Hi Everyone,

I have recently experienced issues with version 1.5.7.3, similar to what others have experienced, with the detail view and download functionality not working when using a SEF Extension like AceSEF or sh404sef.

After working through this issue with Denis Dulici at AceSEF, please see thread #1 and thread #2, I wanted to share this solution with you.

This fix may even resolve some of the issues detailed at http://www.en.joomgallery.net/faq/general-faq/detail-original-images-arent-displayed.html.

The fix is to add

Code:

option=com_joomgallery

to

Code:

$url  = 'index.php?

on line 331 of components/com_joomgallery/helpers/ambit.php as well as to add it to occurrences of

Code:

JRoute::_('index.php?

in components/com_joomgallery/controller.php.

Denis cited http://docs.joomla.org/Routing#Routing_URL.27s as being the source of this fix.

Hope that helps!

Best,

Matt

Hi,

thanks for this information.

But as you can see in the Joomla documentation you have linked it is not necessary to include 'option=com_joomgallery' into the URLs. It must work without that. 'com_content' works also without the option in the link.
So the problem must be another one.

Unfortunately, the AceSEF extension for JoomGallery isn't free, so I can't test that.

Hi Chraneco.

My apologies for the late reply, but I never received any notification of your response.

That documentation doesn't seem clear to me as to whether or not the option variable is required, but I have seen this issue before and that did resolve the problem. I do see some other references that it may be needed at other places such as at http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=1377455&sid=114a7bc5126b3ced043f68f15a096621#p1377455 and http://docs.joomla.org/Search_Engine_Friendly_URLs

In any case, I can tell you without any doubt that on multiple sites that I manage, Joomgallery has stopped working when using third party SEF extensions, and this fix resolved the issue for all of them.

I hope this helps, and I'd be happy to test any fixes with AceSEF as I am a subscriber. I can even set up a test site with AceSEF installed if that would help.

Best,

Matt
