Joomla Updating Woes

I’ve stumbled into this problem a couple of times. I solved it a couple of times too. But couldnt quite remember about it. This time I’m making sure it doesnt bother me in the future.

I went into the admin panel, tried to update a content, when I clicked the html button on the wysiwyg, tinymce, (to view the html of the content of course), there’s a fucking blank screen. with {$lang_about_title} as its title. What the hell? Maybe an outdated version, I thought to myself. Went to tinymce website, downloaded and updated it. Still the friggin think appears blank.

This requires readings from the trusty oracle, Mr Google. Oh kind sir! Help thy humble student search thou vast wisdom for an answer to thy question! My vision starts to blur, my back starts to hurt, and there it is. The answer!

the address entered at the url box must be the same as the configuration that was set in $mosConfig_live_site in configuration.php or else it’ll break the wysiwyg editor.

Another journey ended with headache, backache and an empty stomach. To the BAT MOBILE, HUNT FOR FOOOD!

Submit DAMN IT!

Well, I discovered something new (for me that is). Got it from Chovy’s Blog.

javascript:

function checkForm(){
var form = document.someform;
someform.submit();
}

html:

form method=”post” action=”login.php” name=”someform”>
input type=”text” name=”woot” value=”">
input type=”button” name=”submit” value=”login” onclick=”checkForm();”>

When I clicked on the button.. an error appears someform.submit is not a function.
Apparently it collides with the button which is named “submit”. Changing the button name solves it.

Professional

Comment response for Tony from developer.*
A professional (programmer) is someone that knows they are good without having an ego.

The number of years at a trade does not make one a professional. Experience and dedication makes one good at what they do. I could argue the kid next door is a professional Pokemon player, and he’s only 8 years old. He’s a pro because he has passion about the game and that’s what he does (all day).

But where the kid may not be a professional is if he brags that he’s good at the game. Pros don’t brag nor boast, they don’t have to.

Restlessness..

Argh! Problems, problems, so many problems.

On Monday, I asked for my payment which was due. He said “I’ll bank-in in 30 minutes”. Relieved to hear that answer, I asked my friend to proceed with registering a domain using his own money in advance which I should be paying the day after that. But alas, he didnt bank-in the money into my account.

On Tuesday (yesterday), I messaged (sms) him to bank-in because I’m sick and needed the money to do so much things. He said “Ok ok, I’ll bank-in in 30 minutes” AGAIN relieved to hear it, I waited and slept for a few hours and went to the ATM and checked my account. AGAIN there’s nothing there, I thought, maybe he transferred the cash and it needed to float. I went back to the office, looked at the site I’m working on, wanted to log into the admin account AND somebody changed the GODDAMN PASSWORD! I was pissed like hell, I called my friend and told him about the password changed, I called the candidate who might change the password and he didnt answer the phone. I called my friend again, I asked him to ask his friend the password. After that he said he couldnt make it to bank-in my money.

I really hoped today wouldnt be the third time. Or else I would need to raise my voice (which I dont like).

Couldnt sleep well thinking bout this. I got no cash, rent is around the corner. So.. lets see how things turn up.

True Rounded Corner! Finally!

Stop reinventing!

Ah yes, i’ve read about people asking to stop reinventing the wheel and such. Well, i’ve made the same mistake a couple of times, maybe its because the feeling of creating something (even though it already exists) gives me some excitement or something. Heh.

The pain have already been done. The headache already felt. I hope I’ll be wiser in the future.

The project that i’m supposed to finish on February, got delayed, oh i dunno.. a couple of times. I’m lucky I got a patient client. If its some bigshot boss I’d be really in big trouble.

Rentside will be made with EZStore and Community Builder. It meets all the requirements, convenient and easy! And most important of all! No late nights thinking WTH!? WTF!?. Heh.

Now, my main problem is ewasiyyah and nknowledge. The former being my biggest headache. The latter will be the most troublesome. I mean, it looks like crap. I gotta get myself to fix it. Free of charge of course. Its a pride thing.

Thats all for now. Sore-ja!

Unexpected turn of events..

Hope tomorrow will be better than today. I’ll try to clear all the jobs queing up the line. Ta-da List is helpful. Simple and straight to the point.

Liverpool vs Arsenal in 20 minutes. Hrm.. hope they’ll perform well today!

It just never ends.. hope it will this month!

The pc setup and installing job finished. Gone all around Selangor, the farthest is Sabak Bernam. I dont know the road to go there, so far we (my friend and I) used the Sg Buloh route, Klang - Kapar route, and Rawang route. The place is bearable, but the journey isnt, for me that is.

One down, few more to go. eWasiyyah, nKnowledge, rentside, to name a few. I’m almost there with rentside. Hope I’ll settle it this week.

Got to review the documents for eWasiyyah and start doing it ASAP. Dont know when. Tomorrow maybe. Yes, absolutely tomorrow. eWasiyyah and Rentside! I’ll deal with those tomorrow. :: grin :: Excellent.

Today didnt play any DoTA. Nice. I must contain and take control of myself. Things have become out of hand a couple of days (or maybe weeks). Been playing like crazy. Guildwars is a nice substitute for now. It doesnt take lots of time like DoTA.

ejai.net is UP! Thats ejai’s anime site. A project which he have talked about with me for a couple of months back. I did a few things there, tweaked a little script here and there. Docman is quite nice, but has lots of drawback. For example, you cant resume the download. Thats a pain in the ass if you have a crappy connection. I’ll see to it in the future.

Went back early today! There’s nobody at the office, was worried nobody will be there later to send me back so I called upon Hairi and behold! I’m saved! Few minutes after arriving home went to the local cybercafe and observe a friend playing DoTA and read about Django.

Django which I’m trying to get into is some kind of a Python Web-Framework like Ruby On Rails. Have to get into this to build rapid web app.

Hungry… need to eat. Be back later. Sore-ja!
