Syndication Feeds in Joomla 1.6 not displaying link to XML - joomla

I have enabled Syndication Feeds then created RSS Feed module to display it in the footer of a web site but I have hit into issue that RSS Feed link is empty.
Site is located here http://holyapostlesnyc.org
Any idea what can be wrong? We are running Joomla 1.6.0
Thanks
PS.
When I have added menu as category list I am able to user raw output to RSS Feed http://holyapostlesnyc.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=8&format=feed&type=rss
Maybe it will help to find out why is not working by default?

As I can see your feed link is dead, something is not working properly. I assume you to use some component for your feed generator
Take a look here http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/content-sharing/rss-syndicate
Also, upgrade your joomla website, the 1.6 version is not supported anymore. 2.5 is the up and running version

Joomla 1.7 - can't find Meta Titles

we moved a site for a client a while back that someone else created. Its running on Joomla 1.7.
We want to do some light SEO work for them but I can't for the life of me find the Meta/SEO title field anywhere.
All the support posts I've looked at say its here or there but for me its not. It seems to be know where! In the meta options section when editing an artcile there is a description and keyword field but no title.
Some help would be appreciated. This client can't justify a new website.
Thanks!
Update:
we ended up upgrading this install to 2.5, still couldn't edit the meta titles anywhere. So I installed a plugin which gave me the title field but it had no effect! Can only assume the theme hasn't been put together properly. The conclusion is that its now quicker for us to just move them to WordPress where stuff works properly! :)
I'm working more with Wordpress than Joomla, but I think that you should download an extension if you want to have a meta-title in the pages. For the home page you can change it from Menu - Main menu - Home.

Magento Seems Incomplete is it?

I downloaded and installed magento on xampp by bitnami. Here is a screenshot of what i can see once i open localhost/magento :
I was watching a video on youtube about magento but he had a bit different view:
So what i wanted to know was, is my install incomplete? because it lacks the main content it just has the side bar content and the top bar. (Note: In the video the guy had also said that all that was pre-made and he did not add any of that himself) What is it? and if it comes automatically how do i add it? re-install?
Yes that guy did not enter all that himself but he uses the sample data provided by magento itself.
Magento has a sample data archive available that contains sample products and CMS pages to allow you to explore your new Magento installation without having to create everything from scratch.
Note: You cannot install that sample data now. You need to re-install with some more steps.
Here is the magento page about all this.

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.

jomsocial connect module in joomla 1.6 w/ jomsocial 2.2.3 seems to be missing

i'm trying to add a facebook connect button to pages other than jomsocial's frontpage and it seems that i should be using the module mod_jomsocialconnect, but it isn't in my ~/modules folder.
anyone know:
if in newer versions of joomla and jomsocial if the module should be there but isn't or if it's been moved/renamed/fused with other code...
how i might go about getting a working "login through facebook" button in my login module (through pre/post text etc.) or basically anywhere else preferably without buying something like JFBConnect
i have spent quite awhile on google and documentation on jomsocial, joomla, and facebook. any help appreciated!
Have you installed it? It would have came with your JomSocial archive. Make sure you unzip modules_unzip_first_2.2.4.zip and you will find mod_jomsocialconnect.zip inside.

To get Virtuemart to produce a custom downloadable PDF/certificate with the buyer's details on it

I am new to joomla and I have a problem:
The challenge is to get Virtuemart to produce a custom downloadable
PDF/certificate with the buyer's details on it.
Virtuemart already have a download after paying ability, but not for
custom created files/pdfs.
Joomla can also already create pdfs from front-end files, so I assume
it is possible to achieve this.
Any suggestions as to how I should go about this will be very much appreciated.
Thank you
I would package this in a custom component, basically you need to:
create a link in Virtuemart that links to the component relating to the order_item
check that order_item is paid
produce the PDF by outputting some page content and putting it through the PDF output of Joomla
I haven't used Joomla's PDF output, it may be just as easy to use FPDF, rosPDF or you could use an existing PDF by installing pdftk (on a VM or dedicated server only)
HTH, Jochen
