sef_ext.php for components

If you have a joomla 1.5 component that comes with a functioning router.php and want to use it with SEF advanced, you can create a sef_ext.php with the following content:

[replace XXXXXX with the name of the component (after com_)]
<?php
/**
* SEF Advance component extension
*
* This extension will give the SEF Advance style URLs to the example component
* Place this file (sef_ext.php) in the main component directory
* Note that the class must be named: sef_componentname
*
* Copyright (C) 2003-2007 Emir Sakic, www.sakic.net , All rights reserved.
*
* Comments: for SEF Advance > v3.6
**/
require_once("router.php");

class sef_XXXXXX {

/**
* Creates the SEF Advance URL out of the request
* Input: $string, string, The request URL (index.php?option=com_example&Itemid=$Itemid)
* Output: $sefstring, string, SEF Advance URL ($var1/$var2/)
**/
function create ($string)
{
$string = str_replace("&","&",$string);
$o = split("&",substr($string,strpos($string,"index.php?")+10));
foreach($o as $value)
{
$i = split("=",$value);
$ns[$i[0]] = $i[1];
}
$result = XXXXXXBuildRoute($ns);
foreach($result as $val)
{
$retval .= $val;
$retval .= "/";
}
return $retval;
}

/**
* Reverts to the query string out of the SEF Advance URL
* Input:
*    $url_array, array, The SEF Advance URL split in arrays
*    $pos, int, The position offset for virtual directories (first virtual directory, which is the component name, begins at $pos+1)
* Output: $QUERY_STRING, string, query string (var1=$var1&var2=$var2)
*    Note that this will be added to already defined first part (option=com_example&Itemid=$Itemid)
**/
function revert ($url_array, $pos)
{

$na = array();
for ($a=$pos+2;$a<count($url_array);$a++)
{
if (strlen($url_array[$a]) > 0)
{
$na[] = $url_array[$a];
}
}
$res = XXXXXXParseRoute($na);
$QUERY_STRING = '';
foreach($res as $key=>$value)
{
$QUERY_STRING .="&";
$QUERY_STRING .=$key;
$QUERY_STRING .="=";
$QUERY_STRING .=$value;
$GLOBALS[$key] = $_GET[$key] = $_REQUEST[$key] = $value;
}
return $QUERY_STRING;
}
}
?>

Thanks. The latest version of SEF Advance 2008 will also use router.php file automatically if sef_ext.php is not present.

Has anyone made one of these for Schlu.net's EventList for Joomla 1.5? Could you post it as an attachment or let Saka post it to the third-party extension support page, please? Thank you.
