: Problem with "Home" links
: oncebroken October 20, 2009, 08:07:36 PM
I've somehow messed up the links in the main menu and the top menu for "Home". I tried to correct it by setting it to the standard Frontpage menu item but it appears that there is something I am missing.
The link on the Accordian Menu still works though... Also, the title on the new Frontpage is "Sneek Peek at the New Cars for 2010!" - no idea where that came from. I'm really confused.

Hello, as long as it's set as your default frontpage link it should work. Make sure it's set to public view and it's published.

As an update to the problem, this only becomes a problem when I set the site to SEF urls...
When I turn that off, it seems to work fine. Is this fixable?

Hello, if you can private message me super admin access I can look into this for you.

Thank you. It seems to be working now. Instead of setting up links to the frontpage, I made the top menu an alias to the link from yours. All is well.

So it worked for awhile, but in order to forward our add-on domains, I had to enable the "add suffix to urls" option and now it has the same problem. When I click on the "Home" link, it cannot find the page.

Hello, I am sorry about that, I didn't see your private message. I was able to login and fix this for you.

thanks, works fine now. any advice for how to fix it myself if it happens again?

You shouldn't have it happen again. The code now reads the database's default setting rather than looking at the url of the page.

I have the same problem, could you post a solution for this?

In the s5_no_moo_menu.php file look for:


$s5_check_itemid = strrpos($mitem->link,"frontpage&Itemid=1");
 
       if ($s5_check_itemid > 1) {
          $mitem->link = "";
       }


and change it with:



if ($mitem->home == 1) {

$mitem->link = "";

}

Excellent template! And the timing could not have been better for me.

But i am having the same issue with top_menu home link taking me to a home page that is missing many/all of the modules and is also titled "Sneek Peek at the New Cars for 2010!" The issue was present after I created a main_menu2 to eventually take the place of the current main menu. I have since began to try different SEF settings, as I would prefer to have it active. I get the same result with any SEF settings.

I searched for the code in the s5_no_moo_menu.php file and did not find it, but I was able to find the code:


if ($mitem->home == 1) {

$mitem->link = "";

}

I am assuming that I may have downloaded a newer version that has been updated?

The web site is currently "down for maintenance" requiring user credentials to log in. If you would like to access the site please PM me and I will respond with admin rights credentials for you.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello, yes you can private message me the url to your site.

Hello,

I am having this problem also. The top Home link takes you to some pseudo home page that talks about new cars or something? I checked the php file you referenced, but that change is already made (I'm guessing you updated the file in the download from shape5.com)

Any other ideas? Site is: http://gbc.mallowonline.com

Hello, the home link on the main menu is working with no problems. The home link on the very top menu is different menu item and you have no modules published to that page. You need to edit your modules and publish them to that home link as well.
