How to install items using the tmp folder in Joomla 3.4

A question that frequently crops up on our ticket and forum systems is “why won't the T3 plug-in install correctly via the joomla installer?” - this problem is frequently due to the hosting file upload limit being set too low. One solution is to upload an extension via the tmp folder. This tutorial looks at how you can utilise this method to install Joomla extensions.

The Uploading Process

  • Download the extension archive to the hard drive. The T3 plug-in is being used in this example.
  • Extract the archive into a folder – in this case the Zip file has been extracted to a folder called t3.
  • Using FTP upload the folder and its contents to the tmp folder, which is found in the root of the Joomla site as shown here.

Joomla Admin

  • Navigate to the Joomla installer via extensions > Extension Manager.
  • Click the text “Install from Directory” in the second tab.
  • In the “install Directory” input box type the folder name - in this example I have typed t3.
  • Hit install.
  • Extension should now successfully install.

Alternative Solution

An alternative is to increase the hosting account upload limit (although this may not be possible with some hosts).



Joomla 3.4 Hosting - ASPHostPortal :: Greatest Joomla Remarks Extensions And Why You Ought to Use One

Wordpress was developed strictly as being a website system, around the other hand, Joomla from its starting was an entire feature CMS. These are the key factors to the differences between these two material administration methods. WordPress comes outfitted with a number of functions constructed into Core, a single of these is remark system. Although Joomla 3.4 never have in-build feedback, and probably even in long term version 3.5 will don't get it, you've possibility to put in & use them in a simple and fast way. And probably you have even more possibilities how they should work for you.

 


Advantages of Comments

Feedback can be used for different ways, like a standard comment for articles (all or selected), for reviews of products and much more. It is up to you how to use this function in your web project. But the most important reason for their use remains unchanged, users (registered or not) it is a great way of developing unique on-page content sometimes even each day as well as allowing visitors to share their insights. The content material which is also indexed by Google and can help your SEO. If users can read independent reviews of an individual article, offer or service, they see how real users perceive products, not only the manufacturer or reseller description.

In particular, also if you going to run a small business weblog section based on Joomla!, 1 of the most important areas is the remark section. Interaction and audience participation plays a big role in the success of your website, with direct remarks as well as social media sharing.
Two solutions but many extensions

In general we have two principal feedback storage solutions: as a content material in your CMS or as a social commenting system (Disqus, Facebook Remarks, Google Plus feedback) but in second option - those feedback do not belongs to you database, because they are hosted on their "social" platforms.

When we are talking about Joomla and you will check number of extensions on JED for feedback you might lost. What to choose and what will be good for me.

K2 - this is not a simple comments method, it can be even called additional material management inside Joomla because it has so many attributes, options etc. When you are using K2 you never have to worry about feedback because it have in-build such a system. There are also solutions which allows you to replace this system with other.

JComments - it's very popular and known since 2009 AJAX based remark program (extension) for Joomla. If you used it on Joomla 1.5 you will still love it because there is a edition for both Joomla 2.5 and Joomla 3.4. It has flexible ACL, smiles, BBCodes and avatars support, Antispam (CAPTCHA) and flood protection, Ban Ip, Quick moderation (from e-mails) and much more functions. On project website you can find also modules which allows you to show latest remarks, latest commented or most commented articles. Greatest advantage, it is still a free component, but it inserts a backlink to the developer, this might be not good for you in some cases.


Komento - without a doubt features a shorter historical past than JComments, simply because initial version was published in Might 2012, but crew powering this answer is powerful and completed a great job. Maybe which is why Komento was a single of the winners in the Community Choice Extensions inside the JED in December 2012 as a result of its effective and beneficial attributes. It utilizes the very best confirmed options from remarks sytems, furthermore, updates happen really regularly. It handles comments in K2, EasySocial, JomSocial, FlexiContent, ZOO, EasyBlog, VirtueMart, AceShop, redSHOP, Ohanah , Sobi Pro , Mosets Tree in Skilled model. When you can examine it's two edition free of charge and industrial.




Joomla 3.4 Hosting :: ASPHostPortal.com - How to Secure Joomla and Protect it Against Hacker Attacks

How to Secure Joomla and Protect it Against Hacker Attacks

As any open source application Joomla is subjected to all sorts of hacking attacks. This is why it is important to take all possible measures to protect your Joomla site and improve its security. Follow the instructions in this tutorial in order to minimize the chance to get hacked.

Step 1 Keep Joomla and its extensions up-to-date

Probably the most important part of securing your Joomla website is to keep it updated to the latest version. In almost all version releases there are fixes for security issues. For more information on how to update Joomla to the latest version.
Keeping your Joomla extensions up-to-date is equally important for the security of your website. Actually, there are more attacks that utilize security issues in extensions than in the actual Joomla core files. For more information on how to keep your Joomla components, modules and plugins up-to-date

Step 2 Use Strong Login Details

First, you should avoid using default user names like "admin" or "administrator". Those will be first in the list of words a potential attacker would try.
Next, it is important to have a strong password for your website. Many attackers try to brute-force your login details. This means that they use a list of commonly used passwords to guess yours. There are several tips that will help protect you against such attacks:

  • Don't use common words for passwords like love, god, pass, admin, admin123, etc.
  • Avoid personal information in passwords like your personal or family name.
  • Avoid password generators. Password generators use algorithms to generate the passwords which can be compromised by an attacker.
  • Use as many special characters ( *!@#)$ ), numbers and capital letters in your password as possible.

Step 3 Use Proper File Permissions & Ownership

Another important part of having a secured Joomla website is to set the right permissions for your Joomla files and folders. We recommend that you follow these suggestions for your permissions:

  • Set the permissions for your Joomla folders to 755
  • Set the permissions for your Joomla files to 644
  • Set the permissions for your configuration.php file to 444
  • Never use 777(full access) permissions!

For more information on how to change your files and folders permissions, please refer to our File Permissions Tutorial.

Step 4 Use Joomla Security Extensions

Using security extensions is another easy way to improve your Joomla website security. We have developed our own security extension (jHackGuard) that is free for download by anyone. Below you will find a list of the most popular Joomla security extensions:

  • jHackGuard
  • Akeeba Admin Tools
  • jomDefender
  • jSecure

Step 5 Often Backup your Joomla Site

It is essential to backup your Joomla site as often as possible. You should always keep a backup copy of your Joomla files and database on your local computer just in case something happens. For more information on the best Joomla backup practices.

Step 6 Protect Your Administrative Page

You can greatly improve the security of your Joomla website if you restrict the access to your admin area. First, you can password protect the /administrator folder of your site. To do this, follow the instructions in our tutorial on How to Password Protect Folders. Once you protect your /administrator folder an additional password will be required in order to see the standard administrator login form.

Next, you can restrict the access to the /administrator directory only to your IP address. If there isn't a file named ".htaccess" in the /administrator directory, create one and upload it via FTP for example, otherwise, just add the following lines at the end of the .htaccess file:

Deny from ALL
Allow from x.x.x.x

"Note that you need to replace x.x.x.x with your actual public IP address. To find out your address, you can use the What Is My IP website for example. To add multiple IPs, simply replicate the Allow from x.x.x.x command to a new line and change the address".

Important If your Internet service provider is giving you a dynamic IP address, the IP restriction option might not be suitable for you because you'll have to edit the .htaccess file each time your IP changes.

clock November 20, 2014 05:39 by author ben

How to find JavaScript conflict in Joomla?

While JavaScript are beautiful and very handy, they can also bring down a site if in conflict with each other. One can expect JavaScript conflicts to appear as more and more extensions are installed in a Joomla site. The extensions may be using different JavaScript libraries or different library versions or libraries made by different developers which can be in conflict to each other.
It is not all that difficult to rule out such conflicts and extension / template developers can be asked for help then on.

What causes JavaScript conflicts?

The different versions of Mootools library and jQuery library can make a lot of JavaScript conflicts. Event when you use the same libraries versions but those libraries made by different developers (i.e jQuery and Mootools conflict), JavaScript conflict can also occur.

Here is a case study:

  • Template A loads Mootools library version 1.5.0
  • Plugin B loads own Mootools library version 1.2.6
  • Module C loads jQuery library version 1.11
  • Component D loads jQuery library version 2.1.1

An other cause of JavaScript conflict is browser, some non-standard browsers handle JavaScript and the browser's JavaScript conflicts with JavaScript loaded from your site.

How to detect JavaScript conflicts?

So when your site is not working as expected, one should rule out conflicts. But how to check and find the JavaScript conflict?

"The ANSWER is checking the JavaScript console".

There are multiple ways to do it based on browsers. For example, in Firefox and Chrome, the available tools are Firebug, Web Developer toolbar, Debugger, Error Console, etc.
If your site has JavaScript error, the tools will provide you error messages that will help you to figure out the problem and zero in on the extension / feature of website causing this problem. The error message also gets you the names of file in conflicts.

You can detect the problem by checking which extensions cause the problem, here are the steps:

  • Switching to default Joomla template and disable your installed extensions then reload your site and check if the JavaScript error still exist or not.
  • Publish your installed extensions one by one and reload your site. Repeat the process until you discover which parts are in conflict.

How to resolve JavaScript conflicts?

There is no universal step to resolve JavaScript conflict as it varies from case to case and are best resolved by the developers. But here are few things that you can try:

  • Put jQuerry into no-conflict mode

The jQuery library and all of its plugins are contained within the jQuery namespace. Global objects are stored inside the jQuery namespace, by the way so you shouldn't get a clash between jQuery and any other library such as prototype.js, MooTools.

  • Putting jQuery in no-conflict mode immediately after it is loaded onto the page and before you attempt to use jQuery in the page.

<!-- Another way to put jQuery into no-conflict mode. -->
<script src="/prototype.js"></script>
<script src="/jquery.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery( document ).ready(function( $ ) {
    // You can use the locally-scoped $ in here as an alias to jQuery.
    $( "div" ).hide();
});
// The $ variable in the global scope has the prototype.js meaning.
window.onload = function(){
    var mainDiv = $( "main" );
}
</script>

Ask for help from extension provider

If you can not resolve the JavaScript conflict by yourselves, you can search for solutions on internet, ask on forums or ask for support of the extension provider for solution.

My site has different issues?

JavaScript conflict is just one error type, errors can also be produced by PHP, SQL, etc. You can detect those errors using Joomla error reporting, follow THIS LINK for more details.

Each of the function proposals for Joomla 3.4 had been submitted by May 28, 2014 and also the release-candidate version should be accessible and originally this was scheduled for release by 30 July 2014, nevertheless it appears that there are some delays keeping items back again.

Joomla 3.4 Features

Joomla 3.4 concentrates on four main new features, even though most average users will only have the opportunity to notice 3 of these. The primary concept of this release is not to increase Joomla, but to begin the transition towards the new release cycle and provide main advancements within the Joomla package.

Joomla 3.4 De-couple weblinks from new installs.

This is the initial step in de-coupling parts from Joomla. At present Joomla consists of numerous parts out of the box, numerous of that are not always needed by the common user. Since these further CMS elements incorporate extra bodyweight to the Joomla package deal, but aren’t necessarily set to any use, then they serve to make the general bundle heavier than it needs to be. Weblinks is a great instance of the issue, and so from Joomla 3.4 com_weblinks and all connected modules and plugins will probably be removed from the Joomla set up package. It is a excellent initial step in creating Joomla more user-friendly and making the package deal lighter.

But really don't worry in case your a admirer from the weblinks element; it'll be still accessible for use within your Joomla set up, just not integrated within the main. Rather, it'll have an installable bundle like your typical Joomla extension. The GitHub undertaking is presently created and every part faraway from the main will probably be available in its very own repository in the Joomla undertaking. What is more, weblinks must even be additional for the JED (Joomla Extension Directory) in a new category for eliminated Joomla elements, such as any taken out later on. This additional step is likely to make it easy for user who nevertheless need the performance from the taken out parts to get them set up and running with merely a simply click in the Joomla administrator region.

Joomla 3.4 Ongoing Microdata Implementation

Microdata in Joomla was introduced using the release of 3.2, and Joomla 3.4 will carry on applying this function in Joomla’s core layouts. Since Joomla! 3.2 microdata has been accessible in many in the well-known main parts like com_content and com_contact so it’s likely that these functions will be added towards the few components that don’t however have it. You'll be able to read up on microdata and why it is essential for keeping your content comprehensible not simply for your customers, but for devices such as the Google Search bot to aid enhance your standing in research engines.

Joomla 3.4 Front-end Module Modifying

The title says all of it concerning this new feature. In Joomla! 3.2 you could have noticed small ‘edit’ icons showing up in each module whenever you are logged in around the front-end; clicking them would redirect you to definitely the module configuration page inside the back-end. Joomla 3.4 will modify this behaviour to allow you to modify modules with out the necessity to entry the administrator location, which will be an easier answer for beginners. This characteristic may also be useful if you don’t wish to share administrator accessibility with customers who need to have use of module configuration. With this particular change and the default ACL (Access Manage Listing) functions combined, Joomla will be able to provide almost limitless manage more than who accesses your site, and what they can perform.

Joomla 3.4 Composer Integration

This feature won't be of any fascination to non-developers, but it is nonetheless a thing that developers will definitely value. In brief, it’s large improvement for handling exterior dependencies in Joomla such as the Joomla! Framework and PHPMailer, but absolutely nothing that will be visible for a normal Joomla consumer.

Success for us is something that is continually experienced, not something that is reached. For us it is all about the experience – more than the journey. Life is a continual experience. We see the Internet as being an incredible amplifier to the experience of life for all of us. It can help humanity come together to explode in knowledge exploration and discussion. It is continual enlightenment of new ideas, experiences, and passions
