Joomla! Discussion Forums

I have recently created a new site using joomla.  I am using siteground.com to host my website and when i am working in the backend of joomla it logs me out after i do almost anything such as going to the modules or working in virtuemart settings?  What can i do to keep this from happening? 
Any suggestions would be great

Hi are you running sh404SEF as well as  virtueMart??

if so when you installed sh404SEF you had to change to without .htaaccess.
To check go to component sh404SEF, advanced settings, 3 item down shows with, without, without.

You need the last without option it has a ? mark (index.php?) highlight this option save and problem should be cured.

I hope.

I only installed virtuemart, its the only component i have installed and the only modules and bots i have installed are for virtuemart as well.  Do you think this problem could have anything to do with the host? I am using siteground.com

Hi
Not sure did you try fix i mentioned? Even if you dont have sh404SEF. I had the same problem withVMart and it worked for me!

If not try their forum. What site are you building? Just interested as i am new to joomla and am building my first VM site at the moment

regards Pete

Could you go into more detail on how to do this fix?  and i have recently redesigned a hospital website and am looking to add a online gift shop.  heres a link if you would like to check it out you will not be able to view any of the virtuemart extensions i do not have them viewable by the public at the moment.

HHHmmmm

In your administrator side of Joomla

Click on SITE then GLOBAL config then SEO have you switched search engine frendly URLs to YES? cause when you select yes I think a message box appears saying switch hta access to without, this could be when using sh404SEF .

have a look see and I will dig deeper

regards Pete

I remember now just been on VM forum to remind myself!

You will need to get into file manager on your control panel at hosting, Do you have access?
You need to change the following.

Make sense?  regards  Pete

HOTFIX for Joomla! 1.0.13
********************************

This package contains a fix for the admin session problem in Joomla! 1.0.13

The file
/administrator/index2.php

in your Joomla! 1.0.13 installation needs to be replaced with the one from this package.

So just overwrite it and you're done.


Change:

BEFORE
########
103 doGzip();
104
105 // if task action is 'save' or 'apply' redo session check
106 if ( $task == 'save' || $task == 'apply' ) {
107 $mainframe->initSessionAdmin( $option, '' );
108 }
#########


AFTER
########
102 // if task action is 'save' or 'apply' redo session check
103 if ( $task == 'save' || $task == 'apply' ) {
104 $mainframe->initSessionAdmin( $option, '' );
105 }
106 doGzip();
