one link not sef

16 years 3 months ago #2792 by ssustar52
I have a module with the following links
<li><a href="index.php?option=com_cebridge&view=user&layout=form">Edit Profile</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php?option=com_cebridge&view=user&layout=domain">View Packages</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php?option=com_cebridge&view=user&layout=invoices">View Invoices</a></li>


The first link does not translate to sef, but the other two look fine.  Why is that when nothing is really different between the three?
The links show up as

www.mydomain.net/test/index.php?option=c...iew=user&layout=form
www.mydomain.net/test/cebridge/user/domain
www.mydomain.net/test/cebridge/user/invoices

Thanks,
Shannon

This is totally up to that 3rd party component and its SEF extension. Please ask for support from component's author.

I am the author.  These links are in a module, not a component. Does a module require a sef_ext.php too?  I don't see why the sef links are different when the non-sef links are almost identical.

Which version of Joomla do you run? If it's on Joomla 1.5 then it's because of layout=form in the first link. The built-in URLs with "layout=form" or "task=edit" in it are not SEF'ed so they skip the conversion.

The solution is to use some other variable name than "layout" or a value other than "form".
