Increasing the size of the letters the Top menu is not working properly with IE 6. The text of the Top menu is going down and it begins after the text of main menu. With IE 7 and firefox 2 it is more or less ok. Any idea how to correct this IE 6 bug ?

Could you provide your live site url, Christiaan.

I am sorry, but it is not live until now. We are still in evaluation stage. I will check it in at siteground next week and I will give you a reply.
Kind regards, Christian

Hmmm, the resizing of letters works just fine in IE7, but not too well for me in Firefox 2 or Opera 9. When first browsing to the site (http://www.brackenhurstbaptist.org) clicking the resize option does nothing. You must first browse to one of the links on the main menu before resizing works. Once you have done so, you can resize on any page, including the front page, but you can’t do it from the start. Can you perhaps tell me why? Got exactly the same problem on my own site (http://www.forapattern.co.za).

Also, when registered users login, it doesn’t show as logged in until you browse to one of the links and then back to home page. (By “back to home page” I mean clicking “home” on the main menu: using the “back” button doesn’t fix the problem.)

Fantastic work by JoomlArt designers, by the way! Your templates are very impressive!

Hi schase,
Your live site setting in configuration.php is: http://forapattern.co.za, while you browse http://www.forapattern.co.za. For some reason, the web browser understand they are two sites. Therefore, the user tool does not function fine as well as the login module.

We suggest that you should setting your live site is http://www.forapattern.co.za and use .htaccess to redirect all access from http://forapattern.co.za to http://www.forapattern.co.za.

Here is .htaccess config to redirect from http://forapattern.co.za to http://www.forapattern.co.za


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www1.|$) [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forapattern.co.za [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Thanks for the reply, khanh. I tried entering the code into my .htaccess file, but it didn’t work like you said it should. I assume that you are talking of /public_html/.htaccess, which currently looks like this:

I have put the code you supplied both on top of this text and below it. I even deleted all the text in the file and replaced it with yours, all to no avail. It definitely seems that this is the problem, because if I go directly in my browser to http://forapattern.co.za/ it all works fine. Have I done something wrong in editing the .htaccess file?

You have to turn on the rewrite engine by uncomment the statement:
#RewriteEngine On
And paste the above code at the bottom of your .htaccess file.

Okay, so I am probably going to look like a complete n00b when I ask this, but isn’t it already on? The code I pasted from the .htaccess file reads in part:

# mod_rewrite in use

#RewriteEngine On

# Uncomment following line if your webserver's URL
# is not directly related to physical file paths.
# Update Your Joomla/MamboDirectory (just / for root)

So it already says “#RewriteEngine On” but it still doesn’t work.

All you need in your .htaccess is:


RewriteEngine On
Options +SymlinksIfOwnerMatch

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www1.|$) [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forapattern.co.za [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
