Hello Everyone,

Please i am struggling here since two days.

We have developed a website which will user for buy plan,checkout ,payment
Have developed in my local machine which is windows and am using Xampp(C:/xampp/htdocs/SelfCarePortal)
When xampp running i able to open the website like http://localhost/SelfCarePortal/ or http://localhost/SelfCarePortal/index.php which will have Horizantal Menu Items (Home,About,Contact,Plans,Activate,Login) Here when i click on the Login page is should go to different URL like http://localhost/MySelfCarePortal/ after login those menu items will be different (My details,edit profile,my orders,logout,my usages) like these menu items should be there after login which will be left side menu item.

So here my question is how to manage the menu items,and login redirect in my local machine

Is there possiblity to do like this ?

Note: am using the Helix Framework(Jelly Net) Template

How to create different menu items for both

Can any one please help me out on this , am learning joomla

Thank you so much in Advance.

Hi.

To add several sites (domains, subdomains) to XAMPP you should configure XAMPP Virtualhost. Google this subjects.

Some tips:

Even when working on a localhost for folders of sites, you should use the names of the domain type:
Main domain - instead of SelfCarePortal should be used selfcareportal.loc
Subdomain - instead of MySelfCarePortal should be used my.selfcareportal.loc
This will avoid a confusion, correctly set up links and see the structure.

The use of Localhost like XAMPP and similar is more suitable for an experienced user, but not a beginner. It is better to develop a site at a real hosting. This will save you from a headache when setting up a server and will allow you to develop a site in a correctly configured environment.

If your Localhost was incorrectly configured, then in the future, when transferring the site to real hosting, you may have problems.

And when developing a site at a real hosting, you can always provide a link to get community help. When working on Localhost, this is not possible.

I would suggest you transfer your projects to real hosting, and then come back here if your problem does not disappear.

Thank you so much Pavel-ww , For your quick response

I cannot move the project to real host right now.

But here my question is : suppose if i move to real host and i can configure domains as you said like(selfcareportal.com , my.selfcareportal.com)

Is there possiblity to create horizantal Menu items for this (selfcareportal.com) and vertical Menu items for this(my.selfcareportal.com) with in the same Joomla installation with same DB have to use for both domains

Can you please tell me how to do this? Best possible way?

Thank you so much.

The creation of the menu is not a problem at all. You can use external link menu item type.

You can use https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/mightysites/ to combine both domains into one database. There are no solutions from the box for this. Only third-party extensions.

On xampp C:/xampp/htdocs/MySelfCarePortal/ will act as a different site

I recommend Don't use CaMelCaSe in folder names.
Also use Wamp https://wampserver.aviatechno.net/ not xampp. With Wamp you can have several instances of Joomla e.g. Wamp's \www\joomla01, \www\joomla02 etc. Also you can change php etc on the fly.

Thank you so much For your response Webdongle.
