Joomla component Gallery2

Been a good day today! Installed 2 gallery components on my joomla
powered site and both works! It was planning to pick 1 but now I don’t have
the heart to uninstall these 2 working programs!
You can call me a compulsive application installer.

May 2
Damn it! Spoke too soon! Now I’m having problems with the damn
component!  The stupid thing won’t show my uploads!!!!

site porting over new host-revisited to the 10th power!

I am at it again! still trying to figure out how to transfer my joomla site to a different host with more security features.

I have overcome the mysql problems and have successfully restored my database to the new host. (that was after 5 tries and 2 movie breaks)

found out what the new hosting place absolute path is (use HELP in control panel..jezzzz…)

got a hint to edit the cfg file to recognize the new setting..

…to be continued…

after a couple of hours…

well..the whole damn thing finally worked! exact duplicate of my main site! yes!  And the freakin’ error message doesn’t show up on the backend menu.  The help instructions in the joomla forum actually works.  It just looks simple now that I have done and gone over it. Now I’ll try to play around on the wordpress & coppermine port over. maybe next month or so…

Good Friday - Biyernes Santo - upgraded to Wordpress 2.1.3

Pinauwi kami ng maaga today in the spirit of good friday. Buti na lang at christiano ang amo ko. Alas-tres ang time talaga na pinauwi kami pero dahil sipsip-higop-vacumn ako nag stay ako hanggang 4pm. Ska hiniram kasi ng may-ari yung susi ko para doon sa isang suite namin eh nakakabit doon ang susi ng koste ko kaya hindi ako maka-alis! May kausap pa sa phone kaya nag-sign language na lang ako para makuha ko.
Anyways, nakauwi naman ako ng bago mag-alas sinko kaya oks na rin. Inabutan ko ang jowa ko na nanonood ng D’Lucky Ones sa Tfc. Aliw na aliw ba naman… sabi ko ‘hoy! biyernes santo ngayon…araw ng pagtitika..’ (ano nga ba ibig sabihin non..?)

In other news nag-upgrade na ako sa latest version ng Wordpress 2.1.3 kasi nabubwiset na ako sa spam comments. Limang sunod-sunod na spam comments ang natanggap ko kaya letche!! upgrade ko nga ito..tingnan natin kung matigas pa sila…

blog ni nano permalink changes

trying a new strategy from those Isulong SEOPH blog tips. I had the default setup before whereas the permalink uses numbers and symbols ( i used to call them characters). Now trying to see if the new permalink using the numerical date and post title combo will pull through. Still working on a good category scheme.

Consolidation

Biyak na talaga utak ko. I was trying to find an easy way to migrate my blog from this host to another host but too much hassle! Too much domain to manage kaya pinag-isa ko na lang yung z-nano.com at zeenanoko.com/blog. Dati maraming time to kill pero lately super tambak na trabaho ko. I need to update my profile din sa www.technorati.com at pati na rin siguro sa www.360.yahoo.com

 

Site content migration coming slow but sure(?)

Did a lot of things on the new site structure. The Images page is done and wrapped with the Joomla interface. Had to use a different template just for that particular page. come to think of it, that images page actually looks better than the regular pages. I just can’t make up my mind right now which template I should stick to. Kung pwede nga lang lahat na! But I’ll go with the voting poll. Crap..then I have to set that up too. Also i feel uneasy about my webhost PHP setting. Maybe I’ll forward my domain to another host that’s more accomodating with the required security features that my new website platform is asking for.
Also, there’s the issue about screen resolution. I wonder how many surfers out there are still using the 800 screen resolution? I have my setting to the highest possible resolution. Dito sa bahay i had it set for 1280 x 1024. I’m also thinking of modifying the CSS to at least 1024 pixels wide. I feel so cramped with the current 800 resolution. But if we have to stay compatible across the board I guess I have to stick with it…for the meantime!

Coppermine PG re-installed (3x) & now working!!!

Yeehheeeyy!! Part 2!! Maybe it when I installed Gallery it also installed some critical files that Coppermine is looking for. I think one of the files it need is that ImageMagick for producing thumbnails. See…when I’m browsing around Gallery it looks just like a regular photo album compared to Coopermine I thought that Gallery is just a regular photo album but looking deeper they have some themes that you can configure to make your Gallery show the way you like it. In regards to Coppermine, I like the category features of Coopermine. Right now I have been ftp’ing the files into the server then I’ll sort them out into whatever category that I need to create. When I first installed CPG it chokes whenever I do a browser upload. It gives me an server error 500. That’s why I had to call NetSols service rep. Also when I do a batch add ins the thumbnails doesn’t show on some of the pics. I’m still in the dark what happened but I’m just glad that it’s working.

Please Register in my Zeenanoko Photo Gallery!   

Now..if only i can get that Joomla to stop reporting that error…

Stand back & think..

Just got off the phone with one of NetSol’s service rep and they informed me na hindi raw pwedeng iset yung php register (secret) to (secret). Paano na yan? Ito pa naman ang 1st Host na pinag-umpisahan ko. Ska I need to stand back and look at this whole crap that I’m doing and layout a plan kung saan ko i-po-point. Nakakatuwa kasing mag-install ng mag-install ng program tapos pag hindi gumana ang sarap mainis! hehehe brutal-con-S&M ? Feel lang!

OO nga at napakaganda ng Joomla CMS pero gaano kasimple naman itong WordPress? Isang pitik lang..ok tatlo na sama na pati password pero pwede ka nang up-and-go.

Then again think about the ImageCafe ng NetSol. Very restrictive pa rin. Etong Joomla mas robust. Ska passe na ang hard-core coding html from scratch. (Bakit pa nag-aral ng grade one kung mag-iiskip ka lang to college)Eh damu-damukal ang mga software to do just that! Yung iba libre pa nga. Kaya kain muna tayo ng breakfast, manood ng dvd at titigilan ko muna itong burakenang-inang katarantaduhan ko!

WeatherIcon

Installed this little widget today and suppose to give all kinds of weather info.  I just now discover this world of WordPress plugins and I have to restrain myself cuz’ I just want to install all that I can find!
