I debugged the problem and it turns out that when internal redirecting a page through mod_rewrite, QUERY_STRING is updated but REQUEST_URI stays like the old url.

To hotfix the problem I changed components/com_sef/joomsef.php:



Probably the redirect detection should be made prior to this function and in other parts of the code, but this just worked for me. How can I suggest this to enter the mainstream as a mod_rewrite compatibility fix?

Thanks.

Yeah, it's odd... I had already skipped com_mindmapufp on the global configurations...

If I use an external redirect, it works fine. But if I do an internal redirect like I posted, it fails with 404 error because option is changed to com_content.

bug or feature?

I'm using joomla artio SEF component on my server, and I needed to create dynamic SEF urls so I used mod_rewrite and wrote something like:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/mm/.*?/.*?$
RewriteRule ^mm/(.*?)/(.*?)$ index.php?option=com_mindmapufp&view=mindmapufp&name=$2&id=$1&tmpl=component [L]

This will do an internal redirection from an url like /mm/something/something to index.php?option=com_mindmapufp&view=mindmapufp&name=something&id=something&tmpl=component

After debugging, the GET variable "option" gets changed to "com_content" instead of "com_mindmapufp", so I get a 404 error! If I disable joomsef plugin, it works fine...

Any ideas on how to solve it?

Thanks!
