I'm using SEF Advance. Great component. I have one problem thought.
If I use tagging with google it don't take me to right page. Here's an example.
Tagged link:
aromacup.com/directory/k-cups/hot-cocoa-...oogle&utm_medium=CPC
Original link:
aromacup.com/directory/k-cups/hot-cocoa-...ees-by-gmcr/details/
Like you see tagged link have wrong landing page.
Can you advise??
I spoke with Google and here's their reply:
" Hello Igor,
Thank you for your email. I reviewed your account and consulted with a
specialist and found that the website is set to redirect to the directory
page whenever a query parameter is added to the url.
Please contact your web hosting company to make sure that the redirect
doesn't take place. Also, please contact your website administrator or web
hosting company. "
Here's reply from Rochen:
"This is considered a 3rd party software issue as our server configuration would not interfere with your landing page. This is caused by your 3rd party SEF extension configuration in Joomla (.htaccess).
Since you're using a 3rd party SEF extension I would suggest bringing this issue up on the developer's support forum, maybe even the Joomla! forum to see if there is anyone who has experienced this and may have an answer for you."
Please HELP..

The problem is that SEF Advance is treating the appended (non-sef) parameters as part of the SEF'ed URL (directory).
What is required is to add handle for combination of SEF and non-sef URL. This would be a trivial task if we hadn't strings with a question mark in its URL, like:
domain.com/section/category/what-is-new?/
In this case it's impossible for system to distinguish between the "directory" and additional parameters string.
The only option is to add an option for this in which case the question marks in "directories" would be URL encoded by force and added string recognized by the system.
I understand that it's becomming important issue and I will add this option in the next version of SEF Advance.
