Hi,

I have the following setup: Joomla 2.5.3, VirtueMart 2.0.2, JoomSEF 4.2.6, JoomSEF Virtuemart Extension 3.0.2
I have the registered versions of Joomsef but I have not set the testing url: I have just installed the downloaded extensions.

My problem is that virtuemart categories title is used to generate the SEF urls, I have changed all configuration setting but nothing seems to change and no configuration change seems to reflect to the website.
I have purged urls, cache and updated urls but the SEF urls are always the same: titles instead of title alias or any other change I made.

Could be that I have all these issues because I am trying to setup things in the not registered testint url?
What else could be wrong?

I have disabled all cache options from Joomsef, Joomla and browser too.

I am going crazy! :-(

Thanks for help!

Hi,

Our VirtueMart extension for JoomSEF doesn't currently support the Alias field. Thank you for your report, we'll update it as soon as we can.

There's no problem using JoomSEF on unregistered testing URL, but the online update won't work there.

Hi,
The updated version of VM extension is released, you can use the Manage Extensions page in JoomSEF to update your extension.
In VM extension parameters you can now customize the category part in URLs and you can select the Alias to be used.

Thank you! That sounds good... in the meantime I have "manually" edited all urls and set them as Locked.
I have also disabled the generation of new urls.
It seems to work about the urls, I have found one problem more with the product pages: for some reason the page title is not only the product title but if has this format: "Previous Category : product title".
All the setting for the vm extension seems to be correct but I cannot get rid of the "category name : ".
Is there a solution for that also?

Further more, is there any way to remove the "?view=form" from breezing forms sef url?
My form has two pages, the first, linked in the main menù got this url "www.domainname.xx/contact?view=form" while second page got the url "www.domainname.xx/contact".
Is it possible to remove such variable or to do the opposite, eg. variable for second page?

Thanks a lot!

One more question: when you set a url for the "root" vm category, maybe using a custom url, is there any way to have all other urls of nested categories to use the first level category custom url?

Is the new SEF Alias option working for Category names also?

thanks

You can control the product page title in VM extension parameters on the Meta Tags tab. But please note that the title meta tag is being store with the URL, so if you make any change to this configuration, you need to use the URL Manager to update meta tags of affected URLs.

Since there's no extension for Breezing forms component currently, you would probably need to customize its own router that handles its URLs.

You can set the Custom menu title for all VirtueMart URLs, so their first part is always for example "shop" or anything else - use the Common tab in VM extension parameters, make sure that Add menu title is enabled and set Custom menu title.

Yes, category aliases are also supported in new VM extension version.
