URL confusion

Postby chrismint on Thu Feb 12, 2009 2:43 pm

1. Have you searched the forums and checked the documentation section for a solution?
yes
2. Please summarize your problem in a few lines.
Can't get my head around how urls should work with magento integration - Lack of brain size/chronic confusion?
3. What steps will reproduce the problem?

4. What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I've managed to get a Magento and Joomla install up and running, but have got a bit stuck working out how URLs are going to work now! When I navigate to the store section I get a set URL - http://s269337883.onlinehome.info/brack ... n&Itemid=4. When I move around in the store, this url stays the same, unlike when you move around in phpBB3 connected with jfusion - I think because of the visual integration being different?

My problem is this - if I want to link directly to a page in Magento that is displayed inside the Joomla page what URL should I use? Or is this even possible - would I be better off making a magento theme that looks like my existing Joomla site and having this as a subdomain?

Thanks,
Chris

Currently only wrapper is supported for Magento. There is no frameless available. You could try running the store stand alone as well.
Watch the Installation video tutorial here.

The setup I use on most systems is Joomla in the root of the website and Magento in a subdirectory. Saves you an expensive SSL certificate because www.yourdomain and shop.yourdomain need eitrher two certificates or and expensive multidomain certificate. You need only one if magento sits in www.yourdomain.com/store.
Make the magento theme look like the Joomla theme or visa versa.
