In the beginnning, when I just had installed the Site Shaper it was no issues. As I have started customizing the page strange things seems to happend.

- When opening the site images (especially in Image News) doesnt alway show. I hit refresh and they load all fine.

- On some links (like for example linking to a News Category) it seems like the CSS doesnt load. That just what I think though, what actually happens is that all content loads, but with white background and clear text without images. It also sometimes seems like linking in a page that is not mainpage sometimes confuses the urls, so that it linkes to weird links that cant load.

My site is http://www.colorspace.no You need to sign in with "gjest" and "gjest" (pass).
Hope for some help Smiley Thanks a lot.

I also often get the error message "404 - Component not found"
Such as when I press a link to an article from Image News (also when pictures are working).

Is there something I have managed to screw up? I have installed an extra Component from PortfolioDesigns, but else from this everything is original from Emma Smooth Site Shaper.

Hello, I loaded your site here with no issues. If they sometimes do not load it would be either a local cache issue or a performance issue on your server and you would need to contact them to have that resolved. As for 404 errors, most servers generally keep an error log that would help you define what the error is, your host should be able to provide that for you.

Hello,

I havent managed to resolve those issues. What exactly should I tell my host, because they can not seem to help me.

Also, if you try to login again- and press the "Tutorial" button in menu and then on the "Apple Color" category you get a strange looking site- any idea what makes it that way? The direct link is anyway:  http://colorspace.rabbefilm.com/index.php/tutorials/55-apple-color.html

Thanks.

I checked the page source, and I think I might have found the problem. For the front page, the css urls are:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://colorspace.rabbefilm.com//templates/system/css/system.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://colorspace.rabbefilm.com//templates/system/css/general.css" type="text/css" />

For the page not working (http://colorspace.rabbefilm.com/index.php/tutorials/55-apple-color.html) the css urls are:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://colorspace.rabbefilm.com/tutorials//templates/system/css/system.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://colorspace.rabbefilm.com/tutorials//templates/system/css/general.css" type="text/css" />

- So it is probably not finding the right css-files, is that the problem? I guess I could copy the css files into this folder, but it wouldnt really solve the issus in the long run?

Thanks for helping me out.

Hello, you can try editing the template's index.php file and search for:

<?php echo $LiveSiteUrl;?>

and replace all cases of it with:

http://colorspace.rabbefilm.com

To ensure it pulls the correct urls.

Hello,
I tried to replace it as you said. I now get into the section "Apple Color" under the tutorial section, but when I press one of the articles in it, the link doesnt work. Also, when I am in the tutorial section the other links, such as "home" or "portfolio" doesnt work.

Hello, if that is producing a 404 error then that is an issue with your site's SEF, the template doesn't control SEF urls in anyway. I would suggest looking on the forum boards of joomla.org to see if there are any other similar problems posted.
