I have a big big strange problem with Artio JoomSEF. The problem is, that the urls of category (browse pages) are created with a random manufacurer filter.
It means that only products from one manufacturer will be displayed. The manufacturer selector is not working at all (I can change to a different manufacturer with no change).
I have already updated virtuemart and JoomSEF and virtuemart extension to newest versions. I have removed the manufacturer selection from browse page, but nothing worked.
When I purge the urls, it is OK for 5-10 minutes, but then it seems that is another url created WITH the manufacturer and then it is f***** up.
Here are some real urls from "JoomSEF URL Manager" from one and the same category:
index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=72&Itemid=490
index.php?option=com_virtuemart&filter_product=&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=72&Itemid=490
index.php?option=com_virtuemart&filter_product=&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=72&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=17&Itemid=490
index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=72&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=17&Itemid=490
index.php?option=com_virtuemart&filter_product=&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=72&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=20&Itemid=490
index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=72&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=20&Itemid=490
index.php?option=com_virtuemart&filter_product=&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=72&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=31&Itemid=490
index.php?option=com_virtuemart&filter_product=&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=72&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=42
index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=72&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=42
index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=72&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=31&Itemid=490
See what I mean? Some of the category urls are with manufacturer and some not. I dont know why JoomSEF is taking first the urls without manufacturer and then randomly with one manufacturer?! :(
I never used JoomSEF on Joomla 2.5.x websites. You can get perfect SEF urls without it using just the built-in Joomla and VirtueMart SEF features.
