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!

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

You installed latest extensions, followed the recommendations on Joomla security checklist, locked won your config file - so you can leave your site alone - you're safe!
Wrong. You must check at least one additional resource. Even most of the security-consciuscious Joomla webmasters aren't knowing the existence of this list, maintained at Joomla docs site. There are listed all components with known security problems (present and past versions!), and very important to know, the items once appeared on the list aren't removed when the problem is fixed, because large majority of Joomla webmasters aren't upgrading their site as new versions are coming out for the addons used. So worth checking, even if the components you use are listed on GREEN - aka fixed -, you may run in trouble, because hackers are knowing the list (not as the lazy Joomla webmasters out there) - and are proactively seeking Joomla sites using the unsecure addons. So you will become easily a target even if you have the secure version...

K2 comes as the Drupal-like content constructor kit for Joomla. A long awaited feature that, some say, will get in the core of next Joomla v.1.6...
But when you install K2 by the book, together with the All Videos plugin and the Simple Image Gallery plugin [both by the same excellent Greek creator] you'll notice that the respective Image Gallery tab in the Item creation interface is either empty or returning an error message. Here's what to do:
1. SFTP in to these paths:
admnistrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php
admnistrator/components/com_k2/views/info/tmpl/default.php
admnistrator/components/com_k2/views/item/view,html.php
components/com_k2/models/item.php components/com_k2/models/item/view.html.php
and change all jw_sig or jw_sigpro > jwsig
If still getting a void, then:
2. Disable the JCE or TinyMCE wysiwyg editors, set it to 'no editor'.
If nothing happens, then:
3. Give us a line.
Enjoy K2!

Saturday morning. Crossing the midnight with a finger on Slashdot feeds. After breakfast had to watch "Lissy und der wilde Kaiser". Had to? Yes, could not help myself. Then back to see why the Trac install for webverksted.no, which I did before breakfast, right after dawn, has some login ssh configs to go before giving Erik and Aleks a free way into sharing and versioning tons of files, and projects.
Gotta blog some here on JP while the ladies in house finish the cleaning and some broccoli green stuff.
We're set to launch JP anew this weekend. It's about time. So watch this blog: I'll be back.

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!
