Hello,

I have installed and tested sh404SEF 4.4.8.2409 with Joomla! 3.4.1.
I think there is a new bug on urls generated with this sh404SEF version : new urls were generated on the default language.

If I do the same tests with Joomla! 3.3.6 and sh404SEF 4.4.6.2271 with the same configuration, all is OK.

This is a multilanguage website (French, English and Spanish). The default language on my website is the French language. I created 6 pages (3 homepage and 3 contact).
- With Joomla! 3.3.6 and sh404SEF 4.4.6.2271, i have 6 urls (see joomla336x-sh404sef446.jpg)
- With Joomla! 3.4.1 and sh404SEF 4.4.8.2409, i have 10 urls (see joomla341-sh404sef448.jpg)

For all the others pages in English and Spanish, there is now an equivalent url with the default language (here French).

The problem is the same even if :
- I have purged all url.
- I use default Joomla template

If you want, I have a website test online. I can give you url and access code to see that.

Regards

Hi

The problem is not in sh404SEF 4.4.8, it's in changes that were introduced in the router and Language filter plugin in J! 3.4.1.

Normally, 4.4.8 was made to address those problems, so it should be ok.

The first check list is:

- is your Joomla! multilingual setup correct: use the Joomla multilingual module to check for that
- Joomla SEF setting should be ON

If all look good, and considering the nature of the problem, the next step would be for you to install Akeeba backup (with Joomla 3.4.1 and sh404 4.4.8, the faulty configuration), and provide me with a download file. I will install it locallyn and can debug through the code to see what's happening.

If you give me admin access, I can simply download the backup from there, or you can put it on dropbox shared folder or similar, and give me the link.

Here are the download links of my database and my website tested on localhost :

Database xxxx

Database name xxxx

[b]Access code xxxx

[u]Website xxxx

[b]Directory name xxxx

[b]Access code for administration xxxx

This is a multilanguage website (French, English and Spanish). Even if I purged all the urls in URL manager and cleaned all caches, when I go one each page, there are at final 10 urls created instead of 6. [b]In URL manager, wrong urls contain in their url non-sef language tag instead of language code.

[u]My configuration :

1) mod rewrite with xxxx

2) System Global configuration - SEO settings
- Search Engine Friendly URLs : YES
- Use URL Rewriting : YES

3) Plugin System - Language Filter enabled

4) sh404SEF enabled

5) Module Language Switcher enabled

Thanks, I'll do my best to look at it today, things are really busy here with the start, but we're starting to get a hold of them.

ok, I did look at it and found a problem whereby this would happen. Having your (simple) site to debug helped very much.

I've made available a test version with the proposed fix. Can you have a go with it and provide some feedback?

The download folder is here: https://copy.com/xxxx

Hi,

There is nothing on your download folder.
Just one folder "Josetta" but it's empty.
