SH404SEF & Virtuemart V2 - not playing well together
dave collerton:
Happy Christmas all....
I have just upgraded to V2 which I use with joomla 1.5.25 and the latest version of SH404SEF ( 2.4.5.1028). My shop - http://www.sofasonlineltd.com - is working except for a cart problem (reported in this forum elsewhere) and a problem with the URL strings for virtuemart related categories and products.
Firstly, SH404SEF is working fine with other components e.g. DJ Catalog 2, K2 etc - a typical SEF URL delivered is http://www.sofasonlineltd.com/index.php/item/3-contemporary-sofas/6-alban-3-seater-sofa.html. No problem there.
However, since upgrading to V2 my shop urls are wrong - yes, I have purged and refreshed, cleaned cache etc etc. What I get with SH404SEF activated for virtuemart is http://www.sofasonlineltd.com/index.php/buy-sofas.html?view=productdetails&virtuemart_category_id=5&virtuemart_product_id=11 which is clearly a non SEF URL. I can only assume then that, for some reason, SH404SEF is unable to translate the virtuemart string to SEF form.
Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a plugin I need to load perhaps to make the two play nicely together?
Grateful for some advice.
Kind regards
Dave

SEF for VM2 works fine in Joomla 1.7 using the native Joomla functions, a third party SEF tool is not necessary. I guess that SH404SEF would need a plugin/mod to work with VM2 in J1.5
dave collerton:
Am I too assume form your answer that there isn't an SH404SEF plugin for J.15 / VirtueMart V2?
Has anyone here had success with SH404 and V2 - it seems very unlikely that I am the only person to have this problem.

Hutson:
sh404sef does not work with vm2 and why do you need it?? vm2 creates sef urls!
dave collerton:
Thanks Hutson but clearly from the example I provided, it doesn't create SEF URLS in J1.5 - I tried disabling SH404SEF to see what happened - same URL's as with it enabled. This implies that it needs an sef plugin perhaps to get it to work, unfortunately, something I am not capable of doing.
Thanks for the comment though - appreciated.
Regards
Dave
