Different layout
I have installed template JA_purity II on my new Joomla-2.5-Site and I’m wondering at some layout differences depending on the type of page-calling “sub-domain.domain” or “domain/subdirectory”. (In my case the names of sub-domain and subdirectory are the same). Could you explain please why there are some differences especially on the right column? Have I done something wrong?
My experience with 2.5 is limited!

Hi kbaerthel,
Please provide link to Your website via PM or bitly.com (Your domain name/site will be hide from Google)
I’ll try to look.

Many Thanks for answering.

Sorry, I understand the sense of your proposal (“Please provide link to Your website via PM or bitly.com (Your domain name/site will be hide from Google)”) but I don’t know how to do so.

Let me repeat:
– the issue is about the layout not the traffic
– the template works perfect on Joomla 1.5. Please review test.bärthel.de and bärthel.de/test
– but on Joomla 2.5 the template is showing differences depending on the type of page-calling what I don’t like. Please review test26.bärthel.de and bärthel.de/test26
– test25.bärthel.de is showing another issue in addition. Please ignore for the moment this test-page

Hi,
Try set
<blockquote>public $live_site = ‘ ‘; </blockquote>
in configuration.php file

to
<blockquote>public $live_site = ‘http://test26.bärthel.de/’;</blockquote>
or
<blockquote>public $live_site = ‘http://www.bärthel.de/test26/’;</blockquote>

Thanks for your proposal. I did so, unfortunately the results aren’t correct.

Starting point:
public $live_site = ”;
page-calling via test26.bärthel.de –> fine
page-calling via bärthel.de/test26 –> right column incompletely shown

First I have set:
public $live_site = ‘http://test26.bärthel.de/’;
page-calling via test26.bärthel.de –> fine
page-calling via bärthel.de/test26 –> error 404 not found

Second attempt:
public $live_site = ‘http://www.bärthel.de/test26/’;
page-calling via test26.bärthel.de –> very bad, only content, template seems to be ignored
page-calling via bärthel.de/test26 –> as before, right column incompletely shown

As already said I haven’t any why the layout is depending on the type of page-calling.

Hi kbaerthel,

What Different between subdomain and subfolder

What is a subdomain?

This is our first question. A subdomain is considered a domain that is part of a larger domain. For example, on the large domain “bärthel.de” you could create a subdomain of “test25.bärthel.de” the “sales.” comes listed in front of the domain name. This means that it is a separate entity from other subdomains within the larger URL: the files are kept separately, email addresses are located separately, and so on.

What is a subdirectory?

A subdirectory, in contrast, is an extension of a domain, such as “bärthel.de/test25”. All of the information for this directory and other subdirectories is located in the same place (the server owned by the web hosting provider you chose for hosting your website), and emails come from the same domain as well.

So, what is the difference?

Think of it this way: picture a 3-leafed clover. Subdomains are the cloven leaves that make up the cloverleaf shape: they are each a separate leaf, but are part of the larger whole. For a subdirectory, picture a tree with a single trunk and several branches: the subdirectories are branches that extend from the single main trunk.

In practice, there are several differences between subdomains and subdirectories.

As mentioned, the files and email addresses are stored separately, so from a UK web hosting perspective, make sure that your potential web hosting provider offers this service if you’re considering subdomains. This will allow you to have email addresses from separate subdomains (which make it simpler for clients and customers to keep things straight). It also means that people searching within your website can search within just the subdomain they’re on, so your information is easier to find and access.
SEO is the other major difference. Because subdomains are treated as individual domain names, search engines will rank them independently. This means you can optimize different subdomains for different terms, or you optimize for the same term and potentially have your website represented more than once within the top search results page.
The bottom line: If you need your website to address several different types of customer or perform several major functions from one site, subdomains are a good way to keep that information separate without creating separate websites. If this is something you’re interested in, then before you sign up for web hosting or pay to register your domain name, check the provider to ensure they have the capacity and support to provide this functionality to your new website.

Regards

Sorry for my late response, I was travelling.

Thanks for your explanation about sub-domain and subdirectory.
Unfortunately I can’t see any relevance to the issue I have tried to describe.
I’m using your template as mention in the surrounding of Joomla 1.5 and in the surrounding of Joomla 2.5 too.

Joomla 1.5
My subdomain test.bärthel.de is linked to subdirectory bärthel.de/test
The template JA Purity for Joomla 1.5 was installed.
and independent on the type of page-calling (test.bärthel.de or bärthel.de/test) the layout of the site is the same.
I like that.

Joomla 2.5
My subdomain test26.bärthel.de is linked to subdirectory bärthel.de/test26
The template JA Purity II for Joomla 2.5 was installed.
and dependent on the type of page-calling (test26.bärthel.de or bärthel.de/test26) the layout of the site is different.
I dislike that.

Could you explain that please?
It seems setting $live_site hasn’t solved this issue.

I have checked on J1.5 and J2.5 on your site, i see the same error because you are wrong path css and image file.
Ex: I checked header background image on j1.5 and j2.5 on both links
And you need to change css file
<blockquote>Open templates/ja_purity_ii/css/template.css file</blockquote>

#ja-header .main .main-inner1{
background: url(../images/header-mask.png) no-repeat right top;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
height: 100%;
}

test26.bärthel.de: http://xn--brthel-bua.de/test26/templates/ja_purity_ii/images/header-mask.png
http://xn--brthel-bua.de/test26/: http://xn--brthel-bua.de/templates/ja_purity_ii/images/header-mask.png -> wrong path, if it’s right: http://xn--brthel-bua.de/test26/templates/ja_purity_ii/images/header-mask.png

You can config script above and run with test26.bärthel.de and bärthel.de/test26.
