Hi guys,

I am looking for any ideas on a strange ongoing but intermittent problem I am having on one of my sites nswagtc.org.au. If it is occurring when you look, you will notice that when you mouse over or click on the Home menu link that the URL will pick up one of the following prefixes: hwww. fwww. ww. or mob.

This does not happen on the other menu links or for the site logo link through to the home page; though once the prefix is place it stays there for the other relative links.

I have checked and refreshed the .htaccess file. Also turned the Joomla core SEF on and off without apparent impact on the problem.

I am now looking for other ideas to pursue...

seems to work ok in IE8...

Nor for me at this moment. Frustrating buggers, these intermittent errors. When it does happen (about 1 in 4). it happens on IE and Chrome as well as FF (or so my experience tells me). And FWIW I have never noticed it in the administrator backend - only seems to happen on the Main Menu Home link.

Problem still occurring intermittently.

No-one have any ideas for me to investigate?

Try looking at these things
1, what type of menu item is it - link to a component and set as default?
2. Any SEF URL addons?
3. Any detecting (even via template) of viewing device set up?
4. ANY alluding to hoem page in htaccess file

Hmm – I can’t reproduce your problem but I can see that it’s a fixed WWW link from here – clearly something is different in set up

Hi Audra, and thanks for putting forward some ideas. It is bound to be something stupid.

<1, what type of menu item is it - link to a component and set as default?>

It shows with the default star, and as Type Articles - Front Page. Its link shows as
index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage . Its menu id is 1.

<2. Any SEF URL addons?>

No - only ever used the Joomla Core SEF, which is currently on.

<3. Any detecting (even via template) of viewing device set up?>

I don't think so. I have actually deleted all the templates except the current Afterburner one and Alledia Bolt though this has not been used. I have a vague memory that I may have tried a pda friendly template at one stage but if so this was a long time ago - much longer than the emergence of the problem. Is there something else I should be looking for rather than just templates and their settings?

<4. ANY alluding to hoem page in htaccess file>

Not an expert on .htaccess files but I have restored it to a core Joomla htaccess.txt with no success. At the top I have

AddHandler phpini-cgi .php .htm
Action phpini-cgi /cgi-bin/php5-custom-ini.cgi

which is required for the host. I have this on other sites on the same host without the same problem.

Have "Options FollowSymLinks" - as per my other sites on this host.

Not sure what you mean by this...

I can't reproduce the error either. Is it only occuring when you are logged in as an admin user?

Hi ecweb,

it is playing up for me at the moment. Normally i see it when I am not logged in at all to the site, though I may or may not be logged in to the admin backend.
