Hi,

I created a custom url where the non-sef is:
index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/contribute/transact&reset=1&id=11

When I save the custom URL it changes to:
index.php?option=com_civicrm&id=11&lang=en&reset=1&task=civicrm%2Fcontribute%2Ftransact

It changes the '&' to '%2F' which causes the SEF url to not work.

I have the component set to 'Leave as non-sef' and 'sh404sef plugin if available' in Configurations but that doesn't help. I also tried to change it to 'Leave as non-sef' and 'use Joomla@ router.php' but that doesn't help either.

Can you please let me know what I'm missing? Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
Janice

Hi

That looks more like a bug in storing the custom URL. Let met get back to you after some testing.

Hi

Can you download this dev version and test please?

Download from: https://copy.com/xxxx

If possible, test on a copy of your site, though this should be pretty safe.

Thank you for very much your prompt reply.

The update worked. The non-sef url is saving exactly the way that is it was entered. Thank you!

I thought that was the cause of the original problem but it didn't fix that. The problem is if I set my CiviCRM extension to 'use default handler', when you visit the page, the content doesn't display (see attached). If sh404sef is to 'non-sef' the page doesn't display the content (see attached).

We were using Joomla 2.5 and I had the CiviCRM extension set to 'non-sef'. In the Joomla 2.5 version of sh404sef I was able to create a custom url for a CiviCRM page and a use an alias to access the page. We upgrade to Joomla 3 on Friday (8/21) and now none of the CiviCRM alias work anymore. They just give us that blank page.

This is the non-sef page:
https://www.xxxx.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/contribute/transact&reset=1&id=11

This is page with the sh404sef alias:
https://www.xxxx.org/TiftAreaMC-Membership

Do you know what's going? It used to work under Joomla 2.5.
Thank you very much for all your help.

SIncerely,
Janice

Hi

1 - I'd suggest turning Joomla error display to "Maximum" to see if any error crops up. But I don't think so, as the page actually displays, it's only the CiviCRm part that's missing
2 - It might be that the CiviCRM has not been fully updated to Joomla 3 API. You can try adding "com_civicrm" into the "Extensions needing $_GET" field of advanced configuration of sh404SEF.

Just append it, using a comma to separate from the names of extensions already there.

Save configuration and try again.

Cheers

Hi

Glad to hear that. If you have a moment, would be worth contacting the CivirCRM developers and mention they should upgrade to Joomla 3 API (not use JRequest anymore).
