Here is my simple php page in which i have links to the Joomla article, but all links are broken, it returns "file not found". I understand, that these external links don't work because they indicate internal pages of Joomla(1.5). How should I configure them so they will start to work?
p.s.: please, forgive me for my terrible English.
You have to set the settings of the page to public. you can do it by using joomla options.
then get the URI try with that. Should work.
edit : also you might have to define the access levels. Follow this link as guide.

I am helping out with a Magento store initially configured by another developer who is now gone from the company, and I have no experience using Magento at all. Instead of using the built-in newsletter tools, he created an HTML form which points to a completely different server (which he owns) and now we no longer get notifications when a customer signs up for it.
Somehow, he embedded the HTML into the front page of the Store's website. I spent hours looking for the HTML and did find it, in a page called "Subscribe.phtml". I got happy, changed the code inside that page to what I want it to be, uploaded it back to the server and... nothing. No change at all to the site. I flushed the cache but that did not help.
The page does not appear to have much code in it. In CMS->Pages->Content, it shows only this:
{{block type="featuredproductslider/featuredproductslider" name="featuredproductslider"
template="magentothem/featuredproductslider/featuredproductslider.phtml"}}{{block
type="newproduct/newproduct" name="newproduct"
template="magentothem/newproduct/newproduct.phtml"}}
Under Design, it shows only that the layout is "3 columns". There is literally nothing else in this section.
Can you help me understand how I can change the HTML in this area to make this work? If this is helpful, here's a picture of the area that I am trying to configure:
Thank you.
On page 44 of the manual, there's a section called "How to find out which layout file to modify". I used Template Hints and figured out where the code lived. This is what Jim was referring to. It would have been nice for someone to instruct me on how to do this.
I set it up and found that the previous developer had modified the template directly rather than use blocks or other parts built-in to the system to modify the front page.
You can enable template hints in the Magento configuration:
Go to System->Configuration
Change "Current Configuration Scope" to "Main Website"
Go to Advanced->Developer
Under the Debug tab, choose "Yes" for the "Template Path Hints"
Save configuration.
Now go to your homepage, refresh the page and you will see paths to all templates used on the homepage. You will then get a good idea of where each block comes from.
It won't solve your problem, but it might help you find the right template to edit.
I am asking if is it possible do the following thing using Joomla
I have 2 different URL, something like: www.stupidname.com and www.seriousname.com
If the user open stupidname.com by his browser will open the website having a stupid template
If the user open seriusname.com by his browser will open the website having a serious template
The website and the content are the same...should only change the template according to the url open in the browser
Do you have some ideas about how to do this thing?
Thanks
Andrea
I've done this before making elements of a template conditional based on the domain name, and that can work well. I suppose you could extend the same logic to change the template.
Perhaps you could add a conditional to both template's index.php to change the template. Perhaps something like...
if ( substr_count( $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], "silly") ) {
$GLOBALS["mainframe"]->setTemplate = "silly_template_name";
} else {
$GLOBALS["mainframe"]->setTemplate = "serious_template_name";
}
...I've not tested this, but I think in principle it should work fine, though it might depend on which Joomla version you have.
There are, as saji89 pointed out, plenty of good multi-site extensions and that'd be an ok solution too.
From my personal experience with Joomla I can advise you to use the component Virtual Domains (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/multiple-sites/7557) you can add the domains which you redirect to the main site where Joomla is installed and it this component you assign them the template you want.
I can confirm the functionality on Joomla 2.5 latest update with usage of around 5+ different Virtual Domains on one Joomla installation.
Some possible downsides i want to mention:
SEO links can get sometimes messy, you need to play with some SEO component and its settings
its better to use same structure and components for boths side its easier because otherwise the administration gets messy but its possible
the user which register on one website has automatically account on all of them because its one Joomla
Recently I've been looking into Opencart as a solution for simple E-commerce websites. I like it a lot, but I can't seem to get the redirection right.
I am using lighttpd as a web server, and I've noticed that Opencart offers Apache .htaccess configuration for SEO URL's, but no luck for lighttpd.
Opencart uses URLs that are formed like this:
Login Page: http://[domain]/index.php?route=account/login
Product Page: http://[domain]/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=51
Ideally, I would like to have something like this:
Login Page: http://[domain]/index.php/account/login
Product Page: http://[domain]/index.php/product/51/[product-name]
Of course, any pointers in the right direction are highly appreciated. Even a short explanation of where to find the right way to handle rewrites in Lighty would be helpful!
Thanks in advance.
A lot of people have had issues with 1 4 19-5lenny and earlier apparently. If you want to rewrite urls the way you have above, you will need to parse them yourself using your own custom hook (see the preAction in the index.php for handling them by default). Note that you will also need to manually edit urls like the account one since they aren't even sent through the url rewriter before being output
I made a component and now I want to customize the link for it.
I already wrote the router.php.
The link to the component view (if I use the JRoute function of course) now looks good, except for the first part, which looks like :
http://www.example.com/en/component/componentname/...
don't mind the "en", it's there cause I use JomFish to manage more languages on my site.
I want to transform "/component/componentname/" to "/myString/" for example.
I can't use the menu for this, cause my site displays info from a database, linking this many sites to my menu is impossible.
The only solution I found requires the changing of the Joomla JRoute function (I found only a suggestion, not how it's done :( ).
What about using mod_rewrite to rewrite your url?
Basically you put the rewrite rules into your .htaccess file and Apache will handle the rest.
There is a great guide that teaches you all about it on http://www.htmlist.com/how-to/a-simplemod_rewrite-tutorial/
In MyBB forums you must have seen that all those threads are stoed as forum.com/Thread-Name-of-the-thread
So now this is static right ?
So now i have a site which has
blog.com/search.php?=SEARCHED+TEXT
So now how do i save this search so that Google can find out this page on my site ?
Indirectly what i mean to say is how i can i make
blog.com/SEARCHED+TEXT.html
"So now this is static right?" No. Just because the URL doesn't end in .php or similar doesn't mean it's static. It's time for you to learn the wonders of mod_rewrite:
http://www.workingwith.me.uk/articles/scripting/mod_rewrite
Your first example isn't static at all. It's just using a tool to route the request based on the URL.
All you need to get the same functionality is to investigate URL Routing in PHP and implement it in your application as well.
If you want Google to index this search page you have to tell Google it exists, either through a Sitemap or by putting a link on your site that Google can crawl. Google did fill in forms in the past, but I am not sure if they still do and afaik, they only did on a selected few sites.
To make the search static, you have to render the page once and store it in a file. Whether you do that manually by simply calling up the file in your browser and then saving it or by means of a Caching System is up to you.
