Just a warning for anyone who follows the link - it takes about 3 weeks to load in your browser and requires about 5GB of ram - as all 250 tools are on one page. Actual stats: 100.2 seconds to load, 809kB of text. Look at the total page load - phenomenal - absolutely phenomenal. Total HTTP Requests:...

Even for J! v 1.5? I realize it does so in v 1.0.x but it seems like v 1.5 might be different. Otherwise, we would continue to need to check if were published, or else it would go ahead and run simply because it was installed. Nice to see you, Dean, and I appreciate your response, always. Amy :) Hi...

Just to clarify one point - mambots/plugins are executed even when unpublished
to allow the module - where necessary - to remove the { ... } mambot tag so
as to tidy up display.

I know next to nothing about debugging PHP interactively - but my guess is that without any breakpoints set your script runs and completes successfully - giving an 'exit code' of zero - which is usually good. To set a breakpoint - in most IDEs - click (or doubleclick) in the left margin alongside a ...

This debug code has been removed from the SVN (latest development version) of Joomla.

Hi, I think the problem is the arrow notation you are using. Are you coming from a Perl background by any chance? This is probably nearer the mark - though undoubtedly not perfect. $lists[$i]['text'] = htmlspecialchars( $row['post_subject'] ); I'm not sure whether your $row is an associative array (...

It looks from your previous comments like you are using Joomla 1.0.x This forum is aiming - I think - at the Joomla 1.5 branch. One other method that will work with Joomla 1.0.x is to link to index2.php rather than index.php this should output just the components output without any superfluous forma...

Thanks Robin - you are a star - I'm sure I must have mentioned that.

My project is:
Amazon Products Feed Bridge (APF_Bridge).

I'll take any assistance I can get in the way of 'how to proceed'.

Cheers

Dean

DeanMarshall

Okay mate that worked fine.
Thanks a lot Robin.

Now - can you point me to info on how to 'claim' a project or transfer one over from the old forge.

Dean

DeanMarshall

Hi Rob, Yeah - I got the e-mail and I clicked the link - and it said I just needed to login to finish the process. I think this is my problem: m Uppercase letters in the username - is this still an issue. My username has/had a leading character in upper case. Is it easiest to just create another use...

DeanMarshall

Well - I'm not often one for a 'me too' post - but 'me too'. I just created my account and clicked on the link in the registration confirmation e-mail. The screen then gave what I presume is the usual message - to complete registration you must now login. When I try to use my shiny new login account...

The component is indeed a Joomla component - but it is a commercial component. Mosets Tree m Further it is not to be regarded as a complete component in and of itself. If I remember correctly the authors intend it to be a platform upon which you will customise, tweak and hack to work the way you int...

Hi guys, I just want to rant for a moment about the dangers of leaving sensitive data lying around. I don't have access to the mods forum anymore so thought I would just raise this issue in the public forums. Not sure whether here is the most appropriate area or if the security forum would be ...

Hi Brad,

I do indeed have e-mail options set for new PM - but my inbox keeps filling up
and it is only when someone stops by my site and sends me a message to
inform me, that I can do anything about it.

Dean

DeanMarshall

Hi guys,

Is there any way that the PM system could send out a warning e-mail when the
inbox is full, or near full - either in total disk space used or absolute number of messages.

Or how about a javascript popup/alert similar to the 'new personal message' alert.

I always stress that Open Source is free as in freedom rather than free as in gratis (no charge) . Once you start dictating 'standard fees' and percentages then you lose both of the above, and the loss of the former = the end of Open. If you want you could start a foundation and charge graduat...

DeanMarshall

I don't mind them, I think that they blend in well with the overall look of the site. They are 'above the fold' and full width so fairly intrusive, but hey there is no point in showing ads if you don't want anyone to see them. I just hope that they can fine tune the ads being shown. Unless they get ...

DeanMarshall

I wonder whether this could be related to the tweak Brad made to the index used when searching. I reported at the time that the site felt a little slower afterwards. The number of simultaeneous connections is probably caused by the number of sloooow loading pages and people hitting refresh on failur...

DeanMarshall

I agree search seems better - but on a purely qualitative level (ie no data to back it up) the forum as a whole feels a little sluggish - of course this could just be me imagining things or it could be my connection.

Dean.

DeanMarshall

Hi Brad, For searches have results it feels faster - although a sample size of 4 is by no means statistsically 'significant'. But, (you knew there was going to be a but - right) searches with no results - where no matches exist - still tell the enquirer to be more specific, whereas the message shoul...

DeanMarshall

I've got to admit I have hit the occassional frustration with the forum search. I think that there is one slight issue: a search that returns no results tells you to be more specific. It should actually tell you to be less specific or more general. Here is one example: Search for: MySQL match all wo...

Hi Ken,

Fantastic work as ever.

Demo site for APF Bridge (Beta) - (Amazon store component)
http://www.deanmarshall.co.uk/component ... Itemid,83/
It is a very basic (out of the box) installation.

There are comprehensive docs in the zip (text files) but I will work on putting them online and will let you know the details.

Dean Marshall.

DeanMarshall

Correct me if I am wrong but *ALL* of these Joomla sites ARE using Joomla. Often modified, for example 'bridging' with other scripts, and utilising custom - even commercial SEF solutions, but Joomla none the less. I think each sub-domain is a separate Joomla installation. As far as I can tell though...

I thought Mambo and Joomla are created by the same people and they were merging into one so they are really 2 different entities ? guess i'll have to do some searching to get the full story, Announcement of 'Mambo Foundation' - m See the whole sorry story unfold here (56 pages) - m Open letter to c...

DeanMarshall

Hi Warmac, I believe Joomla is a 'westernised phonetic spelling' of a word that means variously 'all together', come together, sentence, paragraph, unite - essentially there seems to be some common root implying collecting or organising. Joomla is produced by the same team that produced the award wi...

You need to be a forge member to be able to post in the forge discussion area when the discussion is set at it's lowest level of permission - no anonymous postings possible from what I can see. But, you don't have to be a member of the project. Defaults are, and should be set high first, then loose...

Hi, I have a project in the Forge, and I placed a message inviting comment etc in the discussion section. Today I was just looking through the forge and noticed that there are no reply or new message buttons unless I am logged in. Is this correct, or am I missing a trick? Can end users who are looki...

Hi Chary, Sorry, I should have posted back. In total I made four attempts. Two during the problem period - which obviously didn't work. Then the one from which I didn't receive the confirmation e-mail. As I seem to be the only one with the problem - I assumed it was just one of those spurious happen...

DeanMarshall

I don't know if this is just me - I tried again about half an hour ago, and I am not receiving the confirmation e-mail. What do I do now? I could try with a different username, but i don't want to bombard the system with spammy accounts. If it is just me - then I will just try again. If anyone...
