Phoca Forum

Hello, i hope you guys wont be mad at my question, since iv seen posts about the SEF problem everywhere, at first my images would not come up once i enabled the SEO options in joomla, then i ran into a post that explained how to do it, so i created the unpublished menu with the menu item pointing to my gallery and got the image to work.

The problem is here, i have a phoca galley random image module in my front page, its called Random image, one of the images, its a plain image, and it comes up perfectly in the detail window. the other its an image with a youtube code and it does not show in the detail window (modal popup box). but if i disable the SEO in joomla it works.

here is the link to my page www.aionadvice.com where you can see the module random image and click on the thumbnails to see the results. please help me on this since i enjoy phoca gallery and it is just what i need for my site, i am working out the last details on my site before i start adding all the content.

The SEO settings in joomla is Search engine Friendly URLs set to yes, and Use apache mod_rewrite to yes, and changes htaccess.txt to .htaccess .

not sure if anyone has read my post yet but, i did some testing and got this working, and im so happy right now.

The first time when the images were not working with SEO setting enbaled, i solved it by creating an unpublished menu with a published item menu that pointed directly to my only category of images, (Phoca Gallery >> Category). this resulted in the image without youtube code working but the one with the code gave me a 500 error.

So waht i did i created a new image and this time i put no code on it, and it also gave me a 500 error, i looked at the links of the working image and the not working one they were different. So i went to my unpublished menu and created a NEW published item menu that pointed to ALL the categories, even tho i only have one ( Phoca gallery >> Categories) this made all my images including the one with the youtube code show up correctly.

I am not sure if you only need to create the phoca gallery >> categories, or both the categories and category.

Ty for great extencion and for the help i found in other posts. But i would like to recommend to make a sticky of this SEF problem since so many ppl are looking for the same answer and make it more detailed.

And a suggestion i would rly like to be able to have external images added to the gallery by URL other than picasa , like photobucket or flickr or any kind of URL. ty
