I would like to try your custom router, but I have the impression I don't know how to use it...
This is what I did
- installed Joomla 1.5.4 and RSGallery2 2.00 beta SVN 817 (okay, and sh404SEF 1.0.11 but that one is disabled for now)
- in the Back-end > Site > Global Configuration have the following SEO Settings
-- Search Enigne Friendly URLs: Yes
-- Use Apache mod_rewrite: Yes (and with the original Joomla 1.5.4 htaccess.txt renamed to .htaccess)
-- Add suffix to URLs: No
- then I visited my homepage (on a xampp webserver in dir /j-rs-sef/)
This is what I got (error and successes)
- for the RSGallery menu item called "Photos":
http://localhost/j-rs-sef/index.php?Itemid=53&option= which results in a 404 -Component not found message
- when I change this URL to
http://localhost/j-rs-sef/index.php?Itemid=53&option=com_rsgallery2 I get my view of galleries (and latest/random images)
- URL for my first gallery:
http://localhost/j-rs-sef/component/rsgallery2/category/1 works
- URL for the third image in this gallery:
http://localhost/j-rs-sef/component/rsgallery2/item/3/asInline works
- moving on from that one to the seventh one in this gallery:
http://localhost/j-rs-sef/component/rsgallery2/category/1/asInline?limit=1&start=6 works
Now the questions are
- why doesn't the menu-item link work?
- how can I change the texts: component, rsgallery2, category, 1, asInline and get e.g. the image name?
I have a tiny bit of PHP experience which makes me ask: why is there a reference to com_contact in the router.php mentioned (on line 23)?
