the link project

Jun 25th, 2009 Posted in PHP | no comment »

A while back I had a problem with some link-organizing-sites.

So I made a list of things that I thought would be necessary:

  • CRUD
  • fast site
  • statistics
  • lookup service
  • user accounts
  • easy interface

There are a few services out there that are great but I wanted to have something better.

Approximately 2 weeks ago I started to work on my own link service.

The goal is to make a site that has all the necessary things and is also very extend-able, reliable and brings in new innovations.

I hope to launch the site for official beta testing on Jul 10.

Domain lock in J1.5.11

Jun 25th, 2009 Posted in CMS, PHP | no comment »

Once I had to force J1.5.11 to use a specific domain and here is how i’ve done it:

  1. I browsed to /libraries/joomla/environment
  2. I opened uri.php in gedit
  3. finally I replaced all $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] with “www.???.com”

i know it’s not good programming.

in fact it’s horrible but it worked for me :)
