urls stored in the database are cleared, and new ones are recreated as suers requests pages. If you change the way urls are to be built (which is what you want), then old urls need to be deleted, so that new ones, using the router.php file can be created.

Hi

Not sure actually. I have an older version of VM, but the code for the module is:

Code:

<form action="<?php $sess->purl( $mm_action_url."index.php?page=shop.browse" ) ?>" method="post">

which means it should not be relative I think. Worth a search on the virtuemart forum ?

Hi

That's a bug in the search module: it uses a relative url:

Code:

<form action="index.php?page=shop.browse&amp;option=com_virtuemart&amp;Itemid=100084" method="post">

Thanks Shumisha - is it an easy thing to work around? I'm not sure what I need to be changing.

And thanks tonimarie too - I hadn't realised my Joomla version had become so out of date! Updated that and 404sef to the latest versions  now and it's still a problem, unsurprising I guess when the fault lies with the VM search module

No I didn't.

What happens when you purge URLs

Sorry for my inexperience.

ok, forgot to ask: after you changed setting to tell sh404sef to use router.php, did you purge urls ?

Rgds

Excellent!  That worked perfect.

Thank you.

I am going to link to a PDF, maybe DocMan.  Where do I set the destination of the Print button?

Or, where is table class=toolbar coming from?  Don't make me grep...

Thanks,

If you tested with 777 and you say it dosn`t work means that there`s a  file ownership issue and you should:

1) - revert chmod to whatever it was before you chmod 777
2) - talk to your host company about this problem to solve this issue on your server

Hi

Please provide link to site. Need to check how anchors are written in the source code

Well, there is the problem.

It is not using router.php as soon as I activate sh404SEF (Enable URL optimization-->Yes)

Right now I have sh404 deactivated so you can see router.php now working live (http://www.fotovega.com)

I also attach my global config in Joomla, regarding SEF.

Thanks.
