Hi, all I can suggest is to contact the publisher and ask for an errata or any other kind of "digital" update -- if available. Depending on the book's success (== sales) you might be lucky and such things exists (typically involves additional work from the author ~ payments ~ costs. Good s...

Fatal error: Class 'InputFilter' not found in components/com_tutorials/tutorials.class.php on line 73 wow, "InputFilter" is even older than any of the "J*Filter" stuff. In line 73 change "InputFilter::" to "JFilterInput::" -- there might be more places where ...

I've seen that this book was published in May 2007, is it a problem of Joomla version in time that this book was written? it definitely is. In May '07, Joomla! was still in Beta 2 and it took another nine months for Joomla! to become final - new lifeforms come into being in this very period of time...

Hi, seems like not all URL "formats" are forwarded correctly, i.e. - http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,90000.msg458387.html#msg458387 finds the topic "90000", but not the post "458387", and the page-style is plain white This form works nice(er): - http://forum.joo...

Hi, we're probably hijacking this thread, but anyway ... How to do things always depends on what is needed :-) There's no general rule or "law". Let me just clarify my statement about Views and their Models. This was taken from JView::setModel(&$model, $default = false): We support a m...

Hi, and welcome to the forum. This sounds very specific although it's "just a form". You may try one of the many " form builders " available and see if they run well with 1.5 It definitely smells like a Component to render the form, store the results (session or database), and to...

Hi, I presume that your "login script" somehow stores the status of a successful login, either in a cookie, the standard $_SESSION or a database. You didn't mention what version you use. The best way to implement this in Joomla! 1.5 would be a system plugin or an authentication plugin . Th...

Hi, the relationship of View and Model should be 1:1 not 1:n. the relationship of Model and Layout can be 1:n. If a component needs to display different types of data, each dataset becomes a model used by one view. The general MVC pattern allows one to toggle the datamodel for a view at good will, a...

Hi, it's generated by JHTMLBehavior::mootools(), called by JHTML::script( .., $mootools=true), whenever a "pane" is needed or a "tooltip" (front-end editing) and it's determined by a component, module, plugin (i.e. Legacy Plugin), and technically even by a template. It can't be c...

p.s. the lack of reliable documention was geared towards the "tutorials" ... well, I think you're right about that and like the people who wrote them in their spare time, you're free to provide corrections. Should someone find another free moment or the muse to fix it, I'm sure it's going...

I have to scratch my head and wonder where the heck is the code? it's in the class that extends this abstract method: class JDatabaseMySQL extends JDatabase It might look strange in PHP4 but would make sense if the code *was* written in PHP5 where classes can be defined as "abstract" to f...

Hi, so, if this is a "community website" get CommunityBuilder (aka "CB"). It's *the* component to do this kinda work and what's not in-the-box can be added via CB-plugins; there are plenty on their page. If you need that much customization use J! 1.5.0; not only is this the new v...

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

sure it's possible, but please define "content". The term is pretty generic depite it has a specific meaning in Joomla! world.

And please let us know what version of J! you're using.

Have fun,

Hi, getDBO() is fine and holds the internal mysql resource handle which is needed, but: the SQL runs thru replacePrefix() (via setQuery()) which might potentionally remove "ENGINE=MEMORY;" or anything behind the closing ")" to prevent sql injection ??- I'm not sure. Look at the f...

Hey, the doc for setQuery() states: "Sets the SQL query string for later execution.". You need to call $db->query() to execute it. And it's set Query() not Set Query(); you'll get in trouble if this runs in PHP5. I'd actually just use $db->replacePrefix() instead of setQuery(). All you wan...

Hi, yes, I was refering to the memory-head tables and no: I don't have any other links at hand :) Reading the code snippet it seems like this ranking data is already available in the database. If you have MySQL 4 runnin you could instead do a subquery and JOIN that with the docman tables. The fileli...

Hi, @bascherz: I don't think that's what cjcj01 is intending to do. The filenames must not be in asc/desc order but by the order provided in the IN() clause. the order of the the list of filenames is really important as it's returned from a ranked search query I assume it could also be "filenam...

Hi, too bad it wasn't that simple to solve :-) It sounds like you have both IDEs installed ??? Do they share the same workspaces, or projects? If so, avoid that! Might be inconvenient, but avoid it. Please create a brand new plain workspace at some different location (File > Switch Workspace) and cr...

Hallo, you already wrote the code but just need to put the pieces together in the right way: [php] [/php] or if you need additional markup in between [php] [/php] that's all a bit hackish and you should consider writing a system plugin rather to test for the frontpage (system plugins *also* rn in ...

Hi,

in 1.5 test for $user->guest - if it's true, the user did not yet login.
$user = &JFactory::getUser();

in 1.0 check the global $my variable.

Hi, I've never seen such a strange behaviour. Does it happen with all files or just a specific "type" (extension)? Have you already run an update from "Help > Software updates" ? Did this error happen aftern a recent update? What "brand" or distribution of Eclipse do you use? Native Eclipse IDE with...

Hi, this sounds very interesting and regaring the simple fact that it's a common practice in printed publications to have multiple authors it should indeed become a feature. Trouble with current Joomla! is the association of "authors" and users. You'd need a list of names which could potentionally c...

Hi, if the component is not supposed to be used by others, the code would be ok. As soon as J! is installed in a subdirectory this line / component will certainly fail, thus $mosConfig_absolute_path is the right way to go for J! 1.0.x I also found several bizarre hosters where $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROO...

Hi, I don't want to sound picky or rude, but if you were searching for information using all the same wrong terms and relations like in your question, I'm not surprised you don't find anything useful ;-) You'll find valuable information and documentation about the "Mootools JavaScript Library" used ...

Hi, so all you need is the incremented record id? Try $database->insertid() right after you run the INSERT query, and you should receive the last auto_increment of that table. You also get the last insert id using the 3rd argument of: $database->insertObject( $table, &$object, $keyName) i.e. ...

here's the 1.0 database stuff: http://help.joomla.org/content/category/12/108/125/
just saw loadRow(), loadResultArray() and many others. Use the one that suits your need -- I suppose loadRow() is more appropriate for this particular statement.

Hi, in 1.0.x it's called loadAssocList() As the name load Object List() may imply, it returns a list of objects , however in this case the list ( = array) contains a single entry (object(stdClass)) only: $rows[0]->Auto_increment You should be able to use "#__content" with setQuery(). No idea ...

Hi, JDatabase' method equivalent of mysql_fetch_assoc() is called ... fetchAssoc() ;) See more of its general interface here: m and the MySQL specific implementation there: m @ddmobley: once you use the $database object you SHOULD NOT (have a need to) use any of the native mysql_* functions. The who...

Hi, the "Filter" package has gone through several changes and your code is not the most recent and will fail (again) should you update from SVN or the next RC to come. It once was: - /filter/output,php JOutputFilter - /filter/input,php JInputFilter then became what you have now (matching...

Hi, although this has nothing to do with coding but rather site management ... In J! 1.0 the files are owned by the Apache/PHP user since it's using standard PHP file I/O functions, so yes: you must CHOWN to a "ftp-user" in order to overwrite the files or if group permissions don't match. maybe a CH...
