It took a few google searches until I could find out how to change the default weblinks order.  A lot of websites showed how to do this via the admin back-end panel in the advanced configuration... I can't see this panel, there is no advanced parameters under a weblinks category.

The issue is that suppose a menuitem links to a category of weblinks, the default sort order (as in the first time you view the page) is the order in the admin panel (not even by most recent).  I'm going to show you how to do this by title in ascending order without installing any 3rd-party extension as well as by any of the database values used by each link.

 The issue here is that you have added all your banners, divided between clients and categories and you're looking for a solution which doesn't involve installing a 3rd party applicatoin.

 Unfortunately the Joomla banner module only supports alternating between banners of either the same client OR the same category.  The setting is in your Joomla > Module Manager > Banner... What I do is I don't select a client but instead just select a category.  Set it to only display 1 banner at a time.  

If you want other categories to display, consider setting categories as vertical, horizontal and square banners.  This means that you can have 3 modules each displaying banners from each category and position these as appropriate.


 This is related to the issue of renaming yourdomain.com as your title page in phpBB3.  

 

You need to login to the phpBB admin control panel (ACP).  On the General tab, look under Board Configuration and click on 'Board Settings'.  The Site name is the first field in the right panel.


"OK this should take just a few minutes..."

I've written this because I spent all night on setting up a "quick" demo resulting in a quick 1 hour nap before having to go to my day job...  It sounds straight forward because both phpBB3 and RocketTheme talk about how to install the RocketTheme templates...  But it's not.  I'm rewriting their instructions here so that I can I do this on other websites:

Important Note:  On Linux (Apache), all file names and folder names are case-sensitive, so phpbb3 is NOT the same as phpBB3.  Bear this in mind during the installation process.

 


The Issue

Basically that you've installed JoomlaEZ's ReCaptcha Integrator plugin to protect your forms ("type two words" captcha) and then installed K2 Comments to use it's own ReCaptcha.  If you try adding a comment, you may get something like the following:

copyraw
Fatal error:
Cannot redeclare_recaptcha_qsencode() (
     previously declared in /public_html/plugins/system/jezReCaptcha/recaptcha-php-1.10/recaptchalib.php:47
)
in /public_html/components/com_k2/lib/recaptchalib.php on line 67
  1.  Fatal error: 
  2.  Cannot redeclare_recaptcha_qsencode() ( 
  3.       previously declared in /public_html/plugins/system/jezReCaptcha/recaptcha-php-1.10/recaptchalib.php:47 
  4.  ) 
  5.  in /public_html/components/com_k2/lib/recaptchalib.php on line 67 

I've managed to fix this in my site. Because you already force the recaptcha feature in your registration form and contact form (on this website I just went recaptcha-happy), then there are some settings you need to change in the plugin options:

  • Inclusion Syntax = NO
  • Auto-verify =YES

 

Update 16.NOV.2009

I don't see this supported anymore so I wouldn't recommend using the JezRecaptcha plugin.  In fact I'm not impressed with Recaptcha as it's sound alternative doesn't work and the text form is hackable.

I will be changing this over throughout the site... I may keep recaptcha for the comments feature on K2 articles but it should be considered low security.

It's been difficult to find an easy solution to hide menu items from registered users. Finally, I found a solution that works 100% for me using the MetaMod tool without using any template hacks. The instructions on the metamod page are very vague so I wanted to make it bit more in-depth for this specific use. I'd love to hear if this helps you. Let me know if you find any mistakes and I'll be sure to fix asap.

 


This is what I had to do to be able to add another template to the dropdown in the Kunena configuration panel:

  1. Download your site from your server to a copy on your local disk (hard disk, flash drive, etc)
  2. Make sure that the \components\com_kunena\template folder is on your local disk
  3. Make a copy of the default folder inside
  4. Rename this to the name of your new template (avoid any spaces)
  5. Download the new template for the Kunena forum
 
This is what the official Kunena documentation says:
 
Installing another Template
  1. Download the Template package.
  2. Open your FTP Connection and go to \components\com_kunena\template\
  3. Extract the folder "Template Name" into this directory ^
  4. If in the package the folder "lib" contains, extract the files in the directory \components\com_kunena\lib\

Update for Joomla 2.5.x
Note that Joomla versions 1.6 upwards include this as an option in the global configuration settings which you can access using your Joomla admin panel:
  1. Template Manager
  2. Options
  3. Preview Module Positions -> Disabled or Enabled
You will still need to suffix the frontend URL with ?tp=1


Joomla 1.5.x

 This is another feature which took me a few years to notice in Joomla.  If you've ever installed a template for Joomla and spent hours working out where or how you are going to put what where, try adding ?tp=1 after your index.php url (ie. http://www.yourdomain.com/?tp=1)

If this doesn't work for you try this:

  1. Log in to the backend of your website (into the Joomla Admin Panel)
  2. Go to Extensions > Template Manager > select your template
  3. Click on the big Preview button in the top right
  4. Click on the link 'Show in New Window'
  5. Bookmark the web address of the new window

The bookmark/favorite that you have just made can be refreshed when you change things on your site and should reflect exactly how your website is overlayed with the module positions.  You will need to repeat the process when you select a different template but otherwise the bookmark will last as long as you keep that template.


The Issue

Basically that after upgrading Joomla, my TinyMCE WYSIWYG (What-you-see-is-what-you-get) editor halved its number of buttons and I couldn't add code snippets... 

The Fix

Just installed JoomlaFCK WYSIWYG Editor, an editor I use with my day job's MediaWiki software and it's pretty amazing.  Incredibly cross-browser compatible with some MS Office 2007 styling and fortunately maintains it's previous button layout.  The features such as full-screen editing, emoticons, and pasting from MS Word documents make it the best in the market IMO.

Joomla FCK Editor

You can download it for free from http://www.joomlafckeditor.com/ but you will need to register on their site first.
