non-SEF All Category List Layout

Hi,

My site is referencing the gallery in 2 different ways. I have menus directly accessing categories, and these are working great. With standard Joomla 1.5 SEF. Urls look like http://www.example.com/medicaldental-related. I then also created a "View All" page that uses the standard "Phoca Gallery Category List Layout". This page uses the non-SEF urls when accessing the categories and I am either getting 404s or I get a message that A DIFFERENT category doesn't have images in it (note, it is doing a lookup on a different category all together and not finding anything). URLs on this page look like http://www.example.com/component/phocag ... =component.

I am using the latest 2.2.3 release of Phoca and Joomla 1.5.9.

Thanks!

Hi,

You created this 'view all' page also via a menu-item or did you create this with the Phoca Gallery Plugin?

Ok, this was the issue. I have several button images I am using as navigation. I didn't want to create a menu that formatted to use the button images, so I was just creating menu items and copying the URL they referenced. The issue is that the non-SEF url I was copying for the href on the button was causing problems. I used the SEF url I found when creating a new menu item and it worked.

The proper href that works to reference all the categories is (based off my menu item name):
http://www.example.com/view-all-cabinets

instead of:
http://www.example.com/index.php?option ... categories

Thanks for replying Carolien ;-)
