Passing a variable in the URL

Hi,

I have added a variable to the URL like this:
Viewing own Profile
example.com/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&Itemid=113&b=1

Guest viewing the Profile
example.com/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userprofile&user=807&Itemid=113&b=1

When I turn on SEF URLs I get this:
Viewing own Profile
example.com/index.php/members&b=1

Guest viewing the Profile
example.com/index.php/members/userprofile/807&b=1

The variable b= is used to load different content.

With the SEF URLS on, and viewing own profile a 404 - Article not found error is given.

And when viewing as guest the variable no longer works, but the page loads.

Is there a way to get this working with SEF URLS on.

It works fine with SEF URLs off.

Thanks

First variable of a URL should be ?b=1 not &b=1. Are you manually constructing the SEF URL? Always supply the URL as non-SEF and let Joomla format it. For example the below will work fine.

example.com/index.php/members/userprofile/807?b=1

Hi,

This is the way it is constructed:
Viewing own Profile
example.com/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&Itemid=113&b=1

Guest viewing the Profile
example.com/index.php?option=com_comprofiler=807&Itemid=113&b=1

But SEF then changes it to:
Viewing own Profile
example.com/index.php/members&b=1

Guest viewing the Profile
example.com/index.php/members/userprofile/807&b=1

The ?option= has the ? that is why I had the &

I don't know what more to advise then. CB is not responsible for the extra variables or the SEFing of the URL. That's entirely handle by Joomla. Are you using a 3rd party SEF extension? If so try disabling it and using Joomla SEF only.
