Hello,

I understand, but based on the logics how JoomSEF works, I do not see any reason why the same thing should not work in domain root. Moreover, we did such configuration on several websites already.

So maybe you can throw in a live example then.


Ok, i have a site that has long been offline so I can show you that.. We need to update the hosts file to access it and i have created a login for you.

How can I send you the information in private?

Dear Darcy,

you can send all the URL + access information to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
However, please, if you want us to do the check at your site, I would like to ask you to get 1h of support time first. Thanks.

Hi!
Yesterday I encountered a similar problem.
Default page was changed from com_frontpage to blank static content page.
When JoomSEF turned off everything worked fine, but if I turn it on and type in address line something like domain.tld/ I see contents of com_frontpage.
After reading this topic (and some other forums), and found no solutions, I have analysing sources of JoomSEF, and find a solution in 10 minutes.
So I'm very surprised that the tech support didn't find it so long, or maybe find, but for $$$, I dont know that.
Finally, exactly solution:
In /components/com_sef/joomsef.php, approximately on 70 line, find:
$query = "SELECT `id`,`link` FROM #__menu WHERE `menutype` = 'mainmenu' AND `published` > 0 AND `link` LIKE '%com_frontpage%' LIMIT 1";

and replace it to:
$query = "SELECT `id`,`link` FROM #__menu WHERE `menutype` = 'mainmenu' AND `published` > 0 ORDER BY `ordering` ASC LIMIT 1";

I apologize to the developers for changes in the code, but it really works!

Hello,

Which version of JoomSEF is your solution related to? I couldn't find the line you're writing about anywhere in JoomSEF 3.5.3 code. Also this thread was nearly 7 months old, so I think the problem has been already solved.
Nevertheless, thank you for your information.

Best regards,

You right, I wrote about not newest version. I have used version 2.3.2, because a website is old too and based on Joostina that uses Joomla 1.0 engine, so version 3.x is not applyable.
When I moved default page from frontpage I have been surprised and after simple googling I go here.
I'm understand that last posts was so old, but, IMHO, there is some people who still uses old version and probably can see that problem.
When I found solutions for any problems I trying to share it, and, I think, support forum is a best place for it! :)

I installed everything correctly and have the correct .htaccess file info (copy/pasted it) that is in my root since that's where my joomla site is.

Global SEF URLs Enabled
Apache mod_rewrite Enabled
JoomSEF Enabled
JoomSEF plugin Enabled
Creation of new URLs Enabled

My problem is the frontpage, but a bit different issue. Every time I click an article on the frontpage, it reloads the frontpage AND puts the article/content in or with it. The article is in the middle of the page with the home/front page (with all the modules) being shown too.

I'm not sure if I have to go into the 'content' extension and make changes there or what. When I go to the article directory (alpha content) that I created and click a article from there - it won't load the front page......

It's too bad because I've ALSO installed the Artio extenions for Community Builder, Alpha Content and Kunena Forums and all 3 extensions are working properly for those guys.

Just this darn article / content issue/problem - which wants to reload the homepage when clicking an article from the frontpage/homepage.
