Firstly I have purged SEF URL's and created updated them.

I have a ZOO category 'machining-edm-wire-cutting' for example. There is an item with the name 'edm-plus-uk-ltd' that has this as a primary category. My own php routine creates the site map to show the following URL, among others.

www.linkindustry.co.uk/machining-edm-wir...ting/edm-plus-uk-ltd

If I enter this, I receive a 404:Not found Error. If I navigate on the website to the page that shows all the listings within this category, and then enter the above URL again, it works. This is the same with pagination. Until I open a page to display the items within this category, the URL will return a 404 error. Open the page, and it is recognised and a SEF Url created.

I am using yoonique ZOO plugin for JoomSEF.

Have I set up something wrong. Why can JoomSEL not create SEF Url's for pagination pages until they are visited?

Thanks,

Alec

Hi,

This is a correct behaviour, JoomSEF doesn't know about the links until they are displayed on the website. Please read the How It Works section in JoomSEF's documentation: www.artio.net/joomsef/documentation#howitworks

You can use JoomSEF's Website Crawler to crawl your website automatically thus generating the URLs.

Thanks for the help!!
