Hi there...
Have just discovered 'Menu Item Alias' but have become increasingly unclear what the warning message that appears when it is selected means..
I Have used menu type alias to link submenu items to the main menu items. Is this the wrong use, and should I leave menu alias empty in this case or not?

[Just to add that when the alias is left empty a date appears in that field when saved. The date initially was appearing in the URLs but this seems to have disappeared now]

Cheers
GWS

Hi
The alias determines the page URL when SEF is activated. Normally you leave it blank as joomla automatically fills it it (with a repeat of the title in lower case and no spaces).
For a sub menu you do not need to fill it in just link to the parent item.
The date filling in is a puzzle to me.
Have a look at these tutorials.
