For the past two years (and maybe longer!) OS Training has provided the food for our monthly meetings. If you or a friend need training in Joomla, WordPress or Drupal, check out OSTraining.com They offer video tutorials as well as scheduled classroom training. (Our own Laura Gordon teaches the Joomla class in NYC.) I have taken the online Joomla video tutorials and they have helped me. Virtue Mart has received mixed reviews from members. I have personally used it without any problems, but I know there are others who feel differently. Either way, the new Virtue Mart is worth checking out if you need to add e-commerce to your Joomla website. http://www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/virtuemart/ -- Stephen Britton Technology Consultant sbritton at gmail.com Twitter: @StephenBritton ph: 914-661-0040 "Life isn't about finding yourself.

Grab a cup of coffee (or a cold beer) and plan to spend the next 42 minutes watching Brian show the hidden features of Joomla 1.7. Some secrets are well-known like Page Break and the JCE Editor, but most are real secrets, like how to create elaborate forms with the new Form and Registration tool, shorten domain URLs with the Redirect Manager and design specialized Admin panels with Admin Praise Light and there are many others. It's a must see. I guarantee you will learn at least one or two new features about Joomla 1.7. (NOTE: We must get Brian Teeman, - one of the Joomla founders - to present at the next Joomla Day NYC Weekend 2012) http://www.slideshare.net/brianteeman/hidden-joomla-17-secrets I also want to remind everyone that the next Joomla NYC Meeting takes place at 6:30 PM on Thursday, Nov. 10th at Lincoln Center, 146 W. 65th Street. (See joomlanyc.org for more details.) This meeting is extra special because along with the presentations, we will be asking those interested in becoming a Joomla NYC board member, to give a short one paragraph speech on why they want to join the board. Current board members much also present. I will be posting more info on the board elections later this week. Have a great weekend!

It covers two topics - women in technology (or the lack of, although I have found an almost 50/50 female/male ratio working with Joomla) and the use of profanity among developers. I have to agree that with almost every project that I have worked on, there seems to be an abundance of people using four letter words. I have also found that using profanity has never improved a project and in fact, in many cases made the situation worse. Most Joomla folks that I have been around do not use profanity (at least not very often) and respect others, regardless of whether they are male or female, but Peter's article is worth a read if you have a minute. http://bit.ly/uWwoev -- Stephen Britton Technology Consultant sbritton at gmail.com Twitter: @StephenBritton ph: 914-661-0040 "Life isn't about finding yourself.

Please try to keep it to a few paragraphs and no longer than three minutes. If you cannot make the meeting, you can ask me or another member to read it for you. In a nutshell, we want to hear what you have contributed to the group and what you would like to do to make the Joomla NYC even better. To get an idea of what we want, I have posted a copy of Laura Gordon's presentation at the bottom of this message (Hope you don't mind Laura :-). Among the changes that the current board has made is to reduce the board to seven members from the current 13. We have decided that it is better to have a smaller board where every member is expected to participate than a large board where some members participate and some do not. We will take the names of those who would like to be on the board and create ballots. We will then vote at the December meeting. Note that there will be no absentee voting. You have to attend the December meeting to vote. If you want an idea of what it is like to be on the board, there is a short explanation below: Responsibilities: Attend at least five to six monthly meetings per year. (Note that there can be exceptions, but this rule is important because board members need to know what the group is doing.) Chair at least one monthly meeting per year. Volunteer to help at monthly meetings, JoomlaCamp, and Joomla Day NYC Weekend. Constantly promote Joomla to members and outsiders. Help Joomla newcomers. Communicate ideas to the board and other members. Once the board has been voted on, those board members will then choose who will be President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Web Master/Mistress from the group. It should also be noted that board position terms are limited to one year. This gives everyone a chance to serve. Although, there can be exceptions, this would require a 100% agreement from all board members. Please let me know if you have further questions. I hope to see everyone at the Joomla NYC November Meeting this Thursday. - - - Steve -- Stephen Britton Technology Consultant sbritton at gmail.com Twitter: @StephenBritton ph: 914-661-0040 "Life isn't about finding yourself.

When I did the upgrade the upgrade was really for CONTENT only, using the (jupgrade) migration tool it took minutes to do... 2. I rebuilt the template off of a 1.7 template, but then adjusted it as I needed 3. I reinstalled new versions of all of the components that I was using to the 1.7 versions. Some of the components have versions that allow you to 'migrate', some better than others, but that is really component dependent. 4. this is a great time to 'adjust your template', organization and overall look of your site, especially if the site is 2-3 years old, why not, if you are going through the time to upgrade, might as well make it a little visual, if you want. Be patient, some things work a little differently, but you'll get used to it! Also keep in mind, version 2.5 is coming out in jan/feb 2012, supposedly the jump from 1.7 to 2.5 won't be as big, so if you start the migration plan now, and you can, it might be something to think about. One more thing to think about, I have told my clients that they don't 'HAVE' to upgrade to 1.7 or even 2.5 immediately, but to create a budget plan to at least start thinking about the migration during 2012...eventually my guess is by 2012, any new extensions, etc won't work in 1.5, which will 'force' you to upgrade anyway...so plan and budget ahead of time. I'll be at the meeting in december so see you then! perhaps if you are all interested I could do a demo of the migration of a basic site from 1.5 to 1.7... -- Laura On Wed, Nov 9, 2011 at 5:23 PM, Stephen Britton wrote: > Hi Gang, > > One last reminder about tomorrow night's November Joomla User Group > meeting at 6:30 PM at Lincoln Center (for directions see www.joomlanyc.org) > > I also noticed that Steve Burge just posted another tutorial to > OSTraining.com This one is about SP Upgrade, a program that helps guide you > through the process of upgrading from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 1.7. > > > http://www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/sp-upgrade-for-joomla-15-to-17-migration/ > > I have a few Joomla 1.5 sites that will eventually need to be upgraded and > I am not looking forward to it.

You're right, it can be a little slow. I remember with WordPress that it was a process that improved with time. The first WP auto updates (version 2.7?) were slooooww. Each subsequent version since then was quicker. I'm sure the same will be true of Joomla. I know Nick from Akeeba is already committing quite a lot of improvements.

I need some help figuring out how to redirect site members to a page, after login. Specifically, when you give out a link to something like: http://members.poweroptions.org/news/newsletters/22-fall-2011-newsletter If a member follows this link, and the member is NOT logged into the site, they will be asked to login. After a user is logged in, they are taken to the home page, NOT the page they were being directed to in the first place. My client wants to redirect to the correct, after login, automatically. Is there way to do this? I tried using: Advanced Login Redirect on 404. It worked for a while, but now it's not working at all. Please help.
