I really dig the new joomla template, But I would like to change the top part of the template at the moment the default code is this templates/<?php echo $this->template ?>/images/logo.png countModules('topmenu')): ?> If you look at my diagram this is how I would like my top part to look I've got zero idea on how to code this and was wondering if someone could help me out? lots of rep for those that help... cheers

thanks for the heads up

had a job interview once. on paper the job was completely diffrent/poor;y described to what they wanted. In the end I cam second, but I would not have taken he job had it been offered to me as it had limitations in moving further. It was a technician job for a local college to look after the IT department and not the whole school. the college already had a managed service profided by fijitsui people, who looked like tey just sat on a comfortable couch playing with laptops. not my cup of tea.

cheers, yeah I use dstools alot, I did a dsquery first to drag user ad path and names and then used that info in a excel spreadsheet to set the passwords. we keep a spreadsheet of all username and passwords in the school. its something the school has always done since I started. Im trying to et everything AD integrated for the school so we dont have to create accounts for everything that requires a login. so far so good, but to force staff and students to use a unique username and password has proved successfull here. we dont get jobs to retireve deleted work any more for students. pluss we can also do spot checks on everyone on the mymail system to make sure its been used propperly.

think I need to change my name to numpty.... dos_bos would you like to do the honours!! edugeek rocks man!!

just created a test account, and tried tha password in " and its worked thank you guys for the quick responce.... and I will also take a look at the 2 apps tomorrow for future refrence!!!! Im happy again!! Just need to go and send this out to the whole school again.

in "&h6j37dj6" or '&h6j37dj6' no which one, I don't wish to screw things any more lol

Will play either tomorrow or over the weekend

typical example line dsmod user "CN=joe bloggs, OU=Year Intake 2005, OU=Students, DC=myschool, DC=LOCAL" -pwd &h6j37dj6

wish I had tested the & sysmbol...... stupid school boy error, I really dont fancy changing 134 pupil passwords manually. I would take a good hour to do ..... idiot.. stupid blooming daft ignorant idiot!!!!

I installed a sharepoint server over the holidays and as part of the risk assesment we decided to go from medium passwords to strong. we have added an additional characeter to the 8 character password by using either $ % or & passwords with $ and % have succeeded but passwords with the & have failed on closer look at the results I noticed where a password with the & a space was included what it should be e.g &h6j37dj6 instaed dsmod has tried to do this & h6j37dj6 is the a way to stop this from happening so I can complete the password reset? cheers stupid I know!

nice one for been considered how did you manage to get noticed to be approched?

stabin the dark profile issue?

during a demo of CC4 the managemnt interface crashed creating a user. that says alot imo when its on one machine and its not supporting more than 100 machines. not a great selling point. and in comparison it is a great deal more expensive to go for compared to other products. and you will find this out when you get your quotes in. we have to get a minimum of 3 qoutes in when we spend over X amount of £££££.

this thread talks about this topic http://www.edugeek.net/forums/how-do-you-do/26570-truecrypt-container-mode.html

Hi gang, I was asked at the last second today to create a powerpoint presentation for a BSF meeting, I'm not to use the usual template but to create one. I had an idea in mind so I created a banner with the school logo. Soon as I drop it in to powerpoint and resize it suddenly looks rubbish. is a the any rules I need to follow or a certain resolution, size I need to set them to before droping images into powerpoint? cheers

now that it has hit our region, and seen the plans for the new school, I'm starting to get concerened about what will happen to us IT support people. the plans for the school were shown to both public and teahing staff this week. looking at the plans our school will go through a mixture of remodelling, and rebuild. One thing I did notice on the plan was a server room. I spoke to the arcetectures about the build and asked them if they knew what would happen to the IT support role, as the SMT have not shared any information with me. They said I needed to speak to people who have been TUPE'd and to find out from their experiences what I should expect to happen. Now after reading many threads I have had mixt feelings about this whole BSF, TUPE'd stuff. I've felt angry, anctious, and confused. For the first time I told my gf what was happening and my thoughts on the situation and she said to find out as much as possible and read up on this TUPE stuff. after reflecting on the situation I've decided to try and look at this from a posotive angle and try and prepare my self for when it all starts. its another 2 year before the construction begins so I've decided to do the following by wanting to ask soe questions and my plan to the solution what is TUPE exactly? Will my pension be protected? (I will be going in to my 6th year at the school this September) what job roles are on offer? whats do these BSF server farms consist of in termes of hardware/ software/ and technology Because I have 2 years to hopefully bring my self up to BSF scratch and have chance at keeping a job in IT I plan to do the fillowing. complete all the server 2008 exams (completed the AD exam last month) windows 7 exam Study and complete apple server and mac exams look into cashles canteen systems record anything I do that is of majour improtance and update my CV Create an online CV website about myself. improve my photshop and web development skills. management course Its alot to do in 2 year but im bl**dy determined to make sure I'm employablewhen the time comes. I've already completed the following A+, N+, S+ MCSE 2003 cheers
