    How do I save changes with Firebug?

    Posted 17 years 1 week ago
    • I have a strange problem with titles on two pages showing up twice in the Title Bar or Tabs.

      Front Page Blog > 'Home' shows 'Home'
      <title>Home</title>

      Wrapper > 'Forum' shows 'Forum'
      <title>Forum</title>

      But

      Category Blog Layout 'About us' shows 'About us - About us'
      <title>About us - About us</title>

      Category Blog Layout 'Contact us' shows 'Contact us - Contact us'
      <title>Contact us - Contact us</title>

      At first I thought it was a problem with showing Menu titles or Article titles but that's not the case.

      Anyway, using Firebug, I figured out it's a problem with the title in the Head of the HTML.

      I can find and edit the error but I can't save it.

      Is there a setting in the index.php that needs to be changed to allow changes?

      I've watched James' tutorial and it's exactly what I want to do, and can do all of it except save the changes.

    • You need to download the file and edit with an external editor. Then re-upload - You cannot save changes with Firebug.

    • 1. There's no file to download, from what I can see because the component is loaded within the index page.

      index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=4&Itemid=4


      When looking at the head, the error is clearly visible, but what file contains this?

      <head>
      <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"/>
      <meta content="index, follow" name="robots"/>
      <meta content="mysite" name="keywords"/>
      <meta content="mysite.com, about mysite.com"name="description"/>
      <meta content="Joomla! 1.5 - Open Source Content Management" name="generator"/>
      <title>Contact us - Contact us</title>

      So I wonder what file I would edit....

      2. Watching James' tutorial he edits the site live....?

      3. Seems like this behavior is reproducible with this type of menu item. Hoping to correct the error, I thought I would make new menu items to replace the old ones and the same thing happened.

    • The changes made live are only temporary. Like David said, you'd have to save it into other files. However, Joomla makes it a bit more complicated as multiple files control the page so depending on what you want to do, it can be a tad complex.

    • Thanks for the clarification, James.

      Any idea how to edit that <title>Contact us - Contact us</title>?

      I can see it but can't track back to it....
