The Joomla! Forum ™

Hi,

I don't know if it was caused by the recent changes (password change only, I don't think there were any changes with the folder bec. the site is still up) with the FTP account where the site is, but suddenly the top menu was not enabled from Joomla administration page under Module Setting. When I enabled it, the css styling was not working anymore, but the codes arevstill in the css file. I didn't do anything with it.

What's wrong? Please help.

Thank you in advance.

I will message you the site link if you think you know what might be the problem.

I have tried other suggestion that I read in the forum . I am using user3 as menu position, order menu top and legacy flat list.

Can you post a link and explain what's different now with the styling of the menu.

Hi, here is the link

gmtgeochem.com

superfish menu doesn't seem to work either

thanks

Although seemingly unrelated this CSS file is not loading:

http://www.gmtgeochem.com/website/carou ... ghtbox.css

This div has CSS styles:
div id=top_menu

None of these have any styling:
ul id=menulist_root_topmenu
li id=menuitem_1_topmenu
span id=menulink_1_topmenu

Are you sure you published the right menu? are there other menus that are unpublished that might be the correct one?

Have you changed the class suffix from within the menu module?

These might explain why you have no CSS rules for the relevant id's.

Also you have a lot of html errors.

Here is an example:

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/icon.png">

It should be:

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/icon.png" />

You have 31 errors and 19 warnings. If I'm wrong about the menu module then any of these errors could be braking your page/menu.

Check on the questions I asked above and post back.

I have the menu top (mod_mainmenu), but this one is not working either, then superfish menu, and extended menu.

Actually, I did not make this site, and I don't have any contact with the person who did it. There were some changes made with the FTP (by other people), and since then, the site was not working well. I have not changed the class suffix. I've only tried some settings, for instance: with mod_mainmenu, under advanced parameter in module class suffix, it's written "_topmenu",I tried putting this also in menu class suffix, but it did not do anything, so I deleted it and let it as it was before.

I noticed that there were also the extended and superfish menu. I tried changing the settings of these two, bu there were no effect. Here's part of the setting for superfish and extended menu.

I will try to fix all the errors in css, but I have never worked with Joomla before, so I don't really know how the other things inside joomla's admin. work.

About the unrelated topic, I don't know why the lightbox.css was not loading. I copied the path directly from ftp, changed fttp:// to the site's domain and it should work. I have to look again.

Since I am not very familiar with Joomla, could you please post precise details if you can...like where I can find certain options for example..

Thank you very much.

I am getting error, page not found on every file I want to access directly like the lighbox.css....or even the site's template.css

Do you know what might be the reason for this? Even the images are not working..

I right click on the file, copy url to clipboard and then delete FTP username and replace with the domain name.

Your site is missing a base ref.

It should look like this when you view the source of the page.

<base href="http://marionmilitaryacademy.org/" />

In your configuration.php file check your live site variable.

This might take some trial and error but try things like this:

From this:-

var $live_site = '';

To these:

var $live_site = 'http://www.gmtgeochem.com/htdocs';
var $live_site = 'http://www.gmtgeochem.com/htdocs/';
var $live_site = 'http://www.gmtgeochem.com';
var $live_site = 'http://www.gmtgeochem.com/';

Hi,

I have tried all the above, and the last 2 options did not messed up the site, but I still getting 404 page not found.

Thank you

Hi,

I seemed to have set up the base url, but I am still getting 404 errors.

I still have this:

File not found: import file://localhost//css/template.css: Operation not permitted

I don't know why the there are no styling for these:
ul id=menulist_root_topmenu
li id=menuitem_1_topmenu
span id=menulink_1_topmenu

I managed to add styling to menulist_root_topmenu, but now I would like to have the links in a drop down menu. I saw that the person who made the site created a superfish menu, but when I enabled it, it doesn't have any effect.

thanks.

Okay, in the first page, I'd like to have a drop down list of menu. I already like how they are when I open for instance the about me page, and then the field managers page. That's how I want the links to appear, but I want a separate menu styling on the front page.

thank you..

Try installing this extension:

http://www.rockettheme.com/extensions-d ... roknavmenu

It has its own styling and should work out of the box. Styling this will be far easier than trying to create one from scratch.

If you only want it to appear on the home page, use the menu assignment options in the module.

Hi,

I tried installing it, but I get an error which I don't really know (I'm sorry, I'm really new to Joomla)

JFTP::login: Unable to login
JFTP::store: Unable to use passive mode
Warning! Failed to move file.


Thank you.

Okay, I got what was the problem. Thank you..

Hi,

Thank you very much for your help. The roknavmenu did solve the top bar menu not having the css styles.

However, I have disabled extended menu, superfish and the main menu to be able for this to work.

I would like to add another set of menu that would show on the left side of every pages except in "home" page. I have tried activating one of those menus listed above, but they would just break the styles of roknavmenu that I put in place. Could it be somewhere in the menus styles and options that's making the error?

Thank you once again.
