yes I changed everything back after the changes only to keep the original code after the many tries.

so if i make this change it will only effect the blog link and not the entire site correct?

sorry but this framework is totally new to me. we worked with prestashop before and didn't have these issues

arma7x · 03-30-2016, 01:47 PM

Yes. But if you are using url_helper in <li><?php echo anchor('bla','Bla')?></li> replace 'bla' with valid URL to your blog link http://blog.designtrades.org/ because if you put 'bla' the output will be SITE_URL/bla

Keep calm.

I have tried replacing with http://blog.designtrades.org/ but still get the same error
this is very confusing

arma7x · 03-30-2016, 02:13 PM

the changes is make in http://designtrades.org/ or http://blog. .designtrades.org/. Or probally your website is cached using $this->output->cache(n);

Keep calm.

:-)

I think you are changing the wrong link, or everyone here has misunderstood.

Am I right in saying that the link you are trying to change is the link on http://designtrades.org/ in the header bar? Is that right or are you working on a local version?

If you are, that site link has not been changed. Whatever you are changing, it is not the link on that page.

I contacted the theme developer and was told to change the header.php file in the application/templates/views

Yes PaulD you are correct I am changing the header link on designtrades.org

samdrp · 03-31-2016, 07:02 AM

sorry it was actually application/views/templates/site

PaulD · 03-31-2016, 09:15 AM

'these issues' are not caused by the framework, which actually makes writing urls very easy, but in the lack of information being provided.

Can you post the part of the template code that is actually writing the blog link so we can see if it is hardcoded or a site_url or an echo anchor etc.

Your site header link still has not altered in any way since your first post so perhaps you are not changing the correct file.

From the look of the code on that page you are cobbling together lots of disperate systems and, quite frankly, it does not look like it is being done very cleverly or slickly. (Inline css all over the place, inline js all over the place, etc etc)

Good luck fixing it

Paul.

Hi Paul

Here is the code for the header.php
Maybe you are right that this developer did not work very clever but at this point just have to work through it.

So nothing complicated, it is a simple hard coded line. Your problem is that the hard coded 'blogs' in the href does not mean anything.

This was pointed out some time ago and I have not seen the change happen on the site yet.

Change

Code:
<li class="gnb"><a class="mn-stores" href="blogs"><?php echo "Blogs";?></a></li>

To

Code:
<li class="gnb"><a class="mn-stores" href="http://blog.designtrades.org/">Blogs</a></li>

When you have made that change, it should work.

Paul.

PS This is a very basic HTML link issue, nothing to do with CI at all BTW.

PPS I was not criticizing the original developer, who knows what the situation was back then, or the project, or the remit, or why they did what they did or inherited. It could well be for good reason.
