Thanks for your quick reply, In my openSEF configuration, in components for my com_zoom media gallery I enabled the "use alias" name as gallery.
I have also uploaded sef_ext.php to my /components/com_zoom/ folder
Do i have to modify any other zoom component or how do i use this.
i have also turned off the hot link protection, made new gallery with only alpha characters and filename as well with no spaces but the url still isnt friendly
I just found out on my main page when i put my mouse over the link that says Media gallery, it is
http://www.mydomain.com/gallerywhen i click on the link it takes me to /component/option,com_zoom/Itemid,41/
then if i go to
www.mydomain.com/gallery/test/ the gallery page comes up, but i click the file and its not friendly. And from the main gallery page if i click the gallery name test, the hyperlink is not friendly as well , so basically its only friendly if i type it manually in the address bar.
thanks and sorry for the noob questions

no ideas what to do heh
