Hello,
In every search module that i download they show this: ...nl/component/virtuemart/search?virtuemart_category_id=0&limitstart=0&option=com_virtuemart&view=category&keyword=
Yes, sef is enable, .htaccess etc... In my products, categories they works perfect without the componement/virt..... so its only: ....nl/category/categories/product
But in search they are showing this ???
Anyone can help my ?
Do you use standard VM search module (latest version)?
Yes, 2.0.22a
Did you check your issue on standard Joomla template (beez5)?
Yes i tried it. Reinstall vm etc..
Could you share a screen shot of your ugly non-sef link? Where do you found it?
(http://i43.tinypic.com/lleer.png)
When i want to search in virtuemart products, there a found this.
Could you clarify where is the problem on your screen shot?
The url ?
Ah, this url in the browser address bar is normal. Why do you have problem with it?
Because they show this: nl/component/virtuemart/search?virtuemart_category_id=0&limitstart=0&option=com_virtuemart&view=category&keyword= :o
in other vm sites they aren't and its not a browser problem.
Sorry I didn't pay my attention to this non-sef url in such unimportant place.
Maybe on some my websites it was sef, on others - not.
What is the difference?
I doubt that such url there could be disturbing neither for shop customer, nor for search engines.
But i already enabled sef on my joomla ?
Do i need to install some seo plugins ?
Also, How i can delete the compo... url ?
With SH404SEF i removed the componement/virtuemart... but now, how i can remove this: ..nl/search?keyword=&limitstart=0&option=com_virtuemart&view=category
and how i can change the title, in SH404SEF in change the page title but nothing changed.
The title is: Virtuemart Category View ???
We can't provide support here for 3rd party seo extensions for VM.
Also there is no need to use any of them.
And you already able to remove "component/virtuemart" part from visible to search engines links without help of sh404sef

Better don't use sh404sef on the web site with Virtuemart.
I removed SE404SEF. indeed it does not work.
When i tried to enable the se404sef, url optimalisation then it will removed. But after the results, click on a product then it shows directly site.com/product and not site.com/category/categories/product and thats bad.
I removed the com_virtuemart on the url and now my url are this: component/virtuemart/zoeken?keyword=&limitstart=0&view=category :D
That's great but it shows component/virtuemart again.
I removed one line on:
modules\mod_virtuemart_search\tmpl\default.php
<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_virtuemart" />
But it's weird, If i click on my menu item and if i search there a product then the component/virtuemart/ url will removed and its this like this: .../nl/gsm-en-smartphone/zoeken/smartphones?keyword=&limitstart=0&view=category ;D
So, when you search on the homepage then you will see the comp... url and if you search on a category page then it doesn't
I have see you topic page, i have the same and still not removed.
I need to create a menu item for that ?
But i can't see the vm search item.

I can't say that non-sef search result url is a hazardous bug.

Can't help much with configuring sh404sef.
I don't recommend you to broke php logic of VM search module.

Thank you for the pointing this!
Maybe it's necessary to create menu item for VM frontpage, and not only for VM categories?
In SE404SEF when i use url optimalisation then when you search a product it shows directly the product and no /categegories/category/product.
Your idea to use front layout has worked! :D :D
Now they are: nl/search/zoeken?keyword=&x=0&y=0&limitstart=0&view=category
Thank you ;)
Thanx for sharing your experience!
By the way it's probably not necessary to have displayed menu item for VM Frontpage.
