Some general joomla configuation questions...

Hi there!

I just installed & configured Joomla to my liking, for
a Boy Scout Troop in my area. I only have two minor
issues with it. You can view it at http://tonyvaughn.info/t356/

1) At the bottom of the index page, this error is there.
The page you are trying to access does not exist.
Please select a page from the main menu.

2) Is there a way to center the text in the header,
like it is on: http://www.joomlausermanual.com/

I tried adding both

Quote:

and

tags to the HTML template, and it didn't work,
and I couldn't find a reference to it in the CSS.

Just as an FYI, I'm using 247shock_blue_104
by Joomlateam.com as a skin.

Also, if you have any tips on how to better the site,
I would greatly appreciate that as well.

Thanks for any help!

What's your home page assigned to?

What do you mean?
I set it so that the first page is the home page.

Can anyone else help me?
I would like to get this up, ASAP.

The message you are getting is from mosMainBody()

It is not possible to see what is wrong when you have SEO turned on.

An easy work around, would be to check through our template for the string it outputs and don't let is show:
if (strpos($GLOBALS['_MOS_OPTION']['buffer'], "The page you are trying to access does not exist.")){
// do nothing
}else{
mosMainBody();
}

Hope that helps

Okay, I think I get what you mean, but I can't figure out how to fix it...
I turned SEO off. What do I do now?

I can't see anything wrong with it, apart from the error...

Something to do with the administration and the link assignment, as mentioned above.

How did you create the link for the home page?

Was it as a Link - url?

If so, what was the url you've used?

It might be that you've mispelled the url... Not sure.

Well, I fixed the error at the bottom of the home page,
by changing it to a static content thing, and linking it.

Thanks for the help.
Can anyone help me with the second problem? $:-\$

Just a quick look at the source code of both websites:

Code:

 
<tr>

  <td width="234" height="100" [b]style="padding-left: 8px;"[/b] class="title" >
           <a href="http://www.joomlausermanual.com" title="Joomla! User Manual.com">Joomla! User Manual.com</a>
   </td>

</tr>

and yours...

Code:

<tr>

<td width="234" height="100" class="title" align="center">
                   <a href="http://tonyvaughn.info/t356" title="Boy Scout Troop 356">Boy Scout Troop 356</a>
</td>

It might help placing the padding-right style, and play around with the number until it is centered.

Otherwise you could try putting the link into a

link
