Article not following site's layout (Joomla) - joomla

please go to www.espacioasir.com first and notice how the second article has been 'crushed' to the left - half of the article's normal width.
Anyway, I don't think I can explain much more, my question is very clear: Why is this happening? I do want mention that the content of the article itself has nothing to do (or maybe just a bit), as I tried changing it, and the text did expand to the article's normal width; however, the bar on top (with the article's title "Espacio Asir" and the PDF, print & mail icons was still only at half-width).
I also tried changing the site back to Joomla's default theme, but this did not help. I guess it could be a Joomla 1.5 bug, but I really don't think such obvious error would be present in this version.
I'd really appreciate any help in advance, and if I did not explain myself clear enough, please let me know and I'll add the info needed and post some screens.

It's a feature, not a bug. If you add a third article, the third one will be on the second row, to the right of the second article, also "crushed". -- Or "1/2 column" rather than full column width.
Information on overriding the default layout. For more help, ask in the Joomla forums.

This how Joomla shows a blog layout. Its working properly.
http://www.joomla4web.com/blog/Front-Page-Blog-Layout.html
If you want to change the layout type, you need to go to the Main Menu, and edit the Home menu item. You will see that its set to blog layout. You can click on the change type button to choose a different one.

JOOMLA Read Private Message in URL Bug

I am building a new website in Joomla 3 and here is some really weird behavior i just stumbled over…
I get a wrong URL in Menu Items and read more links, saying, e.g
website.de/weOffer/drinks/Read%20Private%20Message/beer.
I would give you a real URL, but the project is still under development and classified.
The /Read%20Private%20Message/ part in the URL obviously does not belong there and gets inserted by joomla by default. The result of course is fatal. Not only the menu items aren't working, the read more links aren't either, all leading to 404 errors !
To go into more detail, here is what i have set up and what i have found out so far.
I have made a category blog, where articles are listed, each with a read more link in it, which works as expected.
Now each full text article should have its own slideshow and a couple of other modules, like a facts box in it.
Thats why, the article itself must show up as a menu item as well, so in the module manager i can select, that a specific slideshow module is used in this specific article only.
Therefore i have created menu items with the type of single article that links to the defined Article.
The main menu represents the page tree, each category blog has links to single articles as children. Some cat blog have cat blogs as children and then articles.
This setup works as expected, as long as i don't set the article menu item as a child of the category blog of the category the article itself belongs to.
Example:
MENU =
we offer(catblog) -> drinks(catblog) -> beer(singlearticle)
ARTICLEMANAGER
beer(category: drinks)
RESULT: wrong URL as above.
I can fix the error, by using rebuild in the menu manager, but thats only half way done. The menu URL is getting fixed, but than i have to go into the article itself, remove the read more and insert it back again, because the read private message doesnt get removed, even when i clear my cache. When i am done re-saving the readmore link, everything works like normal, until i save the article menu item the next time. Read Private Message bug is back again, up for another round.
I am a SuperUser, so i suspect i have all rights possible in joomla...
This must have something to do with Search engine friendly URLS (SEF), since it only occurs when i have SEF and mod rewrite turned on. I am using the default .htaccess file without any changes.
Here are some people with a similar problem, but no satisfying solution is given:
http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=802045
http://www.jevents.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=19620
I have read about migration and update errors, leading to the same problem.
I migrated manually (sql backup, change of some path in config file) from local apache to 1&1 apache server, both running PHP 5.4, so i doubt that this is a migration issue Plus the problem also appears when i create new articles and menu items (under the parent category).
Changing aliases in both menu items and article itself does not have any effect.
I really hope somebody could give me a hint, or maybe even just confirm that this is a bug If this is designed behavior than whats the reason for it ?.
I am quite frustrated about it and i don't have that many options left since:
1. SEF is a MUST (to my client)
2. Changing the menu tree structure, so that the linked items are no longer children of their cat block parent destroys my breadcrumbs.
3. rebuild and change every menu item and article manually 2 to 3 times is time consuming, error prone, annoying and i don#t want to sell a product to a client like this, since they want to maintain it for themselves as far as posiible.
Your help is really appreciated !

different post-thumbnail in wordpress

The scenario:
I'm on the Startpage of my Blog, and there is an Article with its post-thumbnail. When I click on the Header or the "…read more-link I get to the post.
My question:
Is it possible to set the image bigger when you're on the single-post-page? Furthermore I would like to understand how to set this post-thumbnail-difference up.
I hope you've understood my bad english :) I'm looking forward in receiving help from you guys.
Best regards
Morten
Update:
Here two Screenshots of the Scenario:
Startpage > http://s1.directupload.net/images/130517/ltxuxyj6.png
Singlepost > http://s1.directupload.net/images/130517/lap5re2j.png
The images belongs to me (© Morten Sassi)
I think it depends on the theme you're using : on mine, thumbnail isn't used for the startpage but it use the "featured image", and once on the page of the article I just add the image directly in the body of the article with the size I want.
Maybe you can have a look to your template code and either edit it (but if you're using a theme you didn't create and you update it later your modifications will be deleted) or create a child theme (better solution) to edit only the files you want.
Hope this will help ^^
The best & easy tricky way is uplod your image from media, copy the path and paste this on your post or page editor from backend..and you will get what you want.
Thanks

Magento move search result

For some reason when somebody performs a search on my site the search results do not display underneath the search box, they appear on the far left of the screen.
Any ideas of what file this would be configured in?
Let me correct myself it's not the search results but the search suggestions
I can't offer a direct solution to your problem, but turning on template hints might point you in the right direction. In the Admin, go to System > Configuration, Select your store view from the scope drop down at the top left. Unless you're running multi-store, or have changed the name of the default store it'll be called "Default Store View". Then scroll down to "Developer" and open up the "Debug" section. Turn on both Template Path Hints" and "Add Block Names to Hints". This will add a div with a red border around each template in your layout and a heading which includes the name of the template. It will liklely completely screw up your page layout, but will show you which template generated every tag on the page and help you track down the issue.
The DeveloperToolbar extension makes turning this on/off quickly much easier, but I wouldn't recommend deploying it to a production site.
Alan Storm's indispensable CommerceBug is another tool which is very handly for tracking down front end issues. CommerdeBug can show you the layout handles and the aggregate layout XML used to generate the current page. Both of which are useful for determing why a specific block was (or wasn't) included.
So in case anybody else runs into this or wants to move where their search suggestions display it is in styles.css under .searchautocomplete.

CEWP to show images (HTML) works until I use grouping. Then I see the DIV tag

I'm fairly new to Share Point so forgive me if this is to easy for you guys, but I could not seem to find the answer anywhere and I am rather stumped.
I am currently trying to make a website to track if particular tasks go over their due date. I have a calculated column that leaves a DIV tag to the image of a red/yellow/green circle which is displayed by the javascript for a Content Editor Web Part (CEWP) made by Christophe on his site here:
http://blog.pathtosharepoint.com/2008/09/01/using-calculated-columns-to-write-html/
I was able to put his code into the CEWP and everything looks great when it is in a standard list.
But I want a web part version of this on the homepage for easy view. When I make the web part (of a view grouping by the image tag) and place on the main site all I see is the DIV tag! I made sure to put an identical CEWP on the homepage as well but i get as grouping:
+[columnName] : DIV>img title=blahblahblah>/DIV> (2)
Needles to say when I expand this it stays the same for all entries below
Any Ideas?
Thanks for your time :D
Nobody has responded, but I found the answer so hopefully this will save someone the hours of grief I had. This will seem ridiculous but just go with it.
In the calculated column instead of returning the type as text, return it as a currency. Sounds ridiculous BUT IT WORKS!!

Which file should I edit to change the breadcrumbs starting point?

I wanted to change the breadcrumbs starting point from Home to My title. I edited the file /magento/app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Breadcrumbs.php but it doesn't seem to be working. Is XML playing a role in that?
thanks
Your best option is to use Magento's translate feature. Notice how the text in Breadcrumbs.php is wrapped with ->__('text') which instructs Magento to see if there is a translation for text for the current module. If you turn on Translate Inline in System>Config>Admin>Developer, you will be able to edit the text on the page (after refreshing, click the red box then the little book icon). This will then be entered into the database in the core_translate table and replaced in future page renders.
As a general rule, you should never edit files in app/code/code as you will break future upgrades and patches.
