    Hey guys,

    Been working on my site for a little bit thanks to the help of Saguaros but have came across some problems/questions that I can’t seem to figure out.

    Have made a thread as I’m sure it would be better to keep all questions within 1 topic rather then spam the forums up and prevent other users from seeking assistance. If it’s better to open up different threads, please let me know.

    1) I would like to change the top navigation menu/bar (It has world, tech, entertainment etc) I have failed to see where I can change it. Could someone tell me what module, or menu name it’s under?

    2) Refreshing/updating links – I’ve managed to change the name of categories and changed the alias, but the site is still using the old link (which still works) Could someone explain to me how to change the URL/Links?

    3) URL including “index.php” I saw in another thread that someone had this problem, I copied the solution given, replaced the user’s URL with my site, and followed the instructions. Sadly, this hasn’t worked for me. The code I used is
    <blockquote>RewriteEngine On
    # Remove index.php from URL requests
    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^{3,9} /(([^/]+/)*)index.(php|html?) HTTP/
    RewriteRule ^([^/]+/)*index.(html?|php)$ http://www.controversygaming.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    </blockquote>

    Now it works as in, it removes the index.php… but then the secondary pages give me a 404 error. I don’t mind re-making the links (as what I might need to do for the 2nd question above)

    Thanks guys 😀

    Hello sbreame,

    1. They are menu items of Main menu. You can change them in Menu Manager of Main menu. Remember to clean your site cache before refreshing your front-end.

    2. It’s cache again. Please clean your site cache first, then refresh front-end to see the result.

    3. If you don’t experience with .htaccess file. Please don’t try to play with it. Please use .htaccess file of Joomla, then set “Yes” for “Search Engine Friendly URLs” and “Use URL rewriting” in “Global configuration”. It’ll remove “index.php” for you.

    Regards.

    Hi thanks for the reply. Will respond in same manner.

    1) After looking for 30 minutes, I have found where to edit the top navigation menu. The reason why I couldn’t find it is because the menu is named as “magazine” and NOT main menu. Which is quite confusing.

    2) Didn’t work.

    3) As I said in the opening post – This works, but all secondary pages give a 404 error.

    2. Please PM me your site information, then I can try to diagnose your problem.

    3. Home page always works although “index.php” is on URL or not. But htaccess changed all links, that’s why you can navigate to 2nd pages.

    Regards.

    Still working on site. I’ve managed to change the top main menu absolutely fine 😀 but still got the link problem. For example…

    I have re-named one of the menu names to “games” and one of the links within the menu to “gaming-news”

    http://www.controversygaming.com/games/gaming-news does NOT work. Gives 404 error.

    http://www.controversygaming.com/index.php/games/gaming-news Works fine. It’s that index.php part.

    Quick update Stork – I have labeled all my categories, sub-categories and have done the top navigation. Some links are weird, even when copying the same “pattern” as correct links. (Some of the top menu links, are linked to the wrong category, even though it’s set correctly in options, and some links have the ID number too) Secondary pages are still not working without /index.php/ in the URL. I am on all day tomorrow so can try whatever suggested.

    I’ll post some screens in the morning. of the bad links.

    Ok got another issue/question. I’m trying to put an advert in the 300×250 box on the right hand side (under “Hot Video”) I got the advert link in full which is <blockquote><iframe src=”http://rcm-uk.amazon.co.uk/e/cm?t=controve-21&o=2&p=12&l=ur1&category=pcvideogames&banner=1KT30D31W9VYN8C9NY82&f=ifr” width=”300″ height=”250″ scrolling=”no” border=”0″ marginwidth=”0″ style=”border:none;” frameborder=”0″></iframe>
    </blockquote>

    But it is showing all the text rather then the actual image. Any suggestions?

    Quick update before I go bed.

    + All links have been fixed and working absolutely fine.
    – There’s areas on the site that I can’t figure out where to go, to edit them. Will write a list tomorrow.

    Will be working tomorrow on replacing all the articles too, so won’t be touching the banner advert parts, but will still read any suggestions/reply. I really want/need the site operational/launch worthy by sunday night so am working hard on it.

    I have added this script into “Hot Video” module on your site, see the screenshot

    But you need to read user guide about JA Teline IV here, maybe it helps you understand more

    1. HotVideo
