Joomsef to Virtuemart Patch/Fix for SEO
& SEF URL's
| |
Background
As I have already spoken about in one of
my other code snippets; Joomsef is one of the best SEF components available for Joomla. It converts URL's from the base installation of
Joomla into more readable search engine optimized URL's.
The Problem
Unfortunately the makers of
JoomSEF want to charge to extend the SEF and SEO functionality to work for certain other components, one of which is
Virtuemart. In
most cases the URL's are not english and readable, so this affects the ranking and recognition by search engines like Google, Yahoo and
MSN.
The Solution
Download the file below and follow the directions contained
within. Works on Joomla 1.0.12 stable, Virtuemart 1.1.10 & JoomSEF 1.5.0 (get the hacked copy from my site www.kangainternet.com.au,
hacked because I removed the Artio hidden tags!!!)

Installation Joomsef must be installed and working then just follow these
procedures
1. Extract the zip file locally
2. upload the extracted contents, "com_virtuemart.php" file to your
"<webroot>/components/com_sef/sef_ext" folder.
The plugin is now installed.
