When i type in mydomain.com the twitter feed javascript on the hompage does not load, but when i navigate to mydomain.com/site/index it loads fine - im confused as i thought these were the same page?

Any suggestions?

Do i need to do something in my htaccess?
thanks!

Hi stephanie23,

I’ll do what I can to help you sort this out!

Are you using .htaccess to remove index.php?

Can you post the template code for us to take a look at?

Cheers,

Thanks - here is the code!
htaccess:
<pre><code>
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
Options -Indexes
IndexIgnore *
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?/site/404
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{http_host}/$1 [R=301,L]
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
      RewriteEngine On
      # Removes index.php
      RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
      # If 404s, “No Input File” or every URL returns the same thing
      # make it /index.php?/$1 above (add the question mark)
</IfModule>
<FilesMatch “\.(html|htm|php)$”>
  Header set imagetoolbar “no”
</FilesMatch>

I cant post the template it wont let me is says its too long…
My javacscript is in my footer which is being pulled in by an embed.

is mydomain.com supposed to redirect to mydomain.com/site/index? Because mine doesnt. This same page without the javacscript is loading when you type mydomain.com/site/wrongurl….. ive noticed the menu hover javascrupt is not loading either.

thanks

Hi stephanie23,

You can post your template code into a utility like Pastie and link it back here. Be sure to include your javascript that’s in the embed as well.

is mydomain.com supposed to redirect to mydomain.com/site/index? Because mine doesnt. This same page without the javacscript is loading when you type mydomain.com/site/wrongurl….. ive noticed the menu hover javascrupt is not loading either.

No, going to mydomain.com should load the template you have set as your site’s index template. That can be identified by looking Design->Template Manager and look for the group that has an asterisk by it.

As far as the wrong URL, ExpressionEngine will default to displaying your homepage if you haven’t set a 404.

ive working out that the menu hover is due to conditionals, and the fact that mydomain.com is not loading mydomain.com/site/index despite being set to the homepage.

When you say going to ” mydomain.com should load the template you have set as your site’s index template” do you mean it should actually change the url displayed in the browser?

What is it thats loading then on the mydomain.com>? it looks exactly like mydomain.com/site/index, but without my twitter feed, and without having /site/index appended to the end of the url in the browser address window.

I definitely have the index set as homepage with the little red asterisk.

I fixed it!

I added a conditional to my menu so the the current style applied to the home button on the navigation even when there was no second segment in the url. This has fixed both the menus and automagically the twitter feed…

Any ideas why would this be?

Hello Stefani,

I am glad to hear it!

I am not sure why this made it work, but it could have to do with the conditionals and the parse order.

Is there anything else I can do for you?

Cheers,
