I know some of the Joomla users are looking for permalinks in joomla same with me. I’ve been looking this too several times but no luck until I found the solution from someone. I contacted him and asked how to put permalinks in joomla. Later I’ll post it here guys.

1. Login to your ftp and Rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.
2. Make sure that Mod_rewrite is working. Check that the line shown below in the file “apache/conf/httpd.conf” is uncommented. If necessary, uncomment the line and re-start the Apache web server.

3. In Global configuration, select yes to all three SEF options. The action of the three parameters is as follows:
- Search Engine Friendly URLs. Converts the URLs from the native Joomla! format to the SEF format.
- Use Apache mod_rewrite. Uses the Apache “mod_rewrite” function to eliminate the “index.php” portion of the URL. If you don’t want to use mod_rewrite, set this to “No” and don’t rename the htaccess.txt. The SEF URLs feature will still work. The only difference is that you will see “index.php” in the URL, for example, http://www.yoursite.org/index.php/faq.html.
- Add suffix to URLs. Adds “.html” to the end of URLs.
