Super Secret Sitemap Trick - by Mathias Verraes

Here’s a useful little trick if you want to try out and debug a new template on your site while your visitors still see the live template.

joomla1.0.x : Simply use this link  ”index.php?jos_change_template=new_template_name”

joomla1.5.x:  Simply use this link  ”index.php?template=new_template_name”

The EasyTube plugin allows you to easily embed any YouTube or Google video in your webpage using a tag. All you need is the URL for the YouTube or Google video which can easily be found on each website.

steps:

1. Login to Mambo/Joomala and goto mambots, upload and install the easytube file.
2. Activate the mambo
3. To embed a youtube or google video player, all you need to do is insert one simple tag into your page which takes the form [ youtube:URL] or [ googlevideo:URL]
   The URL is the url of the video in Youtube or Google Videos, just copy and paste from your browser address.
4. You can also set the width and height of the player as follows:
   [ youtube:URL WIDTH HEIGHT] or [ googlevideo:URL WIDTH HEIGHT]

NOTE: No whitespace at the beginning of the tag.

you can download the plugin here

From Joomla VM

Before we begin, you must have access to your database. If you don’t, pass these instructions on to someone that does.  please backup your database before making changes.

steps:

1.Log in to your Joomla database (via phpMyAdmin for example)

2.Click to edit the _users database (will be preceded by your account name, for example: example_users

3.Edit the entry for where usertype = “Super Administrator” (should be the first record)

then you can see your old password, but it’s cryptograph,so you need to overwrite it with the new password that you can know and need to remember.

4.execute the follow Sql : UPDATE example_users SET password=MD5(’yourpassword’) WHERE usertype = “Super Administrator”;

Our Work for www.bottediferro.com are continued. The idea of making future file sharing website are continued by making integration and shincronyzation of the mobile data into the website.

In this case We use funambol to integrate that with bottediferro.

We still work on this now and hope will be delivered in October 16th as Will be presented in Italian biggest ICT event.

Interested on the same works?

Recently We work for File Storage Website http://www.bottediferro.com

I’m really excited the way this site working. I’ve got a project to repair the drag and drop feature, the file sharing modification (this way We use collaboration) and also the multiple file upload.

The most interested part is the collaboration and workgroup. With this feature you can work easily and sharing your files with all your collegas easily, I think this is the future of online sharing Website.

This is just first part of our works with bottediferro. We will work again on the net project. So just wait me to finish the work and I will share my experience here.

You’re interested to make the same system for your online file storage, You can contact us here and discuss about that.
