Hi,

Google has found that I have some pages which include:

<site>.com.au/index.php/component/<rest of URL>

Is there a way to stop these additional links? I'm assuming one of the options can be used to switch off the unnecessary 'index.php/component' bit?

thanks,
Mark

Hello,
these are URLs that are not processed by JoomSEF.
JoomSEF never adds index.php to an URL. So either JoomSEF is not active at your site or the handling for the component in question is handled by something else. Maybe the components router, which is the default way when special component extension for JoomSEF is not detected.

G'Day Jan,

Thanks for the reply. JoomSEF is definitely working. I've attached a screen shot to show the handlers. I've just checked and according to google webmaster tools, all these pages with the extra 'index.php' in the URL are showing as 404 errors. Presumably google must have followed these links from somewhere, which mean they must have been produced at some point?

Let me know if you've got any ideas,

thanks,
Mark

Hi Mungo,

Did you find a solution to this? I'm also having the same problem and Google webmaster is picking up on them?

Any thoughts would be very welcome.

Many thanks
Claire

G'Day Claire,

Nope.. not heard anything further (as per the threads above) and I've never solved it..

If you have any inspiration or get an answer, please paste it here as I'd still like to fix this up :-)

Cheers
