I'm curious if your solution fixed flyingeagle's issue? Were you able to get it to work Tek?

I'm guessing the link didn't make it through the conversion when we moved to phpbb3. Not sure what the link is myself, but I'll see if I can find out.

What you have looks ok to me. I always get messed up when I start going back and forth trying to figure out what's passing by reference. Probably why I didn't become a career coder ;). Sounds like you've got a lead to follow. Glad to hear about what you come up with, if anything. I haven't found any...

Something I may do some research on myself. Seems to be something that a lot of people would use. I am sure someone out there has done it (a few bridges out there that work). I'll see what I can dig up.

Greetings. I do know there has been some discussion on connecting to external databases. Here's a tip on connecting to an external db:
http://dev.joomla.org/component/option, ... _database/

Not sure if it will help, but it can't hurt.

Ok. I'm not going to move this thread, specifically because you are not using a template provided by Joomla. You're going to need to contact the creator of the template and ask them about the functionality since they created it, and how best to utilize it. If you're going to try to create your own t...

I don't know much of anything about perForms. I'd try talking to the people that wrote it.

I will add you to my friend list tonight and we'll see if we can get you added.

Not sure if it's possible or not, but with a dynamic number of categories and items, it seems like it would have to be some hefty code to dynamically generate it on a sizable store. How many items are you planning on having in that menu?

Sounds like a CB question to me. You may want to check their forum first.

I'll see if I can address your questions, but first you will have to answer a few of mine so we can get you in the right place.

1. What version of Joomla are you working with?
2. What template are you working with?

These are rather key in helping you.

Ok, got your information and attempted an invite. Let me know how that works out.

Not sure about that. I'm using 3.5 myself; haven't tried the new version. Why don't you send me your Skype info and I'll add you as a contact, and then see if I can invite you to the group. It hasn't been very active as of late that I know of. We did have some initial group work going with installin...

A very interesting journey indeed. Thanks for the contribution. Look forward to seeing what other little tidbits you have to offer.

NM... thought Moodle was a Joomla extension.

You would more than likely need to create a bridge application.

so far the only way i've seen of doing this is spending hundreds on a programmer to make the module.

Probably. Nothing I know of for Joomla that has that kind of functionality.

Have you tried contacting the ext writer?

Thanks Louis. Always helps to get it 'from the source'.

The eye is very cool! I'll take a closer look at it when I get a moment and see if I can give you some feedback. I'd encourage you as well to post in the site showcase forum. You may be able to get some good critiques there as well.

Yes, that would most likely be a good way to do it. Let me know how it works out.

I believe yours is passing the value of the string, the other is passing a reference to the value.

Not a problem. There is a TON of resources for Joomla, but it does take time to really sift through things. Search can be helpful. Just learning the best way to search can be a challenge all by itself. I google most of my Joomla questions and typically find answers that way. You'd be surprised where...

Wow.. LISP... I haven't heard that name come up in ages. Goes right along with PROLOG.

As far as external DB connectivity is concerned, this may be of some help:
http://dev.joomla.org/component/option, ... _database/

Nice site. More than likely the question wasn't answered at the time because it was a template question, and this is the coding forum. I wasn't around at the time for personal reasons, so it probably was overlooked.

Sorry about that, but glad you found something that worked!

Easy is a matter of perspective. Are you a programmer? Database designer? If so, yes this can be done. Is is relatively easy? Well, I don't know if I would say creating custom components and modules 'easy'. Otherwise everyone would be doing them. It can be done, yes. If you look in extensions manage...

You can create 'collapsable' columns, that would allow you to accomplish what you are looking for. It's a mix of css and php coding. Here's a good article that details it a bit: http://www.webreference.com/authoring/style/sheets/joomla_templates3/index.html If you just want to have the same columns,...

Here's a method to connect to another db. Perhaps it will help:
http://dev.joomla.org/component/option, ... _database/

I don't know if you have to mess with the core functionality, but there is some information about connecting to an external db here:
http://dev.joomla.org/component/option, ... _database/

Not sure if it will help.

This might help you if you're trying to do some module coding:
http://dev.joomla.org/component/option, ... Itemid,32/

Correct, that is for 1.0.x
