Clarify documentation

I was going through the documentation and there were some explanations I was not sure I understood. Would you please clarify and advise:

1) Is there any reason you would not always to set these variables as described?

To avoid duplicate content, you can setup SEF Advance to redirect requests for old-style, built-in, core SEF URLs and non-SEF URLs to corresponding SEF Advance URLs. This is done by setting variables:
$sef_bird = 1;
$sef_nsrd = 0;

Or,

To make your URLs more unique you may setup the option:
$uniqitem = 1;
Every item will get creation date and id appended so it becomes unique and Google News friendly.


2) i have no idea what your suggesting in the next section. Please clarify


Strings:

You can configure blog and archive strings (for example use "a" and "b"):
define("_SEF_BLOGSECTION", "blogsection");
define("_SEF_BLOGCATEGORY", "blogcategory");

As well as all core components strings:
define("_SEF_FRONTPAGE", "frontpage");
define("_SEF_WEBLINKS", "weblinks");
define("_SEF_POLL", "poll");
define("_SEF_BANNERS", "banners");
define("_SEF_CONTACT", "contact");
define("_SEF_LOGIN", "login");
define("_SEF_REGISTRATION", "registration");
define("_SEF_SEARCH", "search");
define("_SEF_NEWSFEEDS", "newsfeeds");
define("_SEF_WRAPPER", "wrapper");

Thanks

Hello,

Those instructions are only for Mambo 4.5.0 and older. On later versions of Mambo and all Joomla! versions all settings are done in the admin and no modification of config file is needed.

Note this part of the documentation:

SEF Advance offers many URL customization possibilities.
If you are using Joomla! 1.x or Mambo 4.5.1 or higher you will be able to do the setup under the admin area (Components > SEF Advance > Configuration).
You can also find information about different settings under the help button in the admin area.

If you are using Mambo 4.5.0 you will have to open sef_conf.php with a text editor to edit the settings. In that case read on for information on what different settings are for.

Hi Emir

Duh!

Thanks for the prompt response.
