FOOTER MENU

Hello there, I have get the ICKI sports template (joomla 1.5). I can see the website in the localhost but I cannot see the footer menu, the homepage button etc. Why is that? have i missed something in the uploading? I am not very experienced with joomla.

I installed everything in the Step by Step Installation except the GK Image Show module and the GK Tabs module because i didnt find them in the download page...

Many thanks in advance for your answers!

Did you publish menu module ( footer menu ) in footer position ?

i started everything again, i copied the quickstart folder in the empty folder i created in the database but when im starting the installation im getting the following message at the top of the page

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:xampphtdocssportfmlibrariespattemplatepatTemplate.php on line 1424

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:xampphtdocssportfmlibrariespattemplatepatErrorManager.php on line 202

Can you please help? I am trying 3 days now to install the template but I always find a problem...

If this is in localhost using wamp or xamp or similar its because of php version 5.3.0, you can use php version 5.2.9 or disable error reporting in php.ini (display_errors = Off)

i went to the xampp php folder, i opened the php.ini and i changed the display errors = off;

I also made that change Development Value: E_ALL | E_STRICT >>> error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_STRICT

I restarted tha apache in xampp cp but I am still getting lodas of errors in the localhost page...

In php.ini file there can be more then one display errors = off; so try to edit the last one...

What is your error reporting set to in joomla admin global configuration ?

If you are using default quickstart its joomla version is 1.5.12 where current one is 1.5.23 so what you can do is download and extract joomla 1.5.23

Backup your files if you need to before copying any files.

Select all files except following folders and files
Installation folder dont copy
Templates folder dont copy
Configuration.php dont copy

Otherwise copy and overwrite all other folders and files to update your test installation.

ok many thanks i fixed everything and its working fine. just one more small problem that i got today. I can edit the demo contect news and i can see them in the main page but when i click on them im getting an error page. can u please advice?

Are you using any SEF component , it could be links have changed and its not pointing to correct url.

Goto SEF component and purge urls and let the component create them again in time...

If you are not using SEF component give more information on the error you are getting.

i found it i had unpublish the section. Many thanks for ur quick responses!!!

No problem at all , see ya around...

hi again, when i publish a new article i upload inside it a pic but then i cant see it as a thumbnail in the home page. The article changes and everything works, I can see the pic when i click in the article but i cant see it in the main page. What i am missing there? many thanks

Firstly it would be better if you can post a link to your website so we can see/help/suggest better but anyway read below as it could be many causes why you cant see thumbnails.

Ok if you cant see thumbnails for newly created articles then i believe it is imagemagic or gd or whatever it is using in your server to convert images is not functioning or where the thumbnails supposed to be written does not have write permission therefore cant write to the folder for new files ( thumbnails )

Firstly find another article from frontpage where there is a thumbnail.
View the image ( in Firefox right click > view image ) and check where the thumbnail is in your joomla installation as in which folder it is in.

Using The World News 2 as an example from following link.

Code: Select all

http://demo.gavick.com/joomla16/jul2011/


Article Title: Wimbledon 2011: Novak Djokovic's win
Thumbnail Location:

Code: Select all

/modules/mod_news_pro_gk4/cache/k2.items.cache.4965657af186b9092c7a96976ffe881c_Lnsp_154.jpg


Article Image Location:

Code: Select all

/media/k2/items/cache/71f67488b0857639cee631943a3fc6fa_L.jpg


So cache folder for thumbnails which you see in frontpage is

Code: Select all

/modules/mod_news_pro_gk4/cache/


So make sure this folder is writable...

hi there i just uploaded the website online, the address is sportfm963.gr. As you can see in the top news caegory i can see 2 thumbs from the original template but i cant see any of the news pics i have upload.

Ex: http://sportfm963.gr/index.php?option=c ... mo-content the pic in that article is disappeared from the main page.

many thanks

i tried what u advised me but i cant fix it at all! the only thumbs i can see on the main page r these from the template (i have delete the others) but i cant see any of the new pics...

Just tried to access the website but there is a mysql error which i think you are working on it. If you can write down the name of the article so i can spot the missing thumbnail as when i looked few days ago i could see all thumbnails in frontpage...

the website is online now. Regarding the thumbs i ll give u an example...

here is an article http://www.sportfm963.gr/index.php?opti ... mo-content, i can upload a pic and edit anything but when u go in the main page under the top news box u can see the article without the pic.

The other 2 articles above with the nba players r form the original template, and they look fine.

Also if u scroll down in the main page, in the 'must see it' category i can see the thumbs and everything works fine there...

One more think that may helps is that when im trying to upload a file in the extension manager im getting this error FTP::store: Bad response Warning! Failed to move file.



many thanks for the help and if u need something else plz let me know
