Found the answer for the first issue!

It was in the CB Login MODULE... There was a line in the link there for where to direct after login... Wow, is that hard to find unless you know about it!

Anyway, I changed that to the SEF url and it is working... So nevermind about that one!

I guess all the other white pages will have to be hunted down one at a time. Please ignore my top question in that case.

The Second one still concerns me though. Got any idea of how to get it done quick and easily?

Thanks,
Luke

ad 2) Yes, I've got cacheing on, and yes, I can confirm that the link is being created SEFed already.

The main problem is clearly the old links I've got in joomla somewhere that I can't find to remove. I went through every item on the main menu, and if they were a content item I could usually add a SEF link like from:

URL: index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=

In the menu panel to to

--> my_content_page.html

However some links aren't directly on the menu, and those are the ones I can't find to change.

The worst one I really want to fix yesterday is my landing page. Right now as soon as people log into my membership site they get a blank, white page because they are being redirected to content/view/5/6, which was once the name for a welcome page static content item but is now named by joomSEF.

Since the link to it on the main menu is showing up correctly and is working fine, the link that my login process is using simply isn't the same one. But where else could it be?

I've looked all through my global config, my CB config, and other places... I'm even searching the forum at Joomla.org... I can't find the landing page URL anywhere except when it's the top-most menu item, which it clearly isn't. (I suspect this is CommBuilder's fault but I've been over all those settings fifty times now...)

Anyway, this is one of many white screens, so maybe this isn't CB's doing. I'm just lost. Any clues?


2) I really need to get one of those special extensions, like you mentioned, to create the URLs like \"reviews/slug-name.html\" as it is first posted. Do you think that would be a quick and easy job that I could have someone do in a couple of days for a small price, or would it be a big job? The Guys over at MojoBlog have little to no experience with JoomSEF, so I kind of doubt they can create it any time soon.

Thanks,

Ah, good to here from you... I really didn't want to uninstall.

From those 3 choices I'd guess my main issue is #2... The menu hard-wired links.

If I go into my admin panel MainMenu for instance and look at the location of a component item, it is like you say, but I don't seem to be able to change it... Wrapper links and URL links it will allow me to edit right there, but not in component item links.

I guess it is not vital to make the main component pages SEF, many are behind a closed membership area anyway. I'd really like to know my options though, such as if there is a way to delete and re-add them as SEF urls, or if I can just have JoomSEF set to ignore those pages altogether.

As for the MojoBlog, It's working great if I use custom URLs... So right when I post a new one it will create an entry named \"reviews/4.html\" - and then I run into JoomSEF and change that really fast to \"reviews/slug-name.html\" instead. -Unfortunately I think the automatic Pinging functionality is telling all those ping sites like technorati to come and look at 3.html however... So if you've got an idea of how to fix that problem I'd be very thankful.

OK, so we're on Day Four and no one is answering anything at all. The only time Admins have even logged on in that time is to ASK A USER FOR HELP... !

If Artio's aim is to make any form of income at all, I would advise them to actually speak to us, the prospective clients. Otherwise it appears Artio's aim is to go out of business.

My problem is quite minor and I know they'd be able to help me... It's a shame that I'm going to have to uninstall JoomSef this short of being able to use it forever.

Artio's loss... I've never yet used a product like this without donating to it's developers.

I just can't believe that the word \"Support\" is part of the path to this forum... They aren't answering ANYONEs cries for help here!

I really need your help here... I have been over the documentation and can't find a word about this, even though it's clearly something that should be covered well in your FAQs and elsewhere.

I'll make it easier so others might know the answer:

How do I redirect an url like this:

content/view/5/6

to go to my sef page?

Please, anyone?

I've just installed the latest version of JoomSEF on my 1.0.13 Joomla existing community.

I read all the documentation, and have worked all all bugs except for one that I can see:

There are some link floating around the web out there to my pre-SEF URLs. These links don't have the \"index.php?\" in them, but still include the component tag in the url, for instance:

www.MyDomain.com/component/option,com_mojo/Itemid,33/p,12

When people click on those links, they get to my site and see a completely white page. :(

I would use the custom URL redirect tool in your admin panel to create a redirect manually, but it tells me that it only accepts the Urls starting with \"index.php\".

I looked all through the JoomSEF config settings, and I have told it everywhere to leave the old urls where they are... Just add new SEF urls too.

(For instance, I have set both \"Redirect nonSEF URLs to SEF?\" & \"Use Moved Permanently redirection table?\" to Yes.)

What else can I do to allow those old Links to work?

Thanks in advance,
Luke Parker
