Hi folks, I cleaned up the code further, fixed the unittests and fixed the codestyle. Please give this another round of tests.

To test, please apply these changes and enable the new routing in the global configuration. Then check the URLs of the site. The best would be, if you could test this on a copy of a real site. The sampledata of Joomla has already been tested and works. When you test these changes, the URLs should stay the same in most cases. The only time when the URL will be changed by this is when the menu item links to a category and the content item is in a child-child-category of the linked category.

Hi again,
Just had a short (10 Minute) look. Used latest staging Joomla and VirtueMart 3.0.12, both bilingual. After adding #8256 with the patch-tester, I didn't see any difference in urls with 'Use new URL routing' enabled/disabled. Seems to work fine at the first glance. I might have another look on Sunday.

@test
Looks like working fine here on my multilingual test site, sef on.
Did not test the child-child situation yet.

[infograf768]

Please alpha order new lang strings.

[brianteeman]

will or may?

[Hackwar]

You are right, it "may" change your URLs.

[anibalsanchez]

Tested on a news site, upgraded to Joomla 3.5, installed the new router, crawled Urls with Screaming Frog and compared results. No differences found in resulting Urls.

I've updated the branch. Please notice that I've moved the setting for advanced routing from the global configuration to the component configuration for each specific component.

[wilsonge]

Merged into 3.6.x branch :)

[810]

UsersHelperRoute::getLoginRoute(); is set to deprecated, what's the new call, or are the deprecated tags wrong on the j3.6/7 branch, because on the 4.0 branch its still there

[wilsonge]

4.0 branch is currently based on staging not the 3.7 branch :)
