Thank you for your support!

For anyone else that has this issue, I also had to perform the following steps to get everything working properly:

1. Add cpage as a global non-SEF variable in JoomSEF settings
2. In JoomSEF extension manager, set JomComment to use default Joomla SEF router
3. In JoomSEF click 'Manage SEF URLs' and do a search on the real url for any which include cpage. Delete all filtered to remove any stale Jomcomment variables.
4. Delete both JoomSEF cache and Joomla cache. Not sure if this step is necessary

After performing the above, and editing the code per david's post, JoomSEF and JomComment work very nicely with each other. Thanks again!

You are correct, sorry about that. Screenshot edited and inserted above.

Jan, Thank you for your response.

Within the JomComment component, pagination adds links, such as

< 1 2 3 4 >

With JoomSEF turned on, these links turn into non-usable ones, they point to a root folder which does not exist.

JoomSEF seems to be re-writing these urls incorrectly, but without knowing the underlying system it is hard to say.

Any ideas?

Hello,

I am having an issue with JomComment and Pagination in while using JoomSEF. I am not sure if the error is with JomComment or JoomSEF, but since this problem doesn't exist when you turn off JoomSEF I thought I would start here.

We have a site, where the SEF url for example is



the real url is:



JomComment wants to have a url like this:



However, all links are changed to:



Note that the subdirectory is taken off. Checking the SEF urls, it is adding this entry via JRoute



note that the location of the cpage variable is off.

I've tried changing the settings on the component in JoomSEF and exclude cpage as a variable to SEF but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Hello, happy paying user here! :)

JoomSEF is working great for me. I run a large site and it really works well - love the latest updates.

However, since I have so much content, there are 'dead links' sprinkled throughout my site. JoomSEF faithfully displays the 404 error message.

This works, but does not work well for the user or the site admin. What I've been doing is going back through the 404 logs and adding custom redirects for the 404 links. However, what I would like to do is find the original content and correct the link to the new location.

I could do this by hand, but by this point there is a lot of obscure content that needs to be fixed. This could be handled by Joomsef.

For example, all content on our old site (using JoomSEF) used the .html extension. We made the decision to remove that in the current site when we upgraded Joomla 1.0 to 1.5. We imported as many of the old SEF pointers as we could but some are still missing. So for example on some pages, /information/article.html should be /information/article but JoomSEF doesn't know this and throws a 404.

So I guess my points are below, and I would either like to know how to do them currently in JoomSEF or request them as features in a future release:

1. Add 'Referrer' into the JoomlaSEF 404 Logs, to help admin troubleshoot the originating pages
2. Add 'smart' replacement, for example try to find the entry w/o extension
3. Add options to the 404 page, such as "Report this 404 to admin" which would then email the 404 error, referrer and other information to the admin.

Optionally, and I know this would require a considerate amount of coding, would be to display a 404 error page but then say "Were you looking for this page?" and a link to the content based on keywords in the url.

Thank you for your help!

David,

Try the fix located here:

I'm not sure if this is a native bug in Joomla or something with the ArtioSEF plugin, but this fix worked for me!
