Joomla Templates

Hi , has anybody had trouble assigning templates? I am using Transbear as my default home page , and BlackBear pro is assigned to all other pages. I have checked and double checked my "menu assignment" in the templates and highlighted the other pages from the "select from list" for the other menus , they look ok. When I click from any of the internal links I can see the info but there is no template , just the red x's and it is all misplaced ! Any ideas of where else I could check or what it is I am not doing correctly would be most appreciated ! Thanks !www.hobblehillalpacas.com

Hi bear , I think I figured this template thing out ? I did some searching and found out if I turned off SEF in the Global Config and also cleaned Cache , and now the assigned template will load ok. Seems to be working

Hi Hobblehill,
If I understand correctly and you have disabled it to get this working?
I'll take a look at the SEF issues for you - it's much better to run with SEF if possible.

Yes , that is correct. when I go into Global Config , site-SEO settings. and Turn off "no" SEF urls the internal links will work and the assigned template is seen ok . Turn on "yes" to the SEF urls and the assigned template is gone , only the content and the red x's are seen. There is one other internal link that does not respon to this . It is the 'visit our photo gallery link" this page cannot be seen either way the SEF is set. This is where our "Slide Show Pro" will be installed. Has anybody seen this this before ??? Actually I think I just fixed this photo gallery link . I needed to change the link with the id to index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=53 where 53 is the id for the photo gallery , seems to work now . just need to add the "Slide Show Pro" Thanks ?

Hi ,I tried a few other options , but it still seems that the "Search Engine Friendly URL's" must be in the "NO" off position . is this a problem? all the links seem to be working fine in this set-up , Thanks Dave

We need to adjust your .htaccess file so that search engine friendly URL's function correctly. Emailing you about this.

<<Turn off "no" SEF urls>>
double negation confused me, I thought you meant "yes" for URL when saying turn off "no". thanks for posting the problem, my friend's had the same.
