Please help,
I am using the JoomlArt Template, ‘Mesolite’.
Joomla 1.5.6
VM 1.1.2

sh404SEF 1.0.11_Beta – build_147 – Joomla 1.5.x

I have created many websites using sh404sef and everything is fine but this is my first attempt using Joomla 1.5.6.

I’ve installed everything, the raw install does not work when you try and press ‘product details’ on an individual product in VM, so I then used Joomla’s SEF and everything works fine, then I enable sh404sef.

You can browse the whole site and everything works fine apart from when you are on the browse page and you try and click on ‘product details’ of any product in VM.
You are re-directed to :- 404 – Component not found (http://www.workhousewebproofs.co.uk/php4).

If you click directly on a product on the home page it WILL send you to the product details (Example URL Below):-
http://www.workhousewebproofs.co.uk/Monitors/X2Gen-22-Widescreen/flypage.tpl.html

BUT

If you browse to the browse page of a category and the try to click the same product by clicking product details you get the 404 error, the URL it gives is:-
http://www.workhousewebproofs.co.uk/php4?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=20&category_id=11&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=71

I’m pretty sure sh404sef is not working for some reason on the browse page when a browser clicks ‘product details’
In the URL that does not work, where it says ‘php4?’, if I change this to ‘index.php?’ it will re-direct you to the sef URL.

Also on the browse page if you try and press the ‘Add to Cart’ button it does not work. BUT on the product details page the ‘Add to cart’ Button works fine.

Please any help would be very greatfull, as I now want to make the move to Joomla 1.5.6

Kindest Regards,
Reders

Hi Reders

You need to bear in mind you are using a beta version of SEO module (sh404SEF 1.0.11_Beta – build_147). It is certainly worth checking to find out what the current stable version of sh40SEF is. As a rule I try to avoid using beta versions on a live site, after all it’s a beta for a reason.
