Joomla file system routing -

a friend asked me him change on joomla website, i'm having bit of difficulty understanding file system , routing. i've read far, looks sef urls activated. if sub directory /index.php/standings, instance, how can figure out templates/modules/etc being used/loaded url?

note - have ftp access, access admin if necessary.

now if sub directory /index.php/standings, instance, how can figure out templates/modules/etc being used/loaded url?

you'll need admin access.

for template(s) sign-in backend go extensions > template manager.

you'll see details of templates installed on site , there 1 default template (marked star) location 'site' .

all pages on site use template unless other templates have been assigned specific pages. find other assigned templates check mark in assigned column, click template name, under the menu assignment tab menu items template has been assigned to.

for modules/etc . backend go menus , locate menu standings link. listing give information type of link, e.g. 'articles » single article' if menu item article, or maybe component or 1 of many other types of joomla menu links.

open standings menu item, click module assignment tab , you'll see details of modules assigigned menu item.

lastly, if standings menu link single article, locate , open article (from content > article manager) , dynamic content come plugin, enclosed curly braces: eg {plugin-id}. name give indication of look.

good luck!
