My Joomla 1.5 site was reinstalled after some problems. Since then, when I add images to an existing or new article, the new images display fine if the article appears on the first page, but not if the article is linked to a menu. The old pictures that were there before the reinstall are fine either way.
Any idea how to solve this problem ?
Thnks !
You have a problem with relative / absolute paths.
The former i.e. images/something.png will fail when you have SEF urls turned on (so if your URL looks like http://yoursite.com/burning/vulcanoes, the relative path is interpreted as http://yoursite.com/burning/images/something.png instead of looking for the image at its location in the root.
Most likely you weren't using SEF on the previous host. Joomla controls this through the SEF plugin (which you need to enable in the plugins administrator page). Just enable the plugin, clear the cache and you should start seeing the images again.

I am currently pulling hair out of my head, as I have spent over 7 hours on this. Here's the problem
I am setting prestashop on my free hosting and trying to install new theme (freshmarket). Everything installs just fine but effects are not working. There are some elements of the default-bootstrap style I cant remove, and I've tried many ways (deleting modules, deleting files directly from ftp folders etc etc) Logo stays the same, menu stays the same, green bar isn't there, and even photos of sample products are from default theme.
here is the url http://nasiona.cba.pl/
and it should look like this www.templatemela.com/demo/PRS050107/
I checked version description of theme and it says it would work on prestashop 1.6.1.4 (which is installed on the server).
#Egg, yes, you're right, sorry.
as for your question - my settings http://i63.tinypic.com/2yvjwye.png (i hope you can see anything cause I wanted to show it all)
Disable the cache (you can refer to Prestashop help http://doc.prestashop.com), reload the page with Ctrl + F5 (clear your browser cache) and check.
I have a weird issue where when I create a new article in Joomla, no matter what it's called and visit it, it shows content from a completely different page (consistently the same page). In the content that shows, if I click on the title which is hyperlinked to it's own page, it goes to a different URL with the same content.
The aliases aren't the same on any of the pages and the content that shows is from a completely different article. I don't see any redirects on the site and there are a bunch of other articles that have been on the site for a while now that work fine.
Any ideas on where to look?
There are several reasons for this problem:
sh404SEF gone mad (Here's an example of the myriad of problems we had with this extensions: http://www.itoctopus.com/sh404-the-worst-joomla-extension ) if you have it installed.
Weird redirects in the .htaccess file (have you checked it thoroughly?)
Issues with your template
An unstable SEF plugin installed on your website (other than sh404SEF )
I'm using two great modules for Silverstripe 3 but there is a conflict somewhere which I can't work out. I've asked the developers but they have not found the solution yet.
Modules:
FocusPoint which allows you to choose where the image crops from. Great!
https://github.com/jonom/silverstripe-focuspoint
Gallery, popular gallery module.
https://github.com/frankmullenger/silverstripe-gallery
Both work fine. But Focus points do not "save" within the gallery section of a Gallery page. You can edit and choose the focus point but after saving it snaps back to the previous position. You can alter the focus point in the Files tab of the CMS so it must be how Gallery saves each image.
I have updated the template to CroppedFocusedImage but this is not a template issue.
It would be a very helpful addition.
Can you please provide some details of failure? Do you see any warning or error messages if you run in dev mode? Any small black error box on left-top when you save?
If FocusPoint module does not work, you can have a look at folder permissions or maybe any PHP libraries like ImageMagick, GD support etc. Maybe you you changed something during upgrade?
If both modules work individually, but the problem is cropped image is not saved in correct directory, it is another issue although it could still be permission issue.
You can set which folder it needs to save into, same as how you set in normal UploadField. But it wouldn't change just because of your upgrade.
For anyone looking for the answer it has been resolved here: https://github.com/frankmullenger/silverstripe-gallery/pull/23
I have an annoying problem and am hoping someone will be able to help.
We use quite a few extensions on our Joomla site (Roksprocket mainly but also Global News Filter for instance).
The modules themselves are working fine however when I click on an article in one of these modules the article opens but it doesn't use the nice URL that should be displayed (we have Search Engine Friendly URLs set to Yes and Use URL rewriting set to Yes). This happens for all modules that draw off a category (so I don't think its linked to a specific extension).
For instance on our Case Studies page if you click on Read More on the RSA Case Study you get this URL
http://www.assima.net/en/resources/case-studies/99-home/resources/case-studies/ats-case-studies/649-case-study-rsa
but what you should get is the menu item URL associated with this article which is this
http://www.assima.net/en/resources/case-studies/ats-case-studies/rsa
I don't think there is anything wrong with our .htaccess as I reverted back to the default Joomla one and it still occured.
Also this used to work perfectly. I first noticed it around October or November last year.
If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it, I've googled the problem many times and not found any help.
Thanks
Emma
FIXED.
Due to a Joomla bug. Fixed by overwriting the route.php file as described in this post: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=625&t=831007&start=30
I want to test whether turning on joomla's SEF links option in global configuration works for my site.
If it doesn't work... can I just turn it back off again without issue?
I don't want to accidentally break my site entirely.
Also - are backlinks maintained when it's turned on for anyone linking to the old non-sef links?
(using Joomla 1.5)
Turning SEF URL's on and off is a simple task. If you need to switch from one to the other, it's a simple click of a radio button.
The only problem being though is that some components do not support SEF URL's. Most do but there might be some on your site that unfortunately don't. So make sure yo test all links. If some don't work, just turn SEF off
