session id in URL

[cominus]

We just uploaded our new website at www.totallycustomtruck.com . The first thing I noticed was the session id posted in the URL. When we tested the shopping cart at www.truckimprovement.com , we noticed the session id would appear only on the first linked page, after that it would drop off. In the admin panel, we have all "use search engine safe urls" set to true. The session options are set to /tmp, false, false, false, false, true, true.

What do we need to do now?

The key is in the proper designation of files and urls in the configure.php file. Some are meant to be relative and others must be absolute.

Thanks for looking and 'hey' to all who intended to write!

So wait, you got 'search engine safe url's' to work???? That's sweet. Pass this along to msaek with EXACTLY what you changed so he can put it in 1.8 or a patch to 1.7. There are ALOT of us that want that feature to work!

Thanks
