I wanted to put together some notes for the installation that I’ve done recently of Joomla

• Joomla_1.0.12-Stable-Full_Package
• tutorial_template
• com_sefpatch_1.011.zip – I had this emailed to me because the downloaded version had some errors with _1.0.12 – .12 worked on Greg’s server.
• plugin_jw_allvideos_2.4.zip – it’s a mambot
• I am starting to embed my own videos into my sites. I’ve found the the allvideos player is great for this. I’m using “Flash Video MX” to make the videos for this. With the version of allvideos I’m using now(early June 2007), I found a fix to allow me to add a start image.
• This is the tip:
  If you want a preview of your video, you can solve this problem for flv-files.

  1. You have to make little change in the php-file plugin_jw_allvideos.php
  You can find the file in the directory “mambots/content”.
  You must add to line 53 and 57 (where the values of the flv-array are set) :

  &image=$mosConfig_live_site/”.$video_folder.”***code***.png

  just after :
  file=$mosConfig_live_site/”.$video_folder.”***code***.flv

  and just before :
  $showdigits=true”.$autostart.”\”

  2. You must place the preview-image in the directory where your video is placed and give it the same name as the video.
  If you don’t want to use a preview-image, there is no problem; you just have the usable black background.
  The image that you use will be the background for your video, therefore it is best it has the same size as your videoframes. The image must be in the png format (otherwise you have to change ‘png’ in the code added, for instance in ‘jpg’ if you want to use jpg-files)

• http://forum.joomlaworks.gr/index.php?topic=383.0
• AkoComment_Tweaked_Special_Edition_unzip_me – this is a mambot, component and module
• Don’t forget to rename htaccess.txt
• Make configuration.php writable… probably 755
• In Administration, make it seo friendly
• SEF_advance.zip – this costs about $30
• I have licenses for webmarketingwatch.com and sagerock.com
• You can get a new version here: http://www.sakic.net/support/download/5/
• sef_advance_tester – run this to see if you need ioncube (you probably do)
• ioncube_loaders_lin_x86_ipf – run this on your local windows computer and it will upload the necessary files to the root folder of your web site. Then run sef_advance_tester again.
• Installation of SEF_advance
  —————
  If you are using Joomla! 1.0 or Mambo 4.5.1 or higher follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you have built-in SEF enabled and functional
  2. Replace your htaccess with the one found in SEF Advance zip package
  3. Install SEF Advance by uploading the SEF Advance zip file in admin (Components > Install)

• Single column home page: In the Administrator, I went to the main menu panel, clicked on home and changed it from 2 columns to 1 column.
• mod_faves.zip – This creates a link for social sites for each page. I’ve added it to “bottom” so it appears at the bottom of each page.

I’m going to put all of these files in: I-Marketing-WebMarketingWatch-Joomla

Che Guevara – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“I will perfect myself and accomplish whatever may be necessary in order to become a true revolutionary.”

It was during this period that he acquired his famous nickname, “Che”, due to his frequent use of the Argentine interjection [[Che]] (pronounced /t?e/), which is used in much the same way as “hey”, “pal”, “eh”, or “mate” are employed colloquially in various English-speaking countries.

Author Christopher Hitchens, a supporter of the Cuban revolution in the 1960s, summarised Guevara’s legacy thus: “Che’s iconic status was assured because he failed, His story was one of defeat and isolation, and that’s why it is so seductive. Had he lived, the myth of Che would have long since died.”

Karl Marx – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Religion is the sign of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

Those who must sell their labor power are “proletarians.” The person who buys the labor power, generally someone who does own the land and technology to produce, is a “capitalist” or “bourgeoise.” The proletarians inevitably outnumber the capitalists.

He believed that were the proletariat to seize the means of production, they would encourage social relations that would benefit everyone equally, and a system of production less vulnerable to periodic crises.

“between capitalist and communist society there lies the period of the revolutionary transformation of the one into the other. Corresponding to this is also a political transition period in which the state can be nothing but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat.”

Yet he was aware of the possibility that in some countries, with strong democratic institutional structures (e.g. Britain, the US and the Netherlands) this transformation could occur through peaceful means
