Hi Michal,

Thank you very much for the pointer and the quick answer!
Will give it a go.

Thanks again!

Hi everyone!

I have adapted a JoomSEF extension for use with BookLibrary 1.0.1.
I have one small issue left, I hope someone can help me figure this out.
After installation, everything is fine for the URLs, except that the book url in book view has a trailing slash still, like this: /books/category/book-title/.html

I can't seem to find how to fix this. Thank you in advance for any tips!

Hi Alfonso,

- Just use the NON-SEF url to create a menu link
- create the JoomFish translation for the menu
- then create the custom URLs in ARTIO JoomSEF for each language

So one for /it/content.html and one for /en/content.html

Hi guys,

With G2Bridge as we all know there is a little problem when activating mod_rewrite (clicking on any link in embedded Gallery takes you back Home).

There's a guy, Steven J. Rees, website http://sjr.greatsouthernwines.com, who made a SEF extension for SEF Advance for Gallery2 Embedded component extension v1.0.

When I tried putting it into the G2Bridge component directory in Joomla and then activating ARTIO JoomSEF for Gallery, I obtained URLs like
/gallery/?g2_Itemid=3395 which are still a whole lot better then the standard Joomla SEF which we get (with ARTIO for Gallery set to nocache) which makes links like /option,com_gallery2/Itemid,49/lang,en/?g2_itemId=18

In short, everything worked fine with that file and ARTIO JoomSEF switched on for Gallery2, except for a small but all important glitch: no more breadcrumbs.
Breadcrumbs are really needed on my site, so I refrained after a few tries.

I have no knowledge of the way either SEF Advance or ARTIO JoomSEF work for constructing or adapting this sef_ext.php for use with ARTIO JoomSEF.

Can anyone give me any pointers on how to adapt this (or at least give it a try) so that we can finally have nice Gallery URLs with ARTIO JoomSEF? It's something I have been wrestling with for more than a year now...

Thanks in advance for any help or pointers.

Tested & confirmed:

Version 1.5
1.5 gives all duplicate urls, even for absolute single content.
Joomla 1.0.12 (FreeBSD, PHP4). Bummer, Google will not be happy :-)
I suspected linked titles were the problem so I removed them all, experimented with unique ItemIDs, etc., etc. Clearing tables in between of course. Still ALL urls remain duplicate.
ItemID ignore setting is not an option for me, as I use Extended Menu and that is broken if this is set to yes.

Version 1.3.3 reinstalled
Deinstalled 1.5, reinstalled 1.3.3 and hey presto, everything is fine again, WITHOUT ANY duplicate url.

Only changing factor: JoomSEF version.

Yes, there are many issues with Joomla's ItemIDs, but they are not the cause here, the site is exactly the same in both cases.

Hope you find the reason in the JoomSEF code and solve this soon, because JoomSEF is indeed a great component, and it would be a shame if people turn away from it because of this big issue.

Gentlemen,

I too have just bought the paid version 1.5, and honestly I am surprised by the easy responses here.

Don't get me wrong, I still think Joomsef is a great component, but that doesn't stop it from having a real issue in this latest version.

I had version 1.3 running perfectly, WITHOUT any duplicate URL's. Saved a lot of custom URLs to this end.
I saved the whole custom url databse, uninstalled 1.3 free version, installed 1.5, reimported the custom url's and hey presto! Now almost ALL content has the dreaded -2.html appended. Aaarggh!
Definitely something that I did NOT experience in version 1.3, so I would be very happy if someone had a solution for this on the coding end, or at the very least an explanation.

Yep, I followed the exact same procedure as with the previous versions, but Joomsef now insist on appending numbers to my content DESPITE the custom URL table.

JoomSEF is an SEO tool and marketed as such, so anything that destroys SEO rather than enhance it should i.m.h.o. be treated with some priority.

Anyone from the team who can shed some light on this has my cheers earned! :-)
