So you just change your display template to embed the mambot code, and then when the plugin runs it converts it to an add to cart button. The downside of SimpleCart is it is easy to override the pricing options[ie, since the price is in the javascript, one can change $50 to $5 and then checkout] - so it has to be a low volume set of purchases where the seller is going to check the prices paid in paypal and reject/refund anyone who tries to get funny. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I was thinking of something similiar, but instead just attach a wildcard DNS record to the website, and use some htaccess magic to transfer ny.mydomain.com --> mydomain.com?template=ny [or whatever the template override code is these days]. Then you just need to add a new template to match the new domain and everything works. :-) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have a Joomla site in a very embryonic stage (have not minimal or no changes to default and commercial template), and have found after the content manager has made some menu changes and article additions, that modules on the right module no longer appear in IE7 and IE8, or Chrome. http://www.terrykim.net/clients/kas/ Strangely, in Firefox 3 they do appear. I have reverted to the default ja_purity and beez template to see if the problem is due to a styling conflict with a commercial template used, but the issue persists there as well. I have also renamed the 'right' modules to be 'farright', and replaced the api call in the index.php countModules('right')): ?>

to have 'farright' instead. The issue still persists... and I am scratching my head. When I change the position of a visible module on the left, and change it to right, it immediately disappears. I have switched back to the original state, and placed the modules back in the 'right' position. Joomla 1.5.14, a minimum of components of modules installed (JCE Administration, JComments, Linkr, JoomlaPack, no 3rd party modules, plugins (Content -QTube, Content DDRFS, Content-Linkr, Content Roxbox, System - JComments, User -JComments). The customer has been playing around with the banner component, adding, and then deleting a module. At the moment, as of a call I have just received from him, he says the left modules also are disappearing from browsers other than FF3.6, and lo and behold, he is correct. Any ideas?

However, if you really start getting into dev heavily, I am afraid Mitch is right about MacPorts. After weeks of struggling and months of installing "just one" app from source to do something, I am breezing through the reinstall setup I was dreading using MacPorts. If you find yourself compiling something from source, it's time to look into MacPorts. If your just doing MySQL/PHP MAMP is a solid solution.

Hopefully that's changed..but if not, you can download and install a version of XAMP with PHP 5.2 Grumble... I was just getting to love MacPorts but everything they have is geared to PHP 5.3 as well. I was able to install a PHP 5.2 port, but all the other packages I wanted[ImageMAgick, Gmagick, etc] install 5.3 specific versions.

I have a virtual server which gives me my own instance of Centos . I can use their CPanel or roll my own which I do .. I use http://jtl.net/vps.html which has the best tech support ever.

On a low volume site, shared hosting is usually acceptable. If the website gets high volume, the latency will inconvenience visitors, and may adversely affect the goal of the website. If you need very fast page loading, dedicated servers, virtual servers, or shared servers with very few 'tenants' are the way to go. Other things to consider: Shared hosting can be very inexpensive, and for low volume websites, this may be more sensible for your client. Some shared hosts are easier to work with than others. I've found some that are impossible - waiting hours or days for changes to take effect. Some hosts may be a bit more difficult to get Joomla running on. For instance, the host I generally use needs tweaks to the configuration in order to get SEF working properly. Fortunately, there is documentation that makes this fairly simple. > >> I'm not sure if this server is the best for joomla. > >> That depends on the ease of working with the host, what they have in documentation, and what they have running. I will only run on a linux host. I have not tried running on a Windows host. You need: PHP5 & MySQL You also need a web server, and Apache is well documented, although you heard at the meeting that lighttpd is favored by some. What is best depends on what you are comfortable working with, what performs adequately for the situation, and that the cost is reasonable for the task. > >> Wondering if you all give tell me what hosting company you recommend for > >> your clients. There's an invitation for a brawl! I am using 1&1 for some of my small clients, but others will scoff at this. I've moved one off of GoDaddy because it was too hard for me to work with that host, and from what I could see by other people's posts, there were going to be bigger problems ahead. So here's a practical suggestions: If you are considering a host, go to the Joomla forums (at Joomla.org) and do a search on that host. You'll see some of the issues that people have had. You'll get an idea if it is workable, and how to deal with configuration and other 'problems'. > >> I'd rather not dealing with the hosting on my end. I know that feeling. But ... It is far worse to have to deal with a host that just stinks. In my experience, it is easier to move the client over to a host that is better. A lot better. I'd never do it the other way again. Ever! Make of that what you will. > ?I would rather be able > >> to guide my client to the right hosting company. Well, it ain't all kittens and rainbows! ;) You'll probably find it is quicker and easier to do it for them. > >> What do I need to look for in a host that will best support joomla and cms > >> in general?

All the problems with hosting end up on your plate as bad web design performance etc etc etc. Customers have this nasty habit of trying to save a few dollars a month , yet spend your dollars in your (unpaid) time dealing with issues associated with hosting. To me shared hosting is ok for the non business impact sites, any site that has the potential to impact business or expand and need SSL and or multiple apps like CRM and corp site and maybe even HR apps etc then you need to be on a virtual server. To this day it amazes me that folks who dev websites for a living don't have their own (virtual) server online to work on. You can't know how many times I have seen "well it looks fine on my local .*.amp system. But when its on the internet its not the same etc.. Or the background noise of whimpering and sobbing , and the moaning death throes of hard drive about to become a recycling candidate. "How much is data recovery" "When my hard drive clicks does this mean its talking in Xhosa to me" "I backed it up locally so that means you can still get it right" "I can't back up my desktop does not have reverse" "It's on the internet so its backed up" Monday morning rant off Oz From garyamort at gmail.com Mon Mar 15 10:56:36 2010 From: garyamort at gmail.com (Gary Mort) Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 10:56:36 -0400 Subject: [joomla] Template frameworks Message-ID: <4bffc351003150756g7029313fybb1204ad2e02d046@mail.gmail.com> Anyone else getting little overwhelmed by these new "frameworks" for templates?

With some of the more complex template systems, this can be a real pain to do. I have found http://www.joomlapraise.com/joomla/extensions/premium/template-parameters-interface.php this extension does a good job of making things "easy" for you by scanning for all the images in use and giving you a UI to upload and replace images. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <010501cac6da$12caef20$3860cd60$@com> Hi All, I found this in Akeeba Backkup's documentation and thought I would pass it along as I hadn't heard about this before now. Does anybody know if this is actually an issue when working in the backend? " Google Chrome 4 introduced a feature where it permanently "remembers" redirections. Since redirections are a key component to the internal working of Joomla!T, using Google Chrome 4+ to administer your Joomla!T site can lead to unexpected results. Therefore we strongly recommend against using it for any site administration tasks. Akeeba Backup includes workarounds for Chrome's behaviour, but we can't guarantee that anything else in Joomla! (including installation) will work smoothy." Ciao', Herb Herbert M. Tucker Principal Covenant Technical Services, Inc.

Here's what I would do. I'd create a new twitter module and publish it for ALL band pages. The twitter module would look up the twitter account for the band it was displaying (this would need to be cached of course). Then rinse and repeat process for all the other modules that would be displaying for each band. In the end it will provide the most flexibility and be easiest to manage, even if it means you will have higher development costs up front. If I wasn't busy with my real job I'd offer to code for MP3s.

I got some good responses from regulars on the list namely Scott, Mitch, and Gary. See the brief summary of their responses below. I was also referred to another extension by another developer: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/multiple-sites/5550 I hope this helps! If anyone knows of any sites and especially developers that have worked on these types of sites, please let us know. Best regards, Sean CEO/Founder SoulRealiS (http://www.soulrealis.com) ------------------- Scott may be "building a system for a lead generation which could meet your needs." Mitch * one Joomla master * separate templates for each state * create a menu (with an unpublished module) linking to each "state" content area Gary or something similiar [to Gary], but instead just attach a wildcard DNS record to the website, and use some htaccess magic to transfer ny.mydomain.com --> mydomain.com?template=ny [or whatever the template override code is these days]. Then you just need to add a new template to match the new domain and everything works. :-) ________________________________ From: "Chanin, Brad" To: joomla at lists.nyphp.org Sent: Thu, March 11, 2010 11:31:08 AM Subject: [joomla] Multisite functionality Multisite functionality Hi there.

We are running 10+ related websites on separate domains, and would like to be able to reuse/share/synchronize and manage content items and more across domains.

I am working on an accountant's site and found that RSS feeds are nice to use for financial articles that auto update. I also have a stock ticker. You can embed any of that code in a custom module. Currency converters and things like that are typically Java script and you can find them and embed them in a module too. I was trying to do a calorie counter on a health site and didn't have much luck with getting it working but I see all the scripts are available. Google mortgage calculator code and see what pops up.

After I installed Joomla (in my case at Godaddy.com) I was getting Error Msg 404 also. It had to do with permissions that had not been done during the installation procedure. Godaddy people had to set access/read/write permissions properly by hand at their end. When they did all the Error Msgs disappeared. Hope this helps. David Fisher Skyborough Group P.O.

I suggest installing the latest/greatest version of Joomla in another directory and using the same MySQL database run it and see if the problem goes away. Do you still have the problem with other web browsers on the Mac such as Safari or Google Chome? If that clears it up, re-install Firefox. Hope this helps!
