I'm trying to get html to show in a small module (in this case a better business bureau link with logo), but it's doing one of two things. If I put the code directly into the modules content field, it simply just displays the code on the page. If I create an article and point it to that module, it just has the articles title as a link, which then goes to a page that has the code on it. I did some searching and only found some extensions that said they could allow this, but when I tried to install it, it gives me the 'cannot find joomla xml setup file' message. So then tried to find where to ftp it to, but all the results kept coming up with other extensions to manage ftp uploads to a Joomla site. Where do extensions get uploaded to, and do I even need an extension for this? The link is www.thefinancefixer.com/joomla and it is the module on the right side which says "BBB Link".

The next Joomla meeting is scheduled a week from today at 6:30PM Thursday June 9th. It is being chaired by Fred Sullivan. Also note that we are no longer meeting at Rose Hall, but across the street (at 146 W. 65th Street) from Rose Hall. Better directions will be posted later. We are not looking for chairs to sit on, rather, we need folks to chair for the next three meetings: July 14, August 11, September 8. As most of you know, chairing a meeting is very easy. You need to find Joomla presenters. You can present and/or you can find other presenters. Topics can range from Joomla templates, module and component reviews, how-to's, developer tips, site demonstrations, etc. I have found that it is best to have three people to present, but one presenter with a great topic can do a great job too. The meetings run from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM and come hungry because our friends at JoomlaTraining.com (also known as www.OSTraining.com) have been gracious sponsors by providing us with a budget for snacks and food. If you are interested in chairing a meeting, please contact me or post to this list.

TinyMCE has a HTML button on its toolbar. I suggest you install JCEditor, if you haven't. It's got some extra features that are quite interesting. Actually, with JCEditor all you'll have to do in your custom module is upload the logo image you want, then apply the link. All this directly in your article window.

Firstly, in the include and library directory, you get all the code that is used to build a Joomla application to begin with. The database code, the table code, sessions, plugins, etc Then in the main directory is a file called index.php, and the directories: administrator, components, modules, plugins, templates, and media These files constitute the joomla application - what the general user sees when he goes to your website. They are built using the "base" Then in another folder called "install" is yet another Joomla application which basically is JUST a set of screens to gather data, create a Joomla database, and create a Joomla website It is possible to take the base code and create a completely different set of code which will function like Joomla in many ways, but have a different interface for controlling it, etc. One of the things to understand is that there are certain common tasks when building a PHP website. A PHP website often has to connect to a MySQL database for data. It has to provide a system to allow a user to logon and a way to check to make sure the user has permission to do various things[edit content, post comments, etc] on the website. It frequently needs some form of skinning/templating so the design can be changed without changing code. It needs some way to send system generated emails to users. There are thousands of ways to do all of that. And every coder developes his own 'favorite' way to do it. For some things there are "best practices" on how to do things. On others, it is very up in the air. So freelance PHP developers that go from project to project are often having to learn what the "right" way for doing something is in that bit of custom code. That's where "frameworks" come into play. A framework basically means a collection of functions to do some of that stuff. Frameworks can be developed independently of any application[CakePHP, Symfony, Zend, etc] - and they can be developed specifically for an application[Joomla, Wordpress, Drupal]. Frameworks are documented, so instead of having to work through the code to figure things out, you can look at the documentation. And wheras there may only be three or four people in the world that understand all the functions and such in a custom application so users are locked into them - with frameworks you can find many more developers. The independent frameworks generally suffer from having too many features for things which are rarely done, and being somewhat overly complicated. The application frameworks generally have a problem in that often it is not possible to separate the framework from the application[you can't just use the User/ACL system from Wordpress, you have to have an entire wordpress site]. Joomla sits somewhere in the middle. About 60-80% of the "framework" for Joomla lies in the include directory. Depending on what pieces of Joomla you consider base[the file management system for images is managed by the media component for the most part - which is stored outside include. The user system also has a lot of needed code outside of include. Same with the content component, but it is debatable whether or not you /need/ a content component. And the same with the template component. Using frameworks frees developers from a lot of the "boring" bits of code and let's them focus on what they like. It saves time and money. The more familiar with a framework, the more time and money that can be saved[or alternatively, spent on extra features] All your Joomla Core developers also code PHP for a living. They either do so as freelancers, or serial entrepreneurs, or other processes. So even if a project their hired for is not a right fit for Joomla the CMS, it is still often economically efficient for them to use Joomla the Framework and build code on top of that. So as time goes by, with each new version of Joomla, they aim to provide a clearer separation between the framework and the CMS. Also keep in mind that, in my opinion, the core developers make most of their money through other projects. So while they have a need for a strong Joomla Framework...they really don't care so much about the CMS. Their main economic benefit of having a CMS is name recognition and that more people using it means more weird esoteric bugs are found which may be in the framework. It's one of the reasons why there is such a long dev lag between versions at times. The core team have economic motivation to keep improving the Framework, but none on building the CMS. So once the Framework is done, they only devote their spare time to the CMS. [In my opinion, this means Joomla has reached a point where they need to split into 2 teams, CMS development and Core development..] By splitting releases/updates into the 2 streams as they are doing, I think there is a good chance that both will benefit. It means major changes to the CMS can now be made without having to wait for the Framework changes to be ready to be released....and vice versa.

We're still at Lincoln Center, but we will now meet at a new space across the street from Rose Hall. Also, we need chairpersons and presenters for upcoming meetings. I will chair the July meeting and Laura has volunteered for September. We still need a chairperson for August. We also need presenters. If you have come across a great module or component, why not share it others at the next Joomla meet up? Please contact me if you are interested in presenting or chairing upcoming meetings. I also had a chance to test Joomla 1.7 Alpha 1 last night and the good news is it looks and feels exactly like Joomla 1.6. I was able to install 1.6 templates and modules without any modifications. I have got my fingers crossed that it will be a painless upgrade to 1.7 next month (July). I have pasted the deployment calendar below. It is also worth noting that support for Joomla 1.5 will end in April 2012. You might want to start steering those clients now using 1.5 to Joomla 1.6 and 1.7. And remember, Joomla Day NYC weekend is Oct. 22 and 23. For more info, see www.JoomlaDayNYC.com See you later tonight, - - - Steve 05 June - Joomla alpha 1 released for public testing 10 June - Feature freeze to prepare for beta release 13 June - Joomla beta 1 to be released for public testing 27 June - Joomla beta 2 to be released for public testing 4 July - Version 11.1 of the Joomla Platform to be released 10 July - Joomla 1.7 GA released 10 August - Joomla 1.6 reaches end of life and is no longer supported January 2012 - Next version of Joomla is released April 2012 - Joomla 1.5 reaches end of life -- Stephen Britton Technology Consultant sbritton at gmail.com ph: 914-661-0040 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Somewhere in the logon process someone sticks hardcodes the root domain, for example website is www.mydomain.com and at some point during the logon process, before the userid has been submitted, it is getting submitted to mydomain.com[perhaps in the form tag on the logon form]. So the user logs on to mydomain.com and then gets redirected back to www.mydomain.com A user logon is...at some point..stored in a cookie on the web server. Some identifiable bit of info is stored in the cookie and associated with the domain which set it[mydomain.com]. Depending on the browser configuration, some browsers will assume that if they are connected to www.mydomain.com they should also allow access to the server for mydomain.com cookies. Others are more paranoid and won't. So if your having a specific issue with a specific browser, check the domains. ESPECIALLY check all the domains in the logon process, not just the ones being displayed[ie it will drive you crazy if the logon form displays www.mydomain.com and after logging in your immediately redirected to another page on www.mydomain.com ... you will not /see/ that the data is being passed through just mydomain.com at some point.] You can try an extension like Redirect Blocker in firefox, http://code.kliu.org/noredirect/ and disable javascript to see if that helps you step through the process[I always attack it at the other end, debugging the PHP to catch the problem there as I have done it enough times that it's easy and quick for me] On 6/8/2011 11:59 AM, Mark Simko wrote: > Having a problem with logins on a Joomla website.

Message-ID: <80DCCE38-9C01-4B21-9AFE-3E6F27EEA014@gmail.com> I want to be able to offer a White Paper on a Joomla website. This is how it would work. Visitors to the website (non-registered guests) would be encouraged to fill out a form with some basic information and then be able to download a PDF White Paper. Ideally, it would not only allow the visitor to download the White Paper PDF, but also send an e-mail message with a link to download the PDF too. But don't want the URL to the PDF used without visitors filling out the form. So maybe it would create a temporary URL that would expire soon like 24-hours? I'm thinking a PHP script executed to send the PDF to the visitor's web browser would be good, because this way Google Analysts could report on the download. Need some method to store the collected basic information too. If there is already a module to do this in Joomla, please be so kind to share it with us, I imagine others may have a use for this. I don't want this to be annoying for the visitors to use, but there needs to be data collected. If folks have a better suggestion as to how to handle this I'm open to suggestions. I realize there might be something that does part of what I'm asking and I might have to adapt it. I wanted to keep this all within Joomla. It wouldn't be too difficult to link to a PHP program to do this, but I'd like to keep it all within Joomla so it flows with the rest of the website. Thanks!

One way is to use RSforms and a hidden menu item. This would allow any person who has the url to download it. A second method would be to use a cart that allows downloads. Tienda offers that. But you are making a mistake demanding that people fill out a form first. Many people use throwaway emails for this purpose. I would send the white paper as attachment after they give me first name and email address (make sure you have a recaptacha) . Use a forms module to get the basic info. On the confirmation page I would then ask if they could provide more details. This works better as they know feel that have gotten what they wanted Last thing is to place a link in the last page pdf asking what they thought of the white paper. This way you know if tehy really read it or not. Scott. On 6/11/2011 5:05 AM, David Roth wrote: > I want to be able to offer a White Paper on a Joomla website. This is > how it would work.

What is lacks in refinement, it makes up in features. It's $40 but you get a pretty complete system for distributing documents, free or for money, so your visitor info is covered in the cart part, and even manage uploads. The doc can be an immediate download, or emailed. Time or number of downloads is settable as well.

Meanwhile, I wanted to added some of my own stuff for CSS to this for some customization to add a few div class. Anyway, I realize if I add this to the CSS file provided with the commercial template that when there is an update for a bug fix or when it goes to 1.6, anything I added to their CSS file would be overwritten. So I thought about how to manage this, where I could still use my custom CSS for future releases. How are people doing this? Do you create an additional custom CSS file for the template, and then edit the updated templates? Or is there some place to squirrel away your own custom CSS? Thanks!

You are probably not finding a solution because this is not a good way to go about your problem. fixing your home page isn't going to fix all your problems just the first one. an easy solution would be to put your main site in a sub directory example mysite.com/index.html (intro) mysite.com/s/ (joomla) another solution is you can make the intro your joomla front page, you can than make sure all your joomla links don't redirect users to the root, example the logo clicking back to home. install a very bare template, with the intro and assign it to default menu item. If you are using k2, the frontpage doesn't have much other use, because you don't need the publish to front page. My advice is don't use a flash intro though.

I really like the idea of the subdirectory, it's such a simple solution. The flash intro is required by the client, I would prefer not to have it either.

Message-ID: <02b401cc3772$a0d82120$e2886360$@covenanttek.com> Hi All, I've been working with VirtueMart on a project and running into some limitations. I was wondering if anybody has experience with any of the alternative carts such as the OpenCart ports like JHShop or JooCart? redShop looks interesting too but expensive. This project has 14,000 items, multiple inventory locations and ships internationally and I obviously need a robust cart to make this fly. Any comments or suggestions or experiences you've had with the various carts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Herb Herbert M. Tucker Principal Covenant Technical Services, Inc.

So I am not sure if redShop can solve your problems. OpenCart is easy to use and stable. I have used it for a couple sites - collectible plates and a vintage book store, but I don't think it can handle 14,000 items, but it might as you can make product categories. The problem with OpenCart is it has limited CMS. You can create pages, but content management is not nearly as good as Joomla or WordPress. If you have the time, I would try Magento. I have played around with it, and it is an enterprise-grade e-commerce system (think Amazon-level), but it is complicated and there is a learning curve. On Thu, Jun 30, 2011 at 6:11 PM, Herbert M.
