Re: hot fashion template installation problem

Now another problem: installing SEF URL component (sh404SEF) made all menus positioning fail. Searched around for a day, used different sh404sef somponent instalations/configurations manuals... Maybe you guys can give me any hint...

thanks in advance

My hint for you is to use Joomla core SEF. This site uses it too, and our Google positions won't be any better with sh404SEF for sure. Core Joomla SEF is clean, fast, perfect!

However, I don't know how SEF component can break menu positioning?! Please give us your link.

And it worked. Nicely generating URLs with no impact on other functionalities.

Next I've tried to get rid of home menu item in main menu and instead assign it to the top menu HOME. I made top menu item Home to be front page com and default, and assigned rotate module to that menu item, and deleted main menu HOME item. Everything is fine except of rendering of the buttons on the bottom of front page. Please take a look at the attached image.



I'm not giving the website link as it's on localhost...

I'm trying to learn php while creating this website Is it css rendering problem? Intuitively I think that css were picked up wrongly for this part of the page... Am I wrong?
How to repare that? Everywhere else buttons module is displayed correctly.

Inspect the source and locate wrong css file paths. Then make changes in code where path is formed. You can check paths using browser , usually it should display whole css file content. But when you finish playing with PHP you will realize that you were doing wrong thing. Probably you need to define some rule (maybe in htaaccess file) that sef should interferer with paths to css files and maybe again some php will be needed after all.

I can easyly inspect generated html through the browser, but having difficulties to understand what is the php source. Is it templates->hotfashionstore->html->com_content->frontpage->default.php or default_item.php ? (the error occurs on my frontpage)

It could be in both of them. default_item.php is for items placed in default.php.
But are you sure there is an error? Maybe you changed something in some other file ?
