Oh.. one final question.. when you say you are using .htaccess, you mean that Joomla is still creating the SEF URL right.. you're not doing the actual re-writing yourself in the .htaccess file on a per-page basis? If so, and you're skipping Joomla's SEF altogether, that's a whole other bag of worms.

Both, alas. Joomla SEF and my own .htaccess rewriting. So my solution was to add a new field in parallel with the URL and call it $displayURL. I pass in non-SEF URLs for all real work, but then give the display URL to Facebook. It works. I made it default to null, and use the original URL if not set, maintaining backwards compatibility with your plugins.

But no third party SEF. Just Joomla's, and almost everything has a menu item with alias.
