SEO Settings Problem

[aikzhobi]

Hi,
If we set "Search Engine Friendly URLs" in "Global Configuration setting" on "Yes" our joomla site not work properly.
it shows like this



is there any solution for this problem ?

i feel just check with alignment of the websites

It looks like your CSS is not loading.

That's likely to happen if you have a relative URL in the link to the CSS file instead of a link that begins with a slash and therefore correctly counts from the root.

If you have the SEF urls of the form example.com/index.php/some-page.html you will almost always get this issue.
The best workaround is to set the live_site variable within the configuration.php file.
live_site = 'http://www.example.com', // without a slash at the end I believe.

Hope that helps.

i agree with DeanMarshall.

this problem is with link give in joomla template design for the css.
open the index page of any joomla templates like beez, and same time open the index page of template which you have problem with it.
compare both templates in the header section for the css links you may find like this

Code: Select all

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $tmpTools->baseurl(); ?>templates/system/css/system.css" type="text/css" />

check it in your template index.php also for the same .
hope it will solve the issue.

in beez template this line is like this

Code: Select all

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template;?>/css/template.css" type="text/css" />

and i am using siteground templates. in my default template this line is like this

Code: Select all

<link rel="stylesheet" href="templates/system/css/system.css" type="text/css" />

now what is do ?
if u say i shall send u both index files.

All you need to do is set the following line inside your configuration.php file:

Code: Select all

var $live_site = 'http://www.your-domain-goes-here.com'; // no forward slash at the end

Add that line - or edit the existing one if it is present but set to empty (no value between quotes).
If I'm understanding your problem correctly - that will solve it.

Thanks sir.
My problem has solved by using this method.
And in Joomla Documents Directory i read an article about SEF. That is also helpful. i am coping some lines from there...

If you encounter problems, try modifying the $live_site setting in configuration.php. If Joomla! is installed in the root (ie, inside public_html or htdocs), set $live_site to / or http://www.example.com or http://example.com. If Joomla! is installed in a subdirectory (ie, /joomladir), set $live_site to /joomladir or http://www.example.com/joomladir or http://example.com/joomladir. See also Why does your site get messed up when you turn on SEF (Search Engine Friendly URLs)?

Thanks and bye...
