Hello,
I was a very happy user off JoomSEF for a long time. But, now i Have a problem.

When i link to a category blog with one column layout it is coming up into a two colums layout with one leadingitem in one column. But i want to see all articles in one collumn.
My settings are all correct for the menuitem
It is only happening when i use JoomSEF.
Purging the SEF url's and let the system automatic create new items is not the solution.

Is there a solution for this problem ?

I have the same error. Menu link blog set to 1 column. two columns showing. everything goes to one column, normal, when artio sef is disabled. did I spend some time tracking this to sef? Yes! I've tried a host of sef settings without success.

Grantiago,

I fixed my problem. I took de blog.php file from the Beez template (attachement) end i made in my template the following changes. In the template go to the html directory.
Create the com_content directory
In this directory create the category directory
Into this directory is uploaded the blog.php
After that my problem was fixed.
If you try it, please let me know if this was helping you to fix your problem.
Copy the text after this en save it as blog.php

you can get it to work, if you can call it that, by going to extensions and then the content ext and set it to the joomla default router. wow! that is not impressive.

thanks. I've got a copy and will look at it tomorrow. my template already has the dir structure and blog.php file. interesting it looks to be exactly like the joomla beez version but they stamped their license and copy all over it. hmmm.

anyway, with the extension set to the joomla default router the urls are decent enough. but when I have to do that I have to question why even bother with another sef com?

thanks again.
