This sounds like an Itemid issue. Check the FAQ for this.
When I'm back I can take a deeper look.

For Joomla core skipping sections/categories is supported (read http://www.sakic.net/news/exclude_sections_and_categories_from_your_urls/) but 3rd party components URLs are managed by their own extensions so that's where you ask for support and features on that.

Of course, you can setup an alias but then for each URL separately.

SEF Advance uses the SEF extension included in Mosets Tree so for any feature of its URLs please ask Mosets for support. SEF Advance itself will not include support for 3rd party components, it uses a modular system.

As for the component URL I will check that in few days (I am on vacation). You didn't say for which version of SEF Advance.

This is explained many times on this forum and even on FAQ, but I will repeat.
Because SEF Advance is pure logic SEF component. It doesn't store all URLs in database to later retrieve them from there, as sh404sef and all other does, but does the conversion on-the-fly. This is due to performance reasons but in the same time it requires all characters to be present in the URL in order to calculate them.

For foreign languages it's best to turn on the short URLs and enter aliases for each article without special characters. That way you will not have any URL encoded chars.

The trial version of SEF Advance is freely available and I urge everyone to test it before the purchase!

Thanks, but please never send a PM (I will have to turn it off), when I say on mail it means an email, not PM (note to others, not just you).

Secondly, I had a look and it really looks like an issue in mod_janewslight module so they will need to help you. I tried to make a change but can't do anything with JoomlaXplorer (also note that when I ask for FTP access there is a reason for that, I need real FTP access, not JoomlaXplorer, note to others as well).

If tat's the link then it should work. Send me the FTP info and superadmin password on mail and I will have a look.

Then ask the module developer to support it with SEF Advance.
I can't really support it since it's not core Joomla. I have no idea what that module does, I asked you to post the non-sef link it creates so I could at least get a hint.

SEF Advance is disabled by component, not module. The links in that module are linking to some component but I don't know which component it is. If you post the non-sef link (disable SEF completely in global config and copy the links) I would tell you.

I had a look on this and it is actually bug in VirtueMart which doesn't SEF the pagination links.
They are still displayed non-SEF, probably on purpose, because too many parameters are being passed with them.

So, you just turn off redirectiong non-sef URLs to SEF in SEF Advance configurations and it will work.

It was base href tag that was not inserted in head. It's now fixed in 1.5.6.

You are right, the bug was due to an optimization done in 1.5.0
I fixed it now, please upgrade to 1.5.5.

Make sure you run the latest version 5.8.1 with default configurations. If it still doesn't work send a mail with the access info.

Turn off that module instead in modules section of Joomla configurations.

What is this module created with? Is this a 3rd party component? Turn off the SEF completely in global configurations and post a non-sef link to it.

Please follow the advice from FAQ, empty the trash, make sure you have no duplicates, turn on debug to see which Itemid is returned.
If you can't figure it out send a mail with the admin password and I will take a look.

Thanks. Fixed in 1.5.4, please download and reinstall.
