Hello to everybody,

I would like to ask if you could help me with this.

www.sitename.com/test-gallery/indke....

I would like to remove /test-gallery/ or at least change its name to /gallery/

Thank you in advance for the help/clarification

Hi there,

of course, we all do want nice URLs for our Gallery2 galleries, and so do I. I just started using SEF URLs and decided after some reading for Artio JoomSEF. I must say I like it. But when it comes to the Gallery2 bridge this seems to be a tough issue. But then the least thing is that you can use it without the nice URLs, but you can use your gallery. I didn't get this to work until Benson's post. Thanks a lot. Now, it works, but:

my page is in English and German with Joomfish. In German all works fine with old style SEF URLs and the look I want (just the Siriux theme). If you switch to English - which is the default language - it seems to be unable to load the CSS file from Gallery2. It displays with Joomla style CSS. Did anyone else have this strange behaviour? Any solution proposal?
Edit: after posting I returned to my site and gave it another try. It works now. Weird, but good :). Seemed to need its time. There was only one more small issue, but I don't if that's JoomSEF's fault. While browsing the gallery when switching the language you get back to the gallery's root instead of staying at the album/picture and just language switching. Any ideas?

The next step of course should be nice SEF gallery2 URLs like with the short URL plugin. The plugin itself shouldn't be needed for this, right? But anyone who knows how to do this could write the appropriate JoomSEF plugin. There are so many out there longing for it.

Cheers,

Hi guys,

With G2Bridge as we all know there is a little problem when activating mod_rewrite (clicking on any link in embedded Gallery takes you back Home).

There's a guy, Steven J. Rees, website http://sjr.greatsouthernwines.com, who made a SEF extension for SEF Advance for Gallery2 Embedded component extension v1.0.

When I tried putting it into the G2Bridge component directory in Joomla and then activating ARTIO JoomSEF for Gallery, I obtained URLs like
/gallery/?g2_Itemid=3395 which are still a whole lot better then the standard Joomla SEF which we get (with ARTIO for Gallery set to nocache) which makes links like /option,com_gallery2/Itemid,49/lang,en/?g2_itemId=18

In short, everything worked fine with that file and ARTIO JoomSEF switched on for Gallery2, except for a small but all important glitch: no more breadcrumbs.
Breadcrumbs are really needed on my site, so I refrained after a few tries.

I have no knowledge of the way either SEF Advance or ARTIO JoomSEF work for constructing or adapting this sef_ext.php for use with ARTIO JoomSEF.

Can anyone give me any pointers on how to adapt this (or at least give it a try) so that we can finally have nice Gallery URLs with ARTIO JoomSEF? It's something I have been wrestling with for more than a year now...

Thanks in advance for any help or pointers.
