What I did find with the templates is that there are a lot of formatting instructions that are applied to the default variables - ie they are already html coded so it can be difficult to do some things. But you can get access in the template to the raw data if you need it[for example, I needed raw data in order to create the google static maps] and then you have a lot more control.

Message-ID: <4bffc350912051135xa78c1d7s5cfa531a898a68db@mail.gmail.com> I've always wondered about this one. I'm not a big framework person, but I have worked in both Mootools and JQuery a bit, and I've always wondered why the continued love of Mootools? For a CMS encouraging third party devs, Mootools seems like the WORST possible choice. For lazy programmers, Mootools seems like a great choice. I admit, Mootools is easier to grasp quickly, to code for, etc. It is more "fun". But that fun comes at a cost[and maybe this has changed since I last looked deeply]. Mootools doesn't use a namespace. Over half the troubleshooting I've done on sites setup by others, when it involves weird front end stuff, is because of mootools. Specifically, it's because some of the other components installed are not using mootools and there is a function name conflict between the libraries mootools loads, and the libraries in the other code. JQuery, by contrast, HAS a namespace. It is much harder to cause a function name conflict that blows the javascript on a page out of the water. It's less "fun" to program in, but you don't run into stupid problems. And when you want to encourage people to download and install third party apps, it seems to me that your base supported javascript library should encourage that by not causing conflicts! Anyone know why mootools is getting so strongly embedded in Joomla[I see they had some sessions at the Dev Conference] instead of going to a sane platform? Is mootools finally gonna adopt namespaces? Or is this just the result of joomla front end devs not wanting to recode all the javascript into something less programmer friendly? -- ---- Hudson Valley Sudbury School What GPL is for application users Our school is for students Help your children grow, change, and learn Let your child direct, control, amend Check out http://www.sudburyschool.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Not a winter person, so I'm not up for the skying, but I sure am up to organizing such an event on the Joomla side. And I know a couple great trainers who might like to help out - as well as some local travel people who could suggest and arrange the location.

I've found the NYPHP folks very accomodating. As a PHP programmer first and a Joomla user second, I've always found NYPHP as the logical home for the Joomla email list... but based on the fact that many Joomla users don't even know, nor do they need to, that it is written in PHP perhaps it's not. :-) As for the website, I've been mulling that for a while and have a few[aka many] suggestions: 1) There should be an about us page with a general overview of the group 2) There should be a history page covering the founding of the group through organizing NYC's second JoomlaDay 3) We need to stress strongly that ALL skill levels of Joomla are welcome at the meetings. One thing I recommend is strongly encouraging non-coders to come early to the meeting and schedule the non-techie stuff for the beginning and save the techie stuff for the end 4) Encourage people new to joomla or considering Joomla to RSVP and ask them to make a note that they are new to Joomla[perhaps set a checkbox] - and place a count on the website of how many newbies are coming. If we KNOW there are 3 or 4 complete new people, than schedule a short 15 minute "welcome to Joomla" demo for them. Things like "this is how you can dynamically change the menu"..."this is how you can edit content on the frontpage".."this is how you add new content"... Really BASIC stuff. I know this was one of the things I did at the start of meetings, because quite frankly this kind of demo is not "sexy" and it doesn't show off your "skillz" so it is hard to find people willing to do the basics - but these basics are what really really attract new people to Joomla. The fact that once a site is up, they do NOT need to call a web designer for every little content change. Of course, this also means you need a few volunteers to present this - which shouldn't be too hard, just have a standard demo site everyone can use and run through the basics. If there is a page where people can tell if newbies are coming, then a volunteer will step forward[I'd also say take it to the next level and 2 or 3 days before the meeting, have the volunteer be able to send an email out to those newbies "Thanks for your RSVP, Marian Konop from Gotham Informatics, http://www.gothaminformatics.com, has volunteered to give you a brief demo at the upcoming meeting on X at Y time. Please make sure to come or let us know if something has come up and you need to cancel"] 5) Regular presentors should have bio pages on the website. Something like: Laura Gordon of RyTech Sites, http://www.rytechsites.com/ is a regular presentor at Joomla NYC. [brief bio] She has recently presented on X - brief description and date Y -brief description and date Z -brief description and date 6) Irregular presentors should be able to put up a bio page the month of and the month after a meeting. Something like Rafael ??? of Dioscouri Designs, http://www.dioscouri.com/ [brief bio] Demonstrating their new online shopping system Tienda on X date Most of this stuff is basic content editing, a directory component of some sort[SOBI2, K2, etc] and then a little coding on the RSVP side which I could work on during my dead week at the end of the month.

And we do have a bio page and presentation page. The bio page is called Card Exchange, for anyone who attends a meeting. And all presenters are encouraged to add any materials from the slideshow to the website's Meetings/Presentations download section. We don't have "regular presenters" and I don't think we ever will because people come and go. As far as gathering info from the RSVP and developing a presentation or demo around the requests, I believe that would be a job in itself. Are you volunteering for the job? ;-) I believe that decisions about what presentations we are interested in should be done at the meeting by people who are participating in the meetings. People volunteer their presentation, or volunteer to arrange for someone outside our group to come in and give a presentation, and we decide whether it is something we want at the meeting. For people to email in and say I want to see this and learn that, and the rest of us jump and do it, I for one am not fond of that idea. I think the group is based on mutual sharing, that people need to take the initiative to go on the Joomla.org site and other resource sites, and then follow up with discussions in the group.

Hearkening back to 2007, Laura, Anthony, Mitch, and yourself regularly presented on topics. I define a regular presenter as someone who does at least 3 presentations in a years time. To me, having a page dedicated to those people lets those looking at the group over time see what has been happening, and it's a bennie/thank you to the regular presentors as it does add to your resume/cover letter to be able to say you present regularly on Joomla at the NYC meetings. :-) > > As far as gathering info from the RSVP and developing a presentation or > demo around the requests, I believe that would be a job in itself.

One thing I learned at the Dreamweavers meeting, I had a whole presentation prepared on Joomla and I didn't get past editing content and menu's. That is an EXTREMELY powerful feature that I think many of us take for granted. But new users don't really understand/realize the power. It is also /boring/ for those of us who are already familiar with Joomla. So it can be boiled down into a 15 mintue presentation to be done at the beginning of the meeting only when we know there are people new to Joomla coming[ie we have that one question on the RSVP asking if their new to Joomla and encouraging them to RSVP so we can arrange it] Those who volunteer to do it can have a rotation. For them, it's a big benefit because it means the presentor gets to talk directly at the meeting to what are basically prospective clients. The presentor gets to send them an email a few days before the meeting reminding them that there is a presentation geared specifically to them, and at the same time gets to basically promote their own services with a brief bio of themselves. The downside of doing these presentations is that it somewhat dillutes the presentors reputation as more advanced users kind of associate them with "beginning Joomla"... so it is a trade off professionally, but it does help the group expand appeal and attract new people. Now, this one idea does require a bit more in setup than the others - since it requires some coding to setup the email communication functions and the page to check on how many newbies are coming[which is also useful to others, if you go and see that there are 5 new members coming, you know you can get there 10-15 mintues later because there is a presentation you have no interest in at the start of the meeting. :-)] *From:* Gary Mort > *To:* NYPHP SIG: Joomla > *Sent:* Fri, December 11, 2009 7:49:55 AM > *Subject:* Re: [joomla] list sig > > I can shoot an email to Hans Z. asking him to make the change.

This is a nice idea that can quickly go badly. I think that if there were prior requests put in, through the website, we might be able to do a short demo. I think we might be able to briefly cover some tech questions for newbies. I think that some problems can get very sticky, though. I saw one last night, where the owner had a problem not with his Joomla upload, but with his host properly directing traffic to his site. I'm also aware the my efforts to help him were disruptive at the meeting, and I apologize for that. So perhaps we could have people announce their problems, followed bya a 10 or 15 minute breakout where others could help them along. We could hold strictly to that 15 minute time limit. Those in a position to help could approach those requesting the help. Others also interested in the announced problem could come over to watch and learn. For those interested in demos, perhaps we can direct them to helpful resources on the web. > I > know this was one of the things I did at the start of meetings, because > quite frankly this kind of demo is not "sexy" Perhaps you should try to sex up your demos then! ;) > and it doesn't show off your > "skillz" That sounds lewd! > so it is hard to find people willing to do the basics - but these > basics are what really really attract new people to Joomla.

As people participate in the group, they can add to the discussion and decisions about what we do as a group. I wouldn't want to see the JUG become a one-sided situation where people only come to pick others' brains for their specific needs. There's one Meetup group who requires that attendees participate. I wouldn't go that far because sometimes new people need to get a feel for what's going on before they feel comfortable. As far as learning Joomla basics and finding out what Joomla is and does, that's what the InstallFest can provide. ________________________________ iTeachMe(TM) online learning system for Joomla!(R) web development See us on: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube ________________________________ From: Mark Simko To: joomla at lists.nyphp.org Sent: Fri, December 11, 2009 9:37:51 AM Subject: Re: [joomla] joomla Digest, Vol 36, Issue 8 On Fri, 2009-12-11 at 08:12 -0500, joomla-request at lists.nyphp.org wrote: > From: Gary Mort > 2) There should be a history page covering the founding of the group through > organizing NYC's second JoomlaDay Neat idea. > 4) Encourage people new to joomla or considering Joomla to RSVP and ask them > to make a note that they are new to Joomla[perhaps set a checkbox] - and > place a count on the website of how many newbies are coming.

Do you view presenters of basic subjects as > less capable? Well.. maybe I am projecting... since when the group was first formed I tended to use the first 15-20 minutes as people trickled in for an informal demo of basic joomla features - but I always felt running those kind of diminished my qualifications in others eyes as opposed to the more fun/advanced presentations others would get to do.

Well.. maybe I am projecting... since when the group was first formed I tended to use the first 15-20 minutes as people trickled in for an informal demo of basic joomla features - but I always felt running those kind of diminished my qualifications in others eyes as opposed to the more fun/advanced presentations others would get to do.

These are all the same things I've been working through and some of them I'm still learning. If I knew that I could pick up some pointers at the JUG meetings it would have motivated me to take the trip into the city from NJ. I am planning on getting to the meetings in any case but that would surely have got me out the door. I know somebody can show me how to do something in a few minutes that will take me an hour to read and research the web to figure out. As for the meetings being just a beginners workshop, that doesn't sound so good, but with the RSVP option being discussed and targeting what people have questions about, a 10-15 minutes at the start of the meeting as breakout mini-sessions sounds cool.

Look at what other people in the group are using and pick those when they meet most of your goals since that gives you a local resource to draw on for help. :-) Seriously though, that was the prime motivator for me in forming the group years ago. There were just so MANY good components out there, I wanted to talk to people face to face if I needed help, so I wanted a group to generate that collective knowledge base to draw on. By the same token, as long as the help resources are good, I would always refer to other locals before going out of the state/country. Not that there aren't a ton of good solutions outside the region, but if I have a choice I prefer to patronize locals. ---- Hudson Valley Sudbury School What GPL is for application users Our school is for students Help your children grow, change, and learn Let your child direct, control, amend Check out http://www.sudburyschool.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I can use this but I wouldn't I have to modify the core if I add this function to Media Manager? I would have to build out a component for admin users to upload images so I can restrict dimensions.

Product Gallery? Product Something. Joomla 1.0 component. It used that function and Anthony discovered that function gives odd results for certain images and non-image files[my hazy recollection is that it blows up the memory usage and tends to abort on most sites] If possible, I find that using the Magick Wand image extensions works better. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Since many social events take 10-15 minutes to get started, you could get a 15-20 minute tutorial session in. Of course, if you're targeting a new user base there should be an awareness of whether or not new folks are showing up. However, if you're finding newbies hit and miss then yeah, doing the extra work might not be worthwhile, unless you're trying to build that segment of the community.

At the same time some more advanced joomla! users can get together and answer questions on the forums and squash bugs... For newbies...this will be a great time for you to meet other joomla! users...for others this is a great time to give back and network as well!!! thanks, Laura www.RytechSites.com Create Dynamic Websites for your Company with Joomla!

With SEF turned off, the url will be something like: http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?somvar=x&othervar=y... With SEF turned on, the url will be something like: http://www.mydomain.com/index.php/somemadeupstring.html in the first case, that makes the base href / and for the second ir was /index.php/ Turning the urls into one that works and one that doesn't. This is a problem we enountered when upgrading Joomla 1.0 templates to Joomla 1.5, you have to insert the correct variable echo before the template path in order to keep everything working. Marian was working on writing that guideline up at some point, did you ever get that finished Marian? It was half a dozen or so little tips/tricks we found..they are documented elsewhere on the web, it was just we hit those specifically and had to gather them from 2 or 3 sites.

My personal opinion is that it won't help as things stand right now and just lead to resentment. As they stand now, the Joomla Core Team DOES work, on the core, which is the part of Joomla that they use for their paying projects. What doesn't get done are all the other components they don't use, Contacts, Polls, Banners, etc. Since I don't think one can match the fees they get for freelance projects where they use the Core, what will end up happening is that they will get paid to do the fun stuff they already do, the Core, and still the other items won't get done since they will get more money using what they wrote in their other paying projects. What really needs to happen is to get other groups committing to update/upgrade the other components. Which is where I see the user group could come in, if we sponsored/controlled one of those items we get extra exposure of our group and our individual members services. And our rep is on the line to make sure the component is kept up to date, even though it is not a "sexy" component to work on. Get half a dozen to a dozen companys and groups to do that each with ONE component, and then release cycles speed up. THEN it is time to talk about paying core developers, because I think it WOULD help. But if they go the route of paying the core developers before establishing a working structure for the rest, all that will lead to is the core being updated slightly faster, but no one else seeing that it is updated because without the other components very few people can actually take the core and do something with it. It would also mean that more people would have input and an idea of what new features are coming up, since there would be a lot of small teams all over actually working with them. I don't think it will happen, because quite frankly it means Open Source Matters has to give up some of the "control" they have over things - even though they still have the final say on accepting an upgraded component or not. And people are always reluctant to give up control. I just figured since I essentially "volunteered" us for this[even though it was just an example and not a commitment] it would be polite to make sure I pointed it out to the group. :-) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The current structure is just too hard to break into, in my viewpoint. But if they opened up the components they don't really want to work on anyway and invited sponsorship, I think it could be a good thing. But again, it means giving up control. And no one likes doing that. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I think it would be better called "directory".. that's what it really shines for, maintaining an internal company directory which has contact us forms and such built in. People see "contacts" and think of it as some sort of user address book for the end users, but it really is geared for an internal address book in my viewpoint. -- ---- Hudson Valley Sudbury School What GPL is for application users Our school is for students Help your children grow, change, and learn Let your child direct, control, amend Check out http://www.sudburyschool.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Browser Size creates an overlay with data Google collected about the actual viewable area in peoples browsers. This allows you to position critical elements where they will be seen without forcing users to scroll the page. Google Earth notes a 10% increase in downloads as the result of their using this to reposition the download button.

Interestingly enough, I didn't hear a lot of discussion about it at the Joomla Developers Conference earlier this month. But then I was only able to attend the 2nd day of that conference, so presumably it may have been discussed earlier. I am not going to take sides here except to say I hope the conversations can focus on development methodologies that are specific to Joomla, and not veer off into general recapitulations of ongoing notions of Open Source business models. I won't bother to cite examples of other Open Source projects that don't seem to have such a problem. This last statement is not intended as a troll, but rather a source of optimism. ;-) cheers, Forest Mars -- "In theory, theory and practice are exactly the same.

Message-ID: <4B34F615.4040208@reuel.net> Media Wiki looks great, but is there something 1.5 Joomla-ish that is a good basic Wiki?

While at KickApps I had a Joomla site setup as the main site, with KickApps-hosted community features (blogs, forums, photos) and setup two separate MediaWiki instances for API reference documentation. I also used the joomla plugin for mediawiki, which worked just fine for my purposes.

One person pointed out Google Wave might be useful, and as none of the target users have replied I'm not sure the effort of J! -> MediaWiki is right for this go round. I think that's one of my learning curves, finding the needful market for all the great possibilities. Leam
