Tiki gives many opportunities for us to modify this SEFURL as much as we want. The following tips will help you in modifying SEFURL for print article that it becomes easier to understand. Follow the steps below.

1. Open file /tiki-sefurl.php. Insert the script below, exactly before the script if ($type == 'blog' && $prefs['feature_sefurl_title_blog'] == 'y' && empty($with_next)) {:
if ($type == 'print_article' && $prefs['feature_sefurl_title_article'] == 'y' && empty($with_next)) {
global $artlib;
include_once ('lib/articles/artlib.php');
if (preg_match('/articleId=([0-9]+)/', $tpl_output, $matches)) {
if (empty($title)) $title = $artlib->get_title($matches[1]);
$title = preg_replace(PATTERN_TO_CLEAN_TEXT, CLEAN_CHAR, $tikilib->take_away_accent($title));
$title = preg_replace('/' . CLEAN_CHAR . CLEAN_CHAR . '+/', '-', $title);
$title = preg_replace('/' . CLEAN_CHAR . '+$/', '', $title);
