its true what others are saying this ARTIO JoomSEF will stuff up your site

i did full install with all plugins i needed and it broke things in the site like other here say it does

you cannot register with comprofiler

links to their site all over the place

it would lower your SEO rating

Owner's reply: This is simply not true. Of course there might be conflicts with other components, but if configured correctly, it will work just fine.
If you read documentation carefully, you should have no problems.
As regards links, I have already replied many times - if you mind them, get a paid version.

Perfect and Simple

I am a newbie and was a little bit scared, reading the reviews from some people that has problems. I made a backup first and installed it according the documentation and that's it! Everything worked out fine at my first attempt(2 minutes).

Thanks a lot,

Does all that it says it will and does it quite well.

ArtioSEF never worked

I bought ArtioSEF 3 months ago and I was unable to make it work. It does creates the links but there is a 404 error when you want to go to any page other than the home page (whic is ok). I tried to connect Artio Support but they didn't reply. I asked them to help me or I will dispute the charges but they still didn't care so I gave up. Then, a few days ago I again tried to copy and paste the .httaccess file as mentioned in their forum to fix the problem and it again didn't work. I emailed them again and no answer after 3 days. DO not buy their product. They sell you a software that doesn't work promissing you that the support is included and then they won't provide any support and you have to pay another 40 Euro to buy support and then again god knows if they will fix you problem or not.

Owner's reply: Hello,

we might have not replied, if you have not even read the basic FAQs, which list most of the possible causes of 404 error: http://www.artio.net/faqs/artio-joomsef/troubleshooting/404-page-not-found-error-after-clicking-any-link

We do our best to answer as much questions of our users as we can. But we cannot repeat the same answers all the time - we would not be doing anything else - that is why FAQ exist. So, just take time to read it!

Great component but...

Component is great, but inserting spam links to almost every page is just too much, very disapointed.

Owner's reply: Hi, if you do not link that, so why do not you get licensed version that does not include those? (btw. I do not know why you call it a spam link, it is a regular back link same as in many other Joomla component)

Even on these pages you can see in footer, that this directory is powered by "Mosets Tree".

If want to you use the result of our work for free, I think there is no reason to mind pointing a link to us.

Works great but needs help

Granted they have a nice organized website and seem to be thourough and it appears a lot of work went into this module but these developers are corrupt - they place (invisible) ads that are inserted into component which is placed into footer and site meta! If I am to pay for something I own it. It is like buying a pair of jeans - I am not buying that pair of jeans to let you wear them - they are mine to wear. So when I bought this module it becomes mine and you do not advertise off of my sites!

You would be much better off just using the Joomla backend SEF option. Plus it does not work with JomSocial. They want an additional € 8.50 dollars for the plugin. I am requesting my money back. When you develop you should learn to support. Most of these developers these days are children without any business sense - al thye care about is money. REFUND!!!

Owner's reply: Not sure what you are talking about???

There are 2 editions
1. free that contains backreference to ARTIO as authors; this fact is clearly stated EVERYWHERE on our site -- also it is mention here
2. paid (sponsored) that does not contain these links or any other information such as metada or similar

If you have purchased paid version and installed it, there is no way where you could have any meta or links added in your page.
Second, the are NOT INVISIBLE.
So what you say is simply a LIE.

As regards your opinion about comparing software and jeans, I guess you have a long way to go as regards learning about author rights and software licenses. So, no comment on that.

Btw. if you have problems, you can can always talk to us directly, instead of throwing dirt here.

Everything's Fine But Meta Ads Are Not!

This component works well but the only problematic thing is the (invisible)ads that are inserted by component into footer and site meta!

Invisible links may affect your Search Engine rankings and it is better to use some other component for this.

Also, meta ad insertion is disappointing and it's like having a MS Word file that has "Created With MS Word" after every page!

Very poor and sneaky tactic by developer!

Owner's reply: The provided informaiton is simply NOT TRUE.
1. there are no HIDDEN links
2. there are links only in FREE edition
3. all this information is clearly stated both in ARTIO webpages + the Joomla Extensions Directory

I regret for buying this

This is one of the few items I regret having payed for, both due to problems I had with it and also due to the poor level of support.

JoomSEF doesn't work properly with Community Builder and Kunena (to name a few popular components). The CB login & CB register modules do not work unless you skip CB in JoomSEF.

I also had to skip Kunena since my site's members couldn't post any messages.

I emailed the company 6 times during the last 2 weeks asking for their help. At the beginning they asked me to describe my problems. I did that. After that they remained silent despite the numerous emails I sent them.

Panos Efstathiadis

Owner's reply: Dear Panos,

I regret you have this experience, but we are e.g. using Kuneno on our own site - with the same plugin - and our users do not have any problems in sending posts.
So just make sure you are using the latest versions of everything.
As regards support, we do as much as we can, but our capacities are limited (usualy because of users that do not read FAQs and ask the same things over and over).

Good service. works as it promises

Cool component that works as it says it does. As a newcomer to Joomla support is very important. I had some teething troubles with installation however the support service form Artio got me up and running very fast.

Works like it claims

I downloaded this component and bought the plugin for my Sobi2 directory component. The goal was to have a business directory with SEF URLs. I did not desire or need the rest of my site to be SEF. I ran into difficulty trying to configure it but to be fair, this component has a lot going on. It's easy to not do it right if you are uninitiated. I emailed the creator and he asked me to pay for one hour of support. I am sure I took up more than an hour of his time but he stuck with me until the component was working. Any difficulty that I had was my own lack of knowlege. Now installed right, it works as advertised and I'm thrilled at the job it does.
