Hi
Have you published content to the module positions?
Also can you check through this tutorial www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/how-to-fi...-joomla-16-template/. A link to your site would be helpful, assuming it is a joomla 2.5 site.
Regards
Mark

Hello aggelos,

Welcome to the forum. I can see you're having some problems. We'll coach you through this.

First thing to do is use Firebug to inspect the page. As you can see from my screenshot, it shows that the links to your stylesheets are not correct. So the page has no stylesheets and can't position anything.

First switch templates to a default template and make sure you can see your site with a standard template. That will insure there is nothing wrong with the Joomla installation itself.

Then go back through your template and see if you have the links to the style sheets correct and they are loaded to the server. Once that's done let us know if you are still having problems.

Cheers,
Ed

Ok thank you this worked Fine but!!1

Under your video index.php
the paths:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="[color=red]/[/color]<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>[color=red]/[/color]templates/system/css/system.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/css/template.css" type="text/css" />

are wrong!!

and intead of :
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/css/template.css" type="text/css" />

you must have this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template; ?>/css/template.css" type="text/css" />

for joomla to work!

anyway thanks for help!!

Thanks for the heads up on that. We'll double check and fix this. You're the first student to report an error, so we really appreciate your feedback.

Cheers,
