joomla users please help

Im running joomla 1.0.11 and opensef. I tried making a module for links to directories so when I submit my site I can put their link into the module and it will show on my site. However every directory I submit to says it cannot fine their link at my site. So I tried putting it directly into the "index.php" file. Still no luck. I've tried every URL I can think of and nothing has fixed it. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony

 

Since you are using mod_rewrite/.htaccess. Your URL has been rewritten to:

http://improvedgasmileage.info/home/

instead of

http://improvedgasmileage.info

I would also suggest dropping OpenSef and use Joomsef. It's way better.

 

i tried that URL... still didn't work.

 

You are publishing a module with the recopricoal link right? Make sure you are showing the module on the frontpage.

 

still a no-go. I also tried hard coding it into the index.php and it won't work. I gotta be doing something really wrong.

EDIT: I know its not the SEF, it doesn't work with it off either.

 

Hello,

Why not use this extension?
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,825/Itemid,35/

Seems to be working okay for some people

 

still not working... i have no idea what else to try.

 

Post the URL and I'd be happy to take a look at it.

 

http://www.improvedgasmileage.info is where the problem. I have also tried re-installing Joomla.

 

Go to Joomla, and search for Linx component. That enables you to run reciprocal links.

 

I tried Linx. It worked for the first link then none after that. Would it make a difference that the domain is an add-on domain? Im going to try today to make a full static page thats not dynamic at all. If it works then I will do it that way. At least then I will be able to submit to a lot more directories.

 

yes get extension that supports SEF link or skip that particular extention directory dont rewrite URLS under it.

 

There might be a difverence with using www and not using www.

 

uh oh... did someone day mam bo?

 

u mean some 1 used mambo sef? yes i used and works better then joomla.

 

I tried turning everything SEF off in joomla. That didn't fix it. I tried not using the www. That didn't work either. I have fixed it, or well found a work around. I made a static html page and used the joomla wrapper to get it to display in joomla. Its not the most time friendly solution but it works so I'll just use that for now till I figure out a better solution.

Thanks for all the help tho.

 

pm me what u whant excatly with logins i will try once.
