Hi Everybody!
My name is Joe. I like to think of myself as a web-developer but not. I've been writing websites with notepad since 1999 and I'm using this website to store notes as I go along. But then I only do it as a hobby... which can still get quite busy.
It sounds nice and straightforward... Get a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, & PHP) server setup, install Joomla CMS into your web root, and you're done... Like all talk and theory, it means nothing until you're sat there doing it.
I was recently asked, "are you not worried that just about anybody can setup a joomla site and put webdevelopers out of business?". A few days later, I'm still answering lots of Joomla! questions so I quoted this and finally answered "no I'm not".
I hope that doesn't put you off Joomla!, like every major project, it can often involve a lot more work then people think. I have friends who aren't programmers but they click a lot and that's why I know you can set a website up with just a lot of patience and willingness to learn... Not a 5-minute job.Thanks for visiting! Hopefully this website can help you too!

Invalid arguments passed in router.php on line 325
in Joomla CMS Tags: Joomla CMS Components
Thought I'd put this error in here and how I fixed it. Basically because firstly I don't want to have to create an account on someone else's forum just to post my answer and secondly because my solution is a "cowboy fix" rather than the other intelligent solutions on the web.
The issue was that I was building my first Joomla 1.5 component and getting the below error if I put in a menu:
Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /home/.../public_html/includes/router.php on line 325
Where "..." is the path on your server.
If you're writing a component, then ask yourself if you really need the router.php file. Mine was generated by "http://www.notwebdesign.com/joomla-component-creator/". I don't need one because although I rely on data submitted through the forms ($_GET array), all the submitted data on the front-end of my component is controlled and not customizable.
