Hi,
We need someone (preferably in the Melbourne area) - definitely not overseas! - who has experience using K2 and can help us:
- setup a paid listings directory
- help customise layout
- install k2 plugins

We are on a tight time frame, and would need someone to work with us over the coming week.
Any takers?
Please email me directly at __KRN__ This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it__KRN__ with your experience and availability.

In a HTML module I've a number of titles linking to articles (added the link with JCE)

When I click on the hyperlink - the article comes up BUT with a top heading of Article.

I've looked everywhere to remove this - it's not in the article, it's not in the Category and I've turned ALL buttons with show on them in Articles - Options

Does anyone know the location of the secret button to turn of "Article"?

I totally agree. I've been using the Joomlamailer mailchimp integration extension for a few months now, and it is fantastic.

I also hacked/improved it a bit to allow my site to have a two page signup process. Essentially the first page the user enters their name and email address and gets subscribed to my list, this way they don't get scared away by a long form. On the second page it asks additional questions such as which products they are interested in, and although the second page is optional almost everyone fills this in too and it all gets saved to my mailchimp account.

Hi Max,

I do use Firebug and it's great but in this instance the search module image is called by some php from another file somewhere.

When you edit the search module in Joomla 2.5 you can select whether to use an image for the search button. When you do this the little tool tip tells you to save the image as 'searchButton.gif' in your images folder in your template.

All that aspect is easy enough, I just want to make the php call for the image to be 'searchButton.png', rather than a gif.

I hope that makes sense

Cheers,
Neil.

Hello,

I would like to make the Search Module button a png file rather than a gif as gifs have the rough edges to them.

Ideally I would like to update the actual call that tries to locate 'searchButton.gif' to 'searchButton.png'.

I have tried to fix this but nothing has worked for me so far. Can anyone help me out on this one please.

Many thanks,
Neil.

Nice work Shane... however.

When you say "publicly accessible folder"... how do you mean?
Yes someone can access the configuration.php file (like virtually all other files of Joomla), however with the correct permissions in place and the correct php, they can't "do" anything with the information.

It's not like you can actually see any of the information.

I've always been fascinated by the lengths some will go to "hide" what is effectively already hidden.

Looking forward to discussing this further.

Just wanted to give a quick plug for both MailChimp and this component.
I've just started using them together... and just WOW.
Seemless integration, professional reports... and for many accounts, totally free.

Check them out


P.S. No I'm not being paid to say this.

I never use the Joomla core contacts. Rather I build a contact form, then place it within an article.
This way at least the article contents (address, phone number etc) can be edited by the site admin from the frontend.

Really looking forward to this.

Well I went to upgrade Admin Tools and found the issue as it would not upgrade and when I went to check the directory permissions under Help > System Info > Directory Permissions (Joomla 1.5.25) everything is Unwritable.

Hi,

I've recently uploaded a site to a server of my clients choosing and I have noticed that all of the Directory Permission are unwritable, but I can see through Admin Tools that they are set correctly to folders (755) and files (644).

Could someone please explain why they remain unwritable despite the permissions set? I've looked through various forums but am a little confused and not quite sure what to ask the host to do. I know that they don't have suphp on the server which can help.

Appreciate anyone's advice.

Thanks Russell,

I think Phoca Download looked like it was going to be the best option for me and it has a setting to be emailed when a user downloads a file.

mowana,

A url for the page to go troubleshoot for you would be helpful.

Depending on the issue, it may be that the folder location is not correct for the display url vs the file location url.

You're also more likely to find a response by posting to the phoca gallery forum.
