Re: full page article url, logo etc in print friendly page

I now use Joomla 1.5 and have not implemented this yet, so I cannot go back to check. However, re-reading the code I would not be surprised if the error originates in the second and third lines which merged together would read: "$urlparttoexplode = substr($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], 12);...

Users making sharing groups?

I would like to enable users to upload an image or edit a content item to which access is generally forbidden except for those users chosen by the submitting user. Does anyone have any thoughts on how best to accomplish that?

I tried Wamp5 and JSAS as local server alternatives but in both cases I got php errors with required and included php files as well as with urls partly made up of a mosconfig bit.

Re: failing to get database result

Thankfully I managed to solve it... I discovered by chance that $moap_catids and $moap_sectids are arrays, so I had to put what I had into a foreach loop after exploding the arrays. Well I suppose this is how one learns - pity though that it is so incredibly time consuming!

I might be wrong but I have the impression that you already have the necessary php code. If so, I know that there are modules in the Joomla Extensions directory (5th menu item from the left above) in which you can drop your php which will then display in a module position (one of them is Mod PHP).
