I've noticed this also occurs for resent activation links etc...


forgot-password/activate.html
index.php?option=com_user&activation=cc793ed472b070b34dcd1d24e682a1e7&task=activate

Hi,

I'm having a problem whereby a overhauling SEF link causes any new registered activation links to become truncated. Please see below;

'user/activate.html' seems to be the problem as this is the link sent in the activation email;

Hello Paul Gilbert,

Thank you for registering at MMA Social Network - MMA Videos - UFC News - Fight Cards - Forum - Blogs. Your account is created and must be activated before you can log in.
To activate the account, click on the following link or copy-&-paste it in your browser:
www.mmaentry.com/user/activate.html


I need to basically make sure JoomSEF disregards this link and retains the autmated unique Joomla link created for traditional user activation. e.g index.php?option=com_user&activation=f5a762183be8f5b8c4f3690b4902f17e&task=activate


Please help as I believe this has been effecting many user signups.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi,

Due to the number of my SEF Links, it takes a while for the site to process and load ALL of them, when I clicked 'Manage SEF Links' it tries to load them ALL and often times out.

I basically need to default it so that it lists no more than say 100 per page.


How can I do this?


Kind Regards,

Paul

Hi,

I re-imported the old database and everthing thing is working in order now.


Thanks,

Paul

Hi,

I had JoomSef setup perfectuly, all links in place and setup on the site www.mmaentry.com/v1

A freelancer altered the Apache on the server and installed mod_deflate (trying to improve site speed)... he also overwrote the .htaccess file and use this instead :


#LoadModule expires_module modules/mod_expires.so
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 10 years"

#Site - Global Configuration - Server - GZIP Page Compression - Yes
#LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/x-icon
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/png

None of the menu links were working based on the old new JoomSef setup, so I purged the links not knowing the .htaccess file had been changed.

As it stands, I have combined both .htaccess files into one. JoomSef now works, but the links are totally messed up and out of sync, with new links generated.

I have now updated to 3.8.1 ... How can I revert to the original JoomSef URL setup?.. what are the correct or new .htaccess settings?


I look forward to any replies,


Paul
