- Joomla! Everything for Everyone
Assuming you're already having a Joomla! site up and running. Hey, it's no big deal for many to click few buttons in their hosting panel and Voila! the Joomla! website has been automatically put in place by a Fantastico script.
But what are you gonna do when it dawns on you that:
But what are you gonna do when it dawns on you that:
- The template is so... common. Your site's looks won't stand above the average.
- That groovy AJAX web2.something extension won't play the way you wanting. Or...
- You messed up some ancient good serving extensions with the latest automated upgrade of your Joomla!
- First: take a few minutes tour of our Joomla!People sites so you get the feeling about who we are and what we're doing for a living.
- Second: Ask your questions in our JP community forums.
- Third: If you're so satisfied with our service response and quality that you can't help yourself, then subscribe to one of our Joomla!People packs. Trust me, it will save you time and money for good added value servicing.
Considering you liked the late century so much (remember the flashing fonts or animated gifs) that you don't have a Joomla! website YET. Finally, the candy competing websites (owned by other providers in your business field) stirred enough envy thoughout your brain's backgrounds to determine you make the move: dumping THE old school Dreamweaver hard coded, proprietary/tributary, non maintainable, HTML static site of yours, dump IT right away!

Yes, running an online business is not JUST everything about template design, images slimming and fitting, links optimizing SEO-wise, content creation and management, feedback contact forms, e-commerce, shopping carts, communities, socio-nets, twitting, digging, flashing, youtubbing, googling or blah-ing...
It's ultimately turning down to the infrastructure, to the hardware (enhanced security servers cluster) and software elements burried deep inside the LAMP web hosting ecosystem (where LAMP goes for Linux Apache MySQL PHP)... Then what would be a Volkswagen without the marvel of the Autobahn.
And what's a Joomla! without web hosting excellence for Free... (go click this link to read what you get for the cents).
Here comes the (*)asterisk note, in same font size as the GRAND offer above:
IF and only IF you've taken your Volkswagen (Joomla! is the e.Volkswagen, remember?) from our service labs, then you may ride it TOLL FREE for three months time!

Well, that's a statement to stay in the e-universe, of course...

Virtuemart not Showing Category Tree when Adding New Product
Written by Georg
There's a problem in Virtuemart 1.1.5 when your shop is having over 200 categories: once you go to add a new product to the store, using the backend interface and not the mass importer, then you won't be able to select any category for this new product. This is not a bug but a limitation.

Small Hacks
Last week, one client of ours launched an online shop where anyone of us, men, would love to invest some money, buying at least one of the nostalgic and children cherrished products. The site in cause is modellbiler.no, meaning cars model kits in Norwegian.

What's up in the Joomla World
Erik made me an account at Manymoon. Needed to join him in the bugfix follow up tedious process with an important client. So we get together, all three, in that Manymoon online cubicle. It worked very nice, genuine integration with Google Apps, even if not everyone of the project participants is happy Gmailer, like us.

If you plan to redistribute your translation, review the terms of the license. To use the core kunena code for your translation for redistribution, you must adhere to the terms of the license.
Name the file kunena_version_language_translation.zip. For example, kunena_1.08_english_translation.zip
Create the following files and include appropriate content:
README.txt
LICENSE.txt
Create the following folder structure for your files:
administrator/components/com_kunena/language Place kunena.yourlanguage.php here
components/com_kunena/template/default_ex/images Place the yourlanguage folder here,
containing at minumum, the icons folder.

Yes, not that those stuck in airports or on the autobahn would appreciate this blog too much. But our calendars are indicating March the 1st and that's already a spell of hope... Oh, maybe this term is deprecated, then the spirit of sping, there you go!
Some little robot, named Spirit, very popular on our planet, got stuck on planet Mars, for months, and this not because of snows, though there are puddles on Mars. Okay, let's not veer too much, shall we? Springtime is here! Spirit (the rover) sent us some high resolution pictures (where "us" means NASA.JPL as the "root" and anyone else from the public as "subdirs"). Take a moment to see

Tips on Mass Uploading Inventory in Virtuemart with CSVi
Written by Georg
Don't get scared, we're not gonna reproduce some online manual at hand. The tips listed below are coming from our hands-on experience with one or more customers. Joomla and VirtueMart is serving their online business sales and CSVi is the component that's making their mass data uploads a breeze.
Some lil things:
1. The [excel].xls file must be properly converted into csv and NO "$" sign in the price cells, because the mySQL data base requires numerical data in the price field.

In Joomla the SEF Still Needs a Menu, Here's How to Hide It!
Written by Georg
Consider the following scenario: your client wants a very simple, and fast loading, Joomla site. In fact the client's paying for a Content Management Site solution, where he can go in and edit his texts. He couldn't care less if it's a Joomla, a WordPress or a Drupal, he (or she) needs a CMS delivery from your part. So far so good. But the client has a headache understanding the backend "other" site, the /administrator area... No problem! You simply create a new menu item link to the user default login layout page. Then the client may ponder she does not wants the login link visible on her site, because she is not considering collecting new user registrations. The login link should be only for her personal management purposes. Then you handle her this relative URL:

Another old and repeated saga: the simple dictionary passwords users cannot care less about. Comes yesterday, Sunday evening news on RTL. A short instructive survey indicates that the most used password is "123456" or... "password" - yes!, the word "password". And I thought that was a "Naked Gun" parody series gag by Leslie Nielsen... Turns out that reality is often times worse than parody. You may do a google for the string: "most used passwords" in order to discover more attrocious variations of reality.

It's an important aspect of web development to have humane friendly, and googlebot friendly for that matter. Joomla 1.5 and later is having a core SEF setting. There's also the very well know sh404SEF third party component with so many extended features for the picky ones. No news to Joomla people, right? Right!
