Un elenco delle nostre estensioni preferite, in ordine alfabetico:

• Akeeba Backup (già JoomlaPack), a backup manager for both the php code and the database;
• JComments, a good 1.5 native comment manager, surely better than JoomlaComments;
• JoomFish, a complete solution for multiple language websites; the extension let you translate pratically everything (titles, contents, aliases, categories, menu items) and keeps track of the changes in the original articles, suggesting to update the out of date translations;
• Kunena (già Fireboard), un ottimo gestore di forum.

Suppose you have a website, www.mywebsite.com , running Joomla, version 1.5.5 or higher, with the following SEO Configuration: "friendly urls" feature enabled and "mod_rewrite" feature disabled.

Suppose that now, after some time and a long running history for your pages, you want to turn on the "mod_rewrite" feature, so that Joomla can remove the "index.php" string from all your urls. The problem is that both the new and the old urls are still valid and working at the same time, causing double indexing of the contents.

For an example, you have the following two urls for the same page, and you want the first one redirect to the second:

• www.mywebsite.com/index.php/search.html
• www.mywebsite.com/search.html

The solution is simple: make an automatic 301 redirect from all the old urls to the new ones. You can do it simply putting the following two lines of code into your .htaccess file, after the "RewriteBase /" declaration:

# Redirect for pre-mod_rewrite urls
RedirectMatch 301 /index.php/(.*) http://www.mywebsite.com/$1

Obviously, remember replacing "www.mywebsite.com" with your website url.
