JoomlaFrontpage350

While i was updating one of my server website how is running Joomla 1.0 i change the server from a Windows to a Unix server system.

  • Very important YOU HAVE TO BACK UP ALL YOUR FILES AND THE DATABASE

When i receive the new login, i uploaded all my files but i had this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{’ in /web/htdocs/MYWEBSITE/home/configuration.php on line 1

To solve this problem you just have to:

  1. Delete from the server the “configuration.php” files
  2. Download the full package the last Joomla 1.0 version () i found that here: http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/frs/?action=FrsReleaseView&release_id=6828
  3. Of course extract the dir
  4. Upload on the server the “configuration.php-dist” file and the “installation” directory
  5. Refresh the browser, and start the installation
  6. Before the installation start go to your mysql manager and (JUST AFTER BACKUP IT) delete the old table
  7. Procede with the istallation.. (host, user, pass, db name…)
  8. When the website is running again (and you delete the installation directory) back to your mysql admin and delete the new database and import the old one..

Done..

Print adverts need to get a message across with a single image and without the recourse of interactivity that we find today on the Internet.

As interactive media expands, attention spans are getting shorter and shorter every day.

For any company trying to get their product or service out in print format, the task is ever more challenging and difficult.

Humorous ads remain one of the few effective ways to engage an audience in a very saturated advertising market. This is an area where the audience is far more receptive and still willing to pay attention.

In this post, we’ve gathered 40 hilarious and really creative ads for your enjoyment…

It is the second time that my brother, left me his Acer Aspire One ZG5 because the screen was not working, and he complained because his computer was dead.

Acer Aspire One Screen not working - Reboot BIOS

Acer Aspire One Screen not working - Reboot BIOS

Like last time I started to search (or better google) the most common keyword I could think typing stuff like:

  • “Acer Aspire One ZG5 screen not working”
  • “Acer Aspire One ZG5 screen black”
  • “Acer Aspire One ZG5 BIOS PROBLEM”
  • “Acer Aspire One ZG5 don’t start”

A i believe if you are reading this post you’ve done the same…

Like me you’ll probably start to read 1000 of blogs with many information but most of the time are wrong or incomplete.

I’m writing this post to all those who have the same (common) problem, I hope this post will be much useful for you.


How fix your Acer Aspire One ZG5

First of all you’ll need:

  • a working windows computer (apologies for all the mac people, but you need a window friend!)
  • a usb key
  • the lastest version of version zg5ia32.fd (click here Download)

Once you have all those you have to:

from http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/08/acer-aspire-one-bios-recovery.html

The AA1 has a built-in BIOS recovery routine, making it possible to flash the BIOS even if the system doesn’t boot anymore. It’s only meant for emergencies and may void your warranty, so use at your own risk.

Follow every step carefully!

First format an USB stick with FAT.

Download the latest BIOS, and put both FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file in the root directory of the stick. Rename the BIOS file to ZG5IA32.FD, that’s important. Do not remove the USB stick.

Turn the AA1 off, make sure both battery and AC adapter are connected. Press Fn+Esc, keep it pressed and press the power button to turn the AA1 on. Release Fn+Esc after a few seconds, the power button will be blinking. Press the power button once. The AA1 will now initiate the BIOS flash, do not interrupt it under any circumstances. After a while the power button will stop blinking, and the AA1 will reboot shortly after. Wait patiently.

The BIOS has been flashed and all settings reset to default.

If for some reason you made a mistake during the procedure and it doesn’t reboot by itself wait 5 minutes before turning it off, just to be safe that it isn’t still flashing the BIOS.

Also a must see Video:

Also I found this great video on youtube about how fix your Acer Aspire One ZG5.

It is quite funny because it features a very buy voice in the background the video is the best:

ie6All the web developer will agree with me saying that Internet Explorer is always the difficult browser from all the designer with.

A good web designer should test anything before resided on web with all the most recent browser (firefox safari crome opera… ect..)
and of course he should check in Internet Explorer in all the version.

While the modern (and much better) browser like firefox, crome, safari try to let you install all the times the new version, and with new version means a version that improve but still respect the HTML and CSS reading.
IE is popular for complete different view of the page for a different version of the Browser

IE in the last few years release different version of the browser, most popular IE6, IE7 and IE8, but the are complete different each other in displaying a page.

The biggest different in the different version are stuff like:

  • margin and padding (especially in list like UL, OL  and DL)
  • Alignment
  • Position
  • Float

So is a good trick to create a separate CSS for IE6 and most of the times for IE7 as well

to do that you just create a now css file and in the <head> tag specify a condition:
<!–[if IE]>
According to the conditional comment this is Internet Explorer
<![endif]–>
<!–[if IE 6]>
According to the conditional comment this is Internet Explorer 6
<![endif]–>
<!–[if IE 6]>
According to the conditional comment this is Internet Explorer 6
<![endif]–>
<!–[if IE 7]>
According to the conditional comment this is Internet Explorer 7
<![endif]–>
<!–[if gte IE 5]>
According to the conditional comment this is Internet Explorer 5 and up
<![endif]–>
<!–[if lt IE 8]>
According to the conditional comment this is Internet Explorer lower than 8
<![endif]–>
<!–[if lte IE 5.5]>
According to the conditional comment this is Internet Explorer lower or equal to 5.5
<![endif]–>
<!–[if gt IE 6]>
According to the conditional comment this is Internet Explorer greater than 6
<![endif]–>

Some designer check for IE5, but i believe is to small the percent how still does have this browser.
But how think IE 6 is not so common any more just check these data:
