Bad Request – Invalid URL when linking to documents listed from EFL Pro Plugin and module

[stevesr71]

I have the plugin and module displaying the contents of a directory, but the href tags have strange location. Example: http://vigor.southcentral.edu/index.php/component/com_easyfolderlistingpro/data,eNpFUNFOwzAM_JXKP9AWxFww95Ex7QPgOfISt42UpVHiikmIf1wnWVrtyfad73wyYd_hb8IDwrg4wxGGhC_vCD98MYtObeTEFPWsyBsVHHlv_dR-LM7xxOpIQupEWtKd_4rsTSoWfY-wJo7VtEII3U5NK1wneRx8RVDqjpXprUo9XbmMHUIph4paA4PFropcIrtAMhf6KavavtmCNZ8-5u7KXppHqLwyWse7cZF8e7MGZzUJm-bMZPSyFs1cIuTKzjMC32Trghm3tHwLNn9mj5J_CCRCei4XYbhk9O8f89tyZw,,/format,raw/view,download/

A page on my site that uses both the content plugin and module is: http://vigor.southcentral.edu/index.php/Research-Planning-and-Grants/data-facts-and-trends.html

I’m guessing it’s a setting somewhere but I haven’t been able to track it down.

@stevesr71. Thanks for posting.

This is a result of your SEF settings. The links are obfuscated. And some SEF extensions will attempt to change the links to files, and then you would get an error. You need to go into the SEF setting for whatever SEF extension you are using and setup an exception for Easy Folder Listing Pro component links.

What extension are your using to apply SEF to your links?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I was able to go into the options for SH404sef(4.4.6.2271) URL manager, click on the green configuration button and choose “General > By component” then “Leave as non-sef” for the Easyfolderlistingpro component. Problem solved! Thanks again.
