Hi,

I've just implemented Artio Joom SEF at www.awaazmagazine.com and although the urls have been re-written for every other page, just looking up www.awaazmagazine.com returns a 404 error.

What can I do so that a person landing on the homepage sees the current issue?

Thank you for taking the time to look at this issue.

Mik.

Hi,

Open the magazine and in general settings make it the home page.

Hi Merav,

thanx for the quick response.

This is the setting I currently have in iJoomla Magazine -> Settings -> General :

"iJoomla Magazine Component is currently set as your homepage"

Is there anywhere else this needs to be set?

Hi cynergise,

Edit your MainMenu and make iJoomla Magazine the first item because the 1st published item in this Menu [mainmenu] is the default `Home page` for the site.

Hi Ricardo,

Thanx for your help.

iJoomla magazine component is the first item, as 'home', in mainmenu.

Looking at the url for the 'home' link in a browser, it shows as http://www.awaazmagazine.com/home/ and that works but http://www.awaazmagazine.com itself does not translate to http://www.awaazmagazine.com/home/ automatically, which I'd think is what JoomSEF should do. Or have I got that wrong?

Thanks again,
Mik.

Hi,

I was having the exact same issue with Artio...and finally fixed and figured out what the issue was....

I had the JOOMLA front page on my main menu and my top menu. In both I had put the iJoomla as the first item. But, I don't even use the main menu. I only use the top menu on my site.

I had moved the iJoomla up to the number 1 postion on both those menus anyhow, and made it my homepage in the iJoomla configuration.

But, still, if I typed in www.gadabout.biz/home then iJoomla came up, and if I typed in www.gadabout.biz/ then the regular JOOMLA frontpage came up...I couldn't figure out why, and then I did...

I had unpublished the regular JOOMLA front-page from my top menu, as I use that menu on my webpage. And, then, on that menu only the iJoomla was published.

But...I hadn't done that on my main menu, as I don't even use the main menu on my website. I didn't know it would matter since I don't use that menu at all anywhere. I only use the top menu. So while the regular front page was unpublished on my top menu (which I use) it was still published to my main menu (which I don't use).

So, I just went in and saw that on the main menu the regular JOOMLA front-page was still published (though it was #3 down the list, and iJoomla was the first item on that list...but both were published on that list).

So, I unpublished it, and voila! No problem anymore.

I hadn't realized that would cause an issue, particularly considering I don't even use the main menu. I only use my top menu. I guess one just has to check all their menus, whether they're using them or not, and 'unpublish' the front-page option, and to move the iJoomla into the first postion...even if they're not using that menu...

Thanks
Michelle

Hi Michelle,

thanx for that.

I'm not sure if that's waht was causing the problem on mine but I'll go in and check my menu settings.

The great support team, Alin in particular, sorted it out for me yesterday.
