Thanks for the reply - unfortunately none of your suggestions do anything to fix my issue.

1. I don't want to use "Remove Trailing Slash" as I have thousands of links coming into my site with the urls that have a trailing slash on them - changing to no trailing slash would diminish the value of all these links for SEO Purpses. Also, from what I understand, the proper format for a directory is to have a trailing slash whereas files DO NOT have a trailing slash.

2. I have looked into using mod_rewrite - the problem is that it will add a trailing slash to ALL files which I don't want either) as I mentioned above, I don't want trailing slashes on my files - only on my directories)

3. I would be more than happy to pay for your support if I thought it would fix my problem. But it doesn't sound like you have a viable solution at this point.

So, it seems my only choice is to wait for you to fix the component or switch to a new SEF Component (which would be a real bummer at this point)

As a long time happy user, I would hope this fix is something you would give top priority. Right now your component is creating duplicate content - which is terrible if a site wishes to rank in the search engines, which is half the reason to use SEF URL's in the first place.

Thanks

Thank you for your interest in JoomSEF. We will fix this in next version, but I can't promise any release date.

You could also purchase our support time and we could implement the fix for you as a custom work. Please contact Artio at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for more information, as I won't be available for the next 14 days.
