Ohh now this is good stuff, Amy! I hope you don't mind if I copy (and tweak of course) this outline... When I start a Joomla conversion project, I always start with the old-skool site map. From there, I break down what is content, and what is a functional requirement. I find that this approach is ea...

I'm afraid I'm just guessing here (I don't have any experience with multi-lingual Joomla installs), but could this be related to your database's charset?

Nicole, I couldn't fix the template so I contacted joomlashack who created it. They couldn't fix it either so they are going to donate a new IE7 compatible template for outpostforhope.org. We have had fantastic support from joomlashack always, and this is another amazing development from thei...

Hi All, www.ExpatPetFinder.com This is a free site mainly based in the UAE (although it may spread out of there) for pets and animals that are lost/found/need a new home. It's a personal project and has been "launched" for about a week. The reception has been tremendous and I'm really g...

Have you implemented a widget on your site? I can't get one to work for the life of me. I drop the code into the HTML editor, publish the item, and then nothing shows up. If I go back into the item the HTML editor deletes all of the code. Help! Thanks! Dan Hi, Dan ~ The trick is to turn off your WY...

Good luck (that IE box model is the most frustrating thing!) and let me know if you'd like an updated screen shot.

Oh, and that Project Fork is turning out to be pretty useful for tracking tasks and projects! Thanks for turning me on to it!

Have a great weekend,
Nicole

Ahhhh the users do love to do write their text and format it 10 ways from Sunday in Word, don't they? Best of luck breaking down that barrier! ;0) Anyway, I totally understand the ownership thing (no pun intended). I work in high ed and if there's one place where people really take ownership of thei...

Congratulations on the new site! The Video Tour is really cool! Here's my two cents on potential improvements: - I would give that Glimpses of the Past random photo module a bit more prominence on the site. Maybe make it a little bigger or a new module position would help. - I'm a little confused by...

Bummer, I thought we had resolved the IE issues Can you tell me what pages are coming up with the width issue pls? This has been an ongoing problem and it seems to pop up in the most unexpected places. Hi - Unfortunately, it looks like all the pages are displaying this way. I've posted a screen sho...

nniiccoollee

Unfortunately, that's the extent of my suggestions..... If I were you, I'd find out what email client they're using and send the client instructions for adding an email address to a whitelist. As web developers, we can only control so much of the end user's settings, and it sounds like you're covere...

nniiccoollee

Most all email clients have a way to designate an email sender as "safe" or "not spam". Adding an email sender to this list is called whitelisting.

You mentioned that your recipients may have their emails blocked by Verizon. What does that mean? Verizon is their ISP?

nniiccoollee

Hi, Inelia ~ I think you've got a great-looking site here, but I did want to suggest that you check it out in IE7 (I know - BOOOOO!). There seems to be a width issue, and the template is expanding beyond the header and footer corner graphics. How is ProjectFork working out for you? I hadn't heard of...

nniiccoollee

Hi, Chad ~

You may need to suggest that users whitelist your email addresses so they can go through.

Also, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Verizon IS blocking your messages. See http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/27/us/27verizon.html

Good luck!

Hi there ~ I've converted several sites to Joomla from static, and the simplest answer for me was to copy/paste in my old content. Of course, the tricky part is to first map your existing content to Joomla sections and categories. You might also try the Mass Content extenion. I haven't actually used...

... Are you still using the Ajax header rotator? I didn't see it..... Nicole Well spotted. No, we took it out as we had it on the left column and we decided to move everything out of there to give the main content more impact. Then we found that there was nowhere we could place it that would not ta...

Hi there ~ Although they may not be labelled as surveys, you could always cull through the Forms category of Joomla extensions at m Another option might be a bit of a cheat, but it's worked for me before.... Go to m, find a survey widget that will work for you. Then, create an account/widget, and wh...

Nicely done site! I really like how the home page gives all its focus to a video explaining the project.

Hello, This website i made for a Dutch Political movement called "Piratenpartij Nederland" Was a bit tricky to integrate a smf forum and community builder both into Joomla. But worked out ok i think, would like to hear what you think about this (nearly finished) site. http://www.piratenpartij.nl I ...

Those are all excellent pieces, Nicole! It is so very encouraging to hear from an "old timer" who still has such enthusiasm for Joomla!. I would love to see us get a University Joomla! User Group started. I know we could benefit from discussing our work. One area in particular would be to collabora...

We've been using Joomla/Mambo for our sports site since 2004. See m Our sports information director loves Joomla and the flexibility it gives him. I've also used Joomla for our alumni magazine at m and our virtual tour m and I'm going live with our new campus news site this week. I really like Jooml...

No wonder you're having trouble; trying to develop a web site on a dial-up connection must be quite tedious and slow... 1. Do you have a graphic you want to use for the organization name? The original template had the site name at the very top of the page, so if you replace that graphic (named logo....

nniiccoollee

Hi again... Ok, I think I can help in a couple of ways here; first, if you already have your header graphic, but just need it modified to fit the template, you can email it to nrhoads@atfirstsitedesign.com as an attachment. I can then download a copy of the template, recreate/modify your existing he...

nniiccoollee

Hiya ~

Are you new to Joomla too or just looking for new template ideas? Also in your post, you mentioned a site who's design you do like, but didn't send the link. Did I misunderstand?

Just to get you started, you might take a look at one of the many Joomla template sites (like http://www.themesbase.com/?category=Joomla )

I have the template I want but we need a header graphic that fits. We know the colors and feel we want. ... In a nutshell: we need a header graphic (simple, colors already picked out) and we need to put that header in the template we've downloaded. I feel like the village idiot. I'm so used to "fig...

Hi, Chris ~ Do you happen to have a mockup of the site you're envisioning? What's the non-profit? Also, have you checked out m or similiar template site for a starting point? If you pick a template from which to start, you might get a few more takers on helping to customize the template. nniiccoollee

nniiccoollee

Happy to help, and yes, your site's looking much better with the resized header. The text is displaying as left-aligned too. Ok, so to fix your header, I've got a suggestion. After downloading and disecting the original template, I've determined that your header graphic is displayed inside a table, ...

nniiccoollee

Hey there - Is this a template you created or one you downloaded? It looks like your header image is too wide to accomodate your menu width. It also looks like you've got some modules in your template above the header graphic. I might also suggest that centered text is hard to read on-screen, so you...
