I found that I missed adding relevant code above that section. There was a PHP "if" that was generating a module count for the footer and copyright positions so I added an "or" for the footer1 position and now the module displays but I have another issue. Modules that I add to the new footer1 are displayed in the footer1 AND the footer position. I've double and triple checked the code I added and I'm not seeing anything that looks like it needs to be changed but obviously there is something :| Any ideas?

See www.joomlanyc.org for more detailed directions. The theme for this month is Joomla 1.7. As we all know, Joomla is on an upgrade path that will end in early 2012 with the release of Joomla 2.5. During this period, components and modules are being upgraded and improved, and new ones are being introduced. Joomla's back-end has gone through some major changes. We are going to share our experiences with Joomla 1.7. Please bring your experiences and questions. Even if you continue to use Joomla 1.5 and haven't a chance to test Joomla 1.7, please join us and get a taste of the future of Joomla. We will also have the lightening round where you can question our team of Joomla experts. It is also the last monthly meeting before Joomla Day NYC, Oct. 22 and Oct. 23. It would be good if all the volunteers showed up to touch base with J-Day organizers Laura Gordon and Scott Wolpow. Hope to see everyone on Thursday night.

This month's theme is Joomla 1.7. Come and share your experiences. I also want to remind everyone that the year is quickly coming to a close, which means Joomla NYC board of director nominations. We will discuss this briefly at the meeting. If you are interested in becoming a board member, please attend the meeting or contact me. We have not set the date for nominations and elections yet, but we are interested in knowing who is interested. Being on the board of Joomla NYC is a great opportunity to make new friends and help promote this great open source CMS. I have had a great time serving as president. Hope to see everyone tomorrow.

Twitter is the ultimate communication tool. Think email news on steriods! Originally, I created my personal Twitter account in 2009, but didn't really understand the power of Twitter until this past May when I got into a conversation with a social media marketer at my local Starbucks. After a five-minute overview, I am now a Twitter addict and follow 260+ accounts, ranging from @FinancialTimes, @NewYorker and @SherylCrow to @KyleLedbetter and @JoomlaWorks. The first thing I do in the morning is check my Twitter account. Then throughout the day, I monitor Twitter on various computers and my Android phone. I have found Twitter to be a great way to follow the Joomla community and learn about the latest in updates, components, modules and templates. This is my list - in no particular order - of "must follow" Joomla Twitter accounts. Feel free to add to chime in and share your favorites. @joomla @JoomlaNYC (Joomla New York City users group - natch!) @BrianTeeman (one of the founders of Joomla) @JoomlaWorks (K2 and other products) @sigsu_net (makers of Sobi2 and SobiPro directories) @sobipro (directory extension) @jen4web (trainer and author Jen Kramer) @elinwaring (our local Joomla guru) @jlleblanc (programmer Joe LeBlanc) @k2joom (K2 theme developer) @akeebabackup (popular backup program) @betweenbrain (developer Matt Thomas) @kyleledbetter (designer and developer behind AdminPraise and ProjectFork) @yootheme (theme developer) @joomlabamboo (theme developer) @joomlapraise (theme developer) @joomlatips (tips and tricks) @rockettheme (theme developer) @corywebb (trainer, author, developer) @stackideas (extensions) @virtuemart (e-commerce extension) @alledia (trainer, author Steve Burge of JoomlaTraining.com) @joomlablogger (news and blog) @joomlashack (extensions, themes, training and author Barry North) @andreweddie (master Joomla developer) @kunena (forum component) @jomsocial (social media component) @joomlapolis (Community Builder extension) @dioscouri (makers of Tienda and other fine products) @osmatters (overseer of Joomla trademark and open source license) @cozimek (Ryan Ozimek, president of Open Source Matters) @rsjoomla (makers of RSForms, RSBlog, etc. extensions) So do me a favor and join @joomlanyc . You will get plenty of news and meeting reminders, although we will continue to use the Joomla NYC mailing list too. Have a great weekend! And I look forward to seeing everyone at Joomla Day NYC Weekend next week. - - - Steve -- Stephen Britton Technology Consultant sbritton at gmail.com Twitter: @StephenBritton ph: 914-661-0040 "The most important thing that I learned from Steve is to always follow your heart.

Please let's not forget about Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/NYC-Joomla-Users-Group/132691140128290 We set up a page and I would like to encourage members to use it. These days I rarely visit a site other than what I find posted on feeds from Twitter and Facebook. We are using this extensively at the UN for communications. I find it a perfect solution to remind people to attend events and meetings. I follow many developers on Facebook and Twitter and keep up to date with feeds from my phone. I hope NYC Jug will make better use out of social media moving forward. thanks - Bill On Sun, Oct 16, 2011 at 12:00 PM, wrote: > Send joomla mailing list submissions to > joomla at lists.nyphp.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/joomla > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > joomla-request at lists.nyphp.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > joomla-owner at lists.nyphp.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of joomla digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

There were so many happy people and the three days went too quickly. It was impressive that many people traveled so far to attend. There were attendees from Seattle, L.A., Portland, Austin, Brazil, England, France, Australia, Winnipeg, etc. It was neat to hear the various British accents and people speaking in Portuguese, German and French, which made it a true international event. I also want to thank our friends at Microsoft for letting us use their offices and for sponsoring the Saturday evening party at House of Brews. It was also great to meet the people behind the extensions - JFBConnect, JEvents, SimpleCaddy, etc. and compare notes with Joomla "Rock Stars," like Kyle Ledbetter of Admin Praise, and Matt Thomas of the Construct Framework. I heard many people say nice things, including how they want to come back to New York next year. Many, many thanks to Laura and Scott. Also thanks to: Marian Toni Donna Bill Ryan Fred Sherene Sebastian And all the others who helped make this event a success. I also want to invite those interested in joining the board of directors of Joomla NYC to attend the next board meeting on Thursday Nov. 11. As we have previously announced, all those who want to become board members - and current board members - have to read a one paragraph statement on why they want to be on the board. It you cannot attend the November meeting, please ask a friend to read your paragraph or you can email it to me and I will read it for you. Being on the board of Joomla NYC requires dedication and the willingness to volunteer and help others. It is often a thankless job and involves providing professional quality work without pay. You may have to lug cases of bottled water, clean conference rooms after meetings, and occasionally hear unwarranted criticism from crazy people. On the positive side, being on the board can be very rewarding. You make new friends, get possible job referrals, and have another item to add to your resume/website that says you are contributing the community. My favorite reward is the feeling that comes from helping people, solving problems, and improving the lives of others. We also expect board members to do the following: * Attend the monthly NY JUG meetings. The meeting is the second Thursday of the month. We are well aware that some folks have job commitments or have to take off summer months. But it would be great if board members could attend at least five to six monthly meetings per year to be aware of what is going on. * Volunteer to help plan and work at the two annual events - Joomla Day NYC Weekend and JoomlaCamp NYC. We need to start planning both events for 2012 ASAP. * Take part in occasional board meetings. These are usually conference calls, but sometimes we hold in-person meetings. * Contribute your knowledge and help others. You should know Joomla well enough to provide basic support. It is also a big plus if you have other technical, business knowledge and life experiences that you can share. * Chair at least one meeting per year. This involves getting one or more speakers to present at the monthly meeting. You can present and/or find others to present. The presentation can be anything Joomla related, from demonstrating a module or componenet to showing how to modify a form or template and discuss Joomla's many features. Also remember that you do not have to be a board member to volunteer. We could not put on these events and monthly meetings if it was not for so many devoted Joomlers who participate in Joomla NYC. I look forward to seeing everyone at the November meeting and to start planning Joomla Day NYC Weekend 2012.

The post is about how some developers will take on any job regardless of their experience, promise the client the world and yet, have no idea what they are doing. As a result, the client often suffers and in many cases incorrectly blames the CMS when they should blame the developer. I have found this to be true with not only Joomla, but with WordPress and Drupal as well. The best way to handle a situation like this, where a potential client wants a site that is beyond your ability, is to contact your fellow members at Joomla NYC. Don't try to do it all and above all, be honest with the client. Never promise what you cannot do. http://www.compassdesigns.net/joomla-blog/how-can-joomla-ensure-that-quality-support-is-available-to-clients -- Stephen Britton Technology Consultant sbritton at gmail.com Twitter: @StephenBritton ph: 914-661-0040 "The most important thing that I learned from Steve is to always follow your heart.

If user submits data and their session has timed out, they would have to re-enter everything.? I assume this plugin would solve that problem by keeping user's session alive for as long as they needed to complete the form and submit? ________________________________ From: Gotham Websites To: joomla at lists.nyphp.org Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2011 2:57 PM Subject: [joomla] New Stay Open plugin Just uploaded our new and improved Stay Open Plugin to the Joomla extensions directory: ?http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/administration/admin-interface/8690?.?

Based Websites Message-ID: <1320008953.84983.YahooMailClassic@web161405.mail.bf1.yahoo.com> A question for those who are developers/designers and who maintain client sites and provide hosting: I have the option of taking on a group of Joomla! sites that have maintenance contracts. For a monthly fee, the expectation is that updates will be applied to the core and installed extensions, client questions will be answered, and that the sites will be hosted in a best practices manner including applicable security measures, whether that's on a VPS or in a shared hosting environment. My question is - what are your solutions for systems administration? If you build Joomla sites as a designer or developer, how do you manage system administration for your long term support? Do you do it yourself, hire someone with a system administration background? If you hire someone for sys admin, have you ever done that through Elance, Odesk, etc.? I wouldn't need a full time person. My main concerns are moving the sites over from where they are to a new environment, creating an easy way to create a cloned dev environment for each site that can easily be pushed live (for testing extension and core upgrades), possibly creating an extension upgrade process that will work on multiple sites at once (one click upgrades JCE, for example, on 6 sites), and an initial security audit and ongoing security maintenance. I use akeeba backup and can backup and recreate sites, but I am looking for a better/more automated way to manage dev environments. Thanks
