After upgrading to PrestaShop 1.5.3 (and 1.5.4) the subcategories where not showing up anymore in the categories block. The solution was quite simple:
Just deinstall the categories block in the modules section and then install it again. After reinstalling, it will probably be necessary to adjust the block position.
When using list items in HTML to create a horizontal list (for example in a horizontal menu) you need to display the list items not vertically which is standard, but horizontally. You will probably also want to remove the bullet. This is how you do it.
To display the list horizontally, use CSS display: inline
To remove the list item bullet, use CSS list-style: none
Example:
<ul>
<li style="display: inline; list-style: none;">Menu item 1</li>
<li style="display: inline; list-style: none;">Menu item 2</li>
<li style="display: inline; list-style: none;">Menu item 3</li>
</ul>
Of course, the above is just to illustrate the technique. In a real world scenario this would be applied through a CSS class or id.
Sometimes you have a need to prohibit a visitor from clicking on a link on your site. For example if you are including content from another soruce via Atom or RSS and they contain links.
The best way is of course to remove the link tag (<a href="" >) from the content. But if this is not possible an alternate solution can be to cover it with a transparent div placed on top of the content using the z-index.
In a Joomla 2.5 installation, SEF URLs enabled and URL rewrite using .htaccess enabled I suddenly got internal menu links with URL:s containing Smart%20Search, like:
http://www.example.com/some-menu-item/Smart%20Search/some-article
The link itself does not work, ending up on an error page. I have no explanation why this occurs.
The solution is to go to Menu -> Menus, then select all menus and then click the Rebuild button
The other day I went to watch the demolition of the gas tower in Valby, Copenhagen. The demolition was done by detonating a series of explosive charges in the bottom of the tower. By placing and sequencing the explosions the tower was tipped over to the side with high precision, just like taking down a tree. I had never seen a demolition using explosives in reality before (only on video) so I was quite excited. Everything went exactly as planned. This is my video.
Slide the bar to 1:04 where the explosion begins. The event was rather big in Denmark. It was broadcasted live in television. See the news clip from TV2 News here.
After moving a Joomla 2.5 site to a new URL (i.e. new domain name) the backend (administrator) did no longer let me login as admin (or any other account for that matter). I tried to recover the admin account by setting the password field to a known value directly into the MySQL database described here, but it didn’t help.
The reason was that the cookie domain was set in the global configuration and this domain was different from the new domain where the site was installed. By editing the configuration.php file and emptying the $cookie_domain parameter I was able to login again, i.e:
public $cookie_domain = '';
A girlfriend to one of my friends recently decided to leave the dark side and replace her iPhone with an Android (good decision!). However when she was using the iPhone she also had enabled the iMessage texting.
After switching to her new Android phone her friends, that still was using iPhones, tried to text her. Because her iMessage account was still enabled the texts ended up in the Apple void and didn’t reach her. To disable it the SIM-card had to be put into an old iPhone 3 in order to turn the iMessage off. The iPhone she replaced was using micro-SIM but the Android had normal SIM:s so she had a new larger SIM that wouldn’t fit in her old iPhone. The iPhone 3 works with normal SIM cards so that is why a iPhone 3 had to be used to disable it.
So, if you decide to convert from iPhone to another brand, remember to turn iMessage off in the iPhone first!
I use a HTC Desire HD android mobile. My 8 GB SD card was getting full so I removed photos and videos that had already been copied to my PC. But I became a bit curious because of the 8 GB, the images and videos where not consuming the entire space.
To investigate further I connected the android phone using USB to my PC and used the PC:s explorer to dig into the SD-card.
I found out that the mail program stores images and other parts of emails in the Downloads folder on the SD card. After 1,5 years of use there where a significant amount of files there.
After deleting them i noticed there was a folder called .Mail (i.e. Downloads/.Mail) which contained >21.000 files consuming some 700 MB of space. The filenames began with "token". After some Googleing it seemed by the discussions I found that these are temporary files created each time a message is pushed to the phone. I decided to take a shot and delete them.
After deleting all files in the .Mail folder I opened the mail app on the phone. For a short moment a text was displayed "Preparing SD card". Then my inbox showed up and everything worked normal with the only difference that the mail app seemed a bit quicker now.
My conclusion is that it is probably safe to delete the content of the .Mail folder once in a while to free up some space.
