redirects)

The New, Change, Publish, Delete etc actions has the same functionalities as in SEF URLs section. Creating/editing a Moved URL is very simple, just enter the old URL into From URL field and the new URL into To URL field. MijoSEF will create a 301 redirection from the old to the new URL. You can also redirect to an URL not in your site by prepending http:// in front of the To URL.

Note 1 : Do not enter your domain into the "From URL" field.
Note 2 : If the From URL is still being generated by MijoSEF in SEF URLs, Custom URLs or 404 URLs sections, do not delete but unPublish  or Trash  it. Both URLs must be only SEF, not Real URL.


Quick Edit

mijosoft quickedit URLs
