Hey guys i recently installed EasyBlog, and JoomSEF creates urls like

/com-sef-config/blog/myblog?limit=-2

when i really only want it to be like

/blog/myblog?limit=-2

can you please help me to fix this?

Hi,

Could you please post the Real URL stored for "com-sef-config/blog/myblog" in JoomSEF's URLs Manager?
Thank you.

Also what versions of Joomla and JoomSEF do you use? Do you also have the EasyBlog extension for JoomSEF installed? What is your Active Handler for EasyBlog in JoomSEF's Extensions Manager?

Hi there, sure thing the url is

index.php?option=com_easyblog&limit=-2&view=myblog&Itemid=476

Joomla 3.2.3, JoomSEF 4.5.1 Professional, I do have the Easyblog JoomSEF Extension installed atm the handler is set to JoomSEF basic rewriting which produces a URL like this: /2/myblog (slightly better than com-sef-config but still not ideal), thanks for your help, do u want to have a look in my admin area?

Can u show me how to set it up so it displays /blog/myblog

When i changed the handler inside the EasyBlog Extension for JoomSEF to JoomSEF handler the url produced is:

/com-sef-config/blog/myblog?limit=-2

Incidentally this url above is not in the Manage SEF urls list?

I have tried every combination, of overiding the menu ItemID, adding the menu title to the url, adding a custom menu title to the url, none of it works, or even ads anything to the url.

I think this falls into the same category of the JomSocial Extension, which i paid for but now i have to turn it off or my site will die with broken database :/ i have to do restore more than once now :/

When i ask JomSocial what the problem was and gave them access to my site backend they say they couldnt find a problem, and then 5 mins after they say its all fine, my site is down with dead database, and then they say furthermore that your JomSocial Extension is not compatible with JomSocial.

Anyway i am going off topic, lets fix the problem at hand, something else that is really quite strange, and i suggest its not expected behaviour; is when i go into Manage Extensions, inside JoomSEF admin area, in the lower part of the page the Easyblog lists:

EasyBlog - - Component's router

BUT!!!! I just set this, to JoomSEF Handler, so i go click on EasyBlog to set it correctly, and low and behold, inside Extension Configuration, the Handler *IS* set to Handling "JoomSEF Handler".

Sorry about making so many posts!! But here is another thing that has happen now that is not expected behaviour, so after re-trying all these combinations of settings, i went back into the easyblog extension for joomsef and set it to basic JoomSEF rewriting, i click NO to add menu title to url (thats all i wanted to begin with) and i turn OFF the itemID override and i go and set EasyBlog url to "Simple", then purge my SEF urls and reload the home page and now my blog link has been rewritten to:

/blog/myblog/2

!!! wow its kinda close to what i wanted it to be now :D *grin* i have to say tho, i have no freeking idea how i managed to get it to work, maybe i use the magic combination of settings in a certain sequence to make it work, i dont know!

Each time i try a diff combination and i have com-sef-config url i go into URL management and the url is not listed which makes me think maybe something else is responsible?? omg its so weird, very hard to fault find this stuff with so many diff frameworks all speaking to each other, you know i also activated my URL error logging and this entire time the log is blank.
