Having started developing multi-language components, it was important that I get a general idea as to what languages are abbreviated to. Usually I only write english files (en-GB) but it's not very international and narrow-minded to think only English speakers will use Joomla! CMS. The below is for reference only:
Basically you've woken up this morning, visited your website, and all your K2 articles are gone !!!! If you login to your Joomla! administration panel (back-end) and look under k2 items, you should get the following error: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/public_html/administrator/components/co...

Not saying that you shouldn't try their solutions but just check you haven't done this silly mistake. I'm only guessing the same error would happen i...
Following up on my article on correcting disappearing headers, a further issue with our web-report is that even an export to Excel (Data Only) from Crystal Reports 9, created extra columns. This issue could not be replicated on the client machine (ie. from my workstation). I would have to upload the report to the serve...
If you've been to the point where you're exporting a report to Excel, and only some of the column headers appear, then try this: I googled this for ages and found different suggestions here and there but none of them produced consistent results. One solution was to untick "Simplify page headers" on the Excel Format Opt...
Working principle
This site exists as a practical knowledge base built from real-world experience across systems, platforms, and technologies since 1999. Much of the content documents solutions, edge cases, and working patterns that were learned through investigation where documentation was incomplete or absent, and is shared to reduce the same friction for others.
