Not sure if this is a Civi or Joomla! issue.

We are using CiviCRM to create searchable profiles. For some of the profiles, we want to add direct links to the results within our Joomla! content pages. The problem is that we're using the built-in Joomla! SEF and it's rewriting those links. Clicking on them causes errors.

For example, the menu link to the searchable directory would have this format and works fine:
/component/option,com_civicrm/Itemid,41/lang,en/

If I do a search from there, it generates the search results at this path without a problem:
/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/profile&_qf_Search_display=true

However, if I enter the path above into one of my Joomla! content pages, it rewrites the URL like this and causes a "You do not have permission to execute this url" error message:
/component/option,com_civicrm/task,civicrm/profile/_qf_Search_display,true

Some things to note:

    * Joomla 1.0.15
    * CiviCRM 2.0
    * Install is in a subdirectory


Has anyone else run into this? Is there a way to change the htaccess file so that Joomla! won't rewrite the CiviCRM links within a content page?

Are you using the default Joomla SEF or an extention.

If you don't mind the extention route, sh404sef is a good one and has the ability to bypass the rewrites on civicrm.
