Yep, around like 96... change

"$category->link = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getCategoryRoute($category->slug, $category->section).'&layout=default');"

to:

"$category->link = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getCategoryRoute($category->slug, $category->section));"

Hey just wanted to update that I think it's all fixed now. I removed the "default layout" string from the views.html.php file and then just updated all the URLs with custom redirects, and now everything works great, no dups and all the menus have the correct URLs

Thanks for your help, I will be posting a positive review of JoomSEF on the extensions site.

Still getting some duplicate URLs, is there someway I can PM you actual examples? I dont want to post links to the site here because it's in development

I have isolated one of the dup links.

"layout=default" seems to be getting added to the Old URLs thus creating many of these dups

Example:

index.php?option=com_content&id=6&layout=default&view=category&Itemid=2 with a SEF URL of /food-spread-news

index.php?option=com_content&id=6&view=category&Itemid=2 gets the URL /food-spread-10 and it shows up in the category link of the article, instead of food-spread-news

I feel like I'm missing some obvious setting here that will prevent all of this

Just normal Joomla content.... Sections, Categories and Articles

For example:

index.php?option=com_content&id=10&view=category&Itemid=2

and

index.php?option=com_content&id=10&view=category

both point to the same content/page, and JoomSef is creating URLs food-spreads and food-spreads-2 because of this. I've tried checking both "exclude source info (ItemID)" and "Ignore multiple instances" and deleting the duplicate URLs but they keep coming back. More importantly they keep showing up in dynamically generated menus, so in one part of the site I have a link "/food-spreads" and then in another part it's linking to "/food-spreads-2" - it wouldn't be as big of a problem if this wasn't happening.

There has to be a way to prevent this, I know sh404Sef handles these duplicate URLs automatically

Thanks in advance for you assistance

Any word on this? The Duplicate URLs isn't an issue in sh404SEF

Hey

Was wondering if you could help me out. I bought Artio JoomSEF, and for the most part it works great. However I am still getting duplicate URLs despite having turned on "Exclude source info (Itemid)" and "Ignore multiple sources (Itemids)"

It happens mostly with sections. For example, I'll have a section called "Food Spreads" with a SEF url of food-spreads. Whenever an additional article is created under that section it creates duplicate URLs like:

food-spreads-2
food-spreads-3
food-spreads-4

and so, even though these articles have their own custom SEF URLs or redirects. I can delete them but they keep reappearing. And now the menu item will only default to food-spreads-2 instead of "food-spreads"

Any ideas on how to prevent this?
