I've got a little strange behavior from a joomla website (2.5) with the url rewriting.
Here is my situation:
Two identical Websites. One runs with joomla 1.5, the other with joomla 2.5. Both on a IIS 7. There is a external plugin (build by own) which posts a list of article-links on both joomla. Some kind of a "latest news" module on the homepage.
This plugin posts link with a url like this:
index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2518&Itemid=97&lang=de
This link is working, if the URL-rewrite is switched off in joomla back-end. Now when I switch on the url-rewriting. The links look like these:
Joomla 1.5
http://example.com/de/category/news/2518.html (link does work!)
Joomla 2.5
http://example.com/de/category/news.html?id=2518 (link does not work! 404)
It seems there is a difference between those joomla versions. Can anyone give me a hint to solve this problem with joomla 2.5? thank you very much.
I've found a solution. Now I build my links in the plugin with JRoute:
$link = JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=$id&catid=$catid:$catalias&Itemid=$itemid");

I have to do a multi-language site in Joomla 2.5 or later?
for this I active the module language selector and a plugin filter language and now the router of my page is http...../es but the browser show this error.
The requested URL /.../es/ was not found on this server.
I also create content a menu, but show me the same error.
any idea.
Look, I don't want to be rude, but Joomla 1.7 is really outdated and there little sense in using it noways. Consider 2.5.x or 3.x.
To answer your question, there is a really good tutorial on how to do this. Did it a lot of times and works very good.
Language Switcher Tutorial
How can I start developing a component for the Joomla 1.5 framework? Does anyone know of a good tutorial, or has a good reference?
I have read the tutorial on the wiki and I didn't understand it well, so if you could point me to another one, that would be great.
I know that ideally I should work with Joomla 2.5 or 3.0 but I am being asked to develop this for an existing website, I can't decide which version to work on.
I think the official tutorials in Joomla! Documentation really do cut it. Give it a try - http://docs.joomla.org/Component_Development
I can't decide which version to work on
I personally would use Joomla 2.5 as it's the long term lease of the Joomla series and has much more documentation and support. Joomla 3.0 is the short term release, therefore is a beta version of 3.5 so to speak.
Seeing as you are using Joomla 1.5 at the moment, you could always upgrade to Joomla 2.5 using JUpgrade which is a free extension. Note that this won't upgrade 3rd party extensions, so you will need to install the Joomla 2.5 compatible versions for each one (providing there is one).
To get you started on a Joomla 2.5 component, have a look at the Joomla 2.5 MVC Documentation. This also provides zip files of a HelloWorld component for you to download at various stages.
You might also be interested in a Component Generator.
Hope this helps.
I'm creating website using joomla 3.0. I'm using joomfish component for multi language website. Installation is done but if I'll try to open the joomfish control panel it show the error like
Fatal error: Class '' not found in
/var/www/muvacon/libraries/joomla/database/driver/mysql.php on line

I'm new to joomla please suggest any link to solve this issue. I have already searched many forum I did not get any solution.
JoomFish has not yet been released for Joomla 3.0, therefore you will most likely get errors such as the one you provided. It is only available for Joomla 1.5 and 2.5 at the moment. They have a beta version (2.5) which is available for club members, however I'm not sure if they have done any testing on Joomla 3.0 with it.
Is there a native feature for Multisite in joomla 1.7?
and if not, can you reccomend me a extension for convert Joomla to Multisite?
Thanks!
If you are looking for a Free/OpenSource tool:
Someone wrote something for Google Summer of Code 2009 that adds multisite ability to Joomla 1.6 but it's not finished yet. Here is a link to it's topic.
Later, someone else modified Joomla Multisite extension and made it availave for download. I've tested this component and it works with 1.7 like a charm.
If you have no problem to pay:
Without doubt, JMS is the best tool to make Joomla Multisite. take a look at here.
Note that if you are a developer, check Nooku Framework (Based on Joomla 1.5 CMS). It has Multisite tools out of the box; but unfortunately Nooku is under development and is not stable for production usage.
I have a web application on joomla 1.0.15 with virtumart 1.0.15 and mojoblog beta v0.16 . There are some changes in virtue mart core file and table structure according to my application requirement. I want to upgrade joomla with virtuemart and mojoblog component. Please guide me tell me a proper way to do this. My application a have a lot user information and order records in database. Need your suggestion.
Thanks
You are not going to be able to easily upgrade your site to 1.5. The biggest problem you face is that Mojoblog is not a 1.5 extension and is no longer supported. At a minimum, you will have to find a replacement for that. How you use it will determine which extensions are suitable replacements, but there is almost certainly an extension that will fit your needs. Blog type extensions are plentiful for Joomla 1.5.
In order to migrate from 1.0 to 1.5 you can follow the official Joomla guide - http://docs.joomla.org/Migrating_from_1.0.x_to_1.5_Stable
