I have 3 articles in the front page manager. However, when I change the order of these articles in the front page manager, it does not change on the actual front page of the site. What am i missing?
You need to set the menu item sort order method. Go in to your front page menu item, click on Parameters (Advanced) then select the primary order method you would like to use. By default it does it by article ID, you need to change it to order.

I have an Umbraco site, where two content pages are at the same level and in the properties tab, the link do document in same (i.e. "/")... I always see only one of the content page is loaded.
Please let me know how to run the other content page (i.e Holden leasing home template) from browser.
Right click each of the home nodes and select "Culture and hostnames". Then you can set which URL(s) each node should respond to.
Like http://localhost:50234/interleasing , http://localhost:50234/mmsg and so forth.
I have site that user can submit an article in frontend . I have create menu submit article, but when i click it , it redirect to homepage.
Thank you
The guidelines are here: Joomla : How to create an article from the front end.
Go through below:
Your menu item should not have access to only special members if you are submitting content as registered member. In short, you should maintain the access level of the page.
There can be some other cases, for which you must need to post the screenshot if any error message shown on the screen to debug. As you know there are many settings, custom code, and tweaks that Joomla CMS allows to implement.
To change the redirection when submitting an article I found it useful to do the following:
Associate the form that enables you to create an article from the frontend to a menu, and then edit the corresponding element of the menu, on the options tab, select the redirection after submission category to where you want it to redirect and that's it. Hope it helps anyone!
I am using the external link type menu items within Joomla - the reason is I need to link direct to an anchor on another page from the menu.
I have around 10-15 links, all work as expected except 2.
in my external URL box I have something like this:
"index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=10&Itemid=207#SystemIntegration"
id - is the article id
Itemid - is the menu item I want to be active
hashtag - is my anchor link
PROBLEM:
On the 2 that are not working it seems to go to url with this "http://www.website.com/component/content/?Itemid=207#SystemIntegration" instead of "http://www.website.com/services/digital-solutions/SystemIntegration#SystemIntegration" as expected
has anyone else had this issue? I have a feeling its connected to the SEF urls being on.
Joomla 3.5.0 version
Step1. Create a Hidden Menu from Joomla admin==>Menus==>Manage==>add
new menu
Step2. Select a Hidden Menu ==> add a new menu item==>Menu Item
Type==>Article==>single article==>your article id==>save
Step3. Site load this url(take copy)
Step4. Create a new menu from external url Pate the previous url
(include #)
Nothing I tried worked reliably - so I got round it by making each item go to the single article, then using a spare field to store the name of anchor. Then within some custom JS code I checked if the field was set and automatically scrolled the page to it if it was - works better than the joomla standard anyway and is more reliable
We are trying to setup a simple BTB site to support our retailers (somewhere they can download product text/images and corporate branding). We are using Joomla 1.5.2 and Virtuemart 1.1.9
We want it to be completely secure (unregistered viewers - and competition - just see simple intro page, and login with option to register). Not any content at all.
And we also also want to use VM registration for registering new users.
I set up the secure access for categories/products using Joomla menu items pointed to virtuemart categories, and set the menu item access to "registered". Worked perfect, user not logged in, don't see anything but splash page. Logged in, all of the product categories were available via the menu items.
But we just realized this messes up user registration. We want to use Virtuemarts user reg so we don't have to gather all of that data (address info, etc.) and come back and enter by hand.
Apparantly, with the virtuemart menu items set to "registered" access, the user gets redirected to joomla's registration page(which doesn't gather the data we need into Virtuemart). I've pasted a valid VM registration url everywhere I could find in the backend login files (com_user and mod_user), but no luck (didn't think that would work, im a beginner).
Anyone know if there is a workaround? Or a better way to do this?
Thank you.
I can you tell with absolute certainty that you'll need to make a minor adjustment in the VM code if you want to do this. The hurdle is that VM uses the same menu Item ID as it's default throughout the script, so even if you create a different menu item for the registration, it's always going to fall back to the first one that you had.
The only way around this is a small hack in the VM function that always forces this to happen. Put the below code at the very beginning of function getShopItemid() located in ps_session.php somewhere around line 459. Leave all the existing code in place, but this needs to run before that does.
/*Hack For multiple VM menu itemids, if there is a page specified, find THAT Itemid */
global $page;
if($_REQUEST['Itemid']) {
$_REQUEST['shopItemid'] = $_REQUEST['Itemid'];
} elseif($page) {
$db_hack = new ps_DB;
$q = "SELECT id FROM #__menu WHERE link='index.php?option=com_virtuemart' AND published=1 AND params like '%page=".$page."%'";
$db_hack->query( $q );
if( $db_hack->next_record() ) {
$_REQUEST['shopItemid'] = $db_hack->f("id");
}
}
Once this is in place, you'll need to have a Joomla menu item that includes at least this:
option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.registration
With that menu item in the database, the above code will find the menu item for that page, and use that one instead of the default VM method. The Joomla security will trigger as you expect because it has the correct menu item.
Joomla requires that home page was linked with some component.
So, if i link menu item of homepage to some article, i get a url like:
"index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=68&Itemid=464" on frontend.
How to link homepage to "/" ?
UPD:
Joomla verion 1.7
Maybe, i not accurately explained.
I link home menu item with some article.
When i go to www.mysite.com - all fine, choosen article is shown on homepage.
But then the home menu item on frontend became "index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=68&Itemid=464", not just '/'
You must use the default Joomla format for setting something as the "home" page. in 2.5 (since you failed to tell us which version you're running) you do this by using 'featured articles'. By default, any featured article is displayed on the homepage.
In older versions (1.5) you must mark it to display on the 'front page'
In doing that when you go to http://www.yoursite.com/ - you will see the articles listed as 'featured' or 'front page' articles. You can adjust how they display by using the front page or featured article manager.
I apologize if I've misunderstood your question - but hope this helps. It also looks like you don't have SEF URL's turned on - you may want to look into that. Regardless your front page will display without any additional URL stuff if you use the methods outlined above.
In your menu manager (backend), create a new entry for 1 article and select it in the list. After that, just define this new menu entry as default (or homepage).
This article will be the default homepage of your website and will be accessible via www.yoursite.com/
