Hi,

I'm using the virtuemart file as hosted on the sakic website, but it's not woking properly. Has anyone got this working?

The front page of the shop loads, and the catagory links are SEF'd, but clicking on the links load up the front page of the shop again.

I''ve removed the sef extension for now, but really do want to get this working.

Thanks.

Yep..same issue. Unfortunately I haven't the slightest clue on what to do.

I purchased SEF Advanced about a year ago, but I really do need SEF URLs for Virutemart, so for the moment I'm using Artio SEF - which, so far, is working well. It's a shame that SEF-A is not working with VitueMart... hopefully I'll be able to move back soon! :-)

Well as stated I can't sit and code every extension for any 3rd party component that anyone may need.

I understand that Virtuemart is one of popular components and I am willing to help but then I require your assistance.

Contact me on mail.

Hi - was there any development on this? If not what help do you need? I can't code but am happy to help out if there is anything I can do because I'd like this functionality too

I'm used this post to get it mostly working:

see:
http://www.churchvideo.co.uk/shop/
I end up with the item/productID(?) on the end of the urls though...

thanks - tried that and it almost works but unfortunately it does weird things to my module positions so can't use it $:-\$

In the end I had to redirect each product url manually - not ideal but it mostly seems to work so far.

I realise the third party components aren't the responsibility of SEF Advance but I did check that it was (supposedly) compatible with Virtuemart before purchase and seeing it listed on the extensions of this site was the deciding factor for my purchase.

Unless I'm the only person this extension doesn't work for - it seems to me that the leaving the version listed on this site is a bit misleading. I also think a reply (even if it was to say no!) wouldn't have gone amiss.

Other than this the only other problem I've found is that I had to disable community builder SEF url's because it caused a problem with the registration on our site. Besides that I've had no problems at all and the component is excellent - so I'm not complaining - I just think maybe the information could be more up to date and less misleading.

From the very same page: Please note that 3rd party component extensions are not supported by us. For inquiries about components please contact their respective author.

What's misleading about that?

About 80% of all support requests I get are related to 3rd party components, even thogh I said 100 times I don't support any 3rd party components.
I try to help where I can and I have even provided many extensions for 3rd paty components myself. But i really cannot and will not support every 3rd party problem you might get, sorry, it's just not possible, there are 1000's of components out there. Thus the disclaimer.

I wasn't meaning to be argumentative - I think the components excellent but I think more people than just me would assume that if a plug in is listed on your list of extensions it will be compatible.

If it bothered me more I'd have willingly offered to pay a developer to fix the plug ins to work with our site - instead I've set up manual redirects and that seems to be working ok.

I asked the initial question on here because you'd said "I understand that Virtuemart is one of popular components and I am willing to help but then I require your assistance." - so I thought I'd leave a message to offer to help and to ask if there had been no progress - thats all and I'd have happily accepted a "no" response - as it is I got no response which to me is worse than a negative one.

I'm not meaning to waste your time now and I don't mean to kick off a load of trouble - I thought that maybe other people would be wondering the same as I was about whether this component can work with virtuemart. My experience is that the plug in linked to from this site doesn't work - however if you don't have too many products you could try setting up a redirect for each product url.

I do understand that it must be very frustrating having people constantly pester you about third party scripts but I think thats probably inevitable when its pretty much impossible to track down the authors of some of those scripts. I only asked because it looked as though you may have been starting some work on this one - please accept my apologies for doing so.

Not a problem. Just wanted to explain the situation. I list the extension to help users searching for extensions.
However, I am willing to help improving the VM extension and fix the things that don't work, it's just that it has lower priority right now. Will get to it eventually.

Having troubles as well, it goes in a indefnite loop or st, my webbrwoser tells me... (firefox)

The VM extension has been revised and optimized for SEF Advance now. You can find the latest version on the extension site. If you find any bugs you can report here.

Hi people, I hope I'm posting in the right place, sorry if I'm not.

I bought SEF Advance for my client when I saw that it is compatible with VirtueMart. But now VirtueMart urls only work in Firefox and not Explorer. Here is the debugging code:

In Firefox it says:

Code: [Select]

Array
(
    [6e505ed7608608934fbbd14448cce6b7] => 703890d5ea0cb61da43ab94c3f5d693a
    [virtuemart] => c664ec208b9f8ba97a439c2b1e216755
    [b0b4cca660d8094a1774269fd482850c] => 2f6b484cecf6d0bc4b6971960308f43b
    [webfxtab_sefPane] => 0
    [cprelogin] => no
    [cpsession] => closed
    [option] => com_content
    [task] => view
    [id] => 20
    [Itemid] => 36
)
/triplex/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=20&Itemid=36

in Explorer it says:

Code: [Select]

Array
(
    [6e505ed7608608934fbbd14448cce6b7] => -
    [option] => com_content
    [task] => view
    [id] => 20
    [Itemid] => 36
)
/triplex/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=20&Itemid=36

I'm using the latest fix of everything, any idea's ?

Hi Saka,
first of all i wanna say "Thank you" for the best component "SEF Advance". It works now since 4-5 month without any problem. I just updated to 5.3.5 .

Yesterday i saw that you released the Virtuemart extension. I uploaded it and it works fine.
But i have one problem when SEF is activated for Virtuemart. When i go to my Shop all modules on the left and right site are disapeared. So i have no Navigation, Top10 Seller,... .
I know you dont give support for your extensions, but i just wanna know if this is a known problem or a problem on my site.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Have a nice day and weekend and keep up the really good work.

Thomas
