Hiya everyone, hope you are all doing well.

I am looking to purchase thyme, but must admit, after reading through the forums, faq and documentation, i found myself lost and confused.

Is Thyme yet a component for joomla or still a stand alone?

I would like to site to be the same as http://www.visittioga.com/ and not within a wrapper

Would I go with
Joomla 1.5 (beta)
Joomla Studio 1.5
Joomla 1.5 Authentication

and not need the
Mambo / Joomla Authentication

or do i need to have all 3 of them (and the thyme and joomla application )

thank you kindly for your time

Joomla 1.5 is now a release version, and I have found it stable.

In my "working" with thyme the easiest is to wrap it, and use Authentication.

I have scratched the surface of of Joomla Studio, and it has some powerful features which makes it worth learning.

thank you for your reply, its encouraging to know that it is doing well for 1.5

do i only need to install these modules
Joomla Studio 1.5
Joomla 1.5 Authentication

or do i need to install this one also?

Mambo / Joomla Authentication

Ian is the best one to answer this, but I believe that you don't need the

Mambo / Joomla Authentication

Glenn is correct. You don't need the Joomla / Mambo auth module.

Hi,

If you chose to wrap thyme, you can edit the wrapper URL and append:

?category=Category Name

to the end of it. Let me know if you have any trouble.

Hi,

Do you happen to have another menu item that points to com_thyme in Joomla? It may be in Joomla's trash in which case please delete it permanently.

hiya again ian Smile

Ok, there were menu items that were in the trash...i dumped them perminantly, however, when i go back and click on the arrows, it gives me a 404

this may have something to do with the sef urls i am having problems with

http://www.extrosoft.com/option,com_forum/Itemid,47/page,viewtopic/p,14527/#14527

when i click the arrow, and it gos off to the 404, this is the url its trying to follow

Hi,

The SEF urls generated by Thyme are similar to Joomla's default SEF urls. If you are using a 3rd party SEF mambot / plugin, it may not support Thyme. It looks like this is the case for you. Please turn off SEF URLs in your Joomla Studio project.
