One practical question if I can .... are any plans in place to manage the old forum URLs? They are referenced in 1000s of forum posts here and articles across the net (plus Google of course, which has 180,000 of them). Did a little testing with URLs posted on the forum on my site. URLs in the forma...

You need an echo before $mosConfig_live_site.

Hello timgerr, Are you putting this form in a component and trying to get back to the component, or are you putting it into an article and trying to get back to the article? If it's the former, setting option=com_nameofyourcomponent should do the trick. Otherwise, you will need to redirect back to t...

I'm a computer science major and I'm looking into learning/programming/installing Joomla sites, templates, and extensions. I have a few questions for anyone who has experience with freelance programming for Joomla. How much demand is there for installing sites and designing custom templates and ext...

I believe JURI::base() is what you're looking for.

There isn't any 1.0.x component development book that I'm aware of. The changes are a little too numerous to list and it really depends on what your component does. Execution still starts at components/com_yourcom/yourcom.php and administrator/components/com_yourcom/admin.yourcom.php, but that's whe...

jlleblanc

Yes, there are significant code changes between 1.0.x and 1.5.x; code written for 1.5 will not work in 1.0. The general concepts of components, modules, and plugins are still the same though.

jlleblanc

Most of the documentation effort is now going into 1.5. The 1.0.x documentation was never really complete.

If you have 'option' has a hidden variable in your form and set it to 'com_redesocialcascais', it should work. Like this:

Code: Select all

<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_redesocialcascais" />

I tried it again and it seems to work when I upload it without the FTP layer, but with writable components directories. The bizarre thing is that the FTP isn't doing it right even though I'm using username that owns all of the files in the directory. Could be an FTP configuration issue $:-\$

Thanks for pointing this out. I had it working on RC1, but when I try to install it on RC2, it's giving me a file permission error as well; it can't read the XML file. It appears that regardless of the permissions of the tmp folder and the permissions of the files in the .zip, the XML file permissio...

To handle file uploads, you want to use JFile after getting the variable through JRequest. Here's an example snippet from my iWebCal component: $file = JRequest::getVar( 'calendar', '', 'files', 'array' ); $filename = ''; if(isset($file) && is_array($file) && $file['name'] != '') { $fullfilename = J...

A copy of the Daily Message component tutorial for Joomla! 1.5 is now available at m . An installable copy of the component is available for download so you can click through as you read along. Much like the original tutorial, it takes you through a complete create, read, update, delete component al...

Yeah, you're using JTable, it's escaping them. When you save the escaped variables to the database, the extra slashes do not appear in them. The SQL string going to the database will contain them, but you won't see them in the final database listing. To get your HTML to come through, make sure that ...

jlleblanc

If your model is eventually using the store() function of JTable objects to add data to the database, it should automatically escape your variables with slashes.

jlleblanc

Wouldn't it be easier to just expand the XML schema for the installer so that you could have one XML file install more than one type of extension at a time? That is, why not have a package installer syntax that could install one or more components, modules, and plug-ins during a single admin-initia...

Joomla! already has this through search plugins. You create a search plugin to go along with your component and you define what gets returned in the results when a search is performed. hi and thanks.. the reason i ask i that i don't want to have to create a search plug in to go with my component/mo...

jlleblanc

I think the built-in Joomla search function searches only the meta data entered for articles and perhaps the article text itself. After all, that's really the only content Joomla proper manages. Other content is managed by extensions. What would seem to make sense (and is probably what you are tryi...

Excellent! I have a work in progress ready to be migrated over

(don't worry, it doesn't need to be live for a while yet)

jlleblanc

Sounds good to me... you can't count on the weather

I'd consider doing this if my todo list didn't already stretch from here to infinity

If someone wants to take it up and just needs some direction with developing components, contact me.

jlleblanc

I'm definitely coming up from DC for Joomla! Day NYC. Would also be willing to help; let me know.

jlleblanc

Using the podcasting suite, I see

Let me know if you need any help with that.

The forge is craaaaaawwwwling right now... everyone quit hitting refresh!

Is anyone going to torrent this?

The conference is only three weeks away! If anyone out there is planning on attending, email [email protected] so I can get a head count of Joomla people. If there are enough of us attending, I might be able to arrange a BOF session.

Hello everyone, We're holding an inaugural PHP conference ( m ) here in Washington, DC on October 19-20th. Our goal is to get more government agencies, non-profits, and NGOs to use PHP (on which Joomla is based) and other open source tools instead of things like ColdFusion (you'd be AMAZED at how mu...

Take it for a spin and let me know how it works out for you.

For those of you who say more time should be allotted, here's another thing to consider: how long do you think the name can honestly be kept secret once an announcement outside the core team has been made? We would hope that everyone would play nicely and keep it a secret until the official announce...
