Re: SOLVED: Storing Record from Custom Component strips tags

$data = JRequest::get('post');
$data['text'] = JRequest::getVar( 'text', '', 'post', 'string', JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW );


This is working perfectly for me. I think you shouldn't get all the post variables with ALLOWRAW unless all the fields you are using requires HTML.

Re: HOWTO? Acquiring a list of all "editors" or higher? [SOLVED]

If you want to create a select list of editors, take a look at JHTMLList class in libraries/joomla/html/html/list.php. It's much easier to use and also forward-compatible. Example code: <?php echo JHTML::_('list.users', 'added_by', 1, 0, NULL, 'name', 1); ?> P.S. You should add 'AND block = 0' to th...

instead of mysql_fetch_assoc() use this above line and then do a var_dump for $rows variable to see what it has.

In the problems window, on the upper right corner there's a button for configuring filters.

If you choose 'On any element in same project', only the errors on the current project are shown. Same thing applies for tasks.

Re: Plugin - editing body and inserting scripts

You can use JHTML::script() for files or $document->addScriptDeclaration() for including a variable that contains JS code in head. I think these two links will be useful for you:

Re: Is Joomla a good model to learn elegant OOP coding practices?

Well, I'm not a coder at all and it's not been so long since I learnt PHP. But about oop and general coding practices Joomla helped me a lot. But I'd suggest not using 1.0 but 1.5 because it's written in a more object oriented way and implements many design patterns. So v1.5 is what you are looking ...

Re: stop an onAfterDisplayContent from triggering

I think onAfter... event echoes the returned values. So instead of 'return true' just use 'return'.

I don't know much about your other problem. But logically, if it is triggered after displaying content, then $row->text can't be modified I think.

Re: how to solve if Value does not insert into database...

I don't know if you have a reason not to use Joomla api to do things about database. But that's not the question here.

I think the problem is an integer field is being tried to populate with strings. So in the query don't use '$var'. Instead, use only $var.
