At 299/month Disqus is no longer very interesting. My guess is that they have enough "corporate" accounts that they don't want to spend time with the small accounts anymore. In any case, without a decent, granulated upgrade path from free to pay I'm not interested in their platform at all.

I am currently working and living in Brooklyn, However I am moving to Maui, HI for the winter and was looking for some part time development work to offset my costs. I have extensive Joomla, and other php framework experience. Here are some of the sites I just launched. http://insideschools.org/ (Me and Rafael at dioscouri.com launched this site from a massive migration from wordpress and another custom CMS.) http://www.invigoratetravelguide.com/ (this a flash site, But the administration panel for all the city and state and map info is joomla component that generates CSS. i did the component not the flash.) http://premierelivingprod.com/ (This is a really basic site, with a bit of content, slideshow, and a contact form. I only show it because i built it from a PSD in 6 hours start to finish.) http://www.saleforcedrupalorbitz.com.php5-24.dfw1-2.websitetestlink.com/ (Not launched yet waiting on approvals, this is drupal not joomla.) http://sunpill.com/ (this is magento, but cool little store and shows I can do ecommerce.) I would be working 6 hours behind you but i am an early riser so i would be be available for calls and such around noon NYC time. I have great references and will be back in NYC in the spring. My normal rate is 35/hour but if it is easy work I am down for small flat rates for easy gigs.

Then it struck me that my desktop is a beefy system memorywise[this solution is gonna take a lot of memory] - so I gave VirtualBox a try. http://www.virtualbox.org/ VirtualBox basically allows you to run different operating systems in a virtual environment. For my current setup, I started with Ubuntu Server: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/download For the VirtualBox settings, choose fixed disk size - not dynamic. I use 10GB, it eats up the full space but improves performance. My system has 8GB of memory, so I give the system 2GB of ram, I'd suggest nothing under 1GB. in the network settings for the virtual machine, I setup TWO network adapters. Adapter 1 is set to "bridged adapter", the name is selected from my active adapter. This allows the system to connect through yours to the internet. Adapter 2 is a "Host Only Adapter" - basically it's a "fake" network adapter that allows your pc communicate with the VM and the VM communicate with you. So if your doing this on a laptop, you can still work even while offline. ****For the application settings[File-->Preferences] - go to the network settings and configure the virtual network adapter settings. The important bit here is to disable the dhcp server. When installing Ubuntu, setup adapter 1 for DHCP and adapter 2 as a static IP address in a different network[most home networks are 192.168.1.0 or 192.168.2.0 - so I give my internal only network the address 192.168.129.1, netmask 255.255.255.0 - no default gateway!] Openssh is important to install for decent CLI access. Samba should be installed to make it easy to access the files on the server[just share out your web directory and then you can map the drive and access it from your favorite web editor]. Git, subversion, and mercurial should be installed since you need it at some point I always make sure to install wget Now, the piece of magic that makes this all work, DNSMasq: http://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html DNSMasq allows you to run a DHCP server and DNS cache on the virtual machine. So you setup the DHCP server to give out an IP address to your system, and have it pass itself along as the DNS server[make VERY sure to also specify a blank gateway/router so all your internet traffic goes to the right place]. The importan bits I've found: interface=eth1 interface=lo ^^^these 2 lines makes sure that your system doesn't try to take over your "real" network address=/osm/192.168.56.1 domain=osm ^^^this sets up the "fake" domain osm and configures it so any domain ending in .osm will be given the ip address 192.168.56.1 - the virtual machines ip address dhcp-range=192.168.56.10,192.168.56.15,255.255.255.0,12h ^^^ this gives your fake network a range of addresses, and a long timeout dhcp-option=3 ^^^ makes sure dnsmasq doesn't try to get your computer to route traffic through it dhcp-option=19,0 # option ip-forwarding off dhcp-option=44,192.168.56.1 # set netbios-over-TCP/IP nameserver(s) aka WINS server(s) dhcp-option=45,192.168.56.1 # netbios datagram distribution server dhcp-option=46,8 # netbios node type ^^^^helps with the file shareing dhcp-authoritative ^^^speeds up initialization cache-size=1500 no-negcache ^^^helps with lookups As an added bennie, with dnsmasq running, your lame windows box now has the full power of a linux domain name caching - so it will speed up your general internet usage. Then, in general, I follow the instructions at http://www.metod.si/multiple-php-versions-with-apache-2-fastcgi-phpfarm-on-ubuntu/ to setup and install apache, mysql, and php 5.2 and 5.3 - with modifications for the latest versions of each. In my virtual hosts configuration the following are important: VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%-3 %-3 basically means the third element of the domain name and is used to map domains to directories. So for me: http://testsite.53.osm - the files stored at /var/www/testsite - the THIRD element of the domain name will be used also using that directory is http://www.testsite.53.osm and http://testsite.52.home Wheras http://mydomain.53.osm will use the files located at /var/www/mydomain Our last bit of magic uses the virtual host configuration: ServerAdmin webmaster at localhost ServerName 52.osm ServerAlias *.52.osm VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%-3 DocumentRoot /var/www Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews +ExecCGI AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all AddHandler php-cgi .php Action php-cgi /php-fcgi/php-cgi-5.2 ServerAdmin webmaster at localhost ServerName 53.osm ServerAlias *.53.osm VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%-3 DocumentRoot /var/www Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews +ExecCGI AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all AddHandler php-cgi .php Action php-cgi /php-fcgi/php-cgi-5.3 These 2 configurations are almost identical, the only things that change are servername, serveralias, and action The servername has to be a full name, so I just use the php version I want with the domain tacked on[53.osm]. The serveralias can have a wildcard, so *.53.osm means that for ANY website you try to load which ends in .53.osm use this configuration. Lastly, the Action line tells apache which PHP FastCGI server to route the request to. So I have 2 different instances of PHP running, 5.2 and 5.3 and route accordingly. [Note, I share out the /var/www directory using SAMBA, and then map it on my windows box to drive letter W:] So now to edit files on my test website, garyamort, I edit the files located at w:/garyamort To see the website using PHP 5.2, I go to http://garyamort.52.osm To see the website using PHP 5.3 I go to http://garyamort.53.osm When dealing with oddities like a website which "suddenly" stops working, one cause is upgrading to PHP 5.3 CiviCRM for example has 2 versions, almost identical but one of them will run on PHP 5.2 and one runs on PHP 5.3 - so a CiviCRM website that suddenly stops working is likely to have a webhost who upgraded PHP from 5.2 to 5.3 It's a fairly simple solution - just copy the 5.3 version files over the old version files AND DELETE THE TEMPLATE CACHE DIRECTORIES - and it will start working again. If there is interest, I'm trying to put together a virtual box of all this pre-configured, so all you have to do is - with the exception of the part I put *** in front of, it would all be plug and play for most home networks. By the same token, if anyone knows a bit more about DHCP and DNS - I've had trouble with this part with windows...since both the home router and my virtual box broadcast a DNS server address, Windows will occassionally grab the wrong DNS address. The problem is, I don't want to ALWAYS run the virtualbox, so I want some way for the VM to override the DNS address, but still allow the client to use the other one. And for those of you who are really good with IPForwarding, I sometimes have to use remove VPN networks. So I have the VPN client on both my windows machine and the virtual machine running. It would be great if I could get the VPN client on the linux machine to dynamically update dnsmasq so that when it's running, the DHCP server will tell my windows box to route all traffic just for the remote network through it, and do some NAT routing on the virtualbox so the connection goes through there. -Gary From scott at wolpow.com Fri Sep 2 12:25:48 2011 From: scott at wolpow.com (Scott Wolpow) Date: Fri, 02 Sep 2011 12:25:48 -0400 Subject: [joomla] Dev environment using virtualbox Message-ID: Coooool :) Gary Mort wrote: >I've been driven a little crazy lately with trying to develop for Joomla >with the following limitations: > >1) Half the sites use PHP 5.2 and half of them use PHP 5.3 >2) Sometimes I'm online and sometimes I'm offline > > >I kept coming back to "if only I was using linux, I could set things up >more easily"....

I'm in the process of setting up an Ubuntu dev server using VMWare. I've only got as far as getting the VM running and the server set up so this is a very timely post since it's the network share and DNS stuff that looks to be the tricky bits. One thing I'd suggest is to use split rather than monolithic files since at ~2GB they can be more handily backed up. I'll post back with how I make out on this. I use a VPN too (OpenVPN) and I have been able to remote access the VM. I did assign the VM a fixed IP in my router which I had to do to use port forwarding.

I've found VirtualBox to be a breeze to setup on my windows machine, so I didn't look further into other VM options. I originally used a dynamic 10G drive, basically this means that the disk image can grow to 10G but will only be as big as all the files on it - but I found performance rather lousy with that with all the disk space claims it had to keep making for logfiles and such. I really want 1 single file as it allows me to simply zip and copy the file from the desktop to the laptop to switch work systems, and then swap it back. Sometime in the next few weeks, I'm picking up a small 30G SSD drive and seeing if moving the disk image to SSD speeds things up noticeably.

Back with Joomla 1.0 I used Community Builder and it was great. However, as Joomla has advanced, I was more and more turned off from Community Builder because CB maintains compatibility with Joomla 1.0, Mambo, and 1.5 - as such they re-implement a lot of features that are in Joomla 1.5 and now 1.6 because the other platforms did not have those features. In the end, it just gets too confusing where CB is overriding Joomla and where it is working with Joomla. I recently went a looked at CB again and see that it's features have advanced greatly...but it still has that cross platform issue. JomSocial is another possibility, but it also suffers from waaaay to many features. Are there any simple user profile components for Joomla? Ones that only deal with user registration/profile and don't try to do thousands of other little things?

But it's a royal mess of code AND K2 is not upgradable anymore. I'd love to migrate them to 1.7 and a simpler process than have them keep asking me for minor, fiddly changes. I'd also prefer to get them onto a "component" rather than just custom code it myself. From cozimek at picnet.net Mon Sep 5 10:26:35 2011 From: cozimek at picnet.net (Ryan W.

Might be just what you need. Unfortunately I'm on my cell phone right now, but search for it and you should be able to find it. We extend it at PICnet as a base quite a bit.

You just need to grab the save user event and check the password at that point. I'd try to avoid the no reuse though, it's a real pain and just leads to users gaming the system[once I know the password cycle is X passwords, I just make X updates until I can set my preferred password]. I imagine there already is a plugin for this, just check the extensions directory.

Joomla has module caching, you can set it for each module in the Advanced Parameters section. Joomla also has the cache setting in the global configuration, but I'm not familiar with how that works. And you could have a third-party or custom cache.? This is where you need to remember that Joomla forms uses a token and can't be cached. Some people will cache the whole site (except forms) for the public, and show the logged-in users the non-cached site. If your site changes infrequently, you could produce static HTML pages from the Joomla site, and re-output the static pages when you make changes. ________________________________ From: David Roth To: NYPHP SIG: Joomla Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2011 6:46 AM Subject: Re: [joomla] Cache on or Cache off with Joomla 1.5?

The session cookie stores a unique string on your workstation which is then used to track you as a "visitor" to the site. Properly behaving components will generally store any other data associated with your session in the session variable[though this does not work for all use cases, for example shopping carts may need to keep their own cookie set for your shopping cart] You can use an extension like https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kbnfbcpkiaganjpcanopcgeoehkleeck?hc=search&hcp=main to view the active cookies. The session cookie name is an MD5 hash of logged in username, ip address, and some other info. So it is practically meaningless. As is it's value. For example, on one website right now my session cookie value is:f5fc5356924c8ed30c9bca2ac70761bf and the name is equally meaningless. In addition to the session cookie, if you have set the "remember me" flag there is also a remember me cookie saved with an encrypted version of your username and password. Lastly, it's extremely difficult to disable these cookies... though of course it can be done, for example: http://www.commerce.gov/ Is a Drupal site which does not set a session cookie. The session cookie is needed for user logon[or some really alternate method of logon has to be used] - but for anonymous users it can be done. On the downside, it's not done yet, as evidenced by: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=2613084 My general understanding is that when they say disclose, they don't mean you have to specify the cookie names, you simply must specify what cookies are set, what they are for, and how long they last.

Assume that it always enabled - there was a lot of debate/discussion about it on those forum threads because the EU passed a law which specifically requires a website to ask BEFORE setting a session cookie, but Joomla sets the session cookie before the page is even displayed. As near as I can tell, it's just not easy/convenient to disable this session cookie and because the law is so vague[and even the agencies which are supposed to enforce this law use multiple session cookies on their own websites] that I don't think absent any funding this will be a high priority to change.

By Katherine Noyes Sep 15, 2011 2:08 PM There are numerous Web content management systems available out there to serve the needs of companies large and small, including numerous free and open source options. One that's figured prominently in the news this week, however, is Joomla, which is making headlines for the fact that it recently hit 25 million downloads. Some 2.7 percent of the Web now runs on Joomla, according to research firm W3Techs, which translates into a market share of roughly 10 percent. WordPress is currently the market leader, running almost 15 percent of all websites, while Drupal comes in third with 1.7 percent of the Web. Though Joomla is the relative newcomer among these three leaders, it boasts Citibank, eBay, General Electric, Harvard University, Ikea, McDonald's and Sony among its enterprise users. Does your company run a website? If so, here are a few reasons you may want to check out Joomla for yourself. 1. Powerful Core Features A three-tiered content management system and WYSIWYG editor along with tools for managing syndication, templates, menus, integrated help and more all combine to make Joomla a robust platform for creating and building a variety of websites and Web-enabled applications. Recently added in the current version 1.7 are the ability to perform one-click updates and multilanguage improvements. 2. More Than 8,000 Extensions Thanks to the ongoing efforts of a vital developer community, there are currently more than 8,000 free and paid extensions available to help you customize Joomla. A birthdays module, for example, shows a list of upcoming birthdays for a website's members; the Acajoom module, meanwhile, offers a powerful newsletter component. 3. Frequent Updates, Long-Term Support Whereas Joomla 1.6 took three years to develop, the project introduced a six-month release cycle earlier this year, allowing new features to be added more regularly. Every third release, however, is considered a Long Term Support release (LTS), offering 18 months of security updates and bug fixes. 4. It's Free and Easy Joomla is available for download at no cost, and it's designed to be easy to use for novices and experts alike. There's even an online guide available for absolute beginners. 5. It's Open Source Since its inception in 2005, Joomla has been 100 percent community owned and operated. The software is free, open, and available to anyone under the GPL license. For business users, that brings a number of considerable benefits, as I've noted before. Brian Proffitt, my colleague at Computerworld, recently compared Joomla with WordPress and Drupal and concluded that WordPress is best for beginners, Drupal is best for the most complex websites and Joomla is a good middle-of-the-road option that's powerful but still easy to use. You can see for yourself by taking Joomla for a free test drive via an online demo or the Joomla JumpBox, which lets you run the software locally with a pre-built and pre-configured virtual application on Windows, Mac or Linux. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Anyone successfully displaying a list of headlines from their tumblr blog in Joomla? If so, I'd appreciate a recommendation for the extension. If you managed to do this yourself and are happy with it, please share your experiences. I've looked at tumblr.com's support pages and they have code to display tumblr on other web pages, but I don't know yet if that's going to look pretty in Joomla. I thought I would ask before messing with it. :-) Thanks! David Roth -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
