SOBI2 - Category URL's are not working

Whe using the main page of my SOBI2 component the system give 404 errors when clicking on the categories. If I go in to the ACESEF control panel and disable ACSEF they category links work again. An example of a category on my site is Windsurfing, Kitesurfing, Surfing etc.
http://waterhound.com/water-sports-directory.html

Not working url
http://waterhound.com/water-sports-dire … tings.html


I have tried with and without item id's and category ids' in the uRLS and purged URLS between tests. Used new browser too. I confirmed plugin for Sobi2 is installed. I am running sobi2 2.9.2.3 on joomla 1.5.14 and acesef 1.1.3

Thanks

David

Re: SOBI2 - Category URL's are not working

I did try that. I also shut off level 3 cache. I cleared them all and the system cache before testing. Cleared the browser and tested with a new one.

Still 404 error.

Another way to clear the 404 is to set the sobi2 extension to "ACESEF Basisc Rewrite".Then everything works. When set "ACESEF extension" the errors comeback. The directory category "Fun stuff listgings" seems to be particularly troublesome.

Re: SOBI2 - Category URL's are not working

still not working
meta tags=no
level 2 cache = no
purged urls
cleared second and 3rd level cache in sobi
cleared system cache
router =ACESEF extension



Changing routers to ACESEG Basic rewrite allows to work but URL are not as nice. Let me know if you want back end access to my system to take a look.

Re: SOBI2 - Category URL's are not working

Denis further research shows that the URLS for some categories just are not being built. It is very easy to recreate the issue. Just pruge URL's and it consistently reappears. Then I rebuild them manually and they work again. I see another user had the same issue in the other thread? Any solutions?


Thanks and let me know what the next step is.

David

Re: SOBI2 - Category URL's are not working

When SEF is enabled and Router is set to Ace BASIC Rewrite the following URL is generated. And works.
http://www.waterhound.com/water-sports- … ry/27.html

When SEF is enabled and Router is set to ACE Extenstion the following URL is generated and does not work.
http://www.waterhound.com/water-sports- … ities.html

The  URL with joomla core sef to this section is (and works)
http://www.waterhound.com/features/wate … y?catid=27

The real URL is
http://www.waterhound.com/index.php?opt … p;Itemid=2

HOwever I have to get that realURL from the front end with SEF disabled. NO URL is being built for this category at all inside ACESEF.
