SEF / Error: 500 only on album pages

Hello there -

I'm just about to launch a site that uses Music Collection to display a band's discography.

When I turn SEF off, everything is fine. When I turn it on, the album list / layout / grid displays just fine - but when I try to select any album, I get "500 - Layout "grid" not found".

It tells me "grid" is the problem regardless of which album layout I'm actually starting from. I get the same problem with or without turning on mod_rewrite or add suffix in the admin, and regardless of whether I use the .htaccess file or not.

The URL it's trying to use is

theurlofmysite.com/index.php/music?view=album&id=1

theurlofmysite.com/index.php/music works fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks.

    hello,

    I'm not sure what this can be. there are two plugins (for sh404sef and jomsef) for third party SEF engines for joomla that work fine with MC (you can se Jomsef working on this very site), but this error you say, I hadn't seen it before.

    the only solution that comes to my mind right now is this:

    copy the file /components/com_muscol/views/album/tmpl/default.php to the same folder, but rename it to "grid.php"

    try again and tell me if you get the problem.

    this is not a final solution, but it may work

    Hey, that did the trick. Thanks so much! I also had to do it in the song folder, but then it was fine.

    Let me know if you need any more info about it... the one other detail I forgot to mention was that I had moved the Joomla installation from a /joomla subdirectory into the root. Not sure if that should affect anything (I hadn't tried SEF when it was in the subfolder, so I don't know if it would've worked there) but thought I should mention it.

    Thanks tons!

    :lol:

    well, actually this may be the cause :lol:
    it is not usually a good idea to move the folder once Joomla has been installed..

    anyway, if now its working, great :)
