how to find and edit any joomla content using the frontend url - joomla

How can I find this front-end URL(http://www.mediware.com/contact-mediware) in Joomla?
I have tried appending the ?tp=1 and that does not tell me where it is to edit.
I have tried finding it via ftp under the directory mod_menu.
I have tried finding it in Joomla back-end under the menu manager and menu items.
Thanks,

joomla html editor on the frontpage

I was wondering how one would go about implementing an editor like tinymce so that registered members of a joomla site can post articles, edit them, and get paid when someone downloads them
like thisenter image description here
This functionality is already built into Joomla.
All you need to do to enable this is to add a new "Create Article" menu option with Access = "Registered".
You will probably also need to enable a login module if there isn't one already so users can log in to the front end to see the new menu option.

Linking article pages on joomla that do not exist as a menu item

How do we link an article page on Joomla without it being published as a menu item? We have tried using the ID number, but it does not work.
For example, within one of our published pages we want to link to another article page but this page does not exist as a menu item- so there is not an url to use.
Please provide step-by-step instructions.
If you prefer to NOT have to create URLs manually you can try switching the editor that Joomla uses by default (TinyMCE). Personally I find JCE Editor much more useful. With that you can quickly generate links to menu items, content or even contacts all from their 'Insert/Edit Link' modal popup. It also has a more robust image manager. JCE Editor can even be installed from the 'Install from Web' tab of the Extension Manager Install page.

How can I test Joomla 3.2.1's use of custom template error.php file?

Joomla documentation http://docs.joomla.org/Custom_error_pages indicates that if your templates/mytemplate/error.php exists Joomla will load it instead of templates/system/error.php.
This is not happening on my site. Is there some setting or other condition that would prevent this from happening? I'm using the same template on another site with no problem. Maybe a php.ini, or .htaccess setting could be causing the problem.
As it turned out, I'm using a small template for only the "home" Joomla link. The entire site, with the exception of the "home" landing page is using mytemplate. When I moved the "home" menu selection to another link which was part of the main menu, all is well. The small template doesn't have an error.php file. So, Joomla must correlate the "home" menu selection's template assignment to the place where it will find the error.php file. I couldn't find any documentation to that effect.

How can I add PHP to a Joomla menu item?

Here's what I'm trying to do:
In Joomla 3.1, I'm using the K2 component to build a full content-driven news website.
All is well, but I just don't like the K2 Login module, and therein lies the rub. That module automatically generates two key links:
• Add Item
• My Page
I want to unpublish the login module and add both of these links to a standard Joomla menu. It's easy to add the "add item" link because it's essentially static.
But the "My Page" link is dynamic. I've found the PHP code that generates it:
<?php echo JText::_('My Page'); ?>
But I don't know how to make a plain old Joomla menu item -- as in, one that I add through the menu manager -- to generate that code.
Note: It's important that I be able to use the Joomla menu structure because I'm also using Joomla's access control to hide or show these buttons. Meaning, I've added a "contributor" usergroup, and I only want them to see these links.
Any bright ideas would be much appreciated! Thank you!
You should go to the template you are currently using, in their you create a html folder.
In that folder you create a mod_menu folder.
Than you got your Joomla root > modules > mod_menu.
And copy files which are inside and drop them in the html > mod_menu folder.
Now you can edit the mod_menu to your favors with a rewrite.

Hope this helps you.

Joomla 2.5 - sources of homepage content

Total Joomla newbie here. I've been asked to help with a site I didn't create, and I don't know Joomla. The site is using Joomla 2.5.
The homepage contains three featured articles, but some additional content is showing up below the third article, above the footer. The admin tool only shows three featured articles, and when I examine the source of the third article, there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it.
Where can this additional content be coming from? Any suggestions on how to track down how it is getting added to the page?
TIA!
Probably a module - check out the installed modules.
Check the active template, then go to the template folder > your template > index.php. this is the PHP of your site.
Here you can see what modules positions you have, and then check in the admin system > module manager what position is actually in use.
