Hi,

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



1 0 forgot-password/activate.html index.php?option=com_user&activation=cc793ed472b070b34dcd1d24e682a1e7&task=activate

'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:

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

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


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

Hello,
this should be easy to solve by adding "activation" variable to the list of non-sef variables. (in JoomSEF configuration)

Hello,

Please make sure you are using the latest version of JoomSEF. I've just tested this problem and were not able to replicate it - the "activation" variable is already treated as non-SEF. Also make sure to manually delete all the previously created wrong SEF URLs in JoomSEF's URLs manager.
