to 1) I added to plugins/search/content.php a line for $where option AND catid IN (7,12,9)... and those categories are ignored in basic search. But after implementing Artio SEF, this was overwritten by Artio SEF search plugin.

I really need to restrict the search, because the search is now performed also in categories, where are just for other contet supporting articles.

Hallo,

I just updated to version 3.5.5 and I have some questions to the com_search.

1) How can I exclude some categories from search results? (I put it into joomla's com_search, but that isnt working anymore and now there it is mentioned in news, that it should be possible). For example - I need to exclude categories with ID: 7,12, 19

2) I am using JoomFish, how can I restric JoomSEF search to only the active language?

Thank you for your answers.

Best, Etrimon

OK. Ill try it this way.

So a subquestion: when is going to be released the new version? (the most important issue for me is the search restriction mentioned in my first post of this topic).

Thank you very much for your help and support:-)

First of all = simple parametr "layout=default" worked fine.

I tried to do this like said in this thread:

www.artio.net/support-forums/joomsef-pay...ude-some-urls/page-2

So I tried all this:

1. (layout=default)\|(view=category&itemid17)

2. layout=default\|view=category&itemid17

3. layout=default|view=category&itemid17

all this said to me after saving: Warning: html_entity_decode() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in .../html/libraries/joomla/html/parameter/element/text.php on line 45

and did not save any parametr.

What am I doing wrong?

And is there a possibility to filter more URLs this way?

For example I would like to add this expression to it: view=category&Itemid=17

Hallo,

I have a quesiton.

Please, how to filter all links, that use layout=default in their non-sef links?

And maybe one question more - I added filter to some categories in joomla search component, but Artio search component ignores it. How to exclude some categories from the search?

Thank you very much!

Why is ArtioSEF changing basic contact url to homepage anyway?

Hello,

I want to buy a the licenced version of ArtioSEF, so I first tried to install free edition onto my site. Everything is running great, it is a really very user-friendly component, but...

But when I go to my contact form and I do not fill all required fields and try to send it, the main url changes to the url of home page and it also shows the content of the homepage under the contact form. Also the contact form looses the assignment to the menu module, that shold be shown in left position of it.

I tried to switch on and off all settings, but none of them solved the problem.

So I would like to ask, if there is a solution for this problem? If not, then it is a pity and I do not need to buy it.

Thank you for your answer.
