For this post to have a meaning, you have to read the A method to repair a crippled Joomla! installation
A joomla! 1.5 installation does not differ much from a 1.0 installation (for a non-programmer’s eye, the programming model is totally different), but the configuration file has been changed. Instead of a list of standalone constants, everything is thrown into a class, and the mosConfig part from the variable names is missing.
Everything is working the same as in the Joomla! 1.0, except step 9., where you have to replace the following values:
a:)
var $log_path = ‘yoursitemaindir/jxcms/logs’;
to
var $log_path = ‘yoursitemaindir/logs’;
b:)
var $tmp_path = ‘yoursitemaindir/jxcms/tmp’;
to
var $tmp_path = ‘yoursitemaindir/tmp’;

The good thing in collecting the e-mail address of the subscriber is, that you can check if that e-mail address is used by someone or it’s just an random string.

Hi all!
It’s been a long time since i wrote an article here.
I’m observing a deep stupidity which sits somwhere behind desks and home computers. Many people are sending and forwarding some idiotic messages which are pretending, that well known and rich companies are giving away a lot of money for just forwarding that message. And all that money for just an e-mail forwarding and several so-called non-relevant information: Your home address, and perhaps a little more.

Today i decided to adopt a zero tolerance against spammers on this site. Their comments will not be even moderated, just dropped immediately, and their IP address will be banned here. The owners of these IP addresses will not have the right to post any comments, or use any services from BWS sites.
Why? Many spam comments are coming as legitimate ones, apparently with an acceptable content, but all of them are linking to som dubious sites with references and links to well known industry segments, who are ofte recurring to these methods of advertising.
Every comment or message of this kind will be reported, and these IP addresses, or even IP address groups may be banned or blacklisted worldwide.
PLEASE don’t bother me anymore!

I have my blog engine updated yesterdays and i am very pleased wit this version of Wordpress (2.7) and already waiting for the 2.8 edition.
What i like in this release, that it easily updated it’s database without any problem. I just have overwritten the old installation’s files and voila. When i logged in, the installation system just updated my DB in a couple of seconds, and i had nothing to do, except of customizing the admin area. Drag’n'drop and many other nifty things are built into this new version.
What i don’t like, is that updating does’nt work at all. Hopefully it will be allright in the next release.
Summa summarum, Wordpress is a very good and robust blogging software, and also looks great!

I’m already working in web design for two and a half years and my head is full with “use that and that template” and “use that and that from that and that template” so much, that i decided to write it somewhere. My blog was the most suitable place for this.
Here are some expereience-born rules which may be good for you too (These things are for developers who are just starting in this big internet-thing):

Sorry for writing so late, but my other tasks went much tootime-consuming as i got very little time for my spare-time things.
I decided to reenable commenting after almost four months of inactivity. I’m waiting for fresh comments to read and “eat”

Today i checked my comment list and got no less than 1200 pieces of spam messages, no “real ones” had been in the list.
I got tired of this damnt shit, and decided to disable comments on this blog. I’m sorry, but this is the only way to get rid of them.
However, if you wish to send me comments about this, you can send a message to the support ( at ) beerwin dot com e-mail address, with the following subject format:

Today, i encountered a problem with a Joomla! 1.0.15 installation: everything seemed to be OK, BUT! the wysiwyg editors’ (i installed more) plugins, and dialogs did not work at all, i could’nt work with them at all. That should’nt be a proble, but my client knows nuts about how to update a web page. The wysiwyg was for him.
Be careful, this is a quiet complicated procedure, always use it as a LAST RESORT. AND BACKUP YOUR DB AND SITE DIRECTORY FIRST!
So, let’s get into the middle of the thing
