(Very frustrating Are they any plans to include other SEF's with Hikashop (which I beleve to be the superior online store for Joomla).")* Hi, SEF is available by default in Joomla. And HikaShop is compatible with the SEF system in Joomla. You don't need any third party component to have SEF with Joomla and HikaShop. Also, AceSEF is also compatible with HikaShop, not only Sh404SEF. JoomSEF states on there website: support for sef_ext.php files written for OpenSEF or SEF Advance (since v1.4.0) support for Joomla API router.php files That's good news for you since HikaShop has both a router.php and a sef_ext.php file for SEF support so you should be able to use it with HikaShop. HikaShop is an ecommerce extension, not a SEF engine extension. It's not our role to handle all the SEF of your website so you will never see a SEF engine in HikaShop. If we were to do a SEF extension one day, it would be a separate extension, but we don't have any such plan and there is still a lot of things left to do in HikaShop ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzItZ2VuZXJhbC10YWxrLWFib3V0LWhpa2FzaG9wLzc3MzgxLXNlZi1mb3ItaGlrYXNob3Atam9vbWxhLTMtMC1hbmQtYmV5b25kP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[sambob](/forum/user/7887-sambob "View sambob's Profile")** - [![sambob's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar7887.png)](/forum/user/7887-sambob "View sambob's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/7887-sambob) Less More - Posts: 260 - Thank you received: 25 - - [](https://viemedia.com.au) - 13 years 10 months ago [\#85315](#85315) by [sambob](/forum/user/7887-sambob "View sambob's Profile") Replied by *[sambob](/forum/user/7887-sambob "View sambob's Profile")* on topic *[SEF for Hikashop (Joomla 3.0 and beyond)](/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop/77381-sef-for-hikashop-joomla-3-0-and-beyond#85315 "Hi all, I am wondering if they are any thoughts about SEF via other components other than sh404sef.

Wasnt meant to be a question about whether you was going to develop an SEF app, but what sef components/devs you were working on/with. (Currently there is only one J3.0 compatable) I have used sh404sef for several years across several sites (including Hikashop sites)but there is no indication yet when there will have J3.0 compatibility. So am looking at options/alternatives. While the default Joomla sef works, it is very limited when it comes to url customization etc. Again, thanks for reply... appreciate the great service and product! --- Don't look at what is and ask 'why?'; look at what isn't and ask 'Why Not!'
