Calendar Stamp is a plugin that will display the article's date in a nice way beside the title in Joomla!1.5 . Two months ago I planned to modify existing plugin by Tomasz Dobrzynsk but later I decided to write my own plugin.

Calendar Stamp comes with one template and 12 colors to choose what suits your website.

I always wanted to open a tutorials section on my website. I am happy to announce the opening of Alfy Tutorials! A new section will be hosting tutorials for using, hacking and extending Joomla!

I already posted one tutorial so far and I have a plan for a few articles to write. However if you have a particular question or would like to see some topic covered contact me.

Have a nice day

Today I found a way to run IE6 on Windows Vista using a virtual technique by Xenocode. No installation is needed just download and run!

Xenocode also offer different package for other major browsers like IE7, IE8, Chrome, Safari and Opera. Check out the browser sandbox!

Have a nice day. For me pain just started with debugging for IE6 again!

During the migration of my 3 years old Joomla!1.0 website to 1.5 something weird happened just before launcing the new site. All the data on the column "fulltext" from the table "jos_content" was lost and I couldn't identify the cause. Everything was ready and I discovered accidentaly.

Note to self -> Backup Frequently!!

To fix that I exported the "id" and "fulltext" from my old Joomla!1.0 from the database, created a new table in the new Jooml1.5 with the data from the old site and updated the data between the 2 tables. using this:

UPDATE jos_content a SET `fulltext` = (SELECT `fulltext` from jos_content_old b where a.id = b.id);
