Implementing Joomla’s Cache Callback API

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010 by Adam Docherty

It has been a mighty busy few weeks here at ‘corePHP’. We are moving forward with several new projects that you will soon be hearing a lot about.

JAutosearch is one such project that may revolutionize the way visitors utilize your website’s search functionality; about as much as I can say about JAutosearch at this time, although it will likely be released by the time you read this (or very nearly!).

Ok lets get down to some Joomla! extension tips!

Joomla MVC – Load a model from anywhere!

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010 by Adam Docherty

Hello there!

It is good to reuse functionality whenever you can. Many think that there is a 1 to 1 relationship in regards to model and view, but this is not the case. In fact, the model can be called from anywhere. This means that you can quickly hook into functionality without duplicating code, which is always a good thing! Read the rest of this entry »

Controlling Joomla! templates depending on menu you use

Thursday, August 26th, 2010 by Jonathan

We have been working on building a multi-school Joomla! website and there have been many hurdles to overcome since Joomla! isn’t a multi-site CMS. After searching for anything that’s common across each school, I realized the menu for each school could be used as a common denominator. If I could set a variable depending on which menu is loaded on the page then I can do just about anything I want, such as change the logo, set a unique CSS class, etc. After meeting with our developers we figured out how to do this and I’ll share it with all of you in case you ever need to do the same.

Setting up a Joomla! Development Environment

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010 by Dustin Clute

If you are new to web development and are interested in using Joomla!, you may have used Google to try and find info to help you out. You may have done a search for “joomla development” or “joomla development tools” and got Setting up your workstation for Joomla! development as one of the results. This explains how to set up XAMPP and Eclipse on Windows, Linux and OS X. Now this document has some extremely useful information for people looking to get started. They even state that there are many possible configurations of environments for developing for Joomla!. I’m going to talk about how I have my environment setup for web development.

Fixing permissions on your Joomla! site

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010 by Rafael Corral

I am writing this post as a tip, because I tend to use this more often than not. There is only one requirement – you must have shell access to your server.

These are the two commands to run:
find /path/to/joomla/root/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find /path/to/joomla/root/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

Replace the path “/path/to/joomla/root/” with the path to your website’s Joomla! root. It is OK to simply use the relative path.

The first line will change the permissions for all folders to 755 and the second one will change the permissions of all files to 644.

One last thing to know about this – and this is just my experience from working with servers that are running cPanel/WHM – normally, these servers have the root of your Joomla site located under a folder called “public_html”. When you run the command for directories, you need to do something like this for the path: “public_html/*” (note the asterisk).

Anyway, enjoy!

PayToUpgrade / Community ACL

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010 by Michael Pignataro

Community ACL has been providing a robust and very flexible permissions systems based on groups, roles, and functions for Joomla 1.5 for some time. While it hits every need required by administrators who want to control access to their site, it’s a manual process to give each user permissions. Some site-owners would simply love to let users automatically pay to join these groups, creating a subscription site or pay-to-access features. That’s where SourceCoast’s newest component, PayToUpgrade, comes in.
