Hi,

Go to JoomSEF configuration and on the Advanced tab set "Fix index.php links" option to "No". Also make sure that there is only one '=' character after Itemid in the URL instead of Itemid==37.

Hi David

Setting fix index.php to no made no difference to the URL but removing the one '=' makes the URL correct.

The trouble is I have 330 categories which is going to take an age to go through.

As the URL's OK before the upgrade from 3.6.3 to 3.6.5 is there any way to go back to the old version?

Alternatively, is there a quicker way of removing the unwanted '='?

Thanks

Hi,

I think the only way to downgrade JoomSEF is to uninstall the current version and install the older one.

I don't quite understand where is the '==' coming from? You typed the URLs manually in some articles? It could be maybe possible to fix it using some SQL query in the database.

No they were not typed in manually. The '==' only appears on SOBI2 Url's. The SOBI side of the site was set up by an outsourced developer. I have already found a number of Itemid's added in strange places to mess things up. Maybe the extra '=' is another one. I will investigate the templates now.

Interestingly, although the categories do not show the SEF URL with '=='

The listings within the categories work fine with the '=='

Thank you

As I thought, I found an extra '=' in the SOBI2 code that should not have been there. Removed it and now everything is fine. So it was not the fault of Jomsef and everything is looking good!

Can't wait to actually launch the site now!!

Thank you
