Thought I'd put this down as it took me ages to search the Internet for this solution.  In the end, I found it hidden away in the Autohotkey help file and not under the gui events...

The issue here is if you want to do something when a user resizes your program. 

If you search and search, you'll find that GuiClose responds to when you close the app, and GuiSize will run when you resize the app.


 By adding the following line to your LocalSettings.php file, you will be able to log everything that WikiMedia does:

$wgDebugLogFile = '/home/username/public_html/wikidir/logfile';

IMPORTANT NOTE: The path above should be the exact full path to the wiki directory under your account.


 The issue here is that you have added all your banners, divided between clients and categories and you're looking for a solution which doesn't involve installing a 3rd party applicatoin.

 Unfortunately the Joomla banner module only supports alternating between banners of either the same client OR the same category.  The setting is in your Joomla > Module Manager > Banner... What I do is I don't select a client but instead just select a category.  Set it to only display 1 banner at a time.  

If you want other categories to display, consider setting categories as vertical, horizontal and square banners.  This means that you can have 3 modules each displaying banners from each category and position these as appropriate.


 Thought I'd put a note about this as I spent ages rewriting an entire system.  The HTTP_REFERER environment variable can be changed by the user anyway but I was using it as an additional validation check.

The only solution is to not use it for verification purposes as it will only work in every other browser except Internet Explorer (more specifically versions 6 and 7...???)

This took me a whole afternoon and involved a lot of hope as I browsed the Internet and no one seemed to have done this before.  Fortunately, MediaWiki extensions are easier to write than Joomla CMS ones :c)

This article shows you how to get your MediaWiki system to display your Camtasia Studio SWF files in it's articles.

Why Camtasia when there are other free options?

We tried lots of FLV players that were usually branded or not free.  These were awkward to configure a full screen button on the controls and do basic customization.  Our screen recorder was also not displaying the captions of the video unless it was an AVI file that we converted to FLV.  The quality was horrible.  Then we moved to Camtasia Studio where their videos were displaying in good quality but as SWF files.  This extension includes the default settings for "ExpressShow" in Camtasia Studio.


The Error: This file contains HTML or script code that may be erroneously interpreted by a web browser

This is a common error when uploading files that the MediaWiki system does not allow.  By making some minor changes to the MediaWiki LocalSettings.php file, we can fix this.

For demo purposes, I'm going to make our system recognize SWF files (by default these are disallowed):


 This is related to the issue of renaming yourdomain.com as your title page in phpBB3.  

 

You need to login to the phpBB admin control panel (ACP).  On the General tab, look under Board Configuration and click on 'Board Settings'.  The Site name is the first field in the right panel.


What?

I saw this article and rather than bookmark it I thought I could just have it here for easy reference.  It was written for Photoshop but I use Paint Shop Pro and felt I could do the same.  It's just so complicated in Photoshop when web-developers need to be able to run several programs at the same time and simplicity is king.

In PaintShop Pro you would simply:


How?

"OK this should take just a few minutes..."

I've written this because I spent all night on setting up a "quick" demo resulting in a quick 1 hour nap before having to go to my day job...  It sounds straight forward because both phpBB3 and RocketTheme talk about how to install the RocketTheme templates...  But it's not.  I'm rewriting their instructions here so that I can I do this on other websites:

Important Note:  On Linux (Apache), all file names and folder names are case-sensitive, so phpbb3 is NOT the same as phpBB3.  Bear this in mind during the installation process.

 


This happened to a m8s website in VirtueMart 1.1.3. The issue here was that although all the prices lost their float/decimal and were rounded up to the nearest integer...  

At first we thought this was due to installing a Virtuemart UK Credit Card Payment Module (vm-ukcreditcard). A lot of forums were suggesting to change the number_format to convert any number to a currency or two decimal places. Another suggestion was to alter the main virtuemart database table (jos_vm_prodcut_price)...

Don't do any of these things!

After modifying tax rates and ensuring these were all the same, we also found that this was due to a country not being specified under the Store configuration within VirtueMart.


The Issue

Basically that you've installed JoomlaEZ's ReCaptcha Integrator plugin to protect your forms ("type two words" captcha) and then installed K2 Comments to use it's own ReCaptcha.  If you try adding a comment, you may get something like the following:

copyraw
Fatal error:
Cannot redeclare_recaptcha_qsencode() (
     previously declared in /public_html/plugins/system/jezReCaptcha/recaptcha-php-1.10/recaptchalib.php:47
)
in /public_html/components/com_k2/lib/recaptchalib.php on line 67
  1.  Fatal error: 
  2.  Cannot redeclare_recaptcha_qsencode() ( 
  3.       previously declared in /public_html/plugins/system/jezReCaptcha/recaptcha-php-1.10/recaptchalib.php:47 
  4.  ) 
  5.  in /public_html/components/com_k2/lib/recaptchalib.php on line 67 

I've managed to fix this in my site. Because you already force the recaptcha feature in your registration form and contact form (on this website I just went recaptcha-happy), then there are some settings you need to change in the plugin options:

  • Inclusion Syntax = NO
  • Auto-verify =YES

 

Update 16.NOV.2009

I don't see this supported anymore so I wouldn't recommend using the JezRecaptcha plugin.  In fact I'm not impressed with Recaptcha as it's sound alternative doesn't work and the text form is hackable.

I will be changing this over throughout the site... I may keep recaptcha for the comments feature on K2 articles but it should be considered low security.
