I know that it's bee a while since this post, but I'm having the same problem and am looking for solutions. These errors are generating gargantuan log files that are fouling up my automated backup setup. Specifically, I see these errors: # PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant _ISO - assumed '_ISO' in ...\templates\eg_default1.5\index.php on line 4 # PHP Notice: Undefined property: JDocumentHTML::$url in ...\templates\eg_default1.5\index.php on line 35 # PHP Notice: Undefined variable: user1 in ...\templates\eg_default1.5\index.php on line 72 # PHP Notice: Undefined variable: user7 in ...\templates\eg_default1.5\index.php on line 88 # PHP Notice: Undefined variable: user8 in ...\templates\eg_default1.5\index.php on line 96 Has anyone input on this? Many thanks, Jeff

Hi, You can manage the icons in the editor according to which JCE user group a user is in. Have a look under Components>JCE Administration>Groups. Then click on the default group. You will see a tab that says "Layout." If you open that tab, you'll see that you can add, remove, and rearrange icons. Also, you can create more groups and customize that group's tools. I have done this to simplify the tools available for some editors who are bothered by all of the tools. Here's a nice article that explains some JCE features. I hope that this helps, Jeff

I think that the problem may be that the Edugeek package is a full Joomla installation, not just a template. If I am wrong, I apologize. Jeff

Have you tried disabling the Flash Uploader in Global Config>Settings (bottom of page)? This is what I had to do Jeff

You do this by creating a menu item in the main menu. Then, in the Parent Item setting, select the item in the main menu that you wish it to be under. Make sense? Jeff

Greetings! I am very appreciative of how the members here have shared the Joomla package, tips, tricks, and help with me. I would like to give something back. I have a number of Google Wave invites that I'll gladly share with you. Just post a comment on this thread. I'll get an invite out to you as soon as I can. Merry Christmas and happy New Year! Jeff

Hello, My aplogies if this has already been covered.... Something that has been bothering me for a while but haven't had time to solve - until now. In the file index.php of eg_default, it is supposed to call the site name and insert it into the copyright notice. It has code for J! 1.0 ; to solve this, replace the variable in line 91: Remove: $mosconfig_sitename Replace it with: $mainframe->getCfg('sitename') Your site name will appear in the copyright notice. Cheers, Jeff

Well, it works nicely and I thank you. I have been asked to set up pages for teachers to post assignments and make announcements. Generally, I try to point people to Moodle to do that and a whole lot more. But, your module plays a key role in this. I am using it in conjunction with JUGA, the first commercial extension that I have ever purchased. It is a nice ACL solution. Now, I can create a page for each teacher who wishes to have one, Set editing rights so that only they can edit their articles, and set up an AutoSimpleMenu on the teacher's "home page" that generates links to all of the pages that they create I am only wishing to ind a way to set the module to publish on every page in the teacher's category and, do this automatically.:)Thanks again! Jeff

Thanks for this......I am testing the waters with regard to allowing more contributors of articles to our sites. This extension saves me a great deal of time as I don't have to create menu items for each new article. Many thanks....... Jeff

Do you mean that you see a red cross under the compatibility column? If so, the template may be for Joomla 1.0 and not compatible with Joomla 1.5.

Sorry. I was incorrect. Have a look at suffix.css. Jeff

There are some who visit the forum who are far more knowledgeable than I. But, I believe that you need to edit the template.css file that is located in the directory of the template that you have set as default template. Example: \templates\axe_rescheek_blue\css\template.css Make sense? Jeff

This excerpt from a book should help: Customizing the Menus Menu in Joomla! with the menu arrangement. Changing the font size will require editing the template css. Jeff

Look under Menus>Main Menu. Edit the Home link. Look in Parameters(System). You will see where you can change this. Jeff

I know that I am late in commenting, but I am just now thinking about setting MRBS and LDAP. When I set up my Joomla site to authenticate using LDAP, I had a white screen when LDAP was not enabled in php config and the proper dll file was not installed. Perhaps that is your issue? Or have you already solved this? Jeff

I agree. Student/Teacher error is a concern. Where can I go to view bounced emails?

Sorry.....Wasn't clear. We do not have email addresses in AD, so I am thinking that I won't set Moodle to retrieve an email address when an account is created. Rather, I think that I will leave it unlocked, have students enter dummy email address, and have them set it to be disabled. By changing the Email change confirmation setting to not send a confirmation, won't this eliminate bounced emails? And if the student sets the dummy email to disabled, notification emails won't be sent to that address, correct?

Student would designate it as disabled.

Emails are sent to addresses that are set to disabled? Also, where can I see the bounced emails? Thanks, Jeff

Not sure if this will help, but I found this setting under Security>SitePolicies. There is an Email Change Confirmation setting. By un-checking the box, email addresses can be changed without Moodle sending a confirmation email. Thus, students could enter dummy email addresses, set them as disabled, and Moodle will not send confirmation email to the dummy address, which of course would bounce. Not a perfect solution as I can't find a way to make the email field blank or set Moodle to not require one. And, it does require that the student enter at least a fake email and designate it as disabled. There will most certainly be students who don't follow directions and set their email as disabled. Looking now for account creation settings. I am thinking that email could be set to disabled by default and would need to be manually enabled by students who have an email account somewhere. Any thoughts?

But the problem is that Moodle, when a new user first logs in using LDAP, asks the new user to enter information into their account. This includes email address. And yes, it can be set to disabled. But Moodle still tries to send a confirmation email to the fake address and states this to the user. After this, the site can be browsed. If the AD email field is filled in with the fake address, the LDAP settings for email are set to contain the word mail, and locked then the dummy email is automatically imported through LDAP when the account is created. It cannot be changed by students, however.

I see the commands for creating the table in this file: com_phocagallery_v2.5.5\controllers\phocagalleryinstall.php Line 29: DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `#__phocagallery_categories`; Line 30: CREATE TABLE `#__phocagallery_categories` ( Line 144: -- ALTER TABLE `#__phocagallery_categories` ADD `hits` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' AFTER `count` ; Line 151: -- ALTER TABLE `#__phocagallery_categories` ADD `date` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00' AFTER `description` ; Line 154: -- ALTER TABLE `#__phocagallery_categories` ADD `geotitle` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '' AFTER `hits` ; Line 155: -- ALTER TABLE `#__phocagallery_categories` ADD `zoom` int(3) NOT NULL default '0' AFTER `hits` ; Line 156: -- ALTER TABLE `#__phocagallery_categories` ADD `longitude` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '' AFTER `hits` ; Line 157: -- ALTER TABLE `#__phocagallery_categories` ADD `latitude` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '' AFTER `hits` ; Line 158: -- ALTER TABLE `#__phocagallery_categories` ADD `deleteuserid` text AFTER `hits` ; Line 159: -- ALTER TABLE `#__phocagallery_categories` ADD `uploaduserid` text AFTER `hits` ; Line 160: -- ALTER TABLE `#__phocagallery_categories` ADD `accessuserid` text AFTER `hits` ; Jeff

I have just set up LDAP for Moodle and am looking for a solution to the same issue. In the past, I used a CSV file and imported students using dummy emails and set as disabled. The way that our AD is set up, Staff are on a domain that is separate from students. Thus we cannot use LDAP to authenticate all. We now have students authenticating via LDAP and staff using email based self-creation. But to limit unwanted account creation, I configured it to restrict account creation to the teacher domain. This works nicely for them. But now, when students log in for the first time, they see a screen that asks them to tell more about themselves. This screen requires an email address. I will share a solution if I find one. Jeff

There is likely a better way, but here is what I do. I use the numbers to re-order items, then click on the little disk icon to save the new order. I think that the system does allow duplicate ordering numbers. I don't know how this works, but using the numbers gets things in the correct neighborhood, then I use the arrows to make final adjustments if necessary. I hope that this helps.... Jeff

Hi, You have to set which modules appear for a given menu item. In the module manager, select the module that you wish to have appear. You will see a list of existing menus and menu items. Choose one or more menu items on which you would like the module to appear. I hope this helps. Jeff
