  • Enable HTTPS and make your entire site secure

    Life is full of surprises. One of these days I got a job offering with a consistent budget, one of my former clients approached me to "make his site secure".  I said yes, but when turned out what he wanted in fact i had a surprise: he wanted nothing else, just to make the browser warning about "unsecure site" go away. He actually purchased a security certificate and hired someone to install it onto his server - with no success.
  • Error: Invalid login during Joomla upgrade

    Today I had to upgrade an old, Joomla 2.5.7 site to latest Joomla, everything went out fine until I had to do the first critical step - the upgrade from Joomla 2.5.28 to Joomla 3.51. Did I mentioned that server has PHP 5.6.25 withouth possibility to upgrade - at least not on short term?

    OK, so, wasn't the best setup condition available, but usually this is not a dealbreaker.

    And BUMM, I have seen an old "friend", a popup saying:

    ERROR: Invalid login

     
  • How to create custom 404 error page in Joomla 3

  • How to detect Joomla version withouth having access to admin?

    Sometimes you need to find out the exact Joomla version for a website you don't own for a decent reason - like you are a freelancer and need to provide an estimation for a job on the respective site.

    Sure, you can ask the owner ;) but that's the easy scenario.

    Fortunately there are relatively easy - and legitimate - ways to find it out, unless the owner of the site hasn't blocked the access to this information. In my personal experience (believe me, I have some) this is rarely happening.

  • I want the print and email icons back as in previous Joomla!

    A client called me one of these days with this request. He told me, that what was once a simple one click action to print, email or edit an article in frontend in Joomla 1.5 has became an uncomfortable, two click  process, which in some devices proved to be increasingly difficult. After a bit of digging around I found for him an easy to implement template override which make him happy.
  • Installer tabs missing after upgrade to Joomla 3.6

    After upgrading to Joomla 3.6 I had a nasty surprise - in the Joomla Installer the tabs - Install from file,  Install from folder etc.., all but the Install from Web - where all gone. Of course, nothing found on the web: this happens when you are an early adopter. But I discovered the "fix" accidentally, on my own.

  • Where is Yoda Professor?

    Yoda Professor

    PATIENCE YOU MUST HAVE my young padawan

    Worry, do not, there Yoda Professor is! His old identity just hiding behind. Dark force - Google Authorship - to blame is.

    But still with you, the Force is! Browse around, young padawan, and you need find the help!

    In a dark place we find ourselves, and a little more knowledge lights our way.

    If you end your training now — if you choose the quick and easy path as Vader did — you will become an agent of evil. You must unlearn what you have learned. You will find only what you bring in.

    Always pass on what you have learned.

    You will know when you are calm, at peace. Passive. A (Jedi) Joomler uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.

    May the Force be with you.
