Phoca SEF Component

Phoca SEF is a Joomla! component. This component doesn't create SEF links. It is a small component which has three main functions:

* Storing links from sites which end with 404 Error
* Redirecting selected site which ends with 404 Error to new site
* Storing refering sites.

Using this component should be useful e.g. if you did some alternation on your site and your links will be changed (upgrade of Joomla! version, enabled SEF, enabled mod_rewrite, changed structure of content, ...) or if you need to find wrong links on your site.

Very easy installation and usage. It is also possible to add urls manually.

Note: You have to edit Joomla core file to get this work.

Revamped my site and ended up with a number of 404 – search for a solution found this – installed it – worked like a charm.
Thanks
This very simple and plug-and-play component is very useful when moving to Joomla existing sites, and you want to preserve existing links, for example indexing in Google Search...

After installing (it needs a Joomla core file editing, not very good but it's simple) it monitors all 404 errors received on the site, and for them you can set the auto-redirect url. So users don't see anything and you don't lose visit!

It works with Joomla 1.5 native SEF urls, that is very good for me.
Thank you to Phoca!!!

Nother GREAT component, just love it.
Only had to do the file for a second time before I dropped code in right place, but after that it worked, 100%! Good component, it works and yes it works!

If you only need a simple redirection utility then this is it! Installation is pretty straight forward and it is easier to edit error.php than .htaccess - just. :-)
Also need to remember that if redirecting old site links you only need the part of the link after the domain name. I guess this should be obvious but it caught me for about 30sec!!
Great work Phoca.

Very simple to implement - I was migrating a client's site written purely in html into Joomla. They had good page results in google and I didn't want these lost. Using Phoca SEF allowed me to redirect the old html addresses to the new page locations so users won't be stuck with the old 404. Thanks for this component!
Nice component when you have changed your website a couple of times and didn't know or thought about redirection. I had lots (1000+) of 'not founds' in the webmaster tools of Google and reduced that number increasingly in couple of weeks.

It's also handy if you are going to change the website a little (like depublish one article and have one other article instead)

Also nice to see the referring sites. So you know if you have to update some really old article or something like that.

And of course is the support superb (as with all other Phoca extensions)
Brilliant little component that does exactly what is says! Automatically collects 404 errors. All you need to do is add a new link and the page request will be redirected.

Very useful component if you are using core SEF.

Thank you.

Recently change the structure of my site. This component is the answer if you want to keep up with the changes, especially if you got outdated links within your articles. This extension will track everything you need to know and also will enable you to redirect old links to the new ones (great for SEO).

Thanks for this valuable tool.
