Most of the time when we are working with a Joomla site we tend to switch off the display of the Created, Last Updated, Category and other info which can be displayed as it’s just not necessary. Every now and again, however, we display the creation date, for example if we are using the Article Manager to display news items and want their associated dates to be shown.
What you might have noticed is that if you choose to display any of these items you’ll get the word Details appearing just above them and whilst there may be times that this is retained, nine times out of ten for us we would rather remove it. Whilst this can be done by just creating a template override and removing the line which contains the COM_CONTENT_ARTICLE_INFO variable, there’s an easier and non-technical way to go about it using Joomla 2.5’s Language Manager.
This will create a language override which gets rids of that Details word from displaying quickly and easily and without the need for any template overrides!

On shared hosting/VPN or cloud if you’d like to increase the default max file upload size from 10M check our the below
You need to set the value of upload_max_filesize and post_max_size in your php.ini (in the example below 40M is what I’ve set the max upload to, however you can change to whatever you’d like eg. 100M etc.):
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files. upload_max_filesize = 40M ; Must be greater than or equal to upload_max_filesize post_max_size = 40M Or in the cursed .htaccess filephp_value upload_max_filesize 40Mphp_value post_max_size 40M
Happy uploading ....

Testing, Testing, Testing – the dreaded curse of software development. From case scenarios to pass/fail – from white box to black box I get bored with repetitive tasks. However, it’s important and for QA (ISO and CMMI) it’s essential.
So for testing we need test data – I usually run out of names or data so have check out http://www.generatedata.com/ that generates pretty accurate demo/sample/test data for use in testing. It also exports to popular formats like HTML/Excel/SQL/XML so you can actually import it directly and continue testing. Pretty cool site check it out.
Happy testing ….. (NOT!)
So … I got a bluetooth headset that was damaged – the earphone wires were pulled out – so got them soldered back and all was good – however I couldn’t get the device in paired mode. The version I had was the version 1.0 version. This solved my problem.
Step 1:
Turn the device off – hold the power button for about 5 seconds until the blue ring light stops flashing … wait a while.
Step 2:
Hold the power button down for about 10 seconds – the ring light will flash red – device is now in discoverable mode.
Step 3:
On your mobile device (iPhone) for me – Settings > Bluetooth > Search – it should pickup Headset. Click on pair
Step 4:
The passkey code is ‘0000’ thats zero, zero, zero, zero – paired and you’re done.
The manual can be downloaded from here
Cutting drywall (also known as plasterboard or sheetrock) is a stepped process of cutting-breaking-cutting three layers of material (paper-gypsum-paper)
So the project was simple – we needed two more shelves in a cupboard – I was thinking about wood, cutting etc. however we then found a piece of gypsum board lying around – the below guide was easy to cut and install.
Measure the length and width of the area where the sheetrock will go.
Measure carefully and draw reference marks on the new sheet of sheetrock.
Use a straight edge (one that is at least as long as the cut) and place it on the sheetrock, lined up with your reference marks.
Using a sheetrock knife (or a utility knife), make the first cut. Try to cut through the paper layer, but don’t go too deep into the sheetrock. Make sure to cut the full length.
It is unnecessary to cut deeper than just the paper- it will only dull the blade.You need only to cut through the paper and it will break very easily at the cut.
Turn the sheet over and bend the smaller part of the sheetrock up, to about a 90 degree angle. This will break the remaining sheetrock.
