Yeah I downloaded that from their forum and put it into the root of the My Blog component. However that kinda makes things worse. With that file in place if I click on any Read More link all my side modules dissapear BUT I do see the entire article AND the URL is SEF. I've tried this using several different templates and they all behave in the same way.

I've set all the relevant modules to be visible on the My Blog pages but this has no effect, in fact the ONLY way I can get the modules to remain visible is by setting the modules to appear on ALL pages but there are certain pages on my site where I simply don't want any modules to be visible. Oh and guess what? If I do set the modules to always be visible and then click on any Read More link I then get the message saying that it can't find the article!

I'm using Pro 1.0 Build 105

Wow, that's nothing like my screen!!!?

Hello,

When you create an entry (post) in MyBlog, you can see a field called permanent link;

You do?? 

I don't see anything like that at all 

When you create an entry in your blog, you need to copy the title and paste in the permanent link

Sorry, I'm probably being thick but where do you paste the permanent link?

Has anyone got SEF Advance to work with My Blog from www.azrul.com?

I've installed the extension for it in the My Blog components folder and yes this does create SEF URL's EXCEPT that the url's now end in .html.html and I get this error message when I click on the Read more link:

Cannot find the entry.The user has either change the permanent link or the content has not been published.

Also when using the extension I find that all my modules dissapear when I click on the main menu which links to the My Blog component.

This is driving me nuts!

Update:

Well I've got it all working I just don't understand why what I did made a difference. I just added .html to the suffix field in the SEF Advance configuration, unpublished the alaises I'd set up for /gallery2/ and hey presto it's working again 

It's great that it's working, just wish I knew why it didn't work in the first place and why adding .html makes it work!

Have now kinda got it working. If I enter an alias it will work but ONLY if I don't use the word gallery. In other words the 'correct' url should be www.peakoverload.com/gallery/ but instead I'm having to use www.peakoverload.com/gallery2/

This is fine for people just navigating around my site but I've posted links to my gallery all over the  Internet and now if any of those are clicked on they'll just get the 403.

I've recently installed SEF Advance and it appears to be working correctly everywhere on my site except one page where I just get a 403 Forbidden message.

The page in question is for my gallery which is a static content page (but I have other static content pages that work fine) that has a .swf file embeded into it. The gallery I'm using is SlideShow Pro and I'm also using Slideshow Pro director so that I can administer my gallery online without having to use Flash MX or edit any XML files.

If I access my gallery via Slideshow Pro Director it all works fine and if I disable SEF Advance then I can access the gallery from my main menu's in Joomla. So the problem does seem to be caused either in part or totally by SEF Advance.

This is my .htaccess file

Commenting or uncommenting line 9 doesn't make a difference. If the truth be known, having now tried so many different things to get this to work I now can't remember where this .htaccess file came from. I can't remember if it came from the default Joomla installation, whether it came with SEF Advance or if read somewhere that this one should work.

Like I say SEF Advance is working in all other areas of my site it's just this one static page that doesnt work

My site is www.peakoverload.com

Any ideas?
