Hi all,
I have a parent site that I duplicated as a child site in a subdomain. The only difference is on the child site, the logo will be removed from the header. The 2 sites will feed off the same database so updates will be synchronized across the board.
[url=http://www.visproducts.com?p=RT]Parent site[/url]
[url=http://catalog.visproducts.com?p=RT]Child site[/url]
In my main menu on the child site, everything is working, except the Default Home button which links back to the parent site. I cannot figure out why that is. In researching it I'm finding a lot of talk about the BaseURL and JURI and it needing to be adjusted, though I don't know if that's the answer and the solutions I found in the Joomla forums are just aren't working.
This is on J1.5.23
The child site Search also does not work and a captcha is not showing up, but I'm wondering if fixing the first problem might fix these as well. Hoping so anyway. Those may be for another post.
Any thoughts? Thanks for your feedback!!! - Last Edit: 13 years 6 months ago by VisPrada.

Can you not change the HOME menu item to an external link and just type in the URL?
i.e
catalog.visproducts.com/ - Kiss my RSS

Hey Thanks Adam,
Yeah, I really don't know. Not really clear on HOW you are suggesting to do that. I just messed around in the Admin and I can't see any way that I could get anything to work out.
I've looked and looked and looked thru files and code and forums for this type of approach and the few recommendations I've found aren't doing anything for me.
Somewhere in the system it's forcing that Default HOME to an absolute URL pointing it back to the Parent site, but I can't find where that is taking place.
When I'm in the Child Site Admin, everytime I Apply or Save something it takes me over to the Parent site Admin as well. I have to hit the back button, then refresh to get it to work.

If you are using the logo-feature of gantry you can edit that link in the logo.php in the features folder of the template. If you don't want do that just use a custom html module with your logo instead ...
(edit I guess I didnt read this right ... Adamck's advice makes sense I guess)

Thank Henning.
The logo is not what we're talking about here.
On the Main Menu. The Home button. In the Admin, the Home button is tagged as Default. The URL of that Main Menu Default Home button on the Child site points back to the Parent site. All the other buttons on the Child site Main Menu navigation stay on the Child site. I want the Child site Main Menu Home button to stay on the Child site as well. But it won't.

Hi!
How did you solve this situation? I am facing something like it, because I have included Intro page which needs to appear only once when viewer first comes in. After the intro is loaded, the page itself is displayed.
The problem is when the visitor clicks on Home, it goes back to the animation and I want it to go to "http://mydomain/index.php".
I also took a look at ReReplacer but I don't think that this the solution for this kind of circumstance.
Any help?
Regrads.

.... another idea would be to use Nonumbers ReReplacer to overwrite the link
