Amusingly most moderate forums software when a user uploads a type rapidshare download link is invited by a friendly moderator to remove the link with the excuse that this forum is not allowed illegal download links.

It's funny because even if it is a commercial extension if this is written under the GNU / GPL license can be shared freely with others and those pages are a mechanism to share it with whoever you want ... Let the user actually not committing any fault to any copyright.

The GNU is misunderstood by most, in the JED (Joomla! Extensions Directory) we can find several applications embodying gnu allegedly as a domain for use by example .... Gentlemen's not gnu, when one buys a product gnu is free to use, modify and redistribute maintaining the original license, and I do not want to talk about encrypted codes and other atrocities that are under such license.

Since the arrival of Joomla! 1.5 the tool tips (floating texts provide us with information) are part of the core of the application and can modify its css styles through our template, in the old version of Joomla! 1.0 these styles were integrated into a javascript file.

The way to change your appearance is based on three css classes that can add to our style sheet.

  / * Tooltips * / 
  . Tool-tip ( 
  / * Comntenedor styles * / 
  ) 
  . Tool-title ( 
  / * Styles for the title * / 
  ) 
  . Tool-text ( 
  / * Text styles * / 
  ) 

For this, activating on the website of a client plugin standardbuttons DOCman appeared to me a critical error could not see the website, the error said:

Fatal error: Call to a member function canDownload () on a non-object in ...

I've been looking at the code and the first thing that occurred to me what has been fixed, construct the object using the method call canDownload () in file plugins / DOCman / standardbuttons.php

  bot_standardbuttons function ($ params) ( 
  global $ mainframe, $ _DOCMAN, $ _DMUSER; 
  $ _DMUSER = $ _DOCMAN-> GetUser (); 

This error has been fixed and the buttons can be active under the links to the documents ...

Sometimes relamente is easy to do what we intend when we work with Joomla, I have been making changes to a component for a client and needed to use some plugins of content in some text fields, I have been looking for information on it and the truth is there is not much and the little that is not in Spanish.

Achieving this is as simple as adding one line of code where we have the text output, for example, imagine that our back-end form contains a text and in the public part painted it like this:

  <? Php echo $ this-> row-> text;?> 

To ensure that the plugins are loaded only content we should launch our text as follows:

  <? Php echo JHTML ::_(' content.prepare ', $ this-> row-> text);?> 

Sometimes it's really amazing the ease with which we can work through the API for Joomla!
