login logout and search

Dear Gavick,

i installed magazine last night but im a foundation level joomla user.

i have put the login module in place and added the url but the front end login and logout doesn't work and im not sure why?

it works ok via the menu item but not via the module.

the same goes for the search box, all i have done is place the module in position but it doesn't seem to work.

could you advise or check?

not sure how i can send you the info without adding to the forum, i provided admin details in support ticket last night but im not VIP so need to use the forum.

many thanks in advance,
lee

I think I have worked out this is a self inflicted issue with a redirect of the index.php to the non index.php in my .htaccess because if i remove this its works fine.

however i would like index.php to remain redirecting to the non index.php, do you know how i could fix this?

my .htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://example.co.uk/ [R=301,L]
Rewritecond %{http_host} ^http://example.co.uk/ [nc]
Rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://example.co.uk/$1 [r=301,nc]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /home\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://example.co.uk/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.co.uk
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

.

i just removed the index.php redirect to fix this. So this is sorted now.

I would prefer for index.php not to exist to aviod any search engine duplication issues but if it means login logout and search works this is ok now.

Hi
