NO MORE 404! This small component is a 404 redirect handler for Artio JoomSEF. While Artio is an excellent SEF component, it is possible 404 / Page Not Found errors can arise for various reasons. This component automatically fixes and redirects those 404 / Page Not Found errors or gives a search results page. The user never sees the 404 page but is redirected to the correct content item. Other than a mambot call in the default 404 file (see below), no configuration is required. Anyone using Artio SEF can benefit by installing this component.

Features (in order of processing):

1) Automatically strips -2.html, -3.html, -5.php etc.. from erroneous URL and redirects to root URL.
2) Redirects erroneous section/category/2.html, .../345.php etc... URLs to default index
3) Determines and extracts title from URL then automatically searches and redirects to content item. Magic!
4) Automatic redirect to list of search results

The component keeps a running log of all 404 redirects and searches. The log is viewable and downloadable (as an excel spreadsheet) from the backend interface. It is a simple install component with one DB table (404 log). No core files are ever modified.
