Hi,

Currently Joomsef keeps generating url's with highlighted words like:
index.php?option=com_content&catid=32&highlight=WyJvcGVuaW5nc3RpamRlbiJd&id=160&view=article&Itemid=369

Can I stop this from happening because these urls take precedence over the orginal url's. When viewing the website, different words are highlighted.

I think these url's are generated when visitors make use of the Joomla search feature which highlight's the searched word in the search result.





Thanks for any advice.

Thank you for that suggestion. My titles are indeed back!

Thanks again!

Hi,

Joomla version is 2.5.8
JoomSef version is 4.3.0
PHP-version: 5.3.3-7+squeeze14

And yes, the website is multilangual. Using the Joomla's own feature for it by making seperate menu's for each language and setting each page at the proper language.

Any advise/suggestion would be appreciated.

I have been installing the update en purging all urls. Been checking it for the past few weeks but it keeps going wrong.
Same issue still.

The weird thing is that I can't get my finger on where it goes wrong. Each time I purge the urls after the links go wrong again, new ones will be created, it goes correctly for a day or two and then it starts to create weird links.

For the Dutch menu for example when navigating to a submenu, the homepage might link correctly to the /nl page.
For other subpages, the homepage link directs /en
After I purge all sef urls and it goes wrong again after two days, the homepage of other supages link back to /nl or /en
It's like different every time.

What consequently goes wrong is the German menu. When at a subpage, the homepage always seems to direct back to /nl instead of /de

My site name is not showing in the titles.

Within Joomla's global settings I have turned it off to show the sitename AFTER the page title.
In Joomsef I have set the same.

However, when looking at the webpages it only shows page title with a dash. Like for contact page "Contact - ".

When I turn Joomsef off, it works again, showing the full sitename behind the titles.

In Joomsef under Title and Meta tags I turned on the options to use sitename, I set the option to prefer JoomSEF titles.

Any advise would be appreciated.

The example links are not such good examples as it turns out the linke comes from a module which is set to all languages.
So that explains why the links are created for all languages.

I have enabled the creation of SEF links again and as soon as I click on a Dutch menu item, the homepage link directs to the English homepage. (www.billybird.nl/en

I have been checking alot more links but the weird thing is that for some menu's the homepage link is correct.

I'm going to have a closer look to this of there might be a reason why it goes wrong for some but not for all pages.

ah, my pdf file wasn't allowed to be attached. Have put it in my Dropbox folder:

I also included a PDF file with screenshots of my current settings. Maybe it proves useful.

Thanks in advance!

I have purged all SEF urls and cleared the cache.
I let joomsef generate new links.

It all works correctly when I do that for a while. But after a day or two things start to mess up in the way I described above.

Also I see it generates links for the same page 4 times, every time for a different language code. It shouldn't do that. I have select the pages for a specific language.

For example:

nl/activiteiten/gratis-friet index.php?option=com_content&catid=13&id=139&lang=nl&view=article&Itemid=137
nl/activiteiten/gratis-friet index.php?option=com_content&catid=8&id=139&lang=nl&view=article&Itemid=137
nl/activiteiten/gratis-friet index.php?option=com_content&catid=13&id=139&lang=de&view=article&Itemid=137
nl/activiteiten/gratis-friet index.php?option=com_content&catid=13&id=139&lang=en&view=article&Itemid=137

First two links is correct, the last two shouldn't be created.
It has the German and English language code in them but it's a SEF url for a Dutch page.

Maybe links like these cause the messing up of the home urls as I describe in my first post perhaps?

Joomla version: 2.5.8
Joomsef version: 4.2.9
PHP-version: 5.3.3-7+squeeze14

I am using the native multilanguage function of Joomla. Haveing setup 3 menu's one for each language.

Three languages are nl, de and en with Dutch as main language.
English is disabled as it's not ready yet.

Joomsef creates all the urls correctly in the beginning but after a while something odd happens.

The urls are set up as:
www.billybird.nl/nl for Dutch
www.billybird.nl/de for German
www.billybird.nl/en for English (disabled atm)

In de Dutchmenu when I go to a subpage via the menu, the link back to home redirects to the wrong language.
The home url links to www.billybird.nl/en instead of www.billybird.nl/nl

In the Germanmenu when I go to a subpage, the home links to www.billybird.nl/nl instead of www.billybird.nl/de

But when I am on the homepage it does show the correct url for the home url.

I enabled the tracer but I can't make much out of it. It does show the correct referer:

Any help why it redirects to the wrong language home url when clicking on any menu item?

Thanks in advance
