SEF Test

Troubleshooting SEF URLs is a common job for Joomla! admins. This plugin allows for easy switching between SEF and non-SEF, without hassling your users.

The SEF Test plugin allows you to turn on and off SEF from the URL for your own session, without changing the Global Configuration options. It's a very simple tool for testing SEF out on a production site with Global SEF disabled, and fetching non-SEF URLs on a SEF-enabled site. A must when building Joomla! sites.

Development sites are sometimes hosted on publicly available sites, while access is still unwanted. This plugin allows for HTTP authentication based on Joomla! users.
