RokStories has been overhauled to provide the spectacular display that you see on this demo. The module adapts depending on your image size, so no need to manually create rounded corners on your images, RokStories will do the rest.

The custom features are also available in the standalone version.

Affinity is the July 2009 release from RocketTheme and features extensive third party support for powerful and popular community products, such as JomSocial, K2 and phpBB3.

The template's core feature is Sortable Elements, which allows for the movement of modular rows, individual positions and stacks of modules

As with all Joomla articles and files, you need to check that they have been published and approved.  Sometimes you don't have to and it's all automatic, but if they're not showing:

• Check that they're in the right section and category
• Check that they have been approved and published

Applies to:

• Wordpress CMS v4.1.1

What?
A note to myself on how to create a development/test version of a production/live Wordpress CMS site.

Why?
I have a website sitting at a domain (eg. www.myexample.com), and I want to create an exact copy at a subdomain entitled "dev1" (eg. dev1.myexample.com).

How?
A quick copy from copy 1 (LIVE) to copy 2 (DEV):

This is for Joomla 1.5.x sites!
Note that this article is for Joomla 1.5.x sites to be converted to Wordpress 3.2.x sites. I started with a Joomla 1.5 as the move from Joomla 1.6 or greater is a lot easier since it uses nested categories like Wordpress.

There are lots of commercial migrators out there and they all seem to have this problem. I'm really keen not to ask all my users to have to change their passwords but that is what the commercial applications are doing.

Migrating the articles:

1. Change database name my_joomla_db to your joomla database and my_wordpress_db to your Wordpress database
2. Change http://demo.joellipman.com/wordpress/ to the full URL of your WordPress site.
3. If post_type is to be post then append with ?p= otherwise use ?page_id=.

What?
In not as many words as others, here's my MySQL query to extract details on images stored in the MediaWiki CMS system (v1.14).

Why?
Prior to a migration and just after another change freeze, I had sent all Wiki articles modified since the last export but then needed to send all images that had also been either added/modified since.

How?
Using MySQL, the following query lists the image name, size, user who uploaded, timestamp and the path. Remember that the paths are determined using the MD5 Hash of the filename:

What do I want?
Page ID, Title, Content, Category, AccessLevel (note that AccessLevel is extra to your standard MediaWiki setup and one that was customized for my day job).

Thought I already had this somewhere on my site, so it took a while again but I've posted my finished query here:

The base query to list mediawiki articles
Page ID, Title, Content, Category

	SELECT
		p.page_id AS PageID,
		CONVERT(p.page_title USING latin1) AS PageTitle,
		CONVERT(t.old_text USING latin1) AS PageContent,
		(SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(CONVERT(wikimedia_categorylinks.cl_to USING latin1)) FROM wikimedia_categorylinks WHERE wikimedia_categorylinks.cl_from=p.page_id) AS PageCategory
	FROM
		wikimedia_page p
	LEFT JOIN wikimedia_revision r ON p.page_latest=r.rev_id
	LEFT JOIN wikimedia_text t ON r.rev_text_id=t.old_id
	WHERE
		p.page_namespace=0
		AND t.old_text=''
		AND p.page_is_redirect=0
