You must have configured aliases badly. Make sure that they are configured like in this example:

Non-SEF URL: index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4&Itemid=9
Alias: Newsflash_3

Note that there must be no leading or trailing slashes.

Hi,

Could you please send me your admin password and FTP info in a mail and I will have a look?

Versions 4.6 and 4.8 have no differencies whatsoever in regards to any components. They work exactly the same, especially when caching feature is turned off.

So your problems must depend on something else. If you have problems with particular component delete the component's SEF extension (sef_ext.php) or turn on ignore for that component in SEF Advance configurations.

No previous versions can be sent by me, only the latest one. If you need a previous version you must keep your own backup.

so does this mean that with this extension a url like "www.mydomain.com/username" will redirect to a member's CB profile page?

The URLs will be like:
http://www.domain.com/profile/username/

Then you haven't uploaded it correctly. Please delete ./components/com_sobi2/sef_ext.php file completely.
Then upload the new sef_ext.php from my extension site to the same directory.

Which version of SEF Advance do you run now?

The latest version should also work on Mambo 4.6.1 although I don't test or support Mambo any more.

But for safety reasons make a backup of your current SEF Advance version.

The funny error was that you had a character (’) and in working article you had a ('). Note the difference.

And you had article with the same name that was set unpublished. It's possible that SEF Advance caught its Itemid. There should be no title duplicates in content.

I corrected it and now it works:

Hi,

Domit is not included in Mambo 4.6 but I made a fix for that. Are you running the latest version of SEF Advance too?

Joomap seems to work fine. As for Google sitemaps component I haven't tested them but I'm sure there are some good components compatible with SEF Advance too.

It seems like is is working like a wet dream and this is one of the greatest components for joomla out there and the new feature is much needed for me.

Thanks Anton!

How can I check if the URL cache is working? Where are stored the URLs?

If you turn on debugging in main Joomla! configuration you will be able to see number of executed database queries after the page has been displayed.
You will notice that the number of queries is much lower once the URL caching has been activated and URLs has been cached compared to when caching is turned off.

@Günter: I installed it on your site and made the same configurations you had. It works fine. I haven't turned on the cache so you might want to that yourself.

That's strange. Must be that installation hasn't been done properly.
Plese send me a mail with your admin password and FTP info and I will take a look and upgrade for you.

A new version of SEF Advance has just been released. Version 4.8 introduces a new valuable feature: URL caching system!
When turned on, the URL cache will help reducing the load on sites with much content and high traffic.

Once calculated, the URLs are cached and this copy is used next time the URL conversion is called, instead of querying the database and calculating the URL again. This method has advantage of reducing queries to database dramatically, which should boost performance on large sites with DB load issues.

You can activate the caching in SEF Advance administration where you can also set the URL cache time (default 24 hours) and flush the cache.
Note that the cache should only be activated once you have finished designing your site and don't intend to change the menu structure, section and category names etc. If you edit something like that you will need to empty the cache.

Besides caching feature, SEF Advance 4.8 also includes some optimizations, fixes and debugging improvements.

This upgrade is again free for all customers, even them that purchased SEF Advance several years ago!

To upgrade from previous versions of SEF Advance uninstall the old version and install the new one through Joomla! / Mambo component installer. Note that this will delete your settings!

If you are upgrading from version 4.6 you can upgrade keeping your settings if you follow these instructions:
- Upload and replace all SEF Advance files on your server using FTP (./components/com_sef/* and ./administrator/components/com_sef/*).
- Execute the following commands on your mySQL database (you can use phpMyAdmin):

ALTER TABLE jos_sef_config ADD `cache` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0' AFTER `com_exception`;
ALTER TABLE jos_sef_config ADD `cachetime` int(11) NOT NULL default '0' AFTER `cache`;
UPDATE jos_sef_config SET `cache` = '0', `cachetime` = '86400' WHERE id = '1';

Current customers can use the automatic download page to update for free:
http://www.sakic.net/scripting/download/5/

New customers can order SEF Advance here:
http://www.sakic.net/products/sef_advance/

Uninstall completely and install SEF Advance again.
If this notice is related to some 3rd party component then it can't be supported by me.
