Then just open the error.php file from your Joomla template and edit it.

If you want to redirect to a sitemap on your site for example use this code at the top of the error.php file before everything in the file write:

defined( ‘_JEXEC’ ) or die( ‘Restricted access’ );
if (($this->error->code) == ‘404′) {
header(’Location: http://www.yoursite.com/sitemap’);
exit;

Add and extra field to Jcomments

admin — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 19:08:26 +0000

Let’s add two additional fields in the form of comments: Town (City) and AcceptTerms (I agree with the rules). the user will need to check.

Adding new fields to the table jos_jcomments

Code:

ALTER TABLE jos_jcomments ADD COLUMN `town` varchar ( 255 ) ; and

Code:

ALTER TABLE jos_jcomments ADD COLUMN `acceptterms` tinyint (1) DEFAULT 0;

Jcomments.class.php open the file and add the data fields in the class JCommentsDB, for example after the following lines:

Code:

var $editor = '' ;

we would get like this:

Code:

var $editor ='';

var $town ='';

var $acceptterms ='';

Open the file jcomments.ajax.php and after the lines:

Code:

$comment -> userid = $my -> id ? $my -> id : 0 ;

add 2 more:

Code:

 $comment -> town  = isset( $values ['town' ] )  ? $values ['town' ]  : '' ;

$comment -> acceptterms  = isset($values ['acceptterms'] ) ? $values ['acceptterms']:0 ;

Open the file / tpl / default / tpl_form.php and before the lines:

Code:

We add our new fields:

Code:

Town

Accept Terms of Use /p>

Open the file jcomments.php, we find in it the line:

Code:

$query = "SELECT c.id, c.object_id, c.object_group, c.userid, c.name, c.username, c.title, c.comment"

and replace it with:

Code:



$query  = "SELECT c.id, c.object_id, c.object_group, c.userid, c.name, c.username, c.title, c.comment, c.town, c.acceptterms"

This way, we add a sample of information on these fields from the database.

Now open the template file: / tpl / default / tpl_comment.php and admit after lines:

Code:

datetime ) ; ?>

add the the following:

Code:

 town ; ?>

 acceptterms ? 'Accepted' : 'Not accepted' ; ?>

You are now done go and see if it works.
Note if it does not work first time round check all your code again step by step check for spaces that should not be there ect

After this add the field to the admin list:

Open admin.jcomments.html.php

Find this lines

if ($row->email != “) {
?>

email; ?>“ />

and add this lines before them:

telephone; ?>“ />

That’s it.

Hack for a problem with the search module in Joomla 1.5.11

admin — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 23:04:14 +0000

If you don’t want all your search results to open on the front page of your website just use this hack. After it they will open on a separate page.

Just open your-site/components/com_search/controller.php

Find this part:

// No need to guess Itemid if it’s already present in the URL
if (JRequest::getInt(’Itemid’) > 0) {
$post['Itemid'] = JRequest::getInt(’Itemid’);
} else {

// set Itemid id for links
$menu = &JSite::getMenu();
$items = $menu->getItems(’link’, ‘index.php?option=com_search&view=search’);

if(isset($items[0])) {
$post['Itemid'] = $items[0]->id;
}

}

Change it to this:

// set Itemid id for links
$menu = &JSite::getMenu();
$items = $menu->getItems(’link’, ‘index.php?option=com_search&view=search’);

if(isset($items[0])) {
$post['Itemid'] = $items[0]->id;
}
