Hello,

All my titles are wrong, they are the aliases of the articles. How can I fix this?

For instance, an article's title would appear like this:

car-insurance-for-women | car-insurance

It should be:

Car Insurance For Women | Car Insurance

If I can't change this, what files are responsible for generating the Titles so that I can go and edit them?

Thanks

By default it should grab the titles. Check to see of you have a some SEF extension (Sh404sef,Joomsef) on first and mess with that. I would re-upload k2 files.

I have Sh404sef installed, could this be the problem? I can't find a place where to edit K2 in Sh404sef, so I'm not sure what to change. Should I reinstall the plugin?

Ok, it is Sh404sef, I disabled it and my titles worked, so now I have to figure out how to configure Sh404sef!

there should be a plugin for k2 to work with sh404sef I'm not quite sure if there's anything that works properly available..

In the last version of K2 (2.1) the sh404 plugin is built in k2 component (location: /components/com_k2/sef_ext/), i have the same problem, but i dont know how i can change only the titles, NOT the URL, width the k2 sh404sef plugin...

sorry :-(

You can fix that by going to sh404SEF Configuration -> Plugins (tab) -> Use Title Alias (default is YES), should be NO.

Does not work, still the same problem. The Title Alias is being used as the Title, it should not be that way.

Yeah, i just installed sh404sef and i was reading the configuration. Now i have the same problem. Can someone help us?

Same here... i saw that at the end of com_k2/sef_ext/com_k2.php, the variable $title[] is set correctly, but somehow in the title i get aliases.
Could it be the template? I use a JoomlArt template and noticed some title functions. Nowadays, everyone messes with these data: template, components, plugins.
Anyone has any idea as to what causes this?
Thanks in advance

Anyone?

In SH404SEF, I disabled the "Activate meta management" setting, and now am getting proper page titles (without the lower case/without the dashes!).

I still have sh404sef enabled overall, but just disabled the meta management, and this works for me.

I have another Joomla plugin (SEO Generator) assisting with meta management.

Hey Jeff, thanks
I too had discovered that turning it off makes titles nice, BUT the titles of type: ARTICLE_TITLE|CATEGORYN|CATEGORY(N-1)|...||CATEGORY1
were quite nice and SEO rich.
The k2 sef extension generates these titles, but somehow somewhere sh404sef uses the alias... :(

With the risk of talking to myself, i keep posting, cause this issue is bad (aside from the lack of category level metadata):
In the demo the titles are fine: k2.joomlaworks.gr/demo-v2/items/Catalog/Digital
So why doesn't anyone explain to us how they did it? :(

I also had problems with Sh404sef. I tried to show a certain category as a menu item, but it would mess up and not grab the category correctly. I did make a post before this post started, but it was left unanswered. I moved on to AceSEF instead.

Hey guys
I discovered a way to at least have the article title displayed correctly (instead of the alias). The parent-category "train" isn't displayed but it's ok anyway.
Add in ROOT_J!/components/com_sh404sef/meta_ext/ an empty file called com_k2.php.
I assume without this one, sh404sef uses some default settings, maybe even com_content.
The k2 guys have created a com_k2.php file for the /sef_ext folder, that is why links are ok. But there's also one needed for the meta: this is the way sh404sef works...
if anyone knows how to do it... would be G.R.E.A.T. :)

thanks alot! it works =) BUT now i lost my META TAGS :(
anyone can write meta_ext for k2? please..
