« on: 12 March 2007, 00:27 »

The available SEF Advance extensions that I know of are listed here:
http://www.sakic.net/products/sef_advance/extensions/

Don't know if Docman extension is available yet, if anybody finds it please post here.

You can change URLs to lower-case in SEF Advance configurations > Preferences Tab > Lower case > Yes

The best place to start with is included sef_ext.php example file and readme.txt.
After that have a look at the extensions included in free components (like my Recommend and Userlist). These are very simple examples but once you get the idea you will be able to build it for more complex components too. For other examples look at:
http://www.sakic.net/products/sef_advance/extensions/

Martin Brampton wrote a nice tutorial for writing SEF Advance extensions here:
http://remository.com/component/option,com_mamboboard/func,view/id,1605/catid,7/
Although the standard improved a little bit since the time he wrote it, it will still give you an idea.

Also if you would attach the Docman extension you found I can have a look and adapt it for SEF Advance when I catch some time.

I've tried it, and instead of /option,com_docman/Itemid,106 it creates /docman/ for the menu but the urls are still not sef and there are lots of errors.
Thanks Saka for your patience

Hello,

I am working on this now. If you have a populated Docman site please contact me so we can test the extension.

Thanks.

Hi,
I am using a free host to set up my website before I move it to the server where our old site is hosted. I would be very interested in having a test of the Docman Extension.

Cheers,
James

I would need someone with populated Docman site to contact me first.
It's not yet reached the beta stage so I can release it.

I can't post it because it's not ready yet. It would help if you would send me the dump of your Docman tables or send me the FTP access to your site. That would really speed things up.
