Hello,

I recently installed JoomSEF and purchased and installed the Virtuemart Plugin for it. It cleans the urls up well, but I am having one major problem with it.

When I add an item to the cart and click 'checkout' which redirects to our https site it dumps the contents of the cart and redirects me to the secure home page not to the next page in the checkout process. This is a major problem since users can't purchase items because of this. If I disable JoomSEF I do NOT have this problem, so I can only assume it has something to do with JoomSEF or the Virtuemart plugin for it. Has anyone else come across this issue? Is there anything I can do?

I really need clean urls but not at the expense of not allowing users to checkout.

Here is what I'm running:

Jommla! 1.0.12
Virtuemart 1.0.10
JoomSEF v1.4.0
Virtuemart plugin for JoomSEF 1.0.0

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Due to the urgency of this issue I would be willing to pay for support to get this up and running quickly.

Hello Ben,

we have already dealt with similar problem several times. Mostly the problem was caused by the VirtueMart HTTPS hack. Don't you have such installed?

If no, please, contact us again and we will check your site directly.

Best regards,
ARTIO Support Team

Yes, I would also be interested in hearing the fix for this. What is the virtuemart https hack?

Thanks,
David Henderson

Well I just checked my site checkout after installing joomsef 1.5 and the vm plugin 1.0.1 and I do not have any problems checking out on my https. I am not using shared SSL, so maybe that is why mine works fine?

I don't understand how that would matter. Has anyone else seen similar results? And can someone from ARTIO please comment on this. It seems to be a very very common problem and we'd all appreciate a little help
