Exactly as you say. So maybe the code still needs to be adjusted at other place.
In principle, the problem is that VM adds &xxx to and already SEFed URL, which is wrong, as it should be - as oyu have said correctly - ?xxxx or the SEF process needs to be done AFTER the non-SEO link is complete.

Have you found a permanent solution for this problem?

No - despite my best efforts - the order information page still produces the incorrect URLs. I do not know how to change the process to interrupt the generation of the wrong codes...

I remember this is a pain, as the code of VirtueMart is a bit messsy. Also, I think the similar code is at two different places (order details view & email generation). Also, if using own themes, make sure the code is not dependent on the theme.

I have this problem too.


Since I started to use the joomsef virtuemart extension my clients cannot download purchased products.
The joomsef virtuemart extension is a paid extension.
What does this extension do with the downloadpaths? I do not want to SEF the downloadpaths of my products. I do not want the downloadpaths of my products to be found by search engines.
Exclude the downloadpaths of virtuemart products from SEF. That should not be hard to do.

Stating that you cannot fix this because VM is messy is too easy. Products can be downloaded when I turn off the joomsef VM extension and cannot be downloaded when I turn the extension on. Don't blame that on VM.
