I've read all the posts EVERYWHERE about Joomsef and Duplicate URLs and nothing has helped. Here are my two non-sef urls:

This one is right
index.php?option=com_sobi2&catid=30&sobi2Id=639&sobi2Task=sobi2Details&Itemid=269

This one is wrong
index.php?option=com_sobi2&catid=1&sobi2Id=639&sobi2Task=sobi2Details&Itemid=269

And they both return the following URL:

gallery/latin/brazil/spicy-brazil-girl

Unfortunately, joomla decides to use the wrong one.

When I delete the incorrect one - joomla will not use the correct one - it returns a 404 instead. I have to unpublish the Sobi2 entry then republish it. Then the incorrect one is used again.

I will be creating many of these entries so I want to get this figured out.

Is there any way I can stop Joomsef from generating the catid=1

Really!!! 2 weeks and no reply. So, remind me, what is the advantage of paying for your software?

I don't think I have ever got a reply from anyone at your tech support. You do realize that I will NEVER purchase an Artio product ever again as long as I live, right?

Hi, first make sure you are using the latest versions of all the components. Then check that you have the second level cache disabled in SOBI2's general configuration, as it's usually causing problems.
