PLEASE HELP!
I have no idea what is going on. Everything was working fine and suddenly I am having HUGE problems. It started when I was trying to reposition the logo with CSS. I repositioned it and it looked good, everything was fine.
Now, the slideshow nd module beside it are cut off on the home pages and the rest of the pages are suddenly not displaying in template format, they are just plain white background and totally screwed up. I have spent weeks on this and now it looks like I am going to have to restart the whole thing.
Please let me know what to do!imsleepy Friend

February 17, 2009 at 6:42 pm #292151Do you make backups of your file before you make modifications? If so, since the last thing you did was a css modification, use a backup. You may have to go all the way back to the original css file that came with the template. Just unzip again and call it copy.
Do you have a live url to look at… with any luck might be an easy fix.
February 17, 2009 at 7:19 pm #292162I have only made one change since the original. I just deleted the css file I did the change to and uploaded the original. The spacing issue on the homepage went back to the original issue but nothing else was fixed.
My other pages still look horrendous.cjmicro Friend

February 17, 2009 at 7:49 pm #292173Can you show a url to the site so we can see? That is always helpful,
CherylFebruary 17, 2009 at 8:06 pm #292181Yes, sorry. I put it in the “only visible to moderators box”
You can see that the homepage is ok, the logo positioning is off again but that’s the only issue. When you click any of the links in the top menu or bottom menu it goes to a very basic and hideous html only version of the page instead of the template layout. It’s almost as though those pages just decided to completely throw PHP out the window.

February 17, 2009 at 8:15 pm #292188eeek!! it seems like the secondary pages are not finding the css.. not sure what happened there. can you switch to a different template, temporarily, to see if another template works? This way you could narrow it down to the template or some other problem. (this is what i would do, not saying it will fix it, just help narrow down the issue).

February 17, 2009 at 8:19 pm #292190Hey i remember this happening with my sites if I turn on the “search engine friendly urls” in the site config. Is that something you recently did? Just another thought.

This is very true. If you did turn on the SEF function you may need to change htaccess to .htaccess (there is a dot in front of that… hard to see) if you are on Apache.
February 17, 2009 at 8:25 pm #292193No I didn’t do that. I did change the positioning of the logo with CSS and it was working fine for a couple days, then this happened. It seems to have happened after I tried to embed a video but I have since taken out that tag as well as anything else I changed. That didn’t work so I deleted all the html, php, css, and java files and replaced them with the originals. That fixed the spacing issue on the homepage but took it back to the original issue I was having before I went into the CSS to change the logo spacing.
This template has been up and functioning fine for weeks, I just can’t imagine why it decided to do this to me now. Probably because I had just done enough to get a progress payment and some malevolent forces have decided to align against me in their plot to endlessly screw me over and make sure I never get paid.imsleepy

February 17, 2009 at 8:32 pm #292194The problem is that EVERY link on your site when you change from the main page has added index.php into the link.
Here are a few examples:
<blockquote><link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://www.cfsconline.com/index.php/templates/system/css/system.css” type=”text/css” />
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://www.cfsconline.com/index.php/templates/system/css/general.css” type=”text/css” />
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://www.cfsconline.com/index.php/templates/ja_olivine/css/template.css” type=”text/css” />
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://www.cfsconline.com/index.php/templates/ja_olivine/css/typo.css” type=”text/css” /></blockquote>Check your config file and make sure your path is correct.
February 17, 2009 at 8:37 pm #292196Ok, I have no idea why that is a problem but I will take your word for it lol.
I don’t even know what the config file is, much less how to find it, open it, locate the path, and change it. I also don’t know what it should be.
How would I go about doing that?bennitos Friend

February 17, 2009 at 8:58 pm #292206You do have search friendy url’s enabled. (you can see this on all url’s)
Turn it off and it should be fixed.
If you want to keep it enabled then you most likely need to change this:

February 17, 2009 at 9:00 pm #292207If you want to enable/disable the search friendy url’s then you can do that here:
go to site and then global configuration.
Then go to the site tab.
On your right under SEO Settings you will see the search friendy url’s

I completely missed simply looking at the address bar! Too tired I guess.
