Hi Andrew,

The file you mentioned "mod_fpslideshow.js" is not repeated and not hardcoded into the template. It is there because it is part of the module code inserted by Joomla when the module is called.

I really appreciate your input though and agree with what you are trying to say. I am so grateful to enthusiastic developers and just wish there were more! Great site by the way.

I have found the culprit line in the template code:

 
<!-- stardevelop.com Live Help International Copyright - All Rights Reserved //-->
<!-- BEGIN stardevelop.com Live Help Messenger Code - Copyright - NOT PERMITTED TO MODIFY IMAGE MAP/CODE/LINKS //-->
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="/livehelp/include/javascript.php?COOKIE=rcclubwebsites.co.uk&SERVER=http://www.rcclubwebsites.co.uk"></script>
<!-- END stardevelop.com Live Help Messenger Code - Copyright - NOT PERMITTED TO MODIFY IMAGE MAP/CODE/LINKS //-->
 


This code supports a live help system for my site. It means I can go back to them (stardevelop.com) and let them solve the problem. I can also now buy the adware free version of JoomSEF and get moving!

Thanks for all your help (all those invloved) and I hope this thread manages to help others (if not with the exact solution - at least with the methodology of troubleshooting).

:-)

Hi Andrew,

The repeated calls to the .js files you mention shouldn't be a problem and in fact aren't showing issue (in IE or Firefox error console) when operating normally. I believe this is mainly because they are the same files (although in different places). The repeats will be removed before going live anyway as you would be right in saying it is silly having two sets of calls to the same files (prototype/moofx). If the files that were repeated had the same name but slightly different code then I might see errors in normal operation.

However, I will remove them and retest.

I will then hide each js file in turn (while the htaccess file is changed - it isn't at the moment) to see if I can identify one single culprit.

My guess is the same as Jan's in that I suspect a js file might be relying on the url somehow. Although it confuses me as I can replicate the error by changing the htaccess file and keeping the SEF (core and JoomSEF) deactivated. It doesn't make sense (which makes me think I'm missing something obvious - but then we are talking about IE)

I'll post results here...

Sure, it is obviously a site in development but the address is www.rcclubwebsites.co.uk

htaccess is normal and SEF (core/joomsef) is not activated so you can see it without error

Let me know when you want me to change the htaccess file and activate SEF so the error shows.

Thanks for this, I'm really impressed

hi Jiří,

htaccess used the same as the example in the component with one exception (the base):

The following line is the only difference between core SEF and third party SEF:

 
RewriteRule (.*) index.php
 


IE version: 7.0.5730.11
Linux i686
PHP 4.4.4
DB 5.0.26
Apache 1.3.33
Joomla 1.0.11

The sponsors text just seemed strange - you would assume if JoomSEF was working then the entries would have been in the source code. Oh well.

Hi Andrew...

I don't have a slimbox implemetation but I due use Highslide JS. I can also confirm that with the following core SEF line activated (and the 3rd party one commented out) everything works fine (i.e. there are no existing js conflicts).

 
RewriteRule ^(content/|component/) index.php
 


I guess there might be some JS relying on the line in the htaccess that we're discussing? I know very little about how htaccess works so I don't know unfortunately.

Thanks all
James

ok

So the culprit seems to be the following line in the htaccess file:

RewriteRule (.*) index.php

Enabling this line whether JoomSEF is installed or not causes my site to show the error. I don't know why so if anyone does know then please post the answer here!

What is interesting is that with the htaccess file as it should be with JoomSEF installed, JoomSEF itself seems to work fine (apart from the error) except when I look for the adware code in the source it isn't there. I haven't modified any of the component's files. So it looks like the error I have encountered DOES seem to interfere with how JoomSEF works.

Strange but true...

Without this issue fixed or at least knowing why it happens I am reluctant to purchase the commercial version. And I really want it to work because it seems like a great extension!

GOT IT!!!

Tested both version with the same db but different file sets.

It was the htaccess file! Not sure how this could create the error myself and others have described (if I find out why I'll post it here).

Lots of people have looked at this post so hopefully this might help them.

I will also close the ticket I created.

I need to purchase the 'no adware' version of JoomSEF. I have a domain name that uses .co.uk and .com extensions but the only difference is language (US/UK spelling). Do I need to buy two licences or can I buy one (i.e. see stardevelop.com licence for example)?

Thanks,
James

I eat my words! That was quick!

I will double check but I can confirm this error only appeared after installing JoomSEF.

Perhaps there is something you have missed.

I made a backup before so I will do a comparison.

Got the same problem!

This really does highlight how poor the support for JoomSEF is.

My site started showing the error immedately after the install. I then de-activated the component - that didn't help.

I then uninstalled the component and now I'm left with a site that shows an error (it didn't go away). I know it's due to this component but I don't know why.

I really hope they look at this and as soon as possible. I would even pay for them to get it sorted (while feeling annoyed it doesn't work out of the box).

Let's keep a close eye on this post and see what happens!
