SEO4SMF adds adds extra slash "/" to search engine friendly URL

I am running SMF 1.1.7 and have installed SEO4SMF 0.2.9.10. On top of this I have insyalled Tiny portal 1.0.6.
I am displaying the recent posts on the home page. At the bottom of some of the blocks you see "Read More" which is pointing to the actual post in the forum. The URL has an extra slash "/" before the post name which makes the URL invalid. I.E http://www.mydomain.com/forum//topic.html I looked in the code. This is coming from the following code in the TPmodules.php
$row['body'] .= '...... <a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '".0>' . $txt['tp-readmore'] . '[/url]';

So it looks like "ID_TOPIC" has an extra / at the beginning. But the ID_TOPIC is being set inside the seo4smf-redirect (I think). When I turn off seo4smf or when I turn off search engine friendly url, then it works just fine.

So for example when Friendly URL is turned on, the "Read More" link is pointing to http://www.brostalk.com/forum//welfare_check-t62.0.html; which doesnt work because of the extra "/" before the topic. But then if I turn off Friendly URL, then the Read More link points to http://www.brostalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=62 which works just fine.

Any idea how I can fix this? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for trying to help. I have tried your suggestion. I went to the SEO4SMF option page and chose to add Board name to the URL, but that did not fix the issue. It is still adding the extra slash "/". So I am still getting // in the URL. maybe there should be something in between the slashes and is missing??

Take a look at the attachment.
I have turned on Board name in all 4 field and I still have the same issue.
Is this what you are referring to?
 

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the help.
I found the option you are referring to and unchecked it. But unfortunately it did not make much difference. I am still getting the double slashes in the URL

Sure, you can. Here it is. Thanks for helping.

Try commenting this line :

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(.+)/(.*)-t([0-9]*)\.([0-9]*).html$

I dont think this has anything to do with the .htaccess. This sounds like a bug to me. Please correct me if I am wrong. But this link is coming from the following code in the TPmodules.php

$row['body'] .= '...... <a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '".0>' . $txt['tp-readmore'] . '[/url]';

Which translates to something like: http://www.brostalk.com/forum//test-t69.0.html;

Between those two // there should be the board name which is missing. That is why the URL is not working. Shouldnt the code be something like:

$row['body'] .= '...... <a href="' . $scripturl . '?board=' . $row['ID_BOARD'] . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '".0>' . $txt['tp-readmore'] . '[/url]';

I tried that, but that doesnt work. What do you think?

Just to let you know I have started a thread to bring up this issue both on TP and SMF sites.
They think TP is working as designed and this is a SEO4SMF issue and need to be resolved in the mod. That is why I started this thread here.
