Hi there!

I’ve just installed JA_Nickel on Joomla 1.5.10 and made no modifications to the template.

I’ve tried to activate both Joomla native’s SEO function and sh404SEF component, but every time the CSS doesn’t load.

How is it possible?

actually, its SEF support, not SEO

did you rename your htaccess file and make edits as directed by sh404

that is true, grasping at straws without access to see what is happening,

the sh404 intructions also say that some sites have issues and to try it both ways if one way does not work

if you check around, you will see many people have issues with it, even the reviews at JED

I could only get it to work on my sites with
advanced/rewriting mode/ with .htaccess (mod_rewrite)

heres all you need in the .htacess file

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|.php|.html|.htm|.feed|.pdf|.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) index.php
RewriteRule .* –
#
########## End – Joomla! core SEF Section

then just change the setting on the advanced tab and it works

you should use the .htaccess anyways for your canonical domain redirect for google.

PS, change yourdomain to your domain in the above

Hi and thanks for you answer.

I’ve enabled the .htacess and then configured sh404SEF to use mod_rewrite.
It’s working fine!
