Important

For successfully running of this component, Joomla! core file needs to be edited. Please do this change only if you know what you are doing. Before it, backup the edited file. Edit the libraries/joomla/error/error.php file (with help of text editor), add into the "raiseError" method (row + - 169) the following code:

1
2
3
4

5
6
7
8 <?php //PHOCAEDIT if ($code == '404') { include_once( JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS. 'com_phocasef'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'phocasef.php' ); PhocaSefHelper::createUrlEntry(); } //PHOCAEDIT ?>

Copy the code which begins with //Phocaedit and ends with //Phocaedit (don't copy and paste the php beginning and ending tags). You should paste it before:
$reference = & JError::raise(E_ERROR, $code, $msg, $info, true)

Save the file. Now the Phoca SEF is installed.
