External links was the recommended method in Joomla 1.5 and CB 1.x when there was no other easy way.

So, old installations have plenty of those, and and I don't see any reasons they shouldn't be migrated too to internal links where such options exist, and to new URLs in all cases.

Sorry guys, just found out that I can apparently edit anything on the forge.... Just wanted to try it out and it worked...

External links are migrated as best as possible. This is done as per #6389. Not all can be migrated though, but will be adding more migration with the changes made for this ticket. The changes made for this ticket will be to match exactly how Joomla handles the com_content component.

It's already gone and has been since CB 2.0. The only trace of task left is converting it to view when it's supplied for B/C. Old installs that never updated their menu items are strictly the problem here. Joomla does not parse external menu items when SEF is enabled.

Edit is how you add comments. It's not user friendly here, but it's not really intended to be as it's just our issue tracker. You do not have permissions to edit the actual ticket though or at least shouldn't.

Looks like the Itemid should still be set in the URL, but the SEF handling needs to act as if it didn't find a menu item for alias usage. This is how core Joomla is doing it for all of its components and appears to be working when done this way. The problem is broken external URLs have the component database value set and this appears to happen when you create an internal CB menu item then change it to external the component value is then set. Will add an additional check to the router to just ignore menu items that are not type = component for SEF purposes, which solves that issue entirely.
