Joomla CMS has built-in functionality for Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

To turn on the SEO settings for Joomla CMS:

1)  Rename the htaccess.txt to .htaccess at your Joomla directory
2)  Log in Joomla Administrator
3)  At Site, Global Configuration
4)  SEO Settings, then select “Yes” to enable:

• Search Engine Friendly URLs”
• use Apache mod_rewrite

If found the subpages links or URLs not working after enabled, you can revert back the original settings.

For manually revert back if you unable to login the Joomla Admin interface:

1)  Open your Filemanager or FTP client
2)  Goto your Joomla CMS directory
3)  Rename .htaccess back to htaccess.txt
4)  Edit configuration.php

$mosConfig_sef = ‘0′; #This is to disable

5) Save the file.

After installed the VirtueMart on Joomla CMS, you will see a blue logo and its link at the bottom of every page.

However VirtueMart is allowed you to remove or hide the footer.  You just need to login the Joomla Administration site, goto Components >> Virtuemart >> Configuration >> Site >> Untick (do not select) “Show footer”. Then Save or Apply it.  The footer will be disappeared.

Now in Joomla 1.5, you can easily remove the “Joomla! is Free Software released under the GNU/GPL License.” from the default footer.

Just go to Administrator Control Panel >> Extensions >> Module Manager and “unpublish” the “footer module“.

To modify the message to something else
For english website go to the language/en-GB/ directory, edit “en-GB.mod_footer.ini” and change:

FOOTER_LINE1=
FOOTER_LINE2=

However some Joomla! footer need manually edit at default page which located at “templates” directory and normally named as:

• index.php
• cpanel.php (for administrator)

If you install a fresh Joomla! 1.5, you will see the “Welcome to the Frontpage” title display on your Frontpage. Sometimes, it is difficult to find where to modify this title text.

The steps will be as below:

1. Login to Administration area
2. Menus – Main Menu* (Menu Item Manager: mainmenu).
3. Click to edit “Home” (Menu Item: Edit).
4. Click on “Parameters System” and change or delete the Page title.
5. If you change the Page title, changed title will be displayed on your Frontpage as a title.
6. If you delete the Page title, Menu link will be displayed on your Frontpage as a title (in the present case ‘Home’ will be displayed as title, because ‘Home’ is the name of the link to the Frontpage).
7. If you don’t want to display any title, set Show Page Title below Page title parameter to ‘No’.
8. Finally, just save the changes.

If you are getting this error at Joomla 1.5.x Admin Extension Manager (Extensions > Install/Uninstall > Browse… > Upload File & Install) :
