SerrBizSEF has been updated and includes rules for VirtueMart, Fireboard, Community Builder, HotProperties, etc. It also works with DS Syndicate and JooMap.

Additionally, we have added a NEW Redirect control panel which does the following.

1) You can manually set any url to point to any content item. (Good if you are moving fom one platform to joomla.)

2) You can manually set any url to point off site.
Yourdomain.com/url.html to http://newsite.com

3) If an SEF already exists, and for some reason you change it, the system will REDIRECT the OLD SEF to the NEW one.

For example. SerrBizSEF might automatically create a URL like this for /section/category/widgets.html

Say you change it later to just /widgets.html

SerrBizSEF knows this, and makes a note, and will redirect all requests to /section/category/widgets.html

Wonderful! The info is so helpful. You open up another door here. Thanks a lot guys! As of today, I am still using OpenSEF but along the way this will change.

@Micheal,

I tried SerrBizSEF, but was not impressed…

It didn’t give me the configuration options I would like to see, maybe it has improved by now, or I should have tried the Sponsored version, but for now my favorite is still the free sh404SEF component.

If you would like to read more about the others, Steve has a great comparison post at http://www.alledia.com/blog/joomla-urls/complete-sef-url-extension-comparison/

Since you wrote this article a new Joomla SEO / EF component has been released by Serr.biz.

It’s called SerrBizSEF.

In addition to SEFS, it allows users to create meta for EVERY page of Joomla, and effectively handles 99% of the duplicate content issues of Joomla.

Now, there is one SEF no matter how you navigate to a content item.

The basic package is free to download.
The upgrade or complete package only costs $19.95.

Upgrade / Complete package includes special rules for:

VirtueMart, Community Builder, Hot Properties, DS Syndicate, AKO comment and others.

Note: We are also working on a package to help people quickly convert from OpenSEF, since it is no longer support and had tons of duplicate content problems…in fact, that’s why we built SerrBizSEF, because OpenSEF creates duplicate content and is unsupported.
