which cms

Ah so you're not using the pre-inputted content that Joomla supply's then?

Yeh stick you articles in a section and catagory. Make sure they are set to publish. Is the rest of the Main Menu showing up? if not you'll have to go to your moduls and make sure that is set to publish and is in a user position.


With your image files is the extension .jpg or .JPG. If the latter go to global configuration / System and under media settings add .JPG to legal extensions.

Surely you can change the background colour in your CSS file?
 
thanks,

seperate question, whilst installing joomla one of my options was red, please see below:-

will that make a difference to the functionality of Joomla?

please clarify

thanks

what does this mean:-

Warning: Parameter 1 to modMainMenuHelper::buildXML() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\xampp\htdocs\joomla15\libraries\joomla\cache\handler\callback.php on line 99


it appears under my main menu where the nav menu titles should be....


also take a look at a screenshot from my articlemanager:-

- does that look right? I thought I could change font size and colour etc here?

my menu manager do you see those errors - what could they mean??


example of what my menu displays despite having 2 articles setup one of which is homepage I thought everytime you added a new article you would automatically see a nav link appear under the main menu?


I am beginning to wonder if this has been installed correctly??

easiest to use is Wordpress imho, i've just moved to Joomla and it has a lot more to offer but not really to someone who isn't used to it.
Click to expand...

This :)
although i've just read the thread after i've posted this and seen that you've chosen Joomla. Please excuse my post :)
 
which part looks corrupt? please elaborate?

Do I have to install WAMP? because currently I am just using XAMPP and switching it on everytime I login to the Joomla site which is being hosted locally...

i suggest you
For website -Joomla (its much powerful than wordpress)
For blogs - Wordpress (easy to use and large amount of plugins and resources than any other CMS).I am also using Wordpress.:)
 
Not that keen on WP as cms. It's OK for a 20 page site - the editor is a bit crap though - it's always stripping code out. For serious cms you need looking to Joomla (as you are), modx, cmsms, and silverstripe.
 
Wordpress I'd say! Back in my clan'ing days I used phpnuke but its still way back in the web 1.0 days.. and looks horrid now IMO.
 
thanks guys I went with Joomla and am close to completing my mini project BUT....

I need to make the header fluid so it stretches across any width of browser (or most)

here is the css code:-

div#logo {
position: absolute;
width: 298px;
height: 74px;
background: url(../images/headerlogo2.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-top: 10px;
}

I cannot work out what I am doing wrong

Here is how it looks at the moment which is wrong.....
