Game magazine + Bike Store Virtuemart

Hi I followed this steps: http://www.gavick.com/forums/startup-joomla25/startup-virtuemart-20537.html

to have bike store css added to my website of gk game magazine but on step 4 when I copy and replace the code it doesn't want to load the site.

Please advise if there is more steps or other steps with this template.

I have attached the head.php file

Your head.php didn't attached.
Could You post it again, or post code before change and after change?
Do You get any errors? Could You post them?

Here is the code:

Code: Select all

$this->addCSS($this->URLtemplate() . '/css/gk.stuff.css');

AND HERE IS THE CODE AFTER:

Code: Select all

$this->addCSS($this->URLtemplate() . '/css/gk.stuff.css');
   
   $this->API->addCSS($this->API->URLtemplate() . '/css/vm.css');

I couldn't find any errors

Could You please post an url to your site?

www.pcsafrica.net

You will see thath the site doesn't load but will load with default head.php

Here is my head.php, and it loads vm.css fine:

Code: Select all

Perhaps problem lies somewhere else (does vm.css exist? is patch correct?)

Strange, now that I have copied your code it works perfectly,

Thank you very much

Ok, great I could help

It seems to work fine now, the only problem is when you click on any of the links on the frontpage slider it takes you to the K2 page but doubles the writing http://www.pcsafrica.net/ : example: http://www.pcsafrica.net/index.php/turn-key-solutions.

*The slider at the bottom must be there

Why is it doing that? Is it because of the code I added?

Please advise,

Thank you

It seems like You are missing some of the code, or You have added code that acts strangely:

Code: Select all

<gavern:desktop>...</gavern:desktop>
<gavern:mobile>...</gavern:mobile>


This looks like our conditionals that are used to select which version (mobile or desktop) should be rendered. And because most new browsers renders whatever they come to in the code, it looks like doubled entry.
Checkout modified code for that conditionals.

Its strange because I haven't added or changed any other code except for the code in the head.php that you have provided me:

Code: Select all

<?php



// This is the code which will be placed in the head section



// No direct access.

defined('_JEXEC') or die;



$favicon_image = $this->getParam('favicon_image', '');



if($favicon_image == '') {

   $favicon_image = $this->URLtemplate() . '/images/favicon.ico';

} else {

   $favicon_image = $this->URLbase() . $favicon_image;

}



$this->API->addFavicon($favicon_image);

Yes thanks,

A developer fixed it for me
