We're using a Google Custom Search Engine (Google CSE) module for our site search. I belive JoomSEF is keeping the module from displaying any results, as it did work before we installed JoomSEF.

How do we get the mod_googlecse_forum and mod_googlecse_results modules to display in the JoomSEF configuration under Site Modules to assign them to be skipped?

Feature Request: It would be useful to be able to manually add a list of exclusions for modules and even pages to not be rewritten by JoomSEF.

Thanks,

Christian

Hello,

Unfortunately, you cannot choose a module to be skipped, because modules does not have any custom links - URLs are distinguished by components. However, we are already planning to implement a feature to manually choose not to SEF link on per-URL basis in some future version.
Is the module using AJAX to display results? If it is, the problem will be probably in relative URL to AJAX script.

I don't believe the component uses AJAX.

This is the same Google Search component used for Joomla.org Forums.

Hi,

The module uses iframe to display results. I believe there is some problem with passing variables to Google or something like that when JoomSEF's enabled. We'll try to find the real problem with these modules in time.
You can also buy our support time at http://www.artio.net/en/eshop/support-services to have us debug the modules for you.

Are there any other Google Custom Search extensions that are compatible with JoomSEF?

We prefer using Google CSE for site search and compatibility is obviously a must.

If there isn't another extension compatible, we may have to drop JoomSEF.

Hi,

I'm sorry, but please, understand that we cannot monitor every available component for compatibility, so we don't know if there is a component similar to Google CSE compatible with JoomSEF.
Please, check if the module works with standard Joomla's SEO enabled (JoomSEF disabled).
