When SEF is enabled, automatically the DEVL Route option will be added to the parameters of a menu-item.
Whatever you enter in the textfield will be your URI for the menu-item.
EG: your site is "www.myjoomla.com" and you enter "my-page" as the DEVL Route, then your URI for that specific menu-item will become:
www.myjoomla.com/my-page
Also if the plugin encounters the exact link to the menu-item, it will automatically be converted to your custom URI.
Release notes v0.6
Bugfixes:
* Pagination links no longer mistakenly point to the index.
* Menu-item parameters are now being passed properly.
* Fixed an error in the addToMenu function.
I was developing a system plugin for onafterinitialise event, but finding no solution how to do so. With the help of this plugin, I am able to do.
Thanks for good work.
Thanks for good work.
I specialise in SEO & Joomla!
The component works exceptionally well with the code being inspired and well written.
I'm able to change this code to my needs and see no flaws in both it's design and construction.
The plug-in does not guard against the possibility of duplicate custom URL's being entered by the user but that's OK. For myself, I will be generating the data table contents to drive this component.
This is an exceptionally good piece of work in a critical core part of the functionality of any site.
You have my full appreciation and admiration.
I expect to use this component in over 50 sites.

Indeed, there is no check against duplicate entries.
But it is a good idea tho, and I will have a look to add this feature as soon as I have some free time on my hands.
Thank you for your kind words and your suggestions.
Glad to hear DEVL Route is of help to you.

Hi, nice extension. I was looking for something to replace some links on the whole site by their shortened nicer versions and this is the only extension that does it without need to install huge SEO components (sh404, artio sef). All other small extensions just redirect old links to new ones, but this extension really replaces all links on the whole site.
The only thing I am missing is support for JoomFish, because this way I cannot specify, which language version of the menu item should the alias lead to.
But anyway, great extension, thanks for it.

Hi ziki,
I'm pleased to hear that you like my extension.
I will check for a later version how easy it would be to implement JoomFish support.
Grtz,

Thank you for your usfull plugin which does support unicode simbols!
But one thing (SEF is enabled): when I assign my custom URI to menu item of category view which has a lot of articles in it, and someone opens this view on next or prev pages, the URIs of pages are broken.

Hi Aero-Fit,
For now the URI has to be exactly the same to be recognised.
But I will take your issue into account for a next version of the plugin.
Thank you for your comments.
