The script is easy to install and brings functionality to Joomla that should have been included in the DEFULT install!
[note:The script wont/cant be installed as a standard component. You need to extract it and upload it via FTP to the joomla site]

Keep up the great work guys and thanks again!

I've installed this patch, and I was hoping it will not destroy my instalation, because I already configured a 3RD party component that seem to work, even with VirtueMart 1.1.
BUT, no improvement.

It was simple to install and setup.
keep your work!!

Delete all of your keywords and description info.

This SEF patch generates double description & keywords if you don't. And that is defenitely NOT SEO friendly...

The bug is reported in other reviews here. The forum has open threads that are totaly ignored at the site regarding this bug. This might of course be related to that they probably want to be paid for the support, maybe, i just gotta guess when they ignore the posts like this...

Imagine how much work there is installing this component if you got let's say 500 articles - omg

Not to forget that it ain't all that checks their html code to often. My guess is that as long as long as they see a nice url after installing this comp - they are pleased, not knowing that they got a cluster of keywords etc)

I am not rating this as Verry Poor based upon the code it self. Just because of the small issues that are not being handled at a profesional level - cause the bug is MAJOR.

I of course will rate this totaly different if this "on install issue" gets fixed. But after my first atempt and now looking forward to 4-5 hours of work fixing my keywords etc = i give this a Verry Poor rating so far.

Owner's reply:
The double META tags are solved now. Also the META tags will NOT be removed.

First of all, I'd like to thank the author for his great work!

To describe this patch only 2 words are needed. It rocks!

It is a great seo enhancement, a must if you care about search engine positioning.
It is easy to install and manage. Updates seems to be released quickly enough after a new j! fix is out. This matters from a security point of view.

There is one problem related to keywords and description metatags: You'll have double tags if you already have set up them prior to patch, and no way to get rid of those doubles until you don't uninstall the patch, delete every keyword and description and repatch. If you have lot of articles it could be a really annoying task. So, before patching try to clear your tags.
This is a known issue, well documented by users in their forum (even with no response by owners). It should be fixed or, at least, documented in installing instructions.

4 stars, but once properly fixed, consider them as 5!

It does exactly as it says it does. Makes SEO allot easier when your updating your pages. click and point changes within the writing sections of Joomla.

Software even allows you to modify the base XML file that your standard tags are derived from.

I hope he continues to develop on it and they get it built into the core of Joomla.

Great work on documenting how it works on your site and great work with the design.

My advice is not to complicate the Joomla 1.5 SEO. Just install this core enhancement and your well on your way to improving your rankings.

The only question is - why isn't this just incorporated into the Joomla 1.5 framework?

Again you guys did a great job! I can always count on you taking joomla to the next level in seo, simple and easy.

I already was a big fan of the 1.0 SEO patch and I'm very happy with this new version for 1.5RC4.

Thanks very much!
