Found a workaround by using no category names in URLs, and using the following in .htaccess



This basically uses a 301 redirect for URLs like product-name-2.html, product-name-3.html - taking them to product-name.html

This should be fine.

I've been working to get rid of duplicate URLs on my site, and using \"Ignore multiple sources (Itemids)\" have removed them from traditional Joomla content.

When it comes to VirtueMart, I'm still having problems, and believe my best option is to ignore the \"manufacturer_id\" and \"category_id\" variables when generating SEF URLs.

I think I could do it myself if I had some guidance on which files will contain the necessary code. I could duplicate the code from one of the existing Ignore functions and amend it to ignore my variables.

Has anyone else attempted anything simlar?<br><br>Post edited by: rippyuk, at: 2007/07/27 02:40

I installed JoomSEF 2.0.2, still was getting nothing in any META tag.

Now I've added this string

Same here, although I also have VirtueMart &amp; the latest JoomSEF VirtueMart patch installed too.

Running JoomSEF 2.0.0 with the Virtuemart plugin, and was having problems with meta tags &amp; descriptions. Noticed on another thread that 2.0.2 will solve this, but when I head to the downloads section to grab it, that section of the site seems to be down.

Can anyone from Artio let me know when the downloads section will be back, or alternatively email me the 2.0.2 download?

Many thanks

edit: ignore me, in the time it took to post this the downloads are back.<br><br>Post edited by: rippyuk, at: 2007/07/26 17:06
