Re: $_POST vs. 'post'

The correct way to do what you are wanting to do is: $this->assign( 'name', JRequest::getVar( 'name','', 'post', 'string') ); http://api.joomla.org/Joomla-Framework/Application/JView.html#assign You cannot assign a value by reference... you may only assign a reference by reference.

Re: What happened to the forum today???

Just as a point of clarity RokBridge is actually a concerted effort by core developers and even project managers for Joomla! and phpBB. While the vast majority of the work was done by Johan on the development front, both projects worked together to help make this possible and in the end both code ba...

Re: At the risk of looking totally silly

tjay,

the string "Array" is what is output when you print/echo an array variable in PHP.  If you want to see the contents of the array try doing,

Code: Select all

var_dump($variable);


or

Code: Select all

print_r($variable);


You may be surprised what you get.

Its not so much a problem as you just have no set the keyword properties for the file. svn propset svn:keywords "Id" path/to/my/file.ini Setting the keywords properties on the file will cause the SVN server to automagically mark those places in the source file. then obviousy once you have set the pr...

Re: OSM =>> Melbourne Suspended Page?

The OSM site is not hacked.

This is the offline page as we are still going through everything bit by bit to make sure the servers are ok.

There are a number of subdomains that will be offline for the next few days as we make sure everything is secure and stable.

Re: How do I getView() or tell If I am at the home page

Try something like:

Code: Select all

<?php
$menu = &JMenu::getInstance();
if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) {
  // The default menu item is the active one .... otherwise said, we are on the front page of the site
}


Something like that should get it done.
