July 21, 201016 yr Author That all depends on where they are defined to be honest I am new to databases so I am not sure I understand what u mean. should I check the database for this string? thanks!
July 21, 201016 yr well it might be there, it might be in the files, it all depends. You will have to check both
July 21, 201016 yr Author well it might be there, it might be in the files, it all depends. You will have to check both that's a lot of files.. my virtuemart admin points to the broken link. should I go through the com_virtuemart folders for a configuration file?
July 21, 201016 yr check the config files and the database - its likely to be in a table called settings or something like that
July 21, 201016 yr What tool did you use to generate your code e.g. Dreamweaver? It looks like it has defaulted to the location on your local server and not updated when you've uploaded to the real server Paths should look something like style/style.css or if you link it to the root directory ../style/style.css with the ../ denoting moving up a directory Clear as mud?

I didn't use dreamweaver or edited much code at all. I used an existing theme and virtuemart moduls. it is this virtuemart com_virtuemart that points to the localhost and so both the virtuemart admin at the backend and the site's product link is broken - linking to localhost the major joomla configuration file is ok. it is only this component that didn't update the links for some reason...

Find this file administrator/components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart.cfg.php Alter the settings to point to your live site then upload
