#90 – Error_log being created every second via sh404sef

Hi

This is not sh404SEF logging information, this is PHP loggin this notice.
If you have access to your server php.ini file, you can suppress them being logged by adding the

& ~E_NOTICE

command to the

error_reporting

setting of PHP.
This will require restarting PHP, or Apache if you use PHP as an Apache module. If you're not famliar somehow with system administratio, you probably don't want to go that route.

This error can appear depending on your Joomla menu configuration, and also on some Virtuemart URLs which lacks an Itemid. It apparently appeared on more recent versions of VM.
Next release will have a protection against that. For now, if you're ok with it, you can prevent this message to appear by inserting the following code at line 26 of /components/com_sh404sef/sef_ext/com_virtuemart.php:

$Itemid = empty($Itemid) ? 0 : $Itemid;

The final result should look like:

// ------------------  standard plugin initialize function - don't change ---------------------------
$Itemid = empty($Itemid) ? 0 : $Itemid;
if (!function_exists('shGetVmShopName'))
.....

This change will be discarded when you update to next release, but next release will include it so you don't need to worry about that.

Thanks, please report back, that will help validate the change for next version
